Display address you're navigating to when you get near your destination
Often times I get close to my destination and I don't remember the exact house number I'm looking for. It would be nice if when Waze prompts that you're nearing your destination, that it would display the address you put in to navigate to so you can look for the house number as you get close to your destination.

Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!
Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!

Accident alert
If something happened to a driver and it was an accident, Waze should detect the drastic "Stop" of the driver and after that if in th next 5-10 second no movements are done, should pop up a message asking the driver if he was in an accident, if the driver doesn't answer in 20-25 second, the "Alert" should appear on the map alerting the near user of Waze. What do you think?

Avoid a specific road
I've seen a number of posts regarding this, and myself have wanted this on various occasions for a number of different reasons. The alternatives (avoid highway, avoid toll, avoid dirt) are useful in many cases, but there are also many cases where they simply don't serve the actual need.
For example, this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/comments/6vfd6m/canistopwazefromreroutingorselecta/) is from a user that wants to specifically avoid the Capital Beltway (I-495). Not because it's a highway, and not because of a perceived inability for Waze to determine traffic, but just as a personal preference. As another example, sometimes when driving through D.C. or Baltimore, I find myself wanting to avoid certain local roads at night time, specifically ones where the street lights are not working. There are many personal preference reasons one might have to want to avoid a specific road! And hearing things like "you can use this other option" is usually not helpful, because the asker of the question has already explored the menu and found those options!
There are a couple ways this could be presented to the user. In the settings menu, I could see a list of roads you want to avoid, and a button to add a road, which takes you to the map, possible with a search option. Maybe when navigating the map normally, one of the things a long-press gets you is the ability to mark a road to avoid. Maybe when you are presented with a list of directions, you can swipe away a turn to indicate you don't want to go onto that road, and you're then asked "this trip only / this and all future trips?"
This is getting long-winded. It suffices to say I've thought about this a lot and would like to see this feature. Thanks for reading.

Waze only friends
Hello, I would like to be able to make friends with Wazers without having them also be facebook friends. To me they are seperate applications and do not want to mix them. Eg. work aquaintainces who I don't necessarially want to facebook friend them but use Waze. Also I have "real" friends who refuse to use facebook but I want to have them use Waze and friend them that way.

Count TURNS, not distance to the next turn
when people give directions to each other, naturally they will say 'on the 2nd turn, take a right turn'.
We are better at counting turns, than meters or miles...
if Waze could do the same, instead of 'in 500m turn right', it would be great417 votes -
To mark street - Kids are playing
Dear Waze Maps,
My friends and I have come across a problem. This problem is kids playing on a community road/street. This presents a risk to kids , drivers , and property. For example , a kid who is playing on the road could get injured by a car hitting him/her. The car could also swerve and hit another car , injuring the driver and/or car. Another possibility is for the car to hit property like : signs , decorations , houses , or light posts.
A person who is familiar with the road usually doesn't use Waze maps , but is familiar with the roads with kids playing and ones without. An unfamiliar person usually uses Waze maps and doesn’t know which roads kids play on and which roads kids don’t play on. This means unfamiliar people who use Waze maps are more likely to have an accident.
Since unfamiliar people use Waze maps , we propose to add a verbal and visual warning of kids at play. People can add warning for roads as they do with slow downs or objects on the road. Then other’s cars who come on the road will be warned by the verbal voice and a visual aid on the maps.
In conclusion , we propose a visual and verbal warning in the app Waze Maps for children at play. This can help prevent child, car, and property damage and/or injury. Thank you and have a nice day.
Sincerely
Priyanshu , Yash , Pranav , Ashrith , and Nithin

Open up Waze Carpool for Trinidad and Tobago to reduce Traffic
Big benefits to bring Carpool to Trinidad and Tobago to:-
-- reduce the number of cars on the road during rush hour traffic (5am-9am) & (3pm-7pm). It is grid-lock at these times and can take up to 3 hours to get into and out of the capital (Port of Spain)
-- car ownership is prohibitively expensive
-- public transportation is risky
-- public transportation is unreliable
-- be environmentally conscious to the earth by being more economical moving peopleHelp our little paradise to become better and more responsible. Help to bring Waze Carpool to Trinidad and Tobago

Can you add a trip summary button to show how long trip took. I enjoy that feature on my regular gps so I can see how long it took each day to get home from work for example.

Average Speed / ANPR Camera Reporting
As well as normal Gatso type speed cameras, increasingly automatic number plate recognition / average speed cameras are used in the uk. Being able to report them & their speed limit, and having a notification that you're within the average limit would be priceless.

Recurring Weekly Planned Drive
Have the ability set a planned drive to repeat every day, weekly. With a starting date and til a set date or never to expire.
I go to work every morning at the same time, to the same place and there is a bunch of traffic: is a pain to have to set up this great feature every week387 votes -
"Open in Waze" - modify the Waze code so a user can click and hold on an address and be given the option to "Open in Waze" for navigation.
"Open in Waze" (or "Navigate to in Waze") would merely allow the user to click and hold on an address in their phone and be given the option to open the address within Waze itself.
A user currently can open an attachment in an email in numerous different downloadable programs. The same is true for address which currently default to the Maps app. It would be nice to see the same integration with Waze.
Then, whenever a person receives a text, email, or other message with an address within it, the user would be able to click and hold on that address and select the option to "Open in Waze". From there Waze would either display that address with the option to navigate to said address, or would begin navigation automatically. Either way, it would be one more step towards making Waze even easier to use for entering destinations.

Alphabetize favorites
It is so hard to find a favorite address that you have saved and would be great if they were in alphabetical order.
