motorcycle wazers
Many wazers ride motorcycles. Myself included. One problem I run in to is that sometimes I don't know if waze is still running since it can be turned off in pocket accidently and so on. It would be cool if there was a motorcycle setting that a person could activate that would tell the waze voice to check in with the rider by saying that they are still on the proper heading.
12 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Option for reporting closed roads in map editor with start and end time
During big events many roads can be closed. It would be great if map editors (maybe only lvl2+) could report this directly in the map editor with a given start time and end time.

Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped
If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!
12 votesFixed in version 2.2 and onwards

Add fuel station and prices to CarPlay/Android Auto interface.
You can already access favourites and search for addresses, but it would be great to access a list of nearby fuel stations and their prices (fuel type and search radius in settings).
Some sample mock ups:

A voice for parents that reminds them to take the kid out
Every year we have several cases of kids who are forgotten in the car. Add a voice that is just like the normal one, only after saying "you have arrived" it reminds you to make sure no one is left in the car.
It can also be another notification recorded in all voices and if you mark you are a parent, it will be added after each ride.11 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already includes a Child in Car reminder. To enable it, go to Settings > Reminders > Child in Car reminder

Mute specific warnings
Give us the option is settings to choose what we want to be warned about and what we don't consider as important. Example: many people don't care as much about a vehicle stopped on shoulder, or a traffic light camera, but still want to know about police and accidents. A simple list where we toggle these options would be great.

Smarter Auto-Zoom!
How about a additional Auto-zoom mode that always keeps the zoom to a level that you can see the whole remaining route? And it would be really smart if this smart auto-zoom would zoom closer at any maneuver point so you know where to go in detail and go back to route-focus after the maneuver.

toll booth alert off switch
Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert
99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.
10 votesGreat news! The option to turn off toll booths alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.
