Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)
Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.
So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a checkbox…

Synchronize points and levels across all Waze servers
Perhaps most Wazers won't realize this until they go on vacation but points earned in another country may not be added to your profile when you return home. Say you live in the UK and you go on a road trip in the US. When you run Waze for the first time in the US you will have zero points, and you will be relegated back to a baby Wazer. And nothing you earn while on that trip will be added to your profile back in the UK. This is a real dis-incentive to participate in sharing information. Please find…

Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Configurable sound outputs in Android App
Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:
In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.
My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.
Output sound to:
[ ] Speaker/headphones
( ) Speaker OR headphones…11 votes -
restrictions on canceling reports
It's obvious that photo radar van operators and police are using Waze. I have driven by a PR van, reported it, and on my way back the report will be gone but the PR van will still be there (someone reported it as "not there"). There should be a "not there" safeguard in place, where depending on your rank on the scoreboard, so many reports of not being there need to be filed before it gets removed from the map, and a "Thanks!" report cancels out a "not there" report.
For example: I am a Knight, so either a Knight/King…

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

Navigation to area instead of address ניווט לאיזור במקום לכתובת ספציפית
Driving to an address to find nearby parking? Going to drop a passenger somewhere?
When navigating to a specific address (current option) you won't always get the shortest way. For example the house you want to get to is just across the street from you- wayz can take navigate you to a U turn or worse.
My suggestion- add on option "drive to area"- you put an address and radius (or make few radius options) and wayz will create the fastest way to that radius.

Voice guidance only sound option
Allow users to disable alert sounds, but keep guidance instructions.
I like voice guidance, especially when waze directs me to do something weird in an unfamiliar area to avoid traffic.
I find all alert notifications extremely annoying, and do not use the app for that purpose. It would be nice to be able to disable the annoying sounds and keep the useful ones turned on.

Highway Exits
It would be great that Waze would recognize if you are traveling along an out of state highway and could provide further information on exits along the highway. This information could be provided by wazers and could just use a check box option such as
- Easy on Easy Off
- Great Place to Get Gas
- Great Place to Get Food
- Safe Area
- List of Nearby Restaurants (off of Exit)

Having a paid version
I would like a version with better graphics and more details like the image of the road sign and auto zoom when approaching an exit.

next service station - distance/time
On a long drive it'd be handy to be able to see:-
"Service station 1 - 3miles/5mins"
"Service station 2 - 45miles/38minutes"11 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

שיפור בתוכנה
כאשר המערכת נותנת התראה על מכמונת מהירות אפשר להוסיף את המהירות המותרת בכל מקטע.
בכלל היה עוזר אם היה אפשרות לדעת מה המהירות המותרת בכל מקום שנוהגים.
לדעתי זה יכול לתרום להורדה במספר תאונות הדרכים.11 votes -

Allow me to delete the hazard "Vehicle stopped on shoulder" without deleting all hazards
You need to be able to split which road hazards you want or don't want. I would kill to be able to stop being told about a vehicle on the shoulder but still be able to know about other hazards. Seriously, if the vehicle is on the shoulder it isn't a hazard.

Holiday feature to place report pins on awesome residential holiday light displays.
We took our child out last night trying to find great holiday light displays. We founds some good ones but crowd sourcing great displays would be awesome. Especially if the more people tagged a display the more prominent it would appear in Waze.

Add motorcycle icons for sports bike and cruise
There is an icon for motorcycle that looks like a scooter. It would be cool to add different ones for sport bike and cruiser just like there are icons for various car types.
