2 Fixed Safety Cameras alerting suggestion
There are 2 fixed safety cameras located on Kwinana Freeway in Perth northbound at Mill Point Road and Gentilli Way that not only catch speeding, but also mobile phone and seatbelt infractions. Currently both are only indicated and treated as a speed camera on waze, so they only make an alert sound when speeding. Might I suggest you activate the alert every time when passing as it is a multi purpose camera.

Userability Issue: Notifications show up and cover important info on screen
Notifications about police, accidents, speed traps and cameras show upon the lower left corner of the screen and cover up important information. These notifications should show up elsewhere, so the important information isn't covered. Move the notifications to the top middle of the screen. There is no useful info there.

An easy to find link that list all the terms for reporting that waze will reconize.
When I’m driving with Waze, I hear reports for many different road issues. However, when I try to report those same issues using the exact wording Waze uses, the app doesn’t recognize them. For example, Waze announces a “pothole,” but to report it, you have to say “pothole on road.”
There should be a list accessible from the three-line menu in the top-left corner that shows each incident and the exact terms required to report it. This would reduce frustration and encourage more users to report issues.
Also, the spoken options shown under the bottom-right triangle aren’t recognized when said…1 vote -
Draw Bridge Traffic Controls
My suggestion is Draw Bridge Traffic Control as a Perm Hazzard in WME
Awareness need for Draw Bridge control ahead that could engage their Traffic Light or Swing Arms to stop traffic.
The icon should be different for a Draw Bridge than the usual Traffic Light icon.In more words:
We have RRC and now rolling out Traffic Lights. RRC can be plain, can have Traffic Lights, and can have Swing Arms. Draw Bridge controls pose the same problem. But in this case, they usually have both Traffic Lights and Swing Arms or some other blocks.No difference than a…

Add selectable traffic light icon options & updated TTS for flashing signals
In order to be more hyperlocal, please add selectable traffic light icon options to WME that would then display in the app at intersections where flashing yellow (warning) lights are erected or those that have flashing red lights (stop). In some areas, red flashing lights exist and do indicate it's a stop but from a TTS and visual perspective, "Turn left|right at the flashing light" is much more hyperlocal than turn at the stop sign, when a stop sign might not actually exist there.
An example of said light: https://beta.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=31.77078&lon=-94.19763&marker=true&zoomLevel=19

Here are several feature ideas that could significantly improve the Waze driving experience:Showing the averag
Average Speed Display
Showing the average speed between speed cameras or along specific road segments to help drivers maintain legal and safe speeds.Road Bumps and Potholes Alerts
Allowing users to report speed bumps, potholes, and damaged road surfaces to warn other drivers and improve ride safety.Public Restroom Locations
Adding clearly marked public toilet locations along routes and in urban areas for drivers who need quick stops.Vehicle Type Selection (Cars & Trucks)
Enabling drivers to select their vehicle type, including trucks and delivery vehicles, so routes are optimized based on road width, height restrictions, and inaccessible streets.Multi-Stop…

Highway shields instead of plain numbers in Livemap and WME
In the Waze Map Editor and in Livemap, highways are currently identified only by “badges” that display the route numbers, without their alphabetical prefixes.
It would be very helpful to update these highway badges in both WME and Livemap to use the highway shield standard that already exists in the app.
This change would not only improve clarity, but also promote visual consistency of highway shields across all Waze platforms.

Fix the bug where it says you must submit current edits for review before you can edit another segment.
There's a bug where it says, "To edit another section, you must submit current edits for review." However, I have no edits ready to submit. After a few refreshes, one may show up so I deleted any edit shown under the "submit edits" button and start over but end up with the same error message.
So either there's a bug or you can't edit the speed limit on multiple segments of the same road at the same time? If that's the issue, then that would also be a pain. In about one mile of road in my local neighborhood, I'm…

Post-Trip Summary & Route Comparison
I would like to request a "Trip Summary" card that appears automatically upon reaching a destination. Currently, the navigation simply ends, and valuable driving data is lost.
Proposed Metrics to Display:
- Performance: Distance, Total Time, Avg/Max Speed.Efficiency: Estimated fuel/battery cost for the trip.
Traffic Insight: Moving time vs. Stopped time (idling/traffic).
Smart Comparison Feature: For frequent routes (specifically "Home" to "Work" and vice versa), the summary should include a comparison against the user's historical average.
Example: "You arrived 3 minutes faster than your average commute."
Benefit: This would help users analyze their driving habits, optimize their commute times,…

Add cycling tracks for end-users and "Waze Edit mode"
Make cycling an option for end-users and in "Edit mode", alongside the existing options for Road, Walking Trail, Roundabout, and Junction box, considering there is more and more bicycle usage across the globe.

Show the direction of travel on one-way streets
I was driving through a downtown area yesterday that has a lot of one-way streets. I was trying to leave the area, but couldn't see which one-way street was going in the direction I needed to go. Can waze put arrows in the direction of travel allowed on one-way streets?

Pontos de recarga de carros elétricos
O waze poderia mostrar pontos de recarga elétrica veicular em seus mapas, cada vez mais aumenta o numero de pontos de recarga e a venda de veículos híbridos e elétricos, e nesse ponto indicaria qtd de pontos e a potência do carregador, dando a opção de colocar o preço do KW.

Add start/end for average speed zones in WME and take them into account in the app
We need two new PH camera types for average speed zone start and end detection or a similar approach, which would allow the editors to map the start and end of average speed sections on top of the existing flag for the segments. The cameras would serve the following functions:
Indicate the start of a zone or a section in the zone - to be used for the alerts in the app instead of the segment flag. This would improve the accuracy and the experience for drivers who join the zone/section in the middle, including in residential areas where the…

Import Addresses for route optimization
Route4Me just lost functionality so Waze has an opportunity here... especially if you want to offer individuals a free plan but then sell to corporations a route optimization tool for their field reps/drivers.
I used that app for 5 years and was able to import an excel file with my client addresses, they now shut off that option for individuals and you can only access it from a corporate account.Basically if I have 10 clients on excel I need to go to today, I want to be able to import that into Waze, and then Waze will "optimize" the…

Allow users/editors to upload a picture for a poi from device/WME rather than take a photo on the place from car.
…My suggestion is the following feature: Allow users and editors to upload photos from their phone’s gallery (taken before or after visiting a place) rather than only allowing “instant” photos taken from car from a really bad angle. My suggestion solves this problem: Many current POI photos are low-quality or taken from bad angles because they are often snapped quickly while in transit. Allowing gallery uploads would result in better, more helpful photos that accurately describe a location’s surroundings. In more words: Finding specific points, like a package delivery locker (automat), can be difficult without clear visual clues. I suggest3 votes
