use HN waze interpolation instead of google
We have several huge streets that make it difficult to place the house numbers, so I prefer to use interpolation by placing the house numbers in some meter intervals, but this change is usually not reflected because Waze prioritizes Google's interpolation over Waze's own data.
My suggestion is: Use Waze's interpolation when: The number is not mapped (there is no linked residential location and no house number) and there is a number greater than and less than the number searched for entered by an editor (not the automatic imported one)
Example:

EMERGENCY FIRE RESPONSE ASSISTANCE
Hi Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature called “Emergency Fire Response Assistance” to help firefighters reach fire incidents faster and improve traffic flow around emergency scenes.
This feature could allow authorized responders to tag a “Fire Incident Zone” with the exact address, providing quick routes that avoid traffic and obstacles. Nearby users would get alerts to take alternative routes, helping clear the way for responders.
Additionally, dispatch centers could send real-time updates to firefighters (like building entry points or obstacles) for more precise navigation. Once an incident is resolved, responders could mark the area as “clear,” lifting any…

YIDDISH for WAZE
Few years ago I have created Yiddish voice for WAZE. Hundreds of Jewish people in Israel, USA, Holland and GB are hearing my voice of Yiddish. But it is a local version, and I have to send it each one, that asks me. I would like to include my two versions (one for metric system and another for miles) of Yiddish sound in your original vesrsion, so it will be a part of the language pack. I don’t ask for any money, just to make the Yiddish language a leagal part of the best navigator.

Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match mobifone navigation…6 votes -
WME is trying to merge 2 pois that have the same name but different address
In the editor, it is sometimes necessary to create 2 pois with a distance between them of 50 meters or less. These pois have the same name but different addresses. When saving, the editor tries to merge the pois. It is necessary to check for attempts to merge not only the poi name, but also its address. If the addresses of the pois are different, then these are different pois, and not an attempt to create a duplicate.

App closure after Apple CarPlay shutdown
Please fix the app so it automatically closes after the car shuts off with Apple CarPlay. It used to do this until about 6-12 months ago. It’s annoying that Waze stays running when you get out of your car, draining your phone battery.

HOV Lane Exit Notifications at Every HOV exit
When using a route with an HOV Lane, Waze defaults to telling the driver to exit the HOV Lane at every HOV Lane Exit on the route, even though the HOV Lane is available on the entire route.
The driver should only be alerted to exit the HOV Lane if it's the exit they need to take because there is no HOV off-ramp, or there is an issue in the HOV Lane ahead of them.The exit notifications have caused me to miss a freeway transition roads since Waze doesn't want anyone using the HOV Lanes.
An example, Waze will…6 votes -
Road closures
I'm a traffic flagger for a utility company. When I need to close a road, i can't do it unless I'm at the nearest intersection. How do I do this without being at that intersection, which may be a long distance from my work site.
Also, how can I open a road I've closed? Seems the next wazer has to open it; that's mot fair to other drivers. How can I open a road ive closed?6 votes -

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.

Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are. However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads
Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are.
However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads or entering the size of vehicle. We occasionally tow a 7.5m caravan and last week when Waze re directed us due to heavy traffic we found ourselves in very narrow lanes with the caravan in tow - very stressful. A warning stating route unsuitable for large vehicles might even suffice?
Please can you consider this as an update.
Many thanks

Avoid traffic jams.
I often travel with 3 kids on long road trips. Always rather be moving than standing in place with screaming kids and I am SURE a lot of people would agree. I recently had a trip take 10+ hours instead of the original 7 because of completely predictable and avoidable traffic jams on highways. Clearly not there in the middle of the night when I depart but jams there every day since they are because of ongoing construction work on a lane. I kind of assumed waze already tried to help you avoid these but I guess I was wrong.…

Aviso Radar fijo
Cuando te aproximas a un radar fijo, Waze sólo te avisa por voz (en el mapa siempre aparece) del radar si en ek momento que tiene que dar la alerta estás circulando a más velocidad de la permitida.
Puede darse el caso de que circules a menos velocidad, entonces el aviso no suene con voz sino solo visualmente en el mapa y en el tramo entre el aviso y el radar aumentes la velocidad y no te haya salido ninguna alerta por voz del radar.
Debería avisar por voz siempre, aunque circules por debajo del límite, salvo que lo desactives…6 votes
