Atualização em tempo real mais precisa, ele tem cometido VÁRIOS ERROS.
Devido a muitas mudanças e obras no trânsito do Distrito Federal-Brasília, nós usuários de aplicativo Waze percebemos que o app trava, envia para Vias com muitos engarrafamentos, não dá opção de marginais ou vias paralelas, vias alternativas secundárias. E atrapalha o tempo de chegada ao destino. Mesmo as vias com acidentes ele tem nos direcionado a seguir. Tem que mapear melhor as alternativas e atalhos.

Send ETA➡️ Live Activity
I would like to have a live activity on my phone just like google maps have been testing out that shows progress of the trip. When I share my eta with someone, it would be cool if they got a live activity just like Lyft/uber does.

Parking spaces for the disabled
Please add parking spaces for the disabled (blue envelopes). Ideally, they can be added like, for example, dangers. Enough to be able to navigate to them. Tom

Highways traffic officer
Proposal: Addition of National Highways Traffic Officer Reporting Option in Waze
In the United Kingdom, National Highways deploys Traffic Officers to manage both emergency and routine incidents on the strategic road network. These officers are civilian personnel and are not police officers.
Currently, within Waze, patrol vehicles operated by National Highways Traffic Officers are frequently misreported by users as police vehicles. This creates confusion for drivers who receive notifications of “police reported ahead,” only to find that the vehicle in question belongs to a Traffic Officer rather than the police.
To address this, I propose the introduction of a new…

Indicate tunnels in the map
When work in progress associated with the vicinity of tunnels, a clear indication on the map of the tunnel precise location can help identifying if the danger is associated while exiting the tunnel or further away.
This make a huge difference in the attention and help ease the driving.6 votes -
Waze drivers in Canada should be able to report the locations of both Speed and Stoplight Cameras. This ability is not currently vailable.
Speed cameras are being used more and more in Canada, to issues speeding fines. This in itself is not a bad thing except speeding tickets are issued by computer even when only over the speed limit by 1 or 2 kilometers.
Stop light camers are increasing at intersections. Wazers can help slow down traffic for safety by reporting thes camera locations. Reducing speeds in these areas can save lives. Non-wazers who speed through intersections even when the light is red, should be fined and heavily !!
Wazers could help control speeds in critical pedestrian areas by reporting the locations of…

Narrow Road Permanent Hazard
This permanent hazard would warn users of an upcoming section of narrower road width that has traffic and/or safety considerations. Potential applications include:
Areas where a two-way road transitions to a single-lane width where opposing traffic must alternate/give way through the narrow section

Please add "pause" function for Closures
The "pause" feature will allow editing/modification of segments affected by an ongoing closure. While the closure is active, those segments cannot be edited until the closure concludes or is deleted and recreated. Temporarily pausing a closure to allow changes allows editors to modify any part of the segment. This is useful for long-term closures where significant changes are made to the segments. These changes can be applied to the WME before the closure ends or the roadway expansion or work project is completed, allowing those segments to reopen to vehicle traffic.

Allow speed bump identification for south africa map
South Africa has a lot of speed humps which extend across the entire width of the road.
These speed bumps are not marked very well and adding these to the map will be a great help.1 vote -

alternate routes
I drive to the same home twice a week, another location once a week, and run errands on Tuesdays. I use Waze not because I don’t know the routes, but to ensure I’m taking the path of least resistance.
Waze often suggests a route different from my usual one — but I don’t know why. It would be extremely helpful if Waze could show a brief explanation such as “2 minutes faster due to traffic” or “avoids accident ahead.”
Knowing the reason would help me trust Waze’s rerouting, especially when I have regular routes and driving habits.

Add Road Recommendation Options: Automatic / Recommended / Not Recommended
I suggest adding a new feature in the Waze Map Editor (WME) that allows editors to set a road recommendation level with three options:
Automatic – Let the system decide the road's priority based on current data.
Recommended – Gives the road a higher priority in route suggestions for users.
Not Recommended – Lowers the road’s priority in suggested routes, used only when no better alternatives are available.
Benefits:
Improves navigation accuracy for drivers.
Prioritizes safer or faster roads.
Avoids suggesting problematic or less suitable roads unless necessary.
Provides greater flexibility in controlling road priority to better match real-world conditions.

Add "Road Under Construction" option in WME
I suggest adding a new option in the Waze Map Editor (WME) called "Road Under Construction", allowing editors to mark roads that are incomplete or still being built and not yet open to traffic.
Benefits:
Prevent drivers from being routed to unfinished or closed roads.
Visually distinguish these roads with a special color or icon.
Allow setting an estimated opening date so the road can be activated automatically when ready.
Reduce complaints and reports caused by inaccessible roads.
This feature will help improve map accuracy and provide a better user experience for Waze drivers.

Minimum Zoom level for URs/Issues Tab
It would be great to decrease the minimum zoom levels for Issues tab, which would help editors monitoring a larger area. Currently URs/Issues are only shown at a minimum zoom level of 12, which isn't wide enough for bigger countries like Australia.
It would be much more convenient for an editor to have this level reduced to something close to 10.

Automatic approval of EVCS PURs from EVCS Feed Data
Since these come up from an automated feed (I am assuming Waze has some channel similar to Petrol Station PURs), is there a reason that Waze doesn't automatically approve them?
I understand that, similar to petrol stations, these need to be verified, to some extent. However, the scope of verification of these places could easily become unmanageable for volunteers.
Unlike traditional petrol stations, with EVCS, there could be any number of plug types, network types, payment types, etc., all at the same place.
It would be much better use of volunteer time and resources to automatically approve first (as configured),…
