Waze should stop after disconnecting from car play
Waze starts automatically after connecting to carplay, but doesn’t turn off automatically after disconnecting from carplay. It should turn off automatically based on proximity to destination + carplay disconnect + optional couple minutes delay :) I think this will be a better user experience and will improve battery life of the user. I saw a few threads on reddit about this issue but without a solution.

Swap the remaining time and distance on the bottom of the display (or make remaining time optional)
I drive an electric car, so remaining distance is important for me, but when I use waze in split screen mode, only the remaining time is visible.
It would be nice if I wouldn't need to enlarge the screen when I want to see the distance to destination.4 votes -
The accuracy of the GPS location has diminished significantly. Often Waze shows me on a side road when I am still on a highway.
The accuracy of the GPS location has diminished significantly. Often Waze shows me on a side road when I am still on a highway. Please improve this functionality.
Also, often your server does not have enough capacity during rush hour and devices cannot connect to your network to get routing and road info.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to exclude a freeway or particular road from your planned route?
I already summed it up in the title, you kids are the pros.. But I would love to have more options for routes and options to avoid a freeway or major thoroughfare.
Oh and just an irrelevant side note; that American woman's navigation voice, ug I can't listen to it. She sounds like your mean teacher from middle school- but the American guy is great.

Improve car parked at location feature.
Improve car parked feature. It frequently says I'm parked when I'm still driving and I have to re program my destination.

Unblock phone sleeping when idle or parking - to preserve battery
It happened to me several times and I find it very annoying.
When I park the car waiting for someone out if I leave phone in the car when I reach my destination and I forget to turn it off, Waze will prevent the screen from turning off and will drain out my battery quickly.
My suggestion is that I'd Waze detects that I'm parking or not driving for over a minute or so, it should automatically suspend the navigation activity and enable screen shutdown and sleep until user starts driving again.6 votes -
Ability to drive most direct route through busy traffic with no bypasses to side streets, would be great for us that use motorcycles in city
I often find the sat navy avoids traffic jams/heavy traffic...and takes me to side streets .not good for riding a motorcycle through London for example, when I can go through the traffic and use the main direct path...perhaps an option to go through heavy traffic routes!
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

New destinations on the go
Hi. Add this feature needed (especially por taxi drivers). When you have a route set from Point A to Point B, be able to add a point C, and D and Etc on the go, to go after point B (not before) without changing the route that already exists. And the application show you how much time and distance it will take you to go from A to C. Contact me for a better explanation if you don't understand. To keep things short. You should be able to add a new destination to go after the one that you already…

Change Road Hazard
Under road hazard / side of road. Remove missing sign. Add Tractor/Trailer. If I am new to a area I really wouldn't know what sign is missing and if I am from the area I probably wouldn't notice it missing. We see more cars on the side of the road but the big rigs are bigger and more likely to be hanging out in traffic,

Police reporting error
For the last couple of months, when reporting police on the "Other Side", waze incorrectly places the police icon on the current side of the road and fails to notify drivers on the opposite side

Waze NEEDS "Bread Crumbs".
One thing waze should have is "Bread Crumbs". I miss this feature on my old Garmin units. It basically leaves a dotted trail behind your path so you can easily find your way back without having to enter a new destination.

Création d'une option d'alertes Covoiturage.
Bonjour, créer une option payante pour les usagers passager pour qu'il puisse faire des alertes covoiturage du même style que accident ou autres avec un petit icone du style "un pousse" avec sa destination "Eh je vais a Paris" ,chaque trajet étant payant à hauteur du nombre de kms et reverser au conducteur un pourcentage de cette somme pour la participation de ce trajet.
exemple:
Option: 2€/mois pour le WazerAutostoppeur
trajet : 0.60 ct€ le km
Mr Berber est a Cergy est veut aller a Paris (40km) 24€ le trajet
Mr Berber va donc payer 2€ + 24€ soit 50%…14 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

waze should allow you to go someplace via a chosen route, ie: i would rather take the Mario Cuome bridge than the GWB. it never lets me.
I would like to request to be able to pick the way I wish to go. lately waze keeps making me take these ridiculous back roads and side streets. I would prefer to go on major roads or straight runs. when I go upstate NY I want to go via the Mario Cuomo bridge as I hate the GWB but I have to put in MCB and then when I get there put in my actual destination. we should have options to chose how we wish to go

End route at end of closed segments
When the destination would end on a segment that is currently closed the route ends on the next closest segment (that isn't closed) which in many cases is a road in the back of the property where there's no access to the destination.
Consider ending the route at the last node that is not closed on the route - at the node the closure ends/starts.
3 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Prohibited zone alert
It would be handy to add prohibited zone notification, like you are entering a exmilitary zone which is prohibited without permission. Or have this notification alert in the planning overview.
I set my destination in this zone without knowing is prohibited and waze has no problem to lead me there.
Thanks.
Best regards

Saved places list on the left
There's a lot of free space on the left which can be used for a scrollable list of our history of destinations. This would be very practical, as for now we have to go through the menu or search the destination we want to go...
