the option to chose critical overspeeding threshold (in km/miles like 2-5 mph for 70 mph speed limit or use percentage)
Good idea is to add the option to chose critical overspeeding threshold (in km/miles like 2-5 mph for 70 mph speed limit or use percentage). Flash (with sound) the screen when overspeeding or near of overspeeding occurs. And double/multiply earned points for safe and active drivers :) in dependence of time slot like a rush hour or happy hour or last week :) hope it helps!

Dangerous directions
I have been directed to cross very busy boulevards from side streets without traffic lights. Very dangerous and often impossible. Most recent example sent me north on Carson street in Beverly Hills to cross Wilshire Blvd - extremely unsafe without a traffic light.
5 votes“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings.

In Brazil why in the waze, the highways have no speed limit, tax to use de road and values?
I´m a brazilian user of wase, some things i observe:
1- Why waze doesn't show speed limit road like the car speed?
2- Why toll location in the map don't have (local do pedágio)?
3- Why don't allow include/change the prices for use the road (toll price)?
4- Why points of emergency services maintenance for road users don't have ?2 votes -
New stuff
It would be nice if it would show you the speed limit along the roads. Also, allow people to edit gas prices better so they're more accurate. Another thing, have you guys thought about installing waze app or a waze gps in general on cars? Like bring up the idea to car brands like gmc or ford? Just something to think about!

show street name currently on
It would be great to show the name of the street you're currently on, as well as that of the next turn. Also, show the name of the street you're on when not in navigation mode.
347 votesGreat news. Current street name is now always visible at the bottom of the screen.

WAZE urgently needs updating in Queensland, Australia where in country and coastal areas is is almost unusable! MUST GET speed limits on map, about the only App where they are not shown!

Show limit speed
Add this fonction will be great.
Evry GPS have this fonction1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

I would love to have speed limits added to the app. It would help avoid traps. Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't help Without it
I would love to see the speed limit added to the app with an alert letting you know it is about to change! Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't no good if there is a speed cage over a hill and the cop is setting there! There are traps set up like this all over. And this would eleminate small town traps.

Voice
When Waze is not in use but is apparently still tracking my route in the background, it calls out the upcoming hazards even though I don't have the app in use. I have to set it to no sounds while I'm driving to get it to be quiet. Can there be a setting that turns off the voice when the app is clearly not in use?
2 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you may know, Waze already supports this feature.Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Improve Waze by allowing me to change my home address - now it says I live in TX - I don't.
I tried to put in my home address but your App chose TX not CA
how do I made the correction?

1 voteEasiest way would be to update your home address directly from your home – select ‘Edit’ home address and then choose ‘Current location’.

purple route line hides traffic
When in navigation mode the purple route line hides the yellow and red lines showing traffic congestion. This discourages me from using the navigation. There could be an option to turn the purple line on/off just like there is an option to turn voice commands on/off

The app should show us the toll at the highway. Also in a near future waze should tell us where there is a parking place near our desteny.
The app showing us and telling us the toll ahead on the highway and the price.
Also would be very nice the app telling us empty parking places near our destiny address. This would be a great deal.
Thanks.1 vote -
This is my destination
Option to pick the spot you are now and save it as "Work", "home" or a Favorite. I work in a BIG building - the street address is more than a quarter mile (and on another road) from where I park. I'd love to be able to park, then have that spot be "work". As it is now, I never actually reach any of my regular destinations because of this, which causes false "jams" if I forget to turn Waze off when I get there.

Allow declaring Toll Roads and the option to not navigate through them
Waze wants to route me through a toll road every day and can't seem to find an alternate route until I actually drive it. I want to be able to avoid Toll roads, which means tolls roads need to be able to be declared in the editor.
693 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Force Reroute Button
Many times i can see that the freeway/higway I´m about to enter is slow moving, and waze wants to route me into that sometimes even if there is reported trafficjams/heavy traffic etc on that road. A button on screen or easy accesssible (poosibly instead of the bulldozer) to force an alternative route would really help
69 votesAvailable on version 2.2 and on. To reroute, click on the green bar (after starting the route).
One of the options is to recalculate the route, i.e. force a reroute.
