Sometimes screen gets grayed out after some alert pops up and I become unable to tap and move the map
When an alert pops up, the map gets grayed out, and after it closes out, sometimes the map stays grayed out forever, so it is inaccessible and I cannot scroll it to see the route ahead. The only way of fixing this is by closing Waze, removing the running app from the memory and opening Waze again, and then it needs to recalculate the route.

Allow the same place to be set as HOME and WORK
I (and I guess several other waze users) work and live at the same building/address. Home office or shared use, it doesn't matter. There could be an option to set them as the same place.

add prompt to go straight at intersection
at the moment, the default navigation of waze says nothing when you're supposed to go straight through an intersection. this is problematic in cases where after a long straight there are two intersections closely after one another and sometimes it is tough to guess how many '800/400/200metres' actually are, so you end up turning one turn too soon.

Expose detailed route data on Web dashboard
It'd be great to have specific route times-of-day - not just duration. It would be very useful to compare routes, or the same route, over the course of the day. Perhaps I could learn when would be the best time to start my commute.

Change the way Waze avoids tolls
Waze does not work well to route to locations that require a toll if you have the avoid tolls setting on.
My current understanding is that waze chooses the route with the fewest segments marked as toll segments. Instead it should count a continuous segment without exits or intersections as one toll and choose the fastest route.

Day / Night detemination in New Zealand
Day / Night / Auto mode observation: I am in New Zealand. I have noticed that the waze iOS app thinks that it is night time until 12noon when Waze suddenly realises that it is the middle of the day and that it should really be displaying day time mode.
This suggests to me that the algorithm associated with determining day/night time is not properly considering timezones.
The apps should be taking local time, and only local time to determine day/night mode. And allowinging in sunride/sunset should be region sensitive.The fact that it currently changes at 12noon does suggest…

I used to be able to scroll ahead on the map. I can't do that now. Is there some setting I need to change?

Popup messages for multiple road reports
On the way home tonight, Waze alerted me to several road problems ahead (police, stopped vehicles, etc.). The reports were in such close succession (less than a mile apart) that the popup message for the first report was still on screen when the popup message for the second report appeared. Unfortunately, the second popup was on top so I could no longer see any information about the first report. When displaying multiple popup messages simultaneously, Waze should layer them such that the hazard in closest proximity to you is on top, followed by the next closest, and so on. This…

QR Car Adhesive
Hello! I'm from Brazil and I would like to suggest to Waze create a type of QR car adhesive in order to expand the relationship with those are stuck in the traffic. This adhesive could be the image of the users avatar's. The driver pick-up the QR code in the car nearby from him, take a pic and than, post it in waze. Waze get's the contact and let they talk. It could solve a problem of mine, cause every time I wonder somebody is near of me, just to get in touch, they disappear from my screen.

Make "on my route" the default tab for reports
It seems that people would be more interested in reports that are on their route instead of around me. You can save us all a click by making on my route the default tab.

Can the CHP app be part of waze?
I like to find out the progress of accidents on the road with the CHP app and have often thought about hitting the accident icon and getting the CHP report in waze.
