Roadside assistance
Add an option for drivers to report they need roadside assistance and drivers on route will get a notification on the matter.
The assistance could be anything from help changing a tire or the need of jumper cables etc... I also think that a good incentive is to give waze points to drivers who stop and help...
Really think this is an easy to do update that will help people in need (the whole point of waze is a social navigation app...)13 votes -
Problem pushing directions bluetooth from android to car speakers
Waze has been my fav for a long time because it pushed spoken directions from all my iPhones to the car speakers via bluetooth. It seemed to do this by tricking my radio (Kenwood) into thinking a call was coming through. Pretty crafty. But since the latest iPhone update that messed up other things regarding bluetooth, Ive gotten an android phone. Now the waze app on android won't push spoken directions to the car speakers when the radio is set on (radio). It seems like a big safety issue since when in the car its hard to hear the little…

Remove social networking features
Not sure whey Waze felt it necessary to add all of the social networking features (I'm speaking of facebook and twitter here, not the shared information about traffic speeds and road hazards). I am not a big fan of facebook and don't care to share information that way. Waze used to be a great navigation app. I urge you to return to your home base. Leave facebook to facebook.

Navigation: option to avoid cobblestone, brick streets. This would be very appreciated by car drivers, motorcyclists. Android user.
I hate it when I get navigated down a cobblestone or brick street. You have to crawl along so your teeth don't fall out. I'd rather take a longer route than drive over these streets here in Seattle.

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

High contrast day & night
I like the night-time, high contrast colors. None of the daytime color settings have enough contrast. How about a "forever night" setting, or a daytime super-high-contrast option?

Disable face proximity sensor.
The face proximity sensor is enabled. Since I place my iPhone in the console of my vehicle, every time I move my hand down to perform an action, the display goes black. I have to gingerly reposition my hand before I can do anything.
I suggest disabling the face proximity sensor while in an operational mode. If necessary, you can enable it right before going to a phone call (if not speakerphone).

My Rank and the scoreboard
I'm bummed that you only show the top 50 wazers on the scoreboard. I'm ranked 299 (kinkstone) currently and I want to see the spread of points above and below me.
Please add a pair of options at the top of the list (where you show all v. state and all times v. weekly) where I can choose between "top" or "around me". When showing the scoreboard around me, show the 50 wazers with me centered in the list.
That way I can see the movement and score distribution of people like me.

Add intelligence to traffic jam detection
Often users parked will cause a false traffic jam to be reported, yet when stuck in traffic it is usual to be crawling or moving occasionally.
When Waze detects traffic conditions and pops up the question of whether you are in traffic please change the default response dependant on whether the vehicle has been moving or not. If it has been totally stationary please set default response to 'No' as in a total traffic jam the driver will most likely spot the dialogue, only use 'Yes' as the default action when there has been some movement which is much more…

Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.

Add Support for Oval Country-Code Symbols in Visual Instructions
Description:
In many European and international transit corridors, road authorities frequently use the white oval country‑code symbol (e.g., A, D, CH, H, I, SLO, HR) on direction signs, gantries, and even road surface markings. These symbols are universally recognized by drivers and originate from the international vehicle registration codes defined in the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968).Because these ovals appear prominently on real-world signage—especially in countries with heavy cross‑border traffic—they are an essential visual cue for navigation. However, in Waze they are currently difficult and cumbersome to reproduce in visual…

Larger Speed and Speed Limit Option Please!
Please give the option to make the Speed Display and Speed Limit Boxes Larger. It is very hard to see due to small size. This would be very helpful in cars like mine that do not have a digital speed display.
