  1. Visual only Traffic Lights

    Hi Waze Team and Community,

    I’d like to suggest the implementation of a visual-only Permanent Hazard for traffic lights (eg. located at pedestrian crossings that are not part of an intersection or junction).

    Currently, to map a traffic light, we often have to split segments to create a junction. However, on long roads with simple pedestrian crossings, "breaking" the segment can negatively impact routing data and unnecessarily complicate the map.

    Having a specific "Traffic Light" hazard (similar to the "Red Light Camera" but without the enforcement/fine implication) would allow:
    Better driver awareness of upcoming stops for pedestrians.
    Cleaner map geometry,…

  2. Notify User when PUR approved

    Waze should notify the user when an editor approves or disapproves a PUR. That way, the process doesn't feel as much like a "black box" for the user.

  4. Car Play - Heads up Display Integration

    Google maps and Apple maps has this feature.

    With my car, I have a heads up display feature.
    The direction arrows and lane arrows will show up on the heads up display.

    I'm not sure what tech this is actually linking into to do this, but I would love this feature.

  5. Add destination after the actual destination (optional)

  6. Toggle to avoid turning right/left where there are no traffic lights.

    The ability to toggle on or off to avoid turning left (In right hand drive countries) and right (In left hand drive countries) where there is no traffic lights present. Sometimes waiting at a giveaway to cross traffic can take a lot longer than driving a bit further and turning at a turn signal. Or for those who aren't comfortable. Also, could filter it to only lights with turning lights to be more specific.

  7. Prevent segment node merging in certain cases

    Just like when the speed limit or name differs between two segments we are trying to merge, merging segments by deleting a node should not be allowed if:

    • the segment elevations are different
    • the number of lanes is different
    • segment alternate addresses are different (or one does not contain an alternate address and one does)

    The goal is to prevent segment elevation or routing errors when cleaning up seemingly unnecessary junction nodes in an area.

    I might be forgetting some cases, so please feel free to add any relevant ones in the comments!

  16. Different speed limits for School zone Polygon depending on Entry Point

    When creating School zones, i encounter the weird situation where the same segment has 2 different speeds, for example: when you go Southbound is 25mph school zone and for the same street but going Northbound the speeed is 15mph. in this case we will use the lowest speed but this wont be accurate, as the alert is telling users that the School zone is 15mph, mean while they going Southbound where the School sign shows 25mph, so this would create URs, complaining about the proper speed for the Soutbound lane, and this is what this suggestions is intended for so…

  18. Road Closure Metrics

    It would be nice to be able to see how many people were successfully rerouted around a closure. We specifically use road closures for emergencies like crashes on major roadways, and it would be beneficial to be able to see how effective that is.

  19. Türkiye: Integrate official Ministry of Interior radar, checkpoint, and average-speed corridor data

    Waze should consider integrating official public traffic-enforcement data for Türkiye from the Turkish Ministry of Interior:

    https://www.icisleri.gov.tr/iller-arasi-radar-ve-kontrol-noktasi-uygulama-sayilari

    This official page allows drivers to view the number of speed corridors, radar controls, and police/gendarmerie control points on selected intercity routes. According to the Ministry page, the data covers traffic applications carried out by Police and Gendarmerie units on the selected route and is refreshed every 30 minutes.

    Adding this data to Waze would be very useful for drivers in Türkiye, especially on intercity routes. The goal would not be to help drivers avoid the law, but to improve road-safety awareness and…

  20. Selection of the period of GPS history

    As the editor, I would like to have an impact on the length of the GPS track history.

    Sometimes you need a short history to catch events, and sometimes as long as possible to check the traffic density or the correctness of the road.
