Warning: Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead
Disable warnings for vehicles on shoulder. In high density areas there is always a vehicle on the shoulder. To the point that it will stop my internet radio every 5 minutes for another warning. This is especially annoying when the vehicle is 30 feet off the road and NOT a hazard. Yes, you can click "not there", but that in itself is a hazard every 5 minutes to click it off. It's a nuisance, a danger, and just not useful for many.

I'd like to navigate to parkingplaces more easy. Now not every P possibility is shown on my map.
Not every parkingplace (P) is shown on the map. It would be very easy to select (or even see) the P on the map and navigate to it. Nice and easy way to navigate into a city.

Create a "via" function
Say I'm at home and I'm going out but I need to stop at the bank on the way. My closest branch is the opposite direction of the way I need to go ultimately. If I could type in my destination, but then tell Waze I want to go "via" Citibank, then Waze could calculate whether it's better from a traffic perspective for me to drive the wrong direction now, or if there's a Citibank on my route that would be faster overall.

planning a route via website
Any reason why I cannot get directions using the web via pc? Sooooo I have to resort to mapquest or google maps while at my pc? It would be nice to plan my route out, save it and then access it on my smartphone. This is already possible on mapquest ......

I want to report hazards & closures even after i drove past it. like hold my finger on a location and report there.
I like to report things but by the time i open my waze app, i already drove a few blocks. And waze doesn't let me report anything 3 blocks back. Why can't I click on the map and pick the exact location?

Implement U-turn navigation instruction and ability to allow u-turns at intersection.
In exUSSR countries it is a common practice to use u-turn. Traffic lights at major intersections may have special arrow to allow only left turns and u-turns. But currently Waze cannot use this feature to build optimal route.

A way the app utilizes the contact list better, currently it doesn't find some of my contacts. I would have to manually enter the address.
I tried putting in several different ways to my location which was a daycare. My contact which stated daycare would not pull up even if i specifically have it look in contacts. As well as when i entered the name of the daycare it pulls up a location several hundred miles away, when the closest one was 3 miles
1 voteMake sure that in your contact list the address is indicated in the proper field of your contact profile.

Time Based Restrictions, can we make this happen guys?
"No left turn between 7am and 10 am."
"Do not enter between 3pm and 6pm."There are thousands of these signs in hundreds of cities all over the US. Can't we allow for local map editors to save time based restrictions into the map?

Add the option to Select the Car Pool Lane when determining routes
Add the option to select the Car Pool Lane when determining the quickest routes. In los angeles and other major cities we have a lot of car pool lanes that do not connect that should be factored into possible routes. Waze already tracks the speed in carpool lanes but does not factor that in when determining quickest route because there is no option to tell it whether you have multiple passengers or not.

The ability to use coordinates
It'd be great to be able to take coordinates from Waze and send them via email OR copy them to another app. OR, be able to copy coordinates into Waze from a website or other app.

Add a traffic bar to map
Have a "Traffic Bar" that appear in the routes screen overlayed on the main map.
add a car to the bar that moves along with your journeys completion.
So when you are 85 percent home, the car has moved 85 percent up the bar.Also when the Bar-Car (Maybe we should think of a better name) gets near an event an audible alert gets triggered, like when you near a Cop it could say “Oh cock, its the Rozzers!” Or just “Police reported ahead”) Or when you are near a obstacle on road you could be warned – e.g. “Johnny…

Change "Avoid Highways" to "Avoid Freeways"
The current "Avoid Highways" preference in the client is essentially useless because it includes even "Minor Highways" which is poorly defined. The category includes even very small country roads that happen to be designated State highways - hardly in the same category as freeways and therefore not useful as a routing distinction.
On the other hand, "Avoid Highways" is a very useful option for users who would like to use the Waze route optimization features, but without the stress and other factors that come with Freeway driving.

Temporary HOV/Carpool lanes
If I'm in a 2+ vehicle, it would be nice if a route preferred HOV lanes. In my area, there is a "temporary" HOV lane which has a different direction in morning and evening. (See US-93 between Boston and Braintree MA)
20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

re-route based on upcoming traffic conditions / congestions
While waze does show upcoming traffic condition on one's route it does not provide facility to automatically re-route the traveler around traffic congestion using surface streets or alternate highway/freeway.
This is essential to optimizing waypoint ordering/priority:
This ought be available in other-than a binary toggle (yes or no). While yes and no are suitable broad options, waze ought provider finer grained control of re-routing as it does now (faster or shorter). These should include
(1) time windows
(2) zones / areas
(3) specific roads / highways / freeways
(4) density of other Wazers
(5) using either / both wazer…

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.
