1. 3D Maps

   Implementation of 3D Maps

   Proposal Overview:
   I propose the integration of 3D maps into the Waze navigation app, enhancing the user experience and providing vital contextual information that improves navigation for drivers.

   Key Benefits of 3D Maps for Drivers:

   1. Enhanced Spatial Awareness:

      • Improved Orientation: 3D maps provide a more realistic view of the environment, helping drivers better understand their surroundings, especially in complex urban areas or mountainous regions.
      • Landmark Recognition: Drivers can more easily identify landmarks and key points of interest (POIs), which can aid in navigation and make routes more intuitive.

   2. Greater Route Clarity:

      • Elevation Changes: 3D maps can visually represent elevation changes and road grades, allowing drivers to prepare for inclines or declines, particularly in hilly terrains.
      • Intersection Complexity: 3D views can clarify multi-level intersections and overpasses, reducing confusion at critical junctions and decreasing the likelihood of wrong turns.

   3. Optimized Navigation Experience:

      • Realistic Context for Traffic and Incidents: Visualizing traffic congestion or incidents in three dimensions can help users gauge the severity of situations better and make informed route changes.
      • Enhanced Off-Road Navigation: For drivers navigating through less-developed areas or off-road locations, 3D maps can provide a clearer view of terrain and obstacles.

   4. Increased Engagement and Fun:

      • Gamification Elements: A 3D interface can introduce engaging features such as augmented reality (AR) overlays for navigation, creating a more interactive and enjoyable driving experience.
      • Visual Appeal: A modern, three-dimensional aesthetic can attract users who are drawn to visually appealing technology, potentially increasing user retention and satisfaction.

   5. Better Emergency Response:

      • Fundamentals for First Responders: In emergencies, 3D maps can help responders understand the landscape more effectively and navigate to incidents quicker. This can lead to improved operational efficiency during critical situations.

   6. Accessibility Considerations:

      • Supporting Navigational Needs: Enhanced visual information can be helpful for drivers with certain disabilities or cognitive challenges, providing additional context and clarity that may be beneficial for navigation.

   7. Competitive Advantage:

      • Stay Ahead in Market: Many navigation apps are incorporating 3D mapping. By introducing this feature, Waze can strengthen its market position, attract new users, and retain current ones by offering a state-of-the-art navigational experience.

   Conclusion:
   Integrating 3D maps into Waze will not only enhance users' navigational experience but also foster a greater understanding of their driving environments. This feature addresses both practical navigational challenges and provides a visually engaging experience, making Waze a leader in innovative navigation solutions. We believe that implementing 3D maps will create significant value for users and help Waze stay ahead in a competitive landscape.

   I look forward to discussing this proposal further and ways to bring this idea to fruition.

2. Dead End Signs

   Very important to have a dead end sign on the map before heading down that street, since many times waze will recommend certain roads even though it’s a dead end. Hope this was helpful and becomes a feature. Thank you.

3. Feed - Unique "Area" setting per feed type or "distance" sorting.

   I most often use the Solve Feeds to work User Reported issues across my managed area. While looking a those, I am inclined to work nearby surfaced MS and PUR. However those feeds greatly exceed the limit of items exposed.. As a result, the items in the feed are only the 500 most recent items, regardless of their proximity to where I am currently viewing. I'm not inclined to switch feeds and click though the 10 pages of items to get to the "Load more", and repeat that 5-10 times for the PUR feed, and then more than 50 times for the MS feed.

   Proposal 1: Separate "Area" scoping for each of the feed types.

   Proposal 2: The ability to return (and sorta specific feed) items by distance from my view center rather than Newest to Oldest.

   Either proposal could put more immediately actionable items in front of the editor at a time they are inclined to work them.

   I see the related requests updated while I was describing, and that this may be a duplicate or clarification of the "extra suggestions" in https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41506405--request-feed-filters

5. I want to put a warning icon like in partnership

   I would like to see the Waze Partnership-specific warning icons, which can currently only be installed on-site, made easier to install. For example, it would be useful to have a system where you can pull over and set it on the navigation screen, or a function where you can set it using the Waze Editor in your browser.

6. Inclusão de Semáforos, sem ou radar de velocidade.

   I propose the implementation of marking all traffic lights, even those without speed radar, in the Waze app’s mapping system. This feature aims to enhance the navigation experience, provide greater driver safety, and enable more accurate and efficient routes.

   Including traffic lights on the Waze map would allow:

   1. Greater Accuracy in Route Time Calculation: By accounting for waiting times at traffic lights, Waze’s algorithm could offer more precise route estimates, preventing unexpected delays for users.

   2. Suggestion of Faster and Safer Routes: With the location of traffic lights known, Waze could suggest alternative routes, avoiding intersections that require longer waiting times and catering to users’ preference for faster routes.

   3. Easier Navigation in Urban and Unfamiliar Areas: Marking traffic lights would aid drivers navigating unfamiliar areas, enhancing safety by providing alerts about controlled intersections and allowing drivers to prepare for stops.

   4. Fuel Consumption Optimization and Emissions Reduction: This feature would enable users to opt for routes with fewer traffic lights, reducing the number of stops and starts, positively impacting fuel consumption and emissions reduction.

   5. Reduction of Accidents and Traffic Violations: Notifications of approaching traffic lights help prevent red-light running and increase driver alertness in intersection areas, contributing to road safety.

   6. Average Waiting Time Indication at Traffic Lights
      
      Description: Beyond marking the location of traffic lights, Waze could display the average waiting time at each traffic light based on historical and real-time data, alerting drivers to intersections that cause significant delays.
      
      Benefits: This feature allows drivers to anticipate waiting times, adjusting their route or speed according to the wait time, thus improving trip planning.

   7. Alerts for Traffic Light Timing Changes Based on Time of Day
      
      Description: Many traffic lights adjust the green/red light duration based on the time of day. Waze could integrate these variations and provide alerts for timing changes during specific periods, such as peak hours.
      
      Benefits: Drivers are informed about waiting time changes, which increases the accuracy of arrival estimates and improves route selection during high-traffic times.

   8. “Green Wave” Notifications for Synchronized Traffic Lights
      
      Description: In locations where traffic lights are synchronized to form a “green wave” (a sequence of green lights), Waze could indicate this possibility, recommending an ideal speed for drivers to pass through several intersections without stopping.
      
      Benefits: This increases trip fluidity, avoiding unnecessary stops and contributing to more economical and less interrupted driving.

   9. Alerts for Traffic Lights with a Record of Accidents
      Description: Some traffic lights are in areas with high accident rates. Waze could highlight these points with caution alerts when approaching traffic lights known for incidents, even suggesting a safe approach speed.
      
      Benefits: This feature enhances road safety by alerting drivers in higher-risk areas and encouraging more cautious driving.

   10. Integration of Traffic Light Information with Driving Assistants in Smart Cars
       
       Description: For vehicles equipped with driving assistants, Waze could share information about the location and status of traffic lights, allowing the car to adjust speed and plan stops more precisely.
       
       Benefits: Integration with smart vehicles increases safety and driving efficiency, especially in urban areas with frequent stops.

   11. Optimized Route Studies for Traffic Lights at Off-Peak Hours
       
       Description: With traffic light data on the map, Waze could suggest optimized routes during late night or low-traffic times, avoiding intersections with slow traffic lights and proposing more direct paths.
       
       Benefits: Reduces travel time and fuel consumption during low-traffic hours, providing users with a quick and smooth navigation experience.

   12. Approach Notifications for Hidden Traffic Lights (Curves, Hills)
       Description: In areas where traffic light visibility is reduced (such as after a sharp curve or on an uphill road), Waze could issue visual and sound alerts in advance, preparing drivers to stop.
       
       Benefits: Increases safety in low-visibility areas, helping drivers avoid sudden braking and risky situations.

   13. Indication of Priority Lanes at Controlled Intersections
       Description: At intersections where there are specific priority lanes (such as left-turn lanes or bus-only lanes), Waze could display these indications, helping drivers position themselves correctly in advance.
       
       Benefits: Improves traffic flow by avoiding last-minute lane changes and helps drivers follow road markings correctly, reducing the risk of violations.

   Map updates can be carried out through collaborative information from Waze map editors, as well as government data on traffic light locations. I also suggest the option of customizing alerts, allowing users to choose whether to receive notifications when approaching traffic lights according to their preference.

   The implementation of traffic light markings on Waze is an innovative proposal, with the potential to improve the precision, safety, and efficiency of navigation. This feature, by adding a new layer of relevant information for users, could elevate the quality of service and make Waze an even more complete tool for urban mobility.

10. UR Menu - tooltip

    The UR menu breaks off URs with a long category. This has the effect that you cannot see in the menu when it was last updated, and you have to open the UR for that. So I suggest to make a tooltip for those URs, or alternatively make it 2 lines instead of one.

12. Add Digital Wallet/E-Wallet as an option for Services Provided and Parking Lot payment methods

    I think it's high time we add Digital Wallet/E-Wallets as an accepted payment method alongside Credit Cards in Places and also as a Payment Method in Parking Lots. A lot of places now, at least in Malaysia, accepts the use of digital wallet QR codes for payment instead of Credit/Debit cards.

13. Acceptance of adding a road closure without the need to manually specify the "event"

    I often handle the addition and removal of road closures via phone, but when I enter the dates, I am required to specify the type of event for it to be accepted. I believe it would be better to make the option more seamless, so that if "Add" is clicked, the road closure is added. If there is an event, I will certainly add it, but there’s no need to force me to select the "None" option just to proceed with the addition.

15. Change sound for "Car on Shoulder" - This one is overused on Highways

    I'm listening to music travelling down the highway only to be interupted by the Ding sound on the alerts Sound for the notification of "Car on Shoulder" hazard. Which since this one is actually just abandoned cars, this one goes off every 5km or so.

    I need a way to be able to record my own sound for "Car on Shoulder" or some way to remove that Ding sound it makes.

    I really only like to hear the important hazards: Police, Object on Road, Traffic Jam, etc.

16. Abandoned Car & Trucks on Shoulder Hazards shortcut

    The "Car on Shoulder" is becoming a standard warning for mostly just abandoned cars, the problem with this is there could be a genuine hazzard where there is a car slightly hanging over or someone changing their tire, three car pile ups, etc.

    The problem of the vagueness of "car on shoulder" is being overused. It should stay, but we might need others like "Abandoned Car" and "Truck on Shoulder" for like a tow truck or a semi-truck with a blown out tire or a larger vehicle on or near the road.

17. Report a People on the Road or Generic Hazzards Icon

    When there are dangerous situations on roads like an accident or car pile up or someone has had a load loose or changing their tyre, these are way more dangerous than the overly used "Car on Shoulder" hazzard, which people put for abandoned cars. We will also need an Abandoned Car hazzard i rekon.

    But people near the road is an actual hazard i want to know about.
