Vibration-only alerts for passengers
It would be nice to have vibration-only alerts for directions, to be used by a passenger. I am often in the passenger seat and reading out the turns to the driver, but sometimes I get distracted and miss the turn. The sounds are distracting, but it would be helpful if the app would just buzz the phone shortly before the turns.

Use my location and 100% real gas
(1) When adding a favorite or home or work, have a "use my location" feature just in case the address is not known.

I would like to know if the road ahead of me has not had any waze drivers in the immediate past If there are no reports.
There should be a way of highlighting the map to warn of lack of recon (other waze drivers) in the previous 10 or 20 minutes for the road ahead. I would feel much more secure especially regarding police.

ETA Update
When there is a new ETA, there should be an option to 'speak' the new time so I do not have to look for the message that briefly displays.

add an option for Alternative fuel vehicles to be routed to HOV and HOT lanes since they are exempt
In the state of Georgia Alternative fuel vehicles are permanently exempt from HOV and HOT lane restrictions and as such they are a good option but waze has no way to know we electric folks are using HOV and HOT lane.

"wish list" points
Have you ever read a good article about some place, and decide to go there ... but it
s impossible to get there in short future. I was thinking to make some think like "wish list" of places where I would like to visit. Is similar to favorite places but not used so often. And the best would be the reminder that if you are riding xx (20) km form your “wish point” Waze would suggest you to visit it. I travel b bicycle a lot. And always trying to visit some interesting places about with one I wrote…6 votes -
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.

Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

Notify when an accident is reported on my current route how far away it is
When an accident is reported on my current route, report how far I currently am from that accident so I can decide if I want to take an alternate route or if I am far enough away to decide if that accident has been cleared. Is there an option to report an accident has been cleared? That would be cool too . . .

Access to view live traffic cameras where available publicly on the internet like around Pittsburgh, PA..
In many cities there are traffic cameras posted on major routes. These are available over the internet and mobile phones so drivers can see live feeds. It would be great if Waze showed those along routes or on the maps so drivers can quickly view current conditions.
We should also be able to add these to the maps through the editor and link to the published URLs of the cameras.

Voice Instructions: Bear Right, Keep Right
Voice navigation instructions use "Keep Right (Left) in 2 conditions making it a bit confusing: When on an undivided road approaching a divided section of the same road, and when approaching an intersection with a gradual right (left) turn. "Bear Right (Left)" would be a more appropriate instruction for the 2d situation.

Temporary traffic lights
Add an option to show temporary lights, option for roadworks is great but I think most people would like to know if there’s a set of temporary lights, these can add time onto busy work commutes and this can be taken into account when planning a drive. Waze is fantastic for everything else but this would take it too a new level above every other navigation app.

If there’s a road closure acknowledge it and recalculate a route
I get that you need several people to confirm theres an actual road closure but if I am the first there and I need an alternative route, it keeps sending me back to the closed road.

Permission to use a specific private road
In many places there is more than one access road, one for guests and one for residents. The entrance that is for residents only is usually marked as a private road. WAZE takes me a full circle to get around the entrance that I am allowed to use as a resident. I suggest that there should be an option to add permissions to use a particular private road.
