CarPlay road hazard button layout
On the icon that pops up and asks if a car/hazard/cop is “still there” or “not there” the buttons should be in a portrait orientation instead of a landscape orientation. It will be easier to tap.

Speed limit
Please allow us to remove the digital speedometer, and instead show a much larger speed limit for the road! The current speed limit sign is very small on some displays, and since every car already has a speedometer, I would like the option to remove it from the app and just show a large icon for speed limit only

Police on the move and what side
Police on the move: I would put an option on the police spotter that shows moving/same side or moving/other side of the road. The app can see what direction/side the motorist is on, it would be a simple change to show that the police are moving on your side or other.

How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
By defining new Waze modes of operation, the central computer could get the location of any pedestrian or cyclist connected to the Waze application.
The following safety features could be specially helpful when the weather is misty or rainy:
The central computer could derive that a pedestrian is crossing a wide road and could inform the near by vehicle drivers. As a result the driver will slow down.
When driving on a narrow road, any car driver could be warned that he is approaching of a walking pedestrian or of a bicycle…7 votes -
Report pin
Suggestion: allow for hazard report on map pin drop.

Indication of clear route ahead (compared to normal traffic)
Where I live, there aren't that many Wazers. So often, heavy traffic on a stretch of road is not reported simply because no Wazer has been there yet (despite it being a busy main road).
Regularly I will detour around junctions because usually there is congestion, sometimes reported on Waze, sometimes not, it ends up being a gamble to detour or not.
However sometimes (and it seems randomly), there is no congestion. On the Waze client, the road is shown as clear, but like I said above, that often means no Wazer has been there yet to report traffic,…

Use navigation instruction "Merge onto ..." when merging onto freeway.
When entering or joining a freeway via ramp, I'd like to hear the instruction to verify the road I'm entering.

Please add an option to avoid country roads in the UK, and stick to motorways, A and B roads only. Country roads are very narrow and dangerous

Higher contrast roads in night mode
When driving at night, I can barely see thin grey roads against the black background. Meanwhile, as I pass roads that need to be verified (chomped), I see all the bright white dots. I'd prefer to have more emphasis on the roads I'm actually using. It's distracting, and distractions when driving, at night no less, are a bad idea!
I have an iPhone 5. Although I have not used waze on other devices, I would assume they have the same color scheme, and thus the same issue.
Alternatively, provide a means to customize the night color scheme…

Report Drivers
We should be able to report when there is a crazy driver on the road. I just had a lady tailgate me, swerve around me, cut me off, and proceed to tailgate other cars in front of me. Having a feature to report this would be helpful for safety reasons.

Adding Roadside Animal detection system to Waze as a feature will help reduce animal roadkill problem.
Roadside Animal Detection (RADAR) systems – A computerized signs with flashing light stripped when an animal breaks a light beam . These can reduce collisions with large animals. These alerts and captured images can also be sent to different GPS apps like Waze, so that drivers coming by on that road can be alerted through their GPS apps and slow down when crossing that area.

Trains blocking roads
I think it would be great if there could be a feature added for trains! We have trains in this area that will stop on the tracks for hours, and they end up blocking over 20 different roads and you end up having to drive about 15 roads down until you find an opening where the train ends. Currently there's no way to indicate a stopped train. I've tried using the blocked road feature but it doesn't work for this.

Current "top/bottom" radio buttons for confirming reports are difficult to press on bumpy roads. Can they be modified to be side by side?sid
Very difficult to press top/bottom confirmation buttons to confirm a road condition when on a rough road surface. Can these be modified to be side by side?

Use special tiles for not downloaded areas
Let the waze client use a special tile for not downloaded areas. When on a slow connection you sometimes realise there's no road where you are, so you enable construction mode just to realise a minute later that the roads in the area just weren't finished downloading to your phone yet.

Wrong pronounciation of road name
Brilliant app but.... We live in Felmingham, Norfolk and Waze pronounces it as Phlegmingham which makes our toes curl everytime we hear it! hope this reaches the right person.
