I think it's sad that a certain group of drivers know they driving in contravention of the road traffic laws and yet want Waze to help them avoid the penalties.
And if they are driving within the law, what is their problem? When we are driving within the law, the police are of no concern to us.

This is an interesting one. On the face of it a good idea but then one has to ask "how is the driver on such a slow traffic road that he has the time to focus on all the necessary input without compromising safety?". Isn't it both the job of Waze to route the driver along less crowded roads; and isn't it in the driver's self-interest to choose less crowded roads?
If the traffic is continuously so bad and the route choices so few that this becomes a sensible suggestion, I suspect that whatever you do, congestion on all routes raises other issues beyond Waze.

I disabled the voice directions years ago. I just don't need them. My phone is just off centre from my line of sight which means I can take a quick look at the directions with minimal compromise to driving safety.
I found over time that the constant "ear-worm" of "turn left" "turn right" "third exit on the....". Oh GIVE IT A REST... I can see where I am supposed to be driving.
I don't need the voice and hence I don't need a "Quiet Button" or even worse, the danger of trying to shut down Waze to shut it up...

I suggest this is combined with "https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/10321077-quick-location-marker-button"

I am on the same page as these guys. I would like a Rapid Incident Button; one that I can toggle on/off and place anywhere on the screen. on pressing it multiple times it lets me record a location while concentrating on driving. Later I can review the incidents and report them safely.
What if i see (take a silly number - but not impossible) ten issues in rapid succession eg an accident, a flood, a car on the hard should etc. It's just not safe and indeed not possible to report multiple incidents like this and do it safely.
It's not unusual to find multiple potholes100m apart. Currently, while reporting one, I could be wrecking the car by driving into another because the act of reporting takes the drivers attention. Again, Using the RIB, I can drive safely, record the location safely and report valuable issues back to the community.

It stands to reason that the W3W accuracy is far superior to postcodes. Addresses can be variable in accuracy, much to the driver's annoyance.
For the purposes of any human being at any point in the foreseeable future, a 3m square is likely to move no more than a couple of centimetres in their lifetime. Hence the W3W location model is pretty-much fool proof... my wife excepted ha ha!
Don't show this to my wife... :-)Waze, please adopt W3W...

I support this idea.
I have noticed that when a very bad traffic condition occurs, Waze gives only local alternative route options that rejoin the original route. I would like to see a "get out of a real problem" button.
This morning there was a parked removal lorry some half a mile from where I joined the queue. But all I could see was a line of cars in front going nowhere. One route option included a mile and a half detour around an estate to rejoin the original route a hundred metres further along on the wrong side of the parked van.
It would be handy for more radical route options to be available eg "give me some options that ignore the existing route entirely and if necessary backtrack and take me all the way round the area of the current route". It might mean a "James Bond Aston Martin seat ejector button" -type button :D to get me out of a problem, if you get my drift...?
I would like to see a a "radical re-route" list of route options.
Now I realise that Waze can only work with the current map data, but I am sure that others will have fallen foul of this problem too.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

surely it's just a case of mounting an RPG launcher on your vehicle roof. No one will bother you on seeing that as a possible means of retaliation...
