Toll and HOV passes should NOT be mandatory!
I found out, that of you ommit to MANUALLY add Vignette/Toll pass/HOV pass, your navigation will be put into "Avoid highways" mode. It is a bit frustrating for all who travel a lot abroad to manually add highway passes/Vignettes for each and every highway portion we intend to drive.
My suggestion is Waze should INFORM you for needed Vignette, and you should be able to either IGNORE this (still navigating higways) or to simply (one -click) ADD needed vignette to list of passes you own. That way it would be unser-friendly. For now, when process is manual and…3 votes -
Treat roads with RTC as routable pedestrian path
Right now, when trying to route to a destination on a closed road, it's pretty much like the road no longer exists and Waze will route to the nearest open road.
Sometimes, this means that users will be routed somewhere completely different, like to the middle of a highway, to the other side of a raildroad track into a completely different neighbourhood, etc.
Segments with RTCs on them should be treated as a routable pedestrian path: route the driver to the closest entry point.

Bug in when driving using Navigate adjusting "Avoid Highways and Tolls"
I think that if I am using the Navigate, but then decide to turn on or off the Navigation settings (Settings > Navigation) "Avoid Toll Roads & Avoid Major Highways, it should address this when it refreshes your route, but it does not. I have to completely Stop navigation and restart.

The road speed is too small, the speed I am going is less important as you can see this already in your vehicle,
Please swap the vehicle speed as that’s bigger & less important with the road speed
I have to keep swapping to google maps to check road speed as Waze too small

Move the "Vehicule on shoulder of the road" reporting icon direct on the first page"
Since 90% of the reporting are 'Vehicule on shoulder of the road", why not move it straight on the first page of the reporting procedure. It would cut the number of clicks by 3 ! (Danger/Side road/vehicule stand still)

Display number of Waze users ahead of you on the same road.
This will give the Waze user an indication on the quality of the time sensitive Police/Crash/Hazard/Camera information.
It gives me a comfortable feeling when there are no reports on my current road and I see that there are 5 users ahead of me.
In this image you can see they already do it in the flitsmeister.nl app: https://photos.app.goo.gl/X293cQGSuz4VNxxe83 votes -
Avoid stop signs! Sometimes is faster the paraller road, because it has a few stops signs!!
I know that waze finds the fastest route, but sometime that street has a lot of Stop signs, and the parallel street doesnt have any, so is faster!! Maybe for a future you could add the stop signs to the maps!! For you to take note: In Costa Rica there isn't 4 stop ways or 3 stop way, in an intersection, here there is always a road who has the way, and the other has the stop sign. Srry for my english, isnt my native language!!

Preferred Roads
Preferred Roads would allow a user to specify a list of roads they are more familiar with and prefer to take where possible, whether manually, or automatically through repetitive driving habits.
If a new route might save me 2 mins I don't care. I would still prefer to use my most familiar roads. If there is an accident and I should avoid to save 10 mins, then it could utilize less familiar roads.
Along the same lines, another collection of roads could be considered roads to avoid. This is different to avoiding Toll road…

Enhance Route Planning with Flexible Toll/Vignette Options and Reminder Features
Introducing customizable toll and vignette options, along with reminder settings for expirations and automatic removal of expired passes, would greatly improve user satisfaction and navigation accuracy.
Many countries offer various toll and vignette options based on different time durations (e.g., 1 day, 10 days, 1 month). By allowing users to select these flexible options in Waze, navigation would cater to their specific travel plans, preventing unnecessary detours away from toll roads or vignettes.
Additionally, incorporating a reminder feature would enable users to set alerts for upcoming toll and vignette expirations (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 7 days in advance).…

Directions should use only actual destination, not full road sign text
Sometimes a road sign lists two different destinations. Waze reads the whole content of the sign and not just my destination. This makes me unsure if I'm on the right route.

Rideshare Pickup and Dropoff on Right Side of Road
I use Waze for rideshare, and would be great to have an option in taxi mode to be routed where I drop off or pick up a passenger on the right side of the road. This would be a good option as long as it doesn’t take me too far out of the way. I guess in some countries the left side may be preferred.

Add ERP timing into Singapore Map
It will be better if routing can include erp/toll timing automatically. if user set to avoid erp/toll, but the timing of specific erp/toll is already over, then there is no need to avoid that route! So in this sense, route calculated from point A to point B will include erp/toll if the erp/toll on that route is already off, and it's calculated based on shortest road. If it's not, then will continue to navigate from A to B using the avoid erp/toll options automatically.

Vehicle and road type selection
I own car and motorcycle. I can only select one vehicle. While in car I don't want to go through unpaved roads. But while on my bike I'd love to be sent to my destination over unpaved roads. If there was a way to select 2 vehicles and customize the route for each. That would be a cherry on the cake. Then when starting a GPS guidance you could choose weather to use a car or bike route.

Add common objects to Hazard:Road
To reduce the possibility of the user becoming a potential road hazard, update the Report:Hazard:Road option with a submenu so that we don't have to type out what's in the middle of the road. There is already an option to report cars stopped on the shoulder, but none to report cars stopped in lane, or tire treads, or deceased animals.
It doesn't need to be fancy, just something so that we don't need to type, unless it's something really unusual.

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

Require less reports of dangerous road hazards like potholes that would damage vehicles before they’re visible to others
I lost a tyre to a large pothole on an unlit road. Such dangerous road conditions shouldn’t need a lot of reports before they’re seen by other Waze users.
