  1. Temporary real-time traffic regulations override

    Police frequently implement temporary local traffic regulations, such as diverting vehicles through bus lanes or HOV lanes. On Waze, these segments are typically mapped with Time-Based Restrictions (TBRs) to prevent routing through them. However, these areas are usually pre-mapped. I propose creating a new entity within WME that can be toggled in real-time to override existing TBRs, allowing for more accurate routing based on live traffic conditions

  2. Funcionamiento en Android Auto sin Satélites GPS

    Cuando usas Waze en Android Auto, puede usar la información del vehículo para saber la ubicación cuando no hay gps disponibles como un tunes. Por ejemplo en Madrid, la carretera M30 Tiene muchos km bajo tierra donde no se pueden usar los SATÉLITES, por lo que una vez entras en la M30 Waze se pierde y no sabe donde estás, por lo que no te avisa de salidas, radares ni nada más. Sería interesante que al igual que otros GPS usara la velocidad del vehículo y la trayectoria por el volante para calcular la ruta que hace el vehículo y…

  3. Aviso radares sin llegar a la velocidad límite

    El aviso de radares solo avisa si superas la velocidad del mismo. Eso puede provocar que te coja el radar, si en ese momento estas en un adelantamiento y no te has dado cuenta. Por lo que sería interesante que cuando te arpoximes a un radar se escuche algún sonido, un pitido o algo similar, aunque no estés superando la velocidad límite.

  5. 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.

  6. Seaarching on crossings

    By long streets, it is easier to place two street names in the searching box so you can find direct the correct crossing, like it is possible in Google Maps

  8. Waze Map Editor rework

    Enhance the Waze Map Editor to emulate the user-friendly interface and intuitive features recently introduced in the revamped Google Maps road editor. The current design and user interactions within the Waze Map Editor, particularly when adding new roads, can be quite hard.

  10. Change URL on edits link from zoom=3 to zoomLevel=19

    At this time, from the recent edits of a user is quite zoomed out, and could do with being zoomed in a bit. However, the URL uses zoom instead of zoomLevel, which means either a bit of typing or having to manually search the requested edit.

    For example, starting at https://www.waze.com/en-GB/user/editor/BeRoWaz I click edit and the URL looks something like:
    https://www.waze.com/editor?lon=-0.13972619910350798&lat=51.52628621696506&zoom=3

    I have to manually change that URL to something like:
    https://www.waze.com/editor?lon=-0.13972619910350798&lat=51.52628621696506&zoomLevel=19

    The request is that the URL is edited to be zoomLevel=19 instead of zoom=3

  11. When adding hazards, log GPS coordinates when click on the yellow triangle

    At the moment, the location of a hazard is logged when the final tap is made (i.e. Hazard > Hazard > Vehicle on shoulder) - can the location not be changed so that it's logged when the first tap is made on the hazard triangle - it will make locations of hazards more accurate as now it can be half a mile down the road by the time the final tap is made...

  12. Add an alert feature for vehicle driving in wrong direction on highway

    Hi,

    Recently in my neighborhood there was an incident where a southbound vehicle travelled on a northbound lane which resulted in a fatal accident. I have not been able to stop thinking about this incident.

    When this incident occurred, there were several calls made to 911 by commuters who noticed the vehicle driving on the wrong side. Is it possible that Waze could tie up with 911 or capture this information is some way and get an alert out to other commuters who are unaware of such a vehicle? Although this would not prevent this type of incident, it would…

  13. Traffic Indication on UR reports

    When dealing with Update Requests, I'm seeing quite a few which has dubious waze navigation instructions where having an indication of the traffic levels at the exact point of the report being made would be quite advantageous.

    In this example, was the bad navigation due to traffic levels, or do we have a serious mapping issue? Can't tell with the limited amount of information made available by the UR report.

    Having such tools available would help greatly with managing the map

  14. Ability to lock screen while riding

    Whilst riding (motorcycle) in the rain, the rain can oftentimes register as accidental touches, causing unintentional actions (panning, changing destination etc).

    The option to lock the screen from accidental touches and perhaps a simple press and hold or unlock gesture to re-enable touches would help to prevent accidental/unintentional inputs and would reduce avoidable hassle whilst riding in (already) difficult circumstances

  17. Add height, width restriction for roads, and height, width of vehicle as config option

    It is very annoying using Waze and being routed on some shortcut through a tunnel or some narrow road where your car doesn't fit.
    This happened to me few times while driving a camper.

  20. Parking spaces available in car parks in real time

    Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.

    It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.
    Morover many cities with real time feed have digital screen…
