Public Bathroom Button
Have a button that when pushed routes drivers to the nearest public bathroom and then returns to route once done with the bathroom. I've seen other suggestions that are related, but I think it needs to be something really simple because the bathroom issue usually comes up when someone says "we need to stop NOW" and it's never at a convenient time!

Import map road closures from official sources
Automatically import road closures from official government sources available on the web.
In my area there are several government website that report road closures during storms or natural disasters. Scripts could be built to get the information from the web page, and automatically close/open/update road closures.

Variable distance until off-ramp
When on a 4, 5, or 6 lane highway, traveling at highway speeds in the left lane, in moderate or congested traffic in the left lane, I really need more than 1 mile notice of an offramp. So it'd be nice if either (a) the distance to a turn was related to speed (e.g., at 25 miles an hour, a mile notice is good, but at 65 miles an hour a three mile notice would be better) AND/OR (b) users having the ability to set the distance that they want turn-notices to be announced.

Add “Avoid Width Restrictions”
I’ve got a pretty big car and hate width restrictions when I’m driving through the rat race of London rushing to get to work.
If you can add “Avoid Width Restrictions” any road with a width restriction that would really help! Thanks !32 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Show unpaved roads differently in-app
In the app, unpaved/dirt roads appear identical to other segments of the same type. It may be helpful for users to tell when a segment of street is unpaved, while navigating. Maybe the segment could be 'speckled' or 'hashed'.

Car on right or left side of the road
Letting drivers know what side of the road the car is on.
The first report os just "car is on the the side of the road," once reported the next wazer can confirm which side right or left.
This 2 step reporting is less distracting to drivers32 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Predictive Routing
As awesome as Waze is, the fact that it can never remember my route to work is a little annoying. Every week I drive the same route to the office and Waze takes me on a similar route, I think that if you drive the same route enough times to and from the same locations, Waze should recognize that and load the route you always take as the main route.

One Touch Reports in Car Play / Android Auto - Customizable
It would be great to have the ability to customize one-touch reports.
See the attached imgur photo.
In this case, I made vehicle on shoulder, police, and object on the road as my "One Touch."
I also added a compass to the navigation bar on the bottom left. (The compass I used is far too busy for Waze.)32 votes -
Show Roadshields without voice output
It would be great to show Roadshields on the smartphone client without voice output.
At the moment we can show "straight ahead" without voice instruction with the lane assistant tool on WME. This function shows the detail "continue straight" only (without voice output).
It would be great to setup Roadshields and give them a flag "show only, without voice output". Roadshields are a powerful tool and can help to find the right direction. But a voice output isn't necessary always.32 votes -

School bus partnerships
As a parent, and as many otther parents share the same concern, we want to know where our kids are when on a school bus. There are times when buses run an hour late and we have no idea where our kid is. If Waze partnered with bus companies, notifications could be pushed to Waze users who are connected with their children's bus to alert them.

speed cameras
The alert about speed cameras warns about cameras that are positioned on the same direction the car drives, which is counterproductive.It should warn about cameras that are placed on the opposite direction, because these cameras are the ones that are relevant , they take the picture.

Comments on PURs
It would be nice to have a comment section on a PUR, especially for pictures. It would allow the editors to give a reason why the picture or update is being rejected. So maybe the next time they would try to take a better picture that did not include, faces, license plates, etc. I think this would help the community be more aware of what we as editors can accept. I think being able to tell them the reasons instead of just rejecting it would help more, due to the fact users my be confused or upset that their pictures…

"alerts only" mode should include rerouting notifications
Currently, there are 3 sound modes, which is great. "On", "Off" and "Alerts Only". I use "On", when I've never been there before and "Alerts Only" during my daily commute. I love the Alerts Only mode for a daily commute. Problem is, sometimes Waze sees an issue ahead during my commute and only makes a screen notification. I'd really want to be alerted about that.
So I'd like "Alerts Only" to consider a rerouting notification as an alert and not 'normal' navigation instructions.
