Average speed
When entering average speed segment a "ghost driver" could appear in the green bar. It would drive at speed limit and user could gauge if on average they are driving quicker or slower.

Turn by turn on headup display (windshield)
Latest update 5.14.1.0 still does not enable turn by turn to show on the head up display (on winshield). There was a post that waze just needs to flip a switch. Google and apple maps already have it on. Can you guys please enable it? https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/50043126-prioritize-full-carplay-integration-hud-instrum

On the car screen the Exit Route Button is on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Exit Route Button on in car screen is located on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Also the same for the button used to report things on the road.
The less time a driver looks away from the road the better, and looking and reaching farther away is never a good thing.

Let users change the colour of the arrow and route line
Blue is too hard to distinguish, especially in dark mode when driving at night. This would also help those that are colour blind.
I am aware that one can choose a different icon but I prefer the arrow style as it takes less time to figure out which direction I am facing.

enlarge the size of the speed display on android devices, and change the colours to improve contrast
I find the speed hard to read on my android when mounted to the handlebars on my bike. If the speed was larger, and with better contrast, especially the red on black, that would help a lot

Needs PIP mode, saved/offline maps, and no Cancel/Shutdown
Waze is honestly better than Google Maps.
But with a few improvements, it can become the perfect navigation app:PIP (Picture-in-Picture) mode:
When I minimize the app, the map should stay visible in a small floating window. Right now it disappears during multitasking, which is inconvenient.Saved / Offline Maps:
There should be an option to download and save maps for your region. This is very helpful in low-signal areas.Back button behaviour:
It should not ask “Cancel” or “Shutdown App” when we press the Back button. It interrupts the navigation experience.2 votes -

Feature Suggestion: “Group Ride / Buddy Mode” for Safer and More Connected Travel
To the Waze Team,
Good day! I am a longtime Waze user, and I truly appreciate how your app continues to innovate in keeping drivers safe and informed. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience of many users, especially those who travel together.
I would like to propose a “Group Ride Mode” or “Buddy Mode” where users traveling as a group such as friends, families, and motorcycle convoys can see each other in real time directly on the Waze map. Many riders and drivers often travel together, and having this integrated…

“See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”
Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to…2 votes -
Show Suburb Name While Driving
It would be very useful if Waze could display the current suburb/locality name on the main navigation screen while driving. At the moment, suburb names only appear faintly on the map or in some voice instructions, but they are not always visible.
Having the suburb name clearly shown (for example, near the top or bottom of the screen) would help drivers quickly know which suburb they are in, especially in large cities with many small suburbs. This would improve situational awareness and make navigation more convenient.

Street names hide important information
The name of the streets hides the visual information of the map in intersections or roundabout. This is a problem, not a suggestion. The voices information is important but the visual indications are important too. May be a check button to enable or disable that information about the name of the streets could be the solution. thanks.

make sure the route is always fully visible
The route is often obscured by street names and other UI elements. Drivers should always be able to fully see the route because, let's not forget, you use Waze when you don't know the way. See these twitter thread for screenshots:

Add traffic like icons to your maps like Google Maps.
Google Maps has traffic light icons on their maps which is very useful when deciding what intersection to use, especially when making a left hand turn in heavy traffic areas. I don't understand why this feature is not offered since Waze is under the Google umbrella.

Weighted position marker
I use 2D, north-up moving map displays. It would be better to not have my vehicle position marker in the center but weighted off center where I can see more of the map of where I am headed and not where I have been.
