Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Support for iOS 11 DND while driving feature
iOS 11 which is being released tonight, supports do not disturb while driving. This means that if you text me whilst driving, rather than being distracted with a text message, my phone will text the person back informing them that I will see the message once I have reached my destination. The person can still call me of course.
This feature works with Apple Maps, but doesn’t work with Waze. Not sure why. Can you make Waze work with it?

Calculating Meeting points
It would be great that if Waze can help the customers to advise a meeting place for people who are trying to carpool.
Basically, its taking 3 routes, if there are two participants are trying to get from their places to the same destination. .
1. Person 1's route from place A to place B.
2. Person 2's route from place C to place B.Then, Waze can calculate the most close meeting points fro Person 1 and Person 2 to meet and get to place B.

Share route and location with friends.
Give an option to share not only your route but also your location on that route with your friends. This would be a safety feature. In the event that you don't make it to your destination, your friend could see your location. This idea is inspired by the loss of a fellow student who was in a one vehicle accident on her way home to visit for the weekend. Her car ended up under a bridge and she was not found for three days. With a safety feature that allows sharing of your actual location as you follow your…

Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help driver to avoid forbidden streets
Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help the driver to avoid forbidden streets. In urban areas in the Nordic countries it is becoming more common that local politicians forbid driving cars with winter tires with studs on some streets with high pollution. When creating a route to a destination, Waze do not take into account that some of the streets may be restricted due to this. This is becoming a problem since the driver need to be a local to know where not to drive. Signs showing the restriction are always present but will be noticed…

Longer information
Please also add that the full destination information should stay visible on the screen even after you reach the destination. Right now, the second it says ‘Destination reached,’ everything disappears and you have to grab your phone or papers again — or go back into the history — just to double-check the exact house number. It’s really annoying

Prepositions in English
In English, a destination is never "in" your left/right. It is "on" your left/right. Likewise, you make turns "on" XYZ Street, not "in." Please fix the prepositions in (at least) English (US) (Jane).

Route Tracking Recorder Functionality
Implement a RTR(Route Tracking Recorder) Functionality.
Say you have this path you like to do every now and then. Activate the RTR and drive until your destination, once there, deactivate RTR. Done! Waze has recorded that route you just drove and saved it.
Ok... what now? Well, you can:1) Use it once again;
OR (where it really shines :)
2) share it to a friend, so that person will know that special route you did to save time from traffic.
Had this idea after a colleague had to follow me until certain point of my daily route to…

Place of origin and departure time in planned drive
Hi waze! I always use your planned drive. The problem is, after I make a planned drive, I can't see the place of origin and departure time in planned drives' list. Only destination and arrival time are shown in the list. We're having hard time putting it in our record.

Show an arrow and waze can tell us that the destination is at our left or at our right
Hi it would be nice if Waze can show and arrow and tell us that the destinstion is at our left or at our right
And also if you can add a button to tag car bumps so we can choose afterward to not go to roads that have car bumps

"Stop running in the background" switch on iOS
Hi. I found that Waze continues to run and use GPS and 3G signal while backgrounded on the iPhone. This is catastrophic in our country for two reasons: 1. It keeps the phone very hot. 2. it uses data at about 0.15 USD/MB, thereby ticking down your data and using up your money. You have to explicitly turn it off or explicitly quit the app. There should be a switch that says, and is by default, set to "Do not run or use data or GPS in the background". My experience: I used Waze to get to a destination.…

User-intuitive multi-stop route for a leave later time
I find it very difficult to set multi-stops on way to one destination, because I have to look up how to do it online everytime. It is not intuitive, is not marked, and you just have to know the "secret" of tapping on the arrival time to THEN add another stop. That makes no sense. And then, if I need to arrive at the final destination at a certain time, I can't set it up with the multi-stop to know when to leave to make those stops and arrive at the destination on time.

time zone temp fix
If it's too difficult to have Waze team fix the time zone issue, how about Waze telling the user the destination crosses a diff time zone and to display a warning that they should manually set the time zone on their phone to the actual destination time zone to prevent confusions/issues. That way, Waze won't adjust when crossing the zone and destination will display ETA correctly for the whole trip. At arrival, another warning could be to remind the user to set his time zone on phone back to "automatic".

Customized pre-departure planned drive times
I’d like a setting option to be able to customize the amount of time (in minutes) before my planned drive alerts me to leave for my destination. Typically I like to arrive at least 15 minutes to my destination before my scheduled meeting time, to allow for extra preparation time or traffic considerations.

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel…
