use HN waze interpolation instead of google
We have several huge streets that make it difficult to place the house numbers, so I prefer to use interpolation by placing the house numbers in some meter intervals, but this change is usually not reflected because Waze prioritizes Google's interpolation over Waze's own data.
My suggestion is: Use Waze's interpolation when: The number is not mapped (there is no linked residential location and no house number) and there is a number greater than and less than the number searched for entered by an editor (not the automatic imported one)
Example:
Editor Editor
15 75I'm looking for the number…

hide street name
Good morning,
Would it be possible to create an option to hide the street name? At certain intersections, the purple sign hides the white arrow. Additionally, with Android Auto, the street name is already indicated. Sincerely. RR6 votes -

routes for caravans
Please create a category for those towing a caravan so that inappropriate routes are not offered.
I would rather travel further on a good road than be guided onto a narrow, winding, steep or unsafe surface when towing my caravan.
The risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle travelling at high speed on a windy dirt road is very high when visibility is limited and there is no room to manoeuvre6 votes -
Tow Mode
I often tow a trailer for work, and use Waze to go everywhere - but often time saving routes will take me down side streets and laneways that are narrow and difficult to navigate with a trailer. Same would apply for touring with a caravan.
It would be awesome to have a mode that minimizes tight turns, side streets or intersections without traffic lights.

I'd love to use Waze while commuting on my bicycle. Google Maps has the option to travel by bike.

Rotas de ruas com subidas
Olá, gostaria de dar um sugestão, no mapa do waze poderia indicar, ou fazer outra rota, ruas quem tem subida, morro, muito íngreme, pois o meu carro não tem muita potência, e quando é para estacionar, parar, é muito ruim sair. Tem muitas pessoas que eu conheço que gostariam dessa possibilidade. Muito obrigado

Provide the option to Avoid a route through a state
As states continue to press forward on legislation hostile to the LGBTQ+ community - with some even including potential arrests for being in your gender identity - please consider an option to avoid routing through an area, such as a city or state.
This will be key for the personal safety of LGBTQ+ community members.

Plan waypoints on the Livemap
It would be very helpful to plan a route with several waypoints on the Livemap and once planned, send it to the phone App.
6 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.

Avoid red light cameras
Hi, I would like to suggest that at the section where we choose to avoid unpaved roads, freeways, tols etc, you could include the choice to Avoid Red light Cameras or other permanent road cameras.

smarter routes with road closures
Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:
We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).
Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to…

Navigation for larger van / lorry or caravan / trailer.
Many drive in a larger van / lorry or with a caravan / trailer.
Would it not be possible for you to choose vehicle type and based on size, Waze creates a route where you are not led out on very small roads.
You can in other navigation systems, such as TomTom Go5 votes -
Add public transportation in app for users to choose as their vehicle type to match available restriction settings in WME.
In WME we have: Private, Electric, Motorcycle, Public transportation, Taxi.
In the app we have: Private, Taxi, Motorcycle (+ EV in a different menu)Main use case would be for unscheduled buses, such as tour buses, school buses, private hire buses, etc. that are not really “public transport”, but are allowed to use bus-only roads and turns.
Local authorities can define bus+taxi or just bus restrictions for turns and streets. We can map this correctly in WME, but then users don’t have an option that would route them through public transport only areas.5 votes -

Straighter/easier routes setting
There should be a way to set a preference for straighter/easier routes. Often, Waze suggests a route with a bunch of turns down small side streets or a really curvy road just to save one minute on a 20-minute drive when there was a more direct route such as a main road or highway. With this preference enabled, Waze would default to a route with a slightly longer duration that is much simpler and requires fewer turns.

Ciclismo
Gostaria de sugerir a inserção de alertas de condução avisando os condutores sobre rotas de treino de ciclismo na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais na Orla da Lagoa da Pampulha em horários específicos. estes alertas ajudariam na prevenção de acidentes e remediação de controles de velocidade e alertas de desvio de rotas aos condutores.

Avoid specific tolls
Can you make it possible to avoid specific roads (specifically tolls)
Let's say I'm in Indiana heading to Chicago. I want to get on the toll road in Indiana, but get off before the Chicago Skyway because it's more expensive.
Can you make it so I can still have it take me on the toll road in Indiana, but take me off before the skyway?5 votes -
Traffic ahead, would you like to reroute
Currently, when there is an alert given "amount of time in traffic, x minutes." once you're already in the traffic. It would be nice if that alert was given sooner AND provide the opportunity to re-route. For example, "traffic ahead will add x minutes to your trip. Would you like to re-route around the traffic?"
