Hello. I think it would be good to have full functionally on Apple car play. It is rather when a road is closed you have to pull over. Unpll
There needs to be more functionality with Apple car play. It is very annoying when there is a closed road and I can’t get waze to re route without stopping. Pulling over, unplugging my phone and then reporting the road closed. I have also had a couple of annoying times where I have been unable to pave without having to jump through the same hoops.

Multiple Road Toggle
For areas with multiple levels (e.g. express way on top of a regular highway) or multiple parallel roads (e.g. regular highway and express way next to each other), there should be an option to configure which one you are actually on since sometimes Waze gives you directions that don't match up like telling you to take a turn when you're in an elevated part and not approaching an exit or telling you that it will take 5 minutes instead of the actual 30 because it thinks you're in an express way.

Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic
Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic. There should be just one quick button which only says blocked and is used when the road that WAZE recommended was not taken because it was blocked. Currently a four way intersection has four choices on which part is blocked but you cannot stop in the middle of a busy intersection to tell WAZE which of the four roads is blocked. Past the intersection, it is difficult to enter this data into WAZE while still driving. A single blocked button will let WAZE figure out which recommended road was not taken.

Allow local Emergency Management Agency direct entry of road information.
Allow local Emergency Management and/or 911 to have a direct entry of information of road closures through a secure dedicated link from their mobile MDT, desktop computer, and Computer Aided Dispatch desk or cell connected device. As a Local (County) Emergency Management Agency, we feel this would be a great safety benefit for both the traveling public and Emergency Responders.

Request for the road names not to block the street or route you’re going on. It’s very hard to see the route with the signs blocking them.

A "heatmap" showing roads you have previously driven on and how often similar to Stravas "Personal Heatmaps"
A map showing roads you have previously driven on and how much, the more used the road is the "hotter" it appears on the map. Then you can boast to your mates about how much of your town/county/country you have driven around!

Allow users to post information about road closures and hazards in their area, whether driving on the route or not.
I would like to be able to reject one of the suggested routes, if I know that the road is closed, for instance, and have Waze offer another suggestion.
I would also like to be able to suggest an alternate route by entering a road or tapping the map, and have Waze give me the ETA and traffic information along that route.2 votes -
entering problems on the road backwards
Good day.
It has happened to me several times, and I believe I will not be the only one, that I drove past a place on the road where there was a traffic accident or obstacle and I wanted to enter it into Waze navigation, but it cannot be done backwards. Only in the place where I am. I think it would be good to be able to enter a problem on the road retroactively. Thank you.Dobrý den.

where there are roadworks, it is not possible to state that the road is closed.
can add that there are roadworks, but not that road is closed, therefore navigation still says to use the road, then you find road closed and have to back track a mile or two to find a new route.

Add Shortcut to "Vehicle Stopped On Side of Road"
I found a post from 2016 asking for this and it still hasn't been implemented!
There should be a shortcut on the navigation screen to send a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder" report with a single click.
This is, by far, the most common type of report and it currently requires FIVE button presses - all of them while looking down at the screen. A user-configurable single-click report button would be even better, but a "Vehicle Stopped On Shoulder" button would be a massive improvement to the current 5-clicks.
This has been suggested many, many times over the past many years,…

Hello waze team here is abe writing a suggestion.
Problem: many road bifurcations, or multiple ramification roads specially in obtuse angle + between primary and secondary non clear small roads bring about navigation mistakes.solution: upon getting near the critical point of deviation Please make an automatic zoom ( 80M radius) to the relevant area and also insert blinking / intermittent dots to all existing ramification points ( green Dot for the correct lane to follow and black dots for all non relevant existing deviation roads. this way the driver visualize the correct direction in the road…

Android Auto improvements - Ease of typing in locations via screen or phone, updating road conditions, etc.
Typing in Locations on the screen of the car (11.6 inch) is cumbersome, and sometimes it switches to the phone then says to type in the car's screen again. Why don't you just allow to use the phone all the time to type?
Providing road updates needs to be better, the small little bubble on the lower right corner is hard to press, maybe a voice activated function would help or place it on the left side and make it bigger?
Screen directions become smaller when a prompt pops up requesting a road incident update. This should not be prioritized…

Option to mark breakers on the road without Signboard. Such breakers can be dangerous at night.
In India, there are a lot of dangerous breakers without any signboards to warn the road-users. Such breakers can be very dangerous while driving at night.
It would be very helpful to be able to mark such breakers on the road, just like potholes and I am sure it will increase Waze usage in India.

Road interdiction in Car Play and Android Auto
This week I came across a detour due to a closure of a road that was under repairs.
I looked for the option in Car Play and couldn't find it.It is impossible to drive through an unexpected situation of changing routes, diverting through a place that you are still trying to understand while disconnecting the device from the car to look for the interdiction option.
Concern increases as we are on the verge of events when the number of closures increases significantly.
Please add the option to Car Play and Android Auto.

Need way to edit one lane bridge, due to long term construction, causes two way traffic to wait, traffic lights on ramps and road
Need way to edit/show one lane bridge, especially due to long term construction. Current situation causes two way traffic to wait while traffic lights on ramps and road cycle to allow only one ramp or roadway lane to proceed at a time from any direction.
No existing Waze edit function to mark local bridge that is under repairs and causing traffic delays. How can we show detour? All traffic is now funneled through one lane on bridge one traffic direction/lane at a time. No edit function to indicate this to warn drivers to avoid bridge, at least not for…
