Bring back Friends feature
Friends feature was a great feature and we would like to get it back. As mentioned on multiple conferences it was a "thing" in Waze which was diffenret in Waze app, it was something close to gamification and it was bringing users to the app.
Tkanks for every vote!

Friend feature was removed to make some place for Carpool - that was said by Waze many times. Now, Carpool is dead and Google is trying to implement Friends feature - that's why we would like to have it back!

Show bridge height
Not once, I've heard of trucks getting into accidents by hitting a bridge that is too low to the vehicles height.
Why not display the bridges on the route and their height to prevent those type of accidents?96 votes -
Saved places folders
It would be nice if individual saved places could be saved in separate folders. Possible one for family, shopping, vacation, activities, etc. It would make it faster and easier to find a place without scrolling through my entire saved list.

Send accurate (W3W?) location to recovery company, police, fire
When you breakdown, arrive at and accident or have an accident yourself, you need to be able to report your location very very accurately.
Waze could have an emergency call/location feature to guide police, ambulance, fire etc to the exact location. The most accurate in what 3 Words which has mapped the entire globe with 3m x 3m squares.

Add Rest Areas to Categories
Show rest areas and allow users set notifications for distances between rest areas or services (fuel, restrooms, food.) Driver fatigue is a significant contributor to vehicle accidents and some highways have few services or rest areas.

EV car icon and mood
EV car icon - something simple with a lightning bolt or plug on top?

Import Plugshare / Openchargemap database for EV charging stations?
Can Waze import Plugshare / Openchargemap database for EV charging stations?
It should be more efficient to import it, than build/manage it from scratch.21 votes -
carpool
Turn carpool notice OFF !! Retired and drive by myself almost every day. I don't need the Carpool suggestion coming on every time I drive. Really dangerous when using Waze at night and that pops up. It covers my screen and have to tap it to get back to map.

Share a Drive
Bring back to original ‘share a drive’!! This sending a text message is annoying & takes slightly longer. Not having ‘friends’ in Waze is annoying as well. Why did you get rid of these options?

“Getting fuel/food” option if leaving the route, instead of being nagged to return to it
We just finished a two way cross country journey between Colorado and New Jersey. As usual we used Waze, and as always it was great. However, whenever we pulled off the interstate for any reason we were, of course, nagged with directions to get back onto it. I thought it would be really useful if a box could pop up where you could choose “stopping for fuel” or food, or rest break, so that the app would just pause directions

Love the app. Please add , "Hey Dumb Butts, STOP RUBBER NECKING AND DRIVE!" You are causing the traffic delays.
Way to Tell Drivers to stop rubber necking. The stopping/braking to look is causing traffic delays.

WME PH Only show at higher zoom
Feedback on new icons for Place Hazards (Cameras, Railroad crossings). (from another editor's posting in Waze Discuss)
In WME: hazards show on the map all the way out to Zoom 14! at this Zoom, even the railroad segment isn't rendered - does the hazard need to render this far?
In areas like NYC, WME performance is already poor (for making edits, panning and zooming in).
Now these icons also render out to Zoom Level 14, covering multiple streets, nodes, etc.
Not too long ago we had an update for UR and PUR pills to group up (cluster) to reduce clutter,…

Switch between editor profiles on different servers (NA - ROW - IL)
For those of us who edit on more than one server, it would be really helpful if we could easily switch between servers on our editing profile. I edit in both NA and ROW. My editor profile shows the server for the last place I edit (except sometimes it takes a day or so of editing in the other environment for my profile to switch), which makes it difficult to find the last place I edited on the other server.
I can make a whole string of edits in Laos, make one edit in the US . . . and…

Social friends
Seen that you no longer associate with Facebook, I can’t follow my friends on Waze. Why don’t you create your own social media platform so Waze users can follow their from around the country and world to share their travels.
Very disappointed I can’t connect with friends on Waze.9 votes -
