Speed limit multiple beeps for alerts when speed limit is exceeded.
I would love to have multiple beep sound when you exceed the speed limit, different beep options would be nice for user preferences

Avoiding Traffic notification
Can you add a notification sound or announcement letting drivers know when Waze is avoiding traffic or hazards?
The reason is that sometimes Waze will prompt you to take a route that seems to make no sense, and I'm tempted to say no. If Waze would just say something like "Take the next exit, avoiding traffic," it would be much easier to understand why.

navigate from within the site
Hi it would be great if we can use the website to navigate and not just through the app as occasionally I want to check the best route for one of the kids while I'm in the office.

Bathroom Finder on Route
Have an obvious button and/or a voice command to display (and when selected, route to) public bathrooms along your route. In settings, you should be able to select categories, like "rest area," "gas station or restaurant with restrooms," and distance from route (either in time or miles), etc. in order to establish a default search and display when the "show restrooms" switch is toggled.
1 voteSearch by key words would help here. Just type “Restroom” or “Toilet” and Waze will find the locations nearby.

Ability to turn off "tool bars". ie. Carpool, My Waze, and Search bars
We need a way to turn off these tool bars if not being used.
They make this app mostly unusable, especially in landscape orientation, as they take up a large part of the screen.
I don't carpool, i dont need the search bar on when I'm driving. Same for My Waze.
Just a small button to access this would be fine.
Please make a way to turn these off.2 votesThanks for your suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation.

Can't listen to radio and use Waze if I have bluetooth
Please, give me a way to have my phone connected to my car's bluetooth, listen to the radio, AND hear Waze prompts through my phone's audio! Apparently you used to have a "Prefer Bluetooth" toggle that I could turn off, but it doesn't exist in the version I have. Why would you get rid of this? Now my choices are silence from Waze while I listen to the radio, dead silence in the car until I get a Waze prompt, or turn off Bluetooth completely so that Waze will play through my phone speakers.

Screen dimming or even shutdown when the vehicle stops
Wase. Please create a screen dimming (or even shutdown) when the vehicle stops and automatically reactivate when moving again. This would be very good for nature (energy saving) and for increasing privacy and security inside the vehicle.

Reporting Buttons
Hi. I have been using Waze successfully for a while now, and find it really great until it comes to reporting. The most reported incidents, I'm guessing, are Roadworks, Accidents, Road Closures and Police.
It would be great if you could put a direct button on the reporting menu for all of the above, as It's hard to get to report roadworks as there are a couple of menus to go through.1 voteBy holding or swiping the Reports button you’re able to bring up the 3 most used report types for faster reports. You’re also able to use voice reporting using Google Assistant.

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.

I would really like to see Waze available in CarPlay Split Screen
Now that this functionality has been made available it would be really good to be able to use Waze in Split Screen so that I can see Music and Waze rather than Music and Apple Maps and therefore have to revert back to Full Screen for Waze.

Remove/Change New "Permanent" Bottom Address Bar
Please make the new bottom search bar on navigation screen disappear once you start a trip. Or take it away all together.
It’s blocking too much of the screen.
Sometimes people just want the map without inputting a destination.
