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.

Make switching avoid highways on/off easier
Often times during my commute I need to know if it's quicker to continue using highways or go local. Currently this means navigating several sub-menus which is distracting, dangerous and sometimes impossible. It would be nice to have a quick option on the home screen so you can compare the ETAs and routes for both highway and local

An option to reduce the thickness size of streets and avenues!! Read the description to see examples!!
This option would greatly help in cases where there are many nearby streets and avenues, and bridges above these streets and avenues, not allowing us to see clearly the way we should go, or if we must keep at right or left on the track.
For example this screenshot:

Seamless "OK, Google Now Navigate"
I would like Waze to begin navigation intermediately after it starts when I say "OK, Google Now Navigate to ..." without having me to click anything. Right now the destination appears on the map, but then I need to click the bock and tell Waze to begin navigation.

Semi-permanent drive location sharing
Allow for multiple options when sharing drive location. Currently friends I want to share with keep getting "request cancelled". We are driving across the country and don't want to have to keep resending new links. I would like to have one I can use over and over with options to stop sharing or refresh to a new link when you want to change who has access or something the like. I think having time limits may be good too. Share my location via this link for 1, 2,...24, 48 hrs (as long as waze is open and sharing is on).

Wazer message notifications (i.e. private messages) need to be more visible to be effective
In the Past few days I've "private messaged" wazers who were ahead of me on a route to find out about traffic conditions or a slow downs. These messages went unanswered. I didn't think anything of it at the time. This morning on the way into work I just happened to go to "My Waze" to view my ranking... and saw that I had a Private Message from another wazer- from 10 days ago - and never knew it. The message was basically the same as what mine had been. -- I told you all that to tell you this:…

Change the street name display
Displaying all the street names horizontally makes the names unusable since I can’t tell what street the name applies to. In the Live Map application the printing of the names follow the street. If some people want all of the names horizontal, why not offer both options via a personal setup?

Fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn
It would be really nice if Waze faded music during audio events (not pause.. pause is a little bit jerky and makes you lose the music beat)
I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it (outstanding equalizer settings and audio effects), and the fade function is really necessary so I don't keep distracting looking for corners on GPS.
Also, on my own opinion, fading looks real classy and professional.Original Google Maps' software does that fading, but I don't want to go back…
