Flagged Place reject reason
It would great if you could communicate with Flagged place request to tell the Waser why their update request is being denied or feed back to educate the Wazer. I keep getting flagged Places because the gas price is wrong. Wish I had a way to educate the user on how to update the price.

Account recovery not a new account
How about when a user gets a new phone or their phone crashes (both scenarios keep original Waze account phone number) an account reset or recovery option? You know, one that does NOT create a new account and informs you afterwards that you just hosed yourself because now you will never get your account back. I'm not so worried about the "points" I lost, it's my user name that still shows up as a user that I can no longer access. It's great you guys gobbled up Waze, how about raising your standards to that of the original company?

update alerts for other side of road
I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs to…17 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.

Improve ability to report closures on forks and ramps
When reporting road closures in the Waze client, for each road possible to report as closed, you get an X with an arrow pointed down the path to be closed. The problem is if the arrows overlap, you can only press the top most one. This makes reporting ramp closures or closures at a narrow fork impossible. It would be better if when arrows are overlapping, each press cycled between them.

Need improving favorite / search
I have idea about favorite / search
- Why not let Waze search address from my contact list?
- Why not create folder in favorite? Like Friend, Company, Restaurant, etc.
- When click address on contact, link to Waze instead iPhone's map
That would be great!

Display alternative ETA's at junctions
When I'm driving towards an intersection junction along my route with several route alternatives, I would like a feature that displays hor much longer those alternative route choices are.
Why?
1) My commute has several alternative route choices that differ in meters and seconds.2) The first Waze default route choice is not always best.
3) Sometimes I can plan my route better than Waze, and don't always choose the Waze route.
4) Sometimes I prefer some variety in my daily commute.
5) Sometimes I want to choose a different route just so I can see something different.

Show Road events information in Map view - Plan Route
In the earlier version of Waze this feature was available. With the new update the feature disappeared:
When choosing the best route out of 3 options Waze shows the list of route and the map. In the Map View not it is missing the traffic information!!!!To be able to choose the best route it is totally necessary to see WHERE exactly along the route you should expect traffic.
The list view shows this info somehow, but it is difficult to guess where exactly the road events are just on a simple line. In the Map View, you can easily…17 votes -
Add favorites from desktop Mac/PC.
Add Desktop access. I find a route on my desktop, I have to send myself a text to add it to Waze. It would be nice if I could access my Waze client so I could both add favorites and manage current addresses on my desktop where I have a full keyboard.

Add angry icon for jumping queue area or activity
As a way to educate drivers who jump / cutting queue. The icon or symbol of angry face is to indicate that we do not condone such behavior. Those who don't like this bad activity can click on the icon and number of clicks will be increased. The symbol can also be used by authority to take action on those bad drivers.

Shipping Locations: Optional Photo
By submitting via a local application, make mandatory the address location of the fill and make sending the photo an optional, because sometimes we have the time and calm to report when we got inside the place, or parked in a location that does not have the ability to send the photo of the facade, or is night, it's raining etc ...
This prevents photos "nothing", interior or wrong.
Thus, passing the place, you could have an option to skip the photo, in the address field, making it mandatory.17 votes -
Text colors
Presently, in turn-by-turn navigation, the distance until the next maneuver is in white an the name of the street/exit where that maneuver is to take place is in blue. The blue text is hard to read against a black background; and since the name of the street/exit is more important than the distance to it (IMO), I recommend switching these colors to show the street/exit name in white (and the distance in blue).

Add divided street option
Waze doesn't differentiate when a street has a median that blocks the ability to get to a destination. Add another option similar to elevation or direction but that requires Waze to navigate to the other driving direction for the street. This would allow editors to update Waze streets without having to split them for the same functionality.

why is there no ambulance car option? and option to show hospitals on map? I am an EMT who uses Waze at work all the time!
Add ambulance icon to car options, and an option to show hospitals, maybe even the closest ER facility to current location! I use Waze all the time at work as an EMT, and while the first suggestion would just be a treat for those, like me, in the EMS field, the second option would have the ability to assuage new EMTs fears of not knowing the closest hospital facility (we cover ALL of Colorado, though mainly Denver metro area, but still a huge area to learn when you're new).

police notification 1 mile ahead rather then 0.5 miles
It would be nice to have a little further warning that a police car is ahead in some instances a half a mile they can clock your speed.
