Vehicle icons too big
Car icons way too large since recent update. Makes it extremely difficult to see roads and the general map. Nobody asked for extra large vehicle icons that look so cartoonish...please revert back!

Alternate route display should follow the setting for "Keep map north up"
If "Keep map north up" is off then alternate routes should be displayed with my position at the bottom of the screen.
This will make it easier to visualise alternate routes relative to my current position.
Also applies to the app but I'm only able to select one category.

Danger Zone
Cameras are placed in known danger zones.
Usually the danger is within 100m either side of the camera.
Sometimes it is not allowed to plot cameras.
But a general warning - danger zone in 200m - would be useful.3 votes -
Ignore Traffic Option for Real Time Road Closures
For Real Time Road Closures, please add the option to "Ignore segment traffic". Currently if there is any traffic detected on a Closed segment, the Closure will be put into Suspend mode. This can be problematic since some Waze users choose to ignore a closure, because they can't "see" any backed up traffic due to the closure, and will cause the closure to be paused until enough traffic has been stopped behind the closure and the segment detects no more movement. By then the closure should have been in place warning Waze users well ahead of time to find an…

Screensaver
In Ontario/Canada as per Highway & Traffic Act, it is illegal to use smartphone/device without hands free operation, and police have stated that submitting status info on apps such as Waze is illegal as per Act and grounds for ticket for not driving “hands free”. Fine for doing so (and using Waze) and distracted driving is currently over $600-800 and 3’demerit points.
Of course I observe police cruisers driving with hands on computer console violating traffic act.
It would be great to have a screensaver (blank screen or other) that could be quickly toggled on Waze display (phone and/or CarPlay)…

Cars with caravans
Could you do routes for cars and caravans. This should take into account the extra width and the difficulty in reversing along country lanes if you meet an oncoming vehicle

Remove or change the inbuilt browser in the App
Inbuilt browser in the application does not comply with the ‘family safety’ settings set for browsers and search engines on the phone. For example, adult content can be accessed via google through the Waze inbuilt browser by accessing googles website within it.

Improvement in the application
I loved the app. Beyond that, I would like to focus on improving or adding features like chatting with other Waze users so that they can notify each other in a separate section when there are problems downloading maps for when they are offline in different places, being able to post real profile pictures of the same users, drivers or runners, inform about the weather in the area, after all, good. I really liked this app 5 stars.

Minions Theme Breaks Landscape Mode on Android.
When I switched to the minion theme, the map would no longer switch to landscape mode on my Android phone. I deleted all data and restarted waze, and landscape worked again. I loaded the minion theme again and Landscape broke again.

Enable voice alert when approaching speed bumps
Hello Waze Team,
It would be so helpful for all Wazers to receive Voice alerts when approaching a speed bump so that we can prepare ourselves to slow down before approaching the speed bumps, as actually speed bumps has been added but it does not appear or notify you via voice alert that we are nearing a speed bump.
Grateful to look into adding voice alert when approaching speed bumps.
Thank you,
Kushal

Add Voice Typing to the main screen. Google Assistant just does not work for searching, VT is much more better.
Add Waze's Voice Typing to the main screen for searching locations. Google Assistant just does not work for non-english city names. Sometimes you cannot even translate them. Voice Typing is much more better.

Disallowing drivers to collect points
Do not allow drivers to collect points while driving. I see it as accident hazard. Please care about passenger safety.

More kid friendly voices. Eg lightning McQueen or Mater
My son loves the special voices but there isn’t many kids ones. I was thinking lightning McQueen or Mater would be cool and funny

Stoplights on map
You need to have stoplights on the map when. Giving directions. I know Apple Maps has it. It helps when coming to a turn but there is a light before it. It’s more precise.

Action icons on left in CarPlay (US) so driver doesn’t need to reach across
Put the action icons on the left (in countries where cars are on right of road) when displaying in CarPlay so the driver does not need to reach across to use them. Notifications should appear on right instead of left.
47 votesThanks for your feedback and apologies for any confusion. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Street name below the location icon.
It is a serious flaw that Waze does not show the street name below the navigation icon. This is only displayed when the "go to" navigation is activated. In common use, the street name is never displayed and this makes it very difficult for the user to know which street they are traveling on or if they are in the right place. Waze needs to fix this. Another tip is that when we are traveling on a road, Waze should indicate the city we are passing through. This is also very important for better localization and a better user experience.

Speedometer size in Landscape mode
Please enlarge the speedometer in LANDSCAPE MODE [portrait is fine] and preferably make it movable. Barring 'movable' just enlarge it. Got a bit older you see [not 20 any more] - it would be very useful if I can see it properly - double the size would be good [or custom] :) TY (y)

Mensaje de gracias bloqueado
Deberían revisar la app. Durante la conducción, si informó de un peligro en carretera, el mensaje posterior de "Gracias" NO DESAPARECE. Este mensaje oculta la información de tiempo y distancia a destino, y bloquea la app.

Peanuts voice
Those who are peanuts by Schultz fans and snoopyholics such as myself, would appreciate the peanuts gang voices as navigation such as Charlie Brown, Linus & lucy, Schroeder maybe even patty mayonnaise. This would be great For adults and kids, considering the fact that peanuts have had several movies in all different seasons Easter summer and all the others, it will be a real great idea.
