Indicate open lanes at a crash
When ppl indicate a crash let them indicate which lanes are kept open, it will let drivers safely move to the correct lane farther back, alleviating lanes changes close to the crash (in thicker traffic). It will also give more incentive for ppl to use Waze.

Ambulance/Fire/Armed Police Blocking Road
I don’t understand why roadworks get precedence over emergencies. So many emergencies such as ambulances, firetrucks and even police cars regularly close or block roads temporarily causing extreme traffic jams so there should be an option to warn Wazers so they can opt to take a different route. I live in a city centre (Birmingham) where I am faced routinely with a blocked road due to an emergency such as an overturned car, a person trapped in a car, cars on fire, house fires, standoff situations with police because somebody is held up in a property with a gun or knife; or a general medical emergency where Police have closed the road - so an ambulance, specialist police armed team or firetruck can deal with the situation. Wazers should know so they can decide to take a different route.

Better lane guidance
Better lane guidance would be a big help. I’m coming from Google Maps. I would get notified at more than a mile when to get into a lane before a turn and how far over I need to be. So 1 mile to 2 miles out would be good especially on the expressway when traveling at higher rates of speed. If the notification became more frequent the closer you got to An exit or to a turn that would be a help as well

Show which side of the street the location is on when you turn onto it
I would love for Waze to show which side of the street the location is on when you turn onto the final street. This would be especially helpful when there are two lanes to the road and you need to know which lane to be in.

Bring back searching on saved first
Bring back the feature that when you start typing a place on the search bar, the app would first try to find the place in your saved places. For example, I have my friend William's place saved as "William". If I start typing the letter W, the app would automatically bring as the first suggestion, "William". Now it doesn't and it slow me down a lot...

Incluir en la pantalla principal.
Me gustaría que se pudiera mostrar en la pantalla principal, como se hace con la hora y el tipo de conexión en el ángulo inferior derecho, la temperatura, la altitud y la dirección del viento. Y también los puntos de recarga para autos eléctricos en el trayecto establecido. Gracias.

Speed in School Zone is 30 km
If the App gives a warning of school zone coming up in 50 meters, it will be very helpful for the driver to slow down well in advance. In the school zone, if someone is speeding the map should show a bigger warning & may be talk to the driver about cameras giving tickets.
Help us be better drivers!

LOST OF RECORDING VOICE
I lost the voce recording of my son who made 7 years ago. Waze carried out an update, I shared the voice with another person so as not to lose it, the other person received the voice, put it to work and when I deleted it from my cell phone to try to make it work again on my device it no longer appeared. Even with this sharing link I lost it. An irreparable loss as we have been using this recording all the time for seven years.
My suggestion is that you store the voice in the account. Make this link between the recordings and the account. That's why we have the account. There should be an automatic backup. From the moment of Login, the voice should be available to be downloaded.
Now we no longer have this voice that was very important to everyone here. It was a life story.
Thanks

Display addresses (street + house number) according to regional settings
The app assumes wrongly all countries display addresses like Americans do, like first the house number and then the street number, but in fact most Western countries use it the other way around:
Street name + house number
It seems Waze is American-centred as there is strangely enough after all these years no option to simply adhere to the local customs a country has.

Hospital as a Category
Hello! It occurred to me today as I tried to find the quickest route to the nearest emergency room that Waze might want to think about dropping “Drive-thru” from the category screen in favor of “Hospital.” At the very least, maybe users could be given the option to create their own categories?

New Alternate Routes requires too much attention
Firstly, I was unable to find the alternate routes option the first time I used the latest update. The screen was unfamiliar, and in the moment, while driving, it’s not a great time to discover new design choices. I would have appreciated an in-app notification or walkthrough showing the update before embarking on my drive.
Secondly, I’m not yet a fan of the redesign. The x-minutes slower/faster is a bit cumbersome, requiring that I do mental math to determine when I’ll arrive based on the route option.
Third, needing to swipe across the screen to see the detailed info requires a lot of interaction and attention, especially while on the road. I have appreciated seeing the info from all potential routes on a single screen, so I can very quickly compare with only a glance.
In summary, 1) please provide education on updates where we may have developed habits and muscle memory. 2) Give us the answer, don’t make us do mental math. 3) remove as much interaction from the design when user is likely driving. “At a glance” should be a fundamental design principle.
