Change driver position to reflect road directions on the Android Auto
I drive on the right side and the map direction is on the top left, which requires me to look a bit further than I should. This feature already exists in Google Maps. If it's possible to arrange the direction to the right side, that will greatly improve the navigation experience and provide safer driving on the road.

Planned drive with expected weather forecast
At least once a year I go on a drive 800km drive during a period when the weather could be questionable, I generally look at the weather in major points along my route several days in advance to determine if we need to leave early or perhaps late to avoid weather. This year we left a couple of hours before a major storm, but managed to stay ahead of it.
I would like to see a planning mode where I could potentially input my planned destination into Waze a couple of weeks before my planned trip, along with my earliest…

Map comments usage warning message
Could a warning be added to the left side or a pop up warning on save that states map comments are only seen in the editor and not the app. They are for reference. If trying to report an issue use the Send a Report, Map issue option in the app.

The “Leave at a later time” feature DOES NOT WORK
The “Leave at a later time” feature DOES NOT WORK. It DOES NOT save the destination, and DOES NOT alert me when it’s time to go. I don’t recall whether it ever did, but certainly never my iPhone 12 with iOS 16.x.x or (now) 17.1.1. Wish it did—it would be very convenient

Map and routes improvement
The waze map in the middle is very busy it shows the turning whit white and you cannot see it as road names and other wazers avatar is on the map...I would suggest to pop road names towards the side of the map...and another idea is to input car make/model and you give is routes to avoid widht/height restrictions....very useful in London

Show direction that other wazers are travelling on the navigation map
When viewing the navigation map, what if you showed a little arrow indicating the direction that the other wazers on the map are traveling? I can't tell if the wazer ahead of me is traveling the same direction as me and I am just catching up to them or they are on the other side of the road driving towards me. You could put a little black direction arrow in their icon.

Multiple kind of private roads
Several categories of private roads exist.
The common is that transit should not be allowed within them.
But after that different categories exists :Some are open but only visitors allowed
Some other are physically closed with or without the ability to open them.
It would be useful to be able to map those categories so Waze would warn the driver before driving about the condition of the destination, and eventually change destination if it is not reachable.1 vote -
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)

Navigation
I use Waze for work as a salesperson. How is it that Waze can navigate me perfectly OUT of a parking lot as I leave a destination but just leads me to the middle of the street, rather than turning me into at least the parking lot, when I’m going to my next destination?
AND, could you consider adding outlines of buildings at addresses so I know which way to head out if the parking lot?
Long-time user, first time suggestor. 😁1 vote -
Route through road closures
During last week Verizon had to support the first responders was satellite assets for their communications. We were able to go through road closures. I would like the ability to turn off the reroute around road closures so that the people that can actually go through the road closures can be routed to their destination lot faster because of Waze and other map programs we could not rout ourselves to the locations that we needed to go to, I am Sure that the mini first responders that were at the Ruidoso Fire had the same issue

Voice-enabled user reports
Allow for voice-enabled user report functionality e.g., “Hey Waze, I see Police” or “Hey Waze, I see a Car (or Animal) on Side of Road”. Minimally, voice interaction would also allow Waze to probe for more descriptive information “Thank you. Are police hidden?”. Allow users to opt into Waze having ongoing access to the microphone on the device, perhaps while the device is in vehicular motion. This would allow Waze to provide a safer reporting experience for its most valuable users on Waze…the people that do the most reporting.

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Remember the time to go home
I think if you get in the car around the same time everyday it should ask you if you are going to the same destination, it should learn

Expand "arrival boundaries"
If you're at or within 100 feet/30 meters of a destination, consider navigation complete and stop routing. Many times Waze will remain active, showing I am 100 feet or less from a destination, and will frantically re-route (or at least attempt to). In my experience from Waze, this is most common in shopping centers or business campuses/parks, though it happens sometimes at single building destinations, such as a standalone restaurant or even at my home. Waze shouldn't feel a need to provide door-to-door directions.

resort adress
Would be useful to have a third 'steady' favorite in addition to Home and Work that could be RESORT. So that when on holiday or congress somewhere , and once the adress of let's say the hotel is set in this particular favorite, Waze would suggest you to go back to this adress automatically instead of Home or Work. This automatic proposition everytime you resume to Waze would end once you choose Home or Work as new destination.

Less accepting rout on android auto screen
Currently to navigate to a saved destination like work or home you need to accept and confirm the rout three times before navigation starts on android auto. This is a safety issue as it destracts you from driving having to look at the screen to see why navigation has not started. Starting navigation immediatly after selecting a destination will eliminate destractions from driving and also make it safer if you're lost and need to get out of a dangerous location.

Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

Web Page interaction
Why the web site does not bring my favorites places? It would be very easy for us to edit a add, delete, modify a destination on web page rather than the APP..
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, a live map is available as a web version, which you can use to see real time traffic reports. Search for Waze live map.
