Wait times for metered on ramps
When On ramps are metered there can develop a very long queue to enter a freeway this should be considered in route calculations, but it doesn't seem to be. The navigation has you turning on to a street that had an on ramp to a freeway that is backed up several blocks beyond where you made your turn onto the street. The result is you cannot merge into the lane that allows you access to the on ramp.

Configure highway Navigation way point alerts
Often times when driving in the highway waze does not provide a way point alert until we are very close to the waypoint. On the highway having some more advance notice (.25, .5, or 1m?) on these waypoint alerts would be really helpful in terms if safe driving.

You need another subheading in hazards
You should add "hitchhiker" under the hazard- roadside heading. I passed 3 today. One of whom was staggering along the roadside. And under hazards IN the road there should be slow driver.
I don't recall seeing that.3 votes -
the control bar is hard to work with one hand on large phones

Set location of a "Report" for where you press the Icon that displays the reports instead of setting it where you are when you select send
I like to participate in Waze to help others as they've helped me, but often don't see things to report until I'm already on top of it. (i.e. speed trap, hazard, etc.) I've found that the location based on my selection is placed far further on the map from the actual occurrence by time I select the remaining options and hit "Send". As the last thing I want to be doing while traffic is maneuvering and breaking is seeing which additional selections need to be made to make sure I select correctly, it would be nice if selecting the "Report"…

Don't inundate me with popups on startup. . . EVER
I'm happy for you that you're updating your app, but PLEASE STOP throwing popups at me when I start the app afterward. That will only do three things: 1. Piss me off. 2. Endanger my safety and the safety of others during the most dangerous time of driving (pulling out of a parking spot/driveway) with the distractions. 3. Ensure that I never actually see the information you're trying to get me to see.
Please. Use common sense. Don't do this.

Option to say "not here" for traffic and construction.
Wake feed alerts seem to be old and inaccurate with no way to clear or report completed. Allow drives to vote construction and traffic reports off the map

more traffic options
You should add the ability to report light traffic, such as when you're somewhere that's abnormally uncongested.

How about moving the "add friends" icon so that it doesn't cover the speedometer display?
Either move the add friends icon to another part of the display, or make it an option to shut it off. Covering the speedometer makes it totally useless.

Add a report feature for disaster reporting so emergency responders have real time info
In today's Napa earthquake, it took many hours for emergency responders to collect, report and analyze data, do triage, etc. let the crowd report details of disaster events (type, severity, help requested, etc) and generate dashboards for emergency responders to see a summary and details of the data

Bluetooth power saving causes voice to be cut. Play custom sound file before.
Some phones and car radios have a power saving feature that mutes sound if no sound is played. Then, if a voice directive comes, it SHOULD be:
"in 100 meters, turn left"
but it IS:
"ers, turn left"So an option to let the user play a custom sound file befor every directive would be useful:
"[BING] ... in 100 meters, turn left."3 votesThanks for reaching out.

Tips: please customize hazard icons. i.e. rain = cloud w/ drops, constr. = hard hat, car stop = flat tire... Easy to read when driving.
Please customize hazard icons. i.e. rain = cloud w/ drops, construction= hard hat, car stopped = flat tire...etc. This will be easy to read when driving and will make a fun drive!!!

Please remove the daily limit on alerts.
Daily limit on map alerts for police and vehicles on shoulder is WAY too low. Please raise the limit. On a long trip of 600 miles i passed through major cities and the amount of alerts goes up of course. This limit should be related to the WAZE score for the user. The higher the points, the more alerts per day you can send.

Forward road-hazard reports to Highway Patrol
Sometimes I see the same dangerous road hazards day after day and I think local authorities would take care of it if Waze could only pass on the report (if only reports with a lot of "confirmations" from other Waze users).
