Reporting hazards with Siri using Apple CarPlay and Waze
Waze has possibility to use Siri shortcuts to navigate home, work or other destinations, as well as setting level of notifications. Please add possibility to report hazards like police, stopped vehicle on the road, road works, traffic etc. Using Siri, this would increase safety dramatically as a driver would not need to touch the screen for that multiple times.

I15 Fastrak - HOV Only
An option for Carpool Lanes that let you pay if single vehicle that shows if it is only HOV allowed. Example California I15 Fastrak you can pay and use the lane (with appropriate transponder) however, if it is marked HOV only then you are not allowed to use the lane unless 2+ however, by the time you go the optimal route that takes you the express lanes and if HOV only it would have been more expedient to go a back road. It would be nice to see if the Fastrak is HOV only or Toll Option.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Have an option to hide street names
The street names are always hiding the way/the street I have to take. I absolutely don't need this information. I need to see the road and the intersection. I need to be able to hide that.

Police notification should be much sooner.
Police notification should be much sooner. When I know the road and using Waze only as police radar then notification should be at least 1km ahead instead of 300 or 400 metres.

Add customize issue reporting button onto android auto or CarPlay interface
Allow users to customize addition of one frequently used “reporting issue” button to the android auto or CarPlay interface. Too many steps just to report a road hazard for example and that means eyes off the road, increasing risk factor for users.

Disallow all undriverable from being connected to roads to prevent routing errors
Walking trails, boardwalks, stairwell (why does this exist) and railroads SHOULD NOT be permitted to be connected to a junction point on a highway, primary road, street, service road or ramp. By preventing the different types from being connected, it should prevent any routing errors from driveable segments onto non-driveable segments.

When WAZE reports debris in the road it should say left, right, or center. I had a bumper in the center lane of the interstate and missed it
Want WAZE to say where debris is located in the road. Right lane center or left. Then we would know to change lanes. Almost hit a bumper twice in the center lane at dusk would have been a major accident but thanks to WAZE I got past it. But a heads up for the lane would help. I was doing 75 on the interstate at the time

Select safer way by following someone if alternative route is similar time
Safely travel means to follow others. Like on festivals inside crowds ==> people tend to walk together = crowd pulls you. Basically we should drive in circles. While road has dashed line, we better don't want to meet many cars in opposite direction. This can avoid mamy accidents by front crash. Similar road arrangement can be seen ie. also on some festivals so it is not just a dream!! I prefer to come 10min late than never [+]. Waze should offer this always (on dashed line roads).

Android Auto App Background Too Bright.
On some Android Auto screens (like the Pioneer AVIC-F88DAB), the daylight map is too bright to see the roads clearly (they look washed out).
Please add option to change background and/or road colors for in-car screens.

Is there a way to contact Waze and ask for a road to be removed as a shortcut option?
My road is a one-way, one-block street that is home to many kids and is bordered on one side by a park that draws many pedestrians. It used to be a quiet street. Recently, Waze started directing drivers to use our street as a shortcut to a busier street. Drivers unfamiliar with our road race down it, despite many signs asking them to slow down. We have had drivers narrowly miss kids, and break tree branches as they swerve too close to the sidewalk. It is also increasing pollution on a rare city street that is next to an incredible…

Many times as a passenger using Waze I notice incorrect map info or current road situations not reported. When I try to report info for upda
Many times as a passenger using Waze I notice incorrect map info or current road situations not reported. When I try to report info for updates I receive "don't text & drive" message & am not allowed to suggest updates (hazards, police, accidents, speed limits, road construction, etc). Would it be possible under Navigation (similar to Vehicle Details) to add Wazer Details with options of: Driver, Passenger? If Driver, process as is. If Passenger, allow suggestions for updates in current time.

Include a railroad crossing information on map
Include a railroad crossing information on map will permit drivers to see where a road cross a railroad and the route machine may calculate a delay when a railroad crossing exists.

The app should show us the toll at the highway. Also in a near future waze should tell us where there is a parking place near our desteny.
The app showing us and telling us the toll ahead on the highway and the price.
Also would be very nice the app telling us empty parking places near our destiny address. This would be a great deal.
Thanks.1 vote -
