Allow me to define my daily commute route and show a look-ahead summary of any speed traps or accidents for entire route
When I leave to go to or from work, I would just like to see a summary that tells me if there are any speed traps or accidents along the route. Distance to the incident would be a plus, as would an audible alert when I am within a mile or two. I ride a motorcycle so interacting with the waze app while riding is impossible.

Distinguish "avoid toll roads" and "avoid limited traffic roads"
Actually we have two functions "avoid toll roads" and "avoid limited-traffic roads" in one single navigation option.
It's needed to distinguish them, because we might want to use toll roads, like highways, but might not want to get a fine to have entered a limited-traffic roads.Many thanks.

Voice announce distances to accident
The announcement "Accident reported ahead" does not give enough information to the driver.
As Waze has the location of an accident why not announce it or at least show it the same way that police or speed traps are announce.

Supplemental Extended Maneuver
More info:
https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=91448Sometimes we have so more complicated crossroad that standard left/right is not enough to give exact instructions for a driver. Finally we must to choose which road gets a better direction.
These additional maneuvers could replace standard left/right and to design better driving instructions.

setup actions for use by trigger (app)
I use an app called trigger to start waze when I get into my car. It allows actions to be executed on apps. (Eg for music player it can start playing music, stop playing etc) Would it be possible to set actions that allow actions to be executed by such programs? Simple things like start navigating home/work/close?

An option to tell Waze it's got me pointed in the wrong direction
When I'm trying to add a stop before I start driving and Waze has me pointed in the wrong direction, it'll suggest stops that are further off-route than it realizes because once I get started the route will be recalculated based on my actual direction of travel. If I could just tap the "me" icon and say "point me the other way!" that'd be tremendously helpful.

recent change says "turn left" or "turn right" too far ahead in addition to closer instructions.
It could say "the next turn will be a left turn" to give you a heads up. It does later say "turn left in xxxx feet" but when listening to instructions instead of viewing them, I have inadvertently turned when it said "turn left" when the turn wasn't really there for 750-1000 feet.

Better support for intents
GMM supports many more intents than Waze, and what waze does support does not always work.
For example, Waze can handle http://maps.google.com/maps, but, Google's web maps now uses just http://maps.google.com/
And you don't handle https:// at all.The geo:lat,lng intent seems to occasionally work. But not consistently. Didn't try geo:?q=... types of intents.
And of course, there are all sorts of country specific maps.google.* variations that aren't handled. Don't know if Android intents handle wild cards or not. It appears that GMM explicitly lists everything.

Panic button
I recently came across an app called Panic Me. It would be nice if something like that can be integrated into Waze so if we have an emergency or need help one press if a button would email or text selected contacts with our exact location.

Create a "memory mode" for operation without internet accesses
Create a "memory mode" for operation without internet accesses.
The memory mode should store the information about where you drive up to XX minutes (to be configured by the user) and will be fed to internet when then network is available again.
This feature will help to log off-road and path in mountain where the cell phone coverage is bad.

Report markers should be marked when the user presses the report button, not the send button.
Whenever I drive on windy freeways, or freeways with frequent blind spots, I don't see reportable items (police, vehicles on shoulder, etc) until the moment I pass them. Given the typical delay of entering the data into Waze, the markers end up being 500 to 1000 plus feet away from the actual item being reported.

I think you should make the display "reversible". so i can place the phone on my dashboard and see the real map properly off a reflection
if you make the display reversible, I would place the phone on my dashboard to make a reflection in the window, creating a heads up display.

Suppress Repeat of Long-term Alerts
Suppress repeat audio alerts for "long-term alerts" such as red-light cameras. User to press a squelch button on the alert pop-up, so that subsequent drive by the same location won't trigger the audio alert.
This annoys me some, but my wife absolutely HATES it when Ms Waze blurts out "red light camera ahead" on the roads we travel every day. The squelch button would enable me to not only squelch Ms Waze, but also would make our marriage more enjoyable!
Those who like to hear the incessant warnings would simply not press the squelch for any given alert. Everybody would…

Flash directions section of the screen when approaching turn
When approaching a turn flash the directions section of the screen a few times. This allows for users that use waze with the volume down but can still alert them to an approaching turn by getting their attention.

add prompt to go straight at intersection
at the moment, the default navigation of waze says nothing when you're supposed to go straight through an intersection. this is problematic in cases where after a long straight there are two intersections closely after one another and sometimes it is tough to guess how many '800/400/200metres' actually are, so you end up turning one turn too soon.

Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete
When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.
I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.
BACKGROUND
Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.
=== Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===
Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to…
