  1. Traffic jam voice alerts

    Add voice alerts along route for traffic jams up ahead. If you are driving you can not see them until it is too late. Right now, it is only visible on map with no voice alerts.

  2. Route by best value rather than fastest route

    Waze has, on multiple occasions, suggested long detours that are expected to only be a few minutes faster. When you consider the fuel-costs, cost to operate, etc. this is equivalent to paying a toll to save a few minutes.

    If a wazer could specify the value of their time and the cost of operating their vehicle then the route planning could find the route with the lowest cost (cost being value of one minute X duration of drive plus operating cost X length of drive).

    Since many wazers might not understand how to determine the correct value for their time…

  3. Replace ':' and '>' by a direction field

    Hi guys,

    The idea would be to replace the ':' or '>' instructions present on segments by a direction field that
    would not display on the segment name but would allow to construct the guidance instructions.

    This would allow to properly manage the direction signs in the city without having this kind a street : "Street Chip: Dale area" and easily managed the directions in roundabouts, etc.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Hey!
    Thank you for this suggestion.

    We are currently working on a road shields feature for the WME, and we believe this suggestion will be addressed as part of this development.

    We will update accordingly.

  7. report from home/office

    I don't always have time or ability to safely report an issue while driving. While it wouldn't be as fresh, a report of such things as standing water, downed branches, black ice,..etc would/could still be relevant and maybe save some hassle or even a life and heartache. I'd like to be able get to the office, open Waze and mark a map where a hazard is...with a time stamp so that users would know how fresh it is...and it could be verified by another user before becomoing "hot".

  9. Chuva

    Gostaria de fazer uma sugestão. vamos lá, caso adotem. O waze poderia dizer se o caminho escolhido está chovendo ou não. Isso seria útil para condutores de moto, mas não só. Outra sugestão seria uma opção para bloquear a tela contra toques acidentais quando aberto. Quando chove os pingos caem na tela e atrapalham e chegam a fechar o waze.

  13. Truck mode, Modo para camiones

    Español: Agreguen modo para camiones, ya que al no señalar donde hay tuneles o su altura pueden ocurrir accidentes y no quiero que eso suceda.

    English: Add mode for trucks, since by not indicating where there are tunnels or their height accidents can occur and I do not want that to happen.

    Portugués: Modo add para caminhões, pois ao não indicar onde existem túneis ou sua altura podem ocorrer acidentes e eu não quero que isso aconteça.

  14. [REQUEST] Feed Filters

    It would be very nice if we could filter the feed by notification types (more or less like URO+ does, but without having to reload the feed several times to find the ones you selected).

    Options suggested:

    Notifications (checkboxes):
    - PURs (and subtypes);
    - URs (and subtypes);
    - PMs.

    Areas:
    - State XX (particularly useful for SMs and CMs);
    - Areas driven [last XX days];
    - Country (useful for CMs);
    - All editable areas.

    Those above are what I miss the most. But, since we're at it, some extra suggestions would be:

    Listing reason:
    - Reported by you;
    - New…

  15. Option for not enabling Closed updates layer when opening UR

    The latest version of WME will now enable the Closed updates layer when opening a UR. Many editors don't want or need this, so I am suggesting a toggle (setting) to prevent this from occurring.

  18. Topes en Mexico

    Debería existir la opción de agregar los topes en todos los estados de México, ya que cuando es de noche o llueve estos no se distinguen, ya que muchos no están pintados como advertencia de reducción e velocidad.

  20. 🔥WILDFIRE ALERTS

    Show presence of wildfires and allow for user generated alerts of wildfire presence and closures due to wildfires. Create enhanced emergency alerts if user is near wildfire radius.
    Partner perhaps with AREDN mesh network for live data feeds.
