Waze app bug - super annoying
app runs in background after disconnecting from Apple CarPlay. Please fix this! It’s a battery killer, and super annoying to have to manually close after every trip. It’s enough to uninstall the app.

Alert popup windows cover vital information
On android auto, the alert popup windows cover vital information such as time to reach destination and which lane to pick at the next crossroad. This is very annoying and potentionaly dangerous.
This does not happen on the phone display, even thought it is much smaller then the cars display.Could this be fixed so that the popup window would not cover other informations?
Thank you

Emphasize searching by business address during user onboarding.
As a volunteer editor, I deal with many URs that involve what the user perceives to be "incorrect" address navigation. I frequently find myself advising reporters to search by business name instead of address, because the business PP is generally more accurate than the HN. It would be great if this could be added to the tips that are shown to a new user when they first run the app. I think this would reduce user frustration because they likely expect navigation to the building like in GMaps when they enter an address. They don't realize they are being taken…

Feux tricolores / Trafic lights
De nombreux Wazers, comme moi, utilisent les feux tricolores en panne, pour signaler des feux de travaux.
Many Wazers, like me, use broken traffic lights to signal construction traffic lights.1 vote -
Move Over or Slow Down
Instead of saying "Look out, vehicle on shoulder ahead," can the alert instead say 'Move over or slow down, vehicle on shoulder ahead.' Most states have move over laws and we want drivers moving over or slowing down for roadside vehicle situations. 'Look out' is not only jarring and uninformative, it lacks guidance and direction on what action drivers should take.

Trust based system for report longevity
Hi Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest adding a trust-based system to improve the accuracy of reports. The idea is that users who consistently receive upvotes on their reports could have their future reports trusted for a longer duration by default. This would reward reliable contributors while reducing the impact of inaccurate or spam reports.
For example, if a user frequently provides reports that receive positive feedback, their new reports could remain visible longer before requiring additional confirmations. Conversely, reports from users with a lower trust score could require more confirmations sooner.
I believe this could enhance the reliability of…

Longer lasting in lower population
Potholes, hazards, construction and other things similar to this should remain on the map longer in lower populated areas as there are less people to upvote these. People shouldn't have to report the same pothole several times a day, these need to have a higher default lasting time and take into consideration the Waze user density in that area.

BMW műszerfal kijelzőn hasznos volna a navigációsutasítások megjelenítése
Remek, hogy a térkép megjelenik a BMW műszerfal kijelzőn, de hasznos volna a navigációs utasítások és jelentések megjelenítése rajta.

Add a HOT/HOV lane on-screen toggle
Please add an on-screen toggle when the HOT/HOV lane is coming up. Many people have different times they use the lanes. For instance, I always use the HOV lane when I have another passenger, but obviously never use it when I am alone. For the HOT lane, I only use it if the cost is under a couple dollars. I've seen it go up in the teens, and that is way too much. I only make these decisions while already driving because I'm not thinking about them at the start of the trip in the suburbs. If I'm driving alone,…

Pedestrian crosswalks as a hazard (For crosswalks with no stop signs)
There are some crosswalks with no stop signs. I believe this would make crosswalks easier to spot when more obvious signals are not present (stop signs, lights, etc)

Velocímetro
Posição do velocímetro é prejudicada pela mensagem de ocorrência de "RADAR'.
A visualização do velocímetro fica prejudicada, ou até mesmo encobertada pela mensagem enorme alertando sobre RADAR'.
Solução proposta é permitir, nas próximas atualizações, que o usuário escolha a melhor posição do Velocímetro no mapa. Ou que o mesmo
seja flutuante.Obrigado e aguardo.

Vehicle icons too big
Car icons way too large since recent update. Makes it extremely difficult to see roads and the general map. Nobody asked for extra large vehicle icons that look so cartoonish...please revert back!

Alternate route display should follow the setting for "Keep map north up"
If "Keep map north up" is off then alternate routes should be displayed with my position at the bottom of the screen.
This will make it easier to visualise alternate routes relative to my current position.
Also applies to the app but I'm only able to select one category.

Danger Zone
Cameras are placed in known danger zones.
Usually the danger is within 100m either side of the camera.
Sometimes it is not allowed to plot cameras.
But a general warning - danger zone in 200m - would be useful.3 votes -
Ignore Traffic Option for Real Time Road Closures
For Real Time Road Closures, please add the option to "Ignore segment traffic". Currently if there is any traffic detected on a Closed segment, the Closure will be put into Suspend mode. This can be problematic since some Waze users choose to ignore a closure, because they can't "see" any backed up traffic due to the closure, and will cause the closure to be paused until enough traffic has been stopped behind the closure and the segment detects no more movement. By then the closure should have been in place warning Waze users well ahead of time to find an…

Screensaver
In Ontario/Canada as per Highway & Traffic Act, it is illegal to use smartphone/device without hands free operation, and police have stated that submitting status info on apps such as Waze is illegal as per Act and grounds for ticket for not driving “hands free”. Fine for doing so (and using Waze) and distracted driving is currently over $600-800 and 3’demerit points.
Of course I observe police cruisers driving with hands on computer console violating traffic act.
It would be great to have a screensaver (blank screen or other) that could be quickly toggled on Waze display (phone and/or CarPlay)…
