Toggle navigation options in route
When already in navigation, and pulling up to see the route options... You should be able to toggle the navigation options, say, in a secondary section below the different routes available.
Examples:
- avoid freeways
- avoid ferries
- avoid toll roads
- etcThat way, you don’t have to go into Th e overall settings of the entire app. The setting stay as default, but the options you toggle are for that specific navigation in progress.
I sometimes want backroads, or whatever. And I don’t want to change the “entire app“ setting. Just that one time. Flexible. I can…

The reporting interface is dangerous while driving and needs improvement
I think that there are quite a few suggestions indicating that the report interface is dangerous while driving and therefore needs improvement. It is not acceptable to go through several levels of clicks to make a report as one drives. It might be useful to allow one to rearrange or perhaps prioritize the report icons so that common reports are 'one click'. Linking the icons with a voice activation phrase is also a good idea that appears to have quite a few votes spread through several suggestion postings.

Continue navigating until the car stops.
Please continue navigating to the Destiination until I have stopped and clicked a button on the screen. Often I passed my Destiination not knowing which house I’m supposed to stop at and then the GPS has stopped and said I have arrived. This is not how it should work. Garman GPS would keep navigating and re-navigate if you passed your destination.

Please use a professional Chinese voice, for example, the previous Lily one
The previous Chinese voice: Lily is VERY great, clear and professional, our Chinese community really loves it.
But in the recent update, the voice is GONE! We don't know why.
Actually, I searched and just found it online, you can check why your team deletes her voice.
If you really replace with new ones, please make sure the new ones are as good as the previous ones. Because the current Mandarine voice (Tongtong and Xioameng) is just so so, which is definitely from a non-native Chinese speaker.
Thanks.

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

Pin Music Player
It would be nice if you could pin the music player so that way alerts doesn’t close it all the way out.

Waze for new drivers (permits, junior licenses)
In some states (like NY), you are not allowed to drive on certain roads or bridges with a driver's permit. For example, there are several parkways and most of the bridges and tunnels in/out of NYC except the GWB and Lincoln Tunnel. And in NYC, you cannot drive on roads in a park. It would be great if there was an option to select navigation that avoided these particular restricted roads.

recycling Feature
Dear Waze, I am a sixth grader at Spring Creek Elementary in Dallas, Texas. My robotics team and I are working on our project for the First Lego League City Shaper season. The goal of the project this season is to somehow improve our city. We are acknowledging that the world is having a hard time recycling. Would you help our cause and consider adding a special feature on Waze or Google Maps that shows where recycling bins owned by stores and other buildings that have signed up to have their recycling bin available to the public. Recycling is important since…

Re-arranging the waze application display for "landscape" screens
On a 7" car display, which is a "landscape" display, the Waze application displays the "Next turn" box, including the turn description, on about a quarter of the screen, sometimes even larger. The Result is that the on-coming road map is covered by the box, and the "turn area" shows only at the last minute. For such a "landscape" display the screen display should be re-arranged so that the important part of the on-coming map shall not be hidden until the very last minute, similar to the standard "portrait" telephone display.

Report Traffic lights in Android Auto
The button to report faulty traffic lights is already in the mobile version of the app. Can we please get it ported over to the Android Auto version? At any point in time at least 30% of South Africa's traffic lights don't work and it would help many users if a few of us could report from our car displays.

CarPlay - Not able to report Roadwork that is on the side of the road
Why isn't it possible for the Waze CarPlay app to report roadwork in the side of the road? Roadwork is only available on the road.

Stop Route Changes Automatically
When I choose one of the 3 route options DON’T change it just because I take a different road along the way. As long as I am still able to get to the chosen route don’t change to a new one automatically. People know the advantages of roads local to their starting point. There is no need to override those choices.

Tell me the lane number for an accident or debris
For all alerts, please say WHICH LANE the debris or accident or roadkill, etc. is in. That way we will know in advance to change lanes. Number the lanes and put a little lane map on the screen so we all know which lane is which.

CarPlay car audio Navigation volume test addition
I have noticed in two cars (my 2019 Nissan and a 2019 Subaru) that with CarPlay the "Navigation" volume can only be adjusted when the Waze app is actually "saying" something.
It is possible to stimulate a voice response (change to an alternate route and hit "go" or use the microphone to enter a nonsense command).
The addition of a "test navigation sound" to the "sound options" menu in Waze would be a more helpful and direct method to adjust the car's entertainment system "navigation" volume. Waze could just babble about something and show a tool tip "adjust car audio…6 votes -
