Adding distance and time till the cross border
It would be great, if the user picks a route that crosses the border, than the application shows additionally the approximate time and distance till the border and not only the time and distance till the end point.
It's due to the fact that crossing some borders it self take additional time, and that the prices for fuel differ in different countries. It would help managing when you need to refill the car, and in which country.
Just two numbers: time till border, distance till border.

Better CarPlay display
Dear Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a small but meaningful UI improvement to enhance user experience.
Currently, the box displaying the estimated arrival time, remaining minutes, and distance is located in the bottom left corner of the screen. Unfortunately, this area often overlaps with alerts and notifications, especially when there are multiple incidents or warnings, making it difficult to quickly view key travel information.
Would it be possible to relocate this box to the top right corner of the screen or offer customizable placement in the settings? This change would greatly improve visibility and reduce distraction while driving.
Thank…

Autodetect closures and closed roads
Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.
Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed…

Time based lane guidance
Atm you can't set Lane Guidance based on time. Unfortunately this is an inconvenience in places like Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where certain lanes change depending on the time of the day.

Make visual improvements
Make visual improvements, especially in detours, exits, etc. to make it more visually attractive. In many applications there is a 3D view of exits, detours, etc., which is very clear and visually appealing.

Ability to Create a Custom Route on Waze
I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to create a custom route — not just by choosing from preset options, but by selecting specific roads or waypoints to shape the path they want to follow.
For example, I often travel between two cities, and while Waze suggests two or three routes, none of them match the one I actually prefer — an alternative road with a divided highway that takes the same amount of time but offers a much better driving experience.

Sound off until 5 mins before arrival (or any chosen time or exit).
Sound off until 5 mins before arrival (or any chosen time or exit). This is good if you live locally and don’t need to hear sound until just before you get to the location.

App upgrade
Subject: Proposal for a Feature Idea to Improve Waze User Experience
Hello,
I have a unique idea that I believe could significantly enhance the Waze app and contribute meaningfully to the overall user experience. I'm interested in discussing a potential collaboration or licensing arrangement before sharing any specific details.
Could you please direct me to the appropriate contact person or department for such matters?Thank you for your time and consideration,

Suggestion to move or remove an icon from the map.
I admit that there is no problem if the phone is in a holder on the windshield. But out of excessive zeal, the police require the removal of the phone from the field of vision. That's why I keep it lying on top of the gearshift console. I really wish I could move that icon. In gears 1-4 it is reasonable to follow the map. But at cruising speed, the gearshift lever is fixed in front of the "road".
I am looking forward to the new update, maybe something will change!
Thanks in advance,

Stop changing routes automatically while I'm driving!
Waze needs to stop AUTOMATICALLY changing my route on me. It's frustrating especially when I chose the non-toll route on the way back. Then I look at the app and it's showing the route I did NOT choose!!

Possible warning for overhead obstruction in areas with low hanging trees?
In the south where there are many oak lined roads, branches overhang the roadways. When trucks come through, it is often that their loads catch these limbs, especially after a rain.

Waze freezes up on everything!
Every time I put in an address, it takes ways forever to populate. I tapped the screen numerous times Once A populates a suggestion if it’s one from my contact it will never update even after 30 seconds of that address of where to go to Waze freezes up all the times on input stage and sometimes doesn’t even get you to the map to go to where you wanna go. This has been happening for over a year now and Waze has not corrected the issue even with software updates and have the most up-to-date iOS on my phone…

Type of place: Motorcycle parking lot
Parking for motorcycles
When I ride a motorcycle, I often can't use paid parking.
The problem is that the entrance gate doesn't open, or I'm directed to a locked parking lot.
I'd like to be able to set whether motorcycles are allowed in the parking type settings, and to map parking lots for motorcycles only.
After all, there's a motorcycle mode.

Do not stop navigation when unplugging from Android Auto
When you unplug the phone from the car, Waze will stop the current navigation and forget the route.
This can happen for a variety of reasons such as making a pit stop, or even a flaky usb port.
If you need to continue the route, you need to re set the destination, and for this you need internet access. If you are in the middle of nowhere with no internet, you are screwed.
Google Maps doesn't forget the current navigation when the phone unplugs from the car. The navigation should be stopped only if the user stops it manually.

Voice navigation instructions based on traffic lights and stop signs.
Apple Maps would say “At the next light turn left” or “At the stop sign turn right” or “Go past this light, and at the next one, turn left” which is very useful and helps me make turns at the right intersection, especially if two streets are close to each other.
