Evacuation zones
I know these currently exist via Champs/Coordinators, this is a suggestion on how these work.
We in NC have had a big issue with DOT not knowing every closed road and considered almost half the state as closed. NC leadership worked with champs and coordinators to get an evacuation zone set up. However, we noticed that routing through this zone was still enabled. Based on this here is 2 suggestions we came up with.
1 - Route Around - This suggestion is to restrict travel from outside the zone to outside the zone through the zone completely. This is the preferable option as it will keep users from entering possibly dangerous areas and also keep users from impeding emergency responders. Doing this could also reduce Waze's liability for routing users into hazardous areas that Waze would have knowledge of but the user may not.
2 - Message - This suggestion comes from the routing inside of the evacuation zone as this will display a message regarding this destination is in an evacuation zone and give an option for another destination. What we are suggesting is to use something similar for routing through the evacuation. I suggest "This routes through an Evacuation Zone" then details and give an option for other routes.

Stop navigation once you're "close enough" to the destination
Waze should have an option where it stops trying to re-route once you're close to the destination, especially when it is not possible to actually drive to the exact entry point for whatever reason.
Context:
I've got someone who has brought up routing issues to their destination a few times, and at least two or three local editors have made various changes. They now again have been saying that once they arrive, Waze wants them to exit the parking lot again, and make a huge detour just to return again to where they are already located.
I am convinced this is a combination of perhaps somewhat imprecise GPS, one-way parking lot roads, and the exact location of the destination entry point. But obviously they are where they need to be and are just being picky!
A similar situation is when the app wants you to drive to the front door of the store, but you're quite content having parked a short distance away.

Waze on cluster screen over Carplay
Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to display a map on the cluster screen when connected via Apple Carplay.
Can an option be implemented for Waze to do the same thing?

Boat trailer option
Please add an option for towing a trailer. I'll be towing a 23' boat from DC to ME in August. Generally this can only go on interstates and roads without height restrictions. I know from past drives that Waze will try to take us on the Merritt or Taconic parkways where trailers are not allowed and clearance is low

Please give the ability to turn off the "carpool" button
The carpool button is the bane of my Waze existence. Whenever I pick up my phone from the little pocket area in the car and Waze is running, it triggers this "carpool" button. Then it takes both hands to swipe from the far left side of the screen to make it go away. I won't ever use the carpool function and would love to be able to hide it and stop this from happening. I know it sounds trivial, but it's maddening to deal with.

Android Auto localized voice search
When using Waze for Android Auto, I would like an additional voice search icon to be available at the search input box. This voice search should work the same way as Waze for Android voice search works.
This is especially important for languages where the Google Assistant language is not supported. It would also be useful to find destinations when going abroad and localized place names are in a different language than what is set in Google Assistant.
This would reduce driver distraction a lot in many regions of the world I think.

UR - add screenshot option
On a daily basis, users report some map issues (lacking precision) that we could not verify just by the UpdateRequest data in WME, or they just do not remember/know the names of the streets/landmarks to help us find and solve the issue. Most of the times, we, the editors, need to search a lot for things that could be indicated inside of Waze, without using third parties for posting photos and screenshots like imgur.com, Facebook, or our personal contact pages/phone numbers/emails.
A button for adding a screenshot could be useful somewhere in the message notification screen.

Alerts about approaching settlements
Hello! Please add the ability to enable alerts about approaching settlements. Often the signs of settlements can be seen at the last moment and you have to brake quite sharply. Some navigators have such a function. Conveniently, set the desired distance about the notification and you’ll calmly drive up, reducing the speed to that allowed in the settlements.
Russian: Здравствуйте! Добавьте, пожалуйста, возможность включения оповещения о приближении к населенным пунктам. Часто знаки населенных пунктов можно увидеть в последний момент и приходится достаточно резко тормозить. В некоторых навигаторах такая функция есть. Удобно, выставил нужное расстояние об оповещении и уже спокойно подъезжаешь, снижая скорость до разрешенной в населенных пунктах.

Add H2 Hydrogen as Fuel Type
In Europe and California to name a few there is already a network of automotive Hydrogen filling stations available, and expanding. Sometimes these are stand-alone stations, sometimes in a combination with other fuel types. The Waze community should be able to add automotive Hydrogen filling stations on the map, both as a new location or at an existing gas station. The wazer should be able to provide price information on Hydrogen. Moreover the Wazer should be able to search for Hydrogen filling stations as he would search for a traditional gas station, including options along the planned route including price information. (this would fit in perfectly with existing gas stations functionality)

Mudança na tecnologia 3G deixa Waze "maluco" sem GPS, nos forçando a desligar o 3G de diversas operadoras do Brasil
Todos brasileiros que estiverem enfrentando problemas no GPS de seus aparelhos por culpa de mudanças na tecnologia 3G que as operadoras vem realizando de 2015 para cá, por favor somem-se a mim votando para que a Waze interceda junto às companhias telefônicas para corrigirem ou apresentarem alternativas a este problema.
A maioria dos usuários simplesmente vem deixando de usar o Waze, por acreditar que seja problema no aplicativo, quando o problema na verdade é algum conflito do GPS (qualquer outro app que use terá o mesmo problema) com mudanças que vem ocorrendo na tecnologia 3G.
Afirmo com segurança que o problema é no 3G pois assim que desativo ele no celular, ficando no modo Edge, o GPS volta a funcionar plenamente, PORÉM, com a troca de dados comprometida!
E afirmo que o problema decorre de mudanças DAS OPERADORAS por viajar pelo Brasil de carro e perceber que de um Estado para outro o GPS volta a funcionar!Aqui no sul do Brasil, estado do Rio Grande do Sul - RS, por onde ando o Waze fica "saltando" de localização ou perdendo o sinal. Então desativo o 3G e ele volta a funcionar, mas assim perde dados atualizados da estrada...
Mas, logo ao entrar no estado de Santa Catarina - SC, o Waze volta a funcionar perfeitamente NO 3G!!! Só que já enfrentei exatamente o mesmo problema estando em SC em outubro de 2015, provavelmente pela VIVO estar testando a mudança de tecnologia, voltando e mantendo a tecnologia anterior agora no final do ano.Assim, amigos, acredito que MUITOS OUTROS USUÁRIOS DE WAZE no Brasil (e talvez no mundo?) estejam passando pelo mesmo problema, mas culpando o App! Já localizei na internet alguns relatos de problemas semelhantes em SP, RJ, DF, tanto da operadora VIVO, quanto TIM e OI.
Então deixem seus comentários e votem para termos o Waze de volta à pleno vapor em todo Brasil, é só eles têm força para cobrar uma solução!!Todos brasileiros que estiverem enfrentando problemas no GPS de seus aparelhos por culpa de mudanças na tecnologia 3G que as operadoras vem realizando de 2015 para cá, por favor somem-se a mim votando para que a Waze interceda junto às companhias telefônicas para corrigirem ou apresentarem alternativas a este problema.

Alerta de atividades de bandidos e marginais
Como sugestão e até como utilidade pública o Waze poderia, ao invés, ou melhor, além de alertar onde temos policiais o sistema poderia alertar onde temos atividades de bandidos... Em São Paulo em muitos semáforos ou em pontos de congestinamentos por vezes avistamos a atividade de marginais e isso poderia ser muito útil para que o motorista redobrasse sua atenção ao risco de assalto...

lock screen orientation

Add option to display Gas Stations (as clickable icons) on main map screen without having to use menu.
Add the option to display gas stations on the main map as clickable icons, without having to go through the several menus (i.e. menu > gas > list > map... and all the way back) to visualize surrounding stations and return to main navigation map.
Clicking the gas station icons on the main map view should allow users to "navigate" directly to the gas station and also update the fuel prices (if within range).
Showing gas stations on the main map view has two main benefits:
Updating gas prices to nearby stations becomes much easier.
The user will have the option to always be visually informed of where the nearest gas stations (and washrooms) are while driving. It therefore allows the user to drive to a nearby gas station visually (without having to touch the device), or they can click the icon to navigate to it directly.
Finally, if this is not feasible, I at least recommend having an option that makes the "Gas" menu selection show the gas stations in map view first (before list view). And also once in the "gas station" map view, there should be a quick way to get back to the main (navigation) map view. Currently you have to click three times (in the the top left) to get back to the main map view; on android this corresponds to clicking the < arrow next to "SEARCH RESULTS" then "AROUND YOU" then "NAVIGATE". That's far too much work just to get back and forth from the gas station map view.

Visualize BEST TIME TO LEAVE for a given destination (red to green). Save time if you know the peaks.
Problem
You know where to go, but want to know what would be the best time to leave to avoid peak traffic.
At the moment you a ETA, which is nice to know but doesn't help you to plan.Idea
You plan a route, get an ETA and a option to choose the best time for leaving. Could be a color coded (green to red) 24h hour-by-hour "forecast" of expected travel time (graph or simple list). This could include current traffic situation for the next few hours, averages for the rest. Also the next 2 hours could be split into let's say quarters of an hour. Sometimes being 15 minutes late can result in being stuck in rush hour. It could calculate minutes/percentages you could save or you could spend in traffic.Benefit
- Wazers can save on travel time by choose their ideal time to leave.
- Other Wazers benefit from distribution of traffic over time - reduce the peaks, facilitate low traffic.
- @Waze: You want to save 5 minutes per Wazer each day by providing the best route. Save them another 5 minutes by enabling them to choose the perfect time to leave.What do you think? Any other ideas?

Use the Bluetooth mesh for alerts when there is no internet connection (like Bitchat)
Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network. Just like it's done with the Bitchat app.
Many times we drive a very long stretch without internet access, and important events happen on the road that we need other drivers to see. With this Bluetooth network activated, we can share with drivers near us, and they can share with those closest to them, eventually reaching someone who has satellite internet or even mobile data.Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network.
