Simple directions
Have an optional exit/route only spoken feature... And instead of saying "stay right to 90 West, Marina Del Rey"... Just say "stay right for 90 West"

arriving with destination on the right for those of us that use the app to navigate with a disabled person on board the vehicle
I use my waze while at work driving disabled people to destinations, the vehicle is equipped with a passenger side lift for those in mobility devices, an option to arrive at the destination with it being on the right side of the vehicle would be both safer and more convenient.

New Report- temporary traffic lights
Hello Waze,
A lot of roadworks in London are controlled by Temporary Traffic Lights
Which can be 2-Way (50% green)
Also can be 3-Way (33% green)
And can be 4-Way (25% green)
Therefore I suggest :Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 2Way
Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 3Way
Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 4Way
Looking forward to your feedback

Report menu redesign
Nowadays reporting menu is not fluent enough to use while driving, especially when reporting hazards, due to heavy use of text in the menus Latest update even made the font smaller...
I feel that hazard report menu should contain icons in the same matter the main menu uses them. Meaning: car, animal and anything else should have an icon describing. Thus, making the reporting duty during driving a hell of a lot easier. Same goes with the lane choice for the report (you can barely see those tiny arrows there).4 votes -
Ignore Wifi based location info
Please Ignore Wifi based location, and only use physical GPS data.
It happens when GPS signal lost, than inaccurate Wifi based location info provides location info and it is useless, as there are 3 street in the same wifi range.1 vote -
You need to make it possible to route to intersections by naming each cross street and the city
I wasted an entire day and drove 9 hours to nowhere because waze showed an address in Daily City Ca as if it was in San Francisco. I stopped for gas when I pulled up waze and typed in the address. It showed up along with many entirely inappropriate ones from other states etc. I did not realize that I would have had to scroll down past all of the useless ones to find the address that I needed. The first address looked right and I was in a bad spot to be playing with my phone plus I needed…

Update and embed into the memory local shelters, hospitals, and evacuation routes, via our IP Pat. No. 7,612,680 let's talk
Update and embed into the memory of all electronic devices the location of shelters, hospitals, and evacuation routes, along with standard static information like first aid and CPR. Much like Google in beds maps, this information would be available with or without a connection to the network thus instilling a greater level of confidence monks the end-user. We have this globally protected via the PCT in our issued business process patent patent number 7,612, 680. We also have a way to monetize this as the largest advertising platform in the world because safety is universal.

Photo enforced speed zones
Is there any way to add an option to give locations of photo enforced speed zones? They are not legal in most states, so you aren't really looking for them. Some people may not even know that they exist. Totally got tagged in Iowa...

Route Tracking Recorder Functionality
Implement a RTR(Route Tracking Recorder) Functionality.
Say you have this path you like to do every now and then. Activate the RTR and drive until your destination, once there, deactivate RTR. Done! Waze has recorded that route you just drove and saved it.
Ok... what now? Well, you can:1) Use it once again;
OR (where it really shines :)
2) share it to a friend, so that person will know that special route you did to save time from traffic.
Had this idea after a colleague had to follow me until certain point of my daily route to cut…

Warning when entering a highway without other wazers
I think it would be helpful if Waze would generate a warning when you enter a highway on which no wazer passed in the last 1-2 hours. Otherwise you count on the fact that if there is any Police on that highway you would receive a warning from Waze but since no wazer passed through that area lately you have actually no info related to that road (and you are not aware of that).
Such a warning would force you to drive more careful and avoid speed tickets.1 vote -
Risk Area Idenfication By Zip Code
The waze could consider in their paths neighborhoods considered several risk based on ZIP code. Currently, many transportation companies use such resources to make deliveries and considered at risk neighborhoods, deliveries are made with escort.
The neighborhoods considered at risk or streets could be highlighted with different colors so drivers have to avoid these paths.

Better search by intersections as well as address
Waze is great if I give a street address. But if I say 8th and stewart, it never works. It's common for someone to want to meet at, or go to an intersection but not know a street address. I've tried typing it in with the ampersand or plus or "and" but it rarely works. In addition, all searching should FIRST show the closest matches, not those in random states or cities.

More intelligent searching by company name
I love Waze, but there are a few things with search that are not as useful as they could be.
f I search for a name of a company with multiple locations (Walgreens, MacDonald's, etc.) the listings should be by distance, with closest first. It always seems to show corporate HQ, then random locations. For companies with many locations, this means starting a new search.1 vote -

Route color coding.
In navigation programs currently route to go is shown in single colour.
It can be colour coded to show descent and ascent, with intensity of colour changing according to steepness.
That would decrease risks when overtaking, as descents are hard to spot, and another car can be hiding there.
Current maps can be updated, when there are changes in altitude not matching ones known in app. No manual work would be needed; averages of reporting can be used.3 votes -
Clicking any "All Turns" list item zooms to location (upcoming in route)
During navigation, there is no short/simple way to look at a location point of your route ahead. Regardless, a simple and low click, logical solution would be to achieve looking at your upcoming route point for traffic purposes (or whatever reason) would be looking at your "All Turns" list (1 click) then one could scroll through all the upcoming turns, select a location (2nd click), and the screen then reverts to your map route, but targeted to view the turn selected on the "All Turns" list. Returning to the original view where the experience started is as simple as pressing…
