I used to be able to provide traffic and hazard data for the "other side." These disappeared in a recent revision. Please restore.
It is really the restoration of a former option - reporting a traffic jam or traffic hazard on the other side of the road.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Remove annoying ads during navigation
Remove annoying ads during navigation. They appear while stopped, but sometimes they don't disappear when you start moving again. Very annoying and unsafe.

ambulance
What if the ambulance drivers was using Waze as well and I got a message or a siren on my waze as the ambulance approached the location where I was. I would know that there was an ambulance coming on my way and i could pull over in order to let it pass through.
I have no idea about Waze database, but I am sure it is not small. I believe it could be very helpfull to all parties: ambulance would reach hospital fasters; patients would not have the risk to be in traffice and get treatment faster; driver would…

Traffic Delays- "other side" option
When there are traffic delays on the other side of the road, there should be an option to select "other side"

Remove ads for editors with 3 or more cones
While ads are understandable to offset the costs of the servers and support necessary to make the app a successful one, it would seem that those who volunteer a healthy amount of time to edit the map should be exempt from viewing them, since they are already contributing to the Waze app. I suggest 3 or more cones, as this takes more time than just a week of editing, and would narrow down the pool enough that it wouldn't have much effect on Waze's advertising base.

Keep C-3PO forever!!
Allow for purchase of premium voices like Arnold and C-3PO!! The regular voices are boring. I would gladly pay a few bucks to get the better voices.
26 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

Jaguar
Jaguar Land Rover InControl Apps full integration please!!!
359 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding InControl support, since Waze works with both CarPlay and AndroidAuto, which should be available in most car models. Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram.

private roads
Add an option like "Allow only private roads I have driven" or "Allow only private roads in my address book" so that Waze will avoid private rounds for which a user is not authorized.

Paid Voice after Free Period Ends
We loved having Stephen Colbert as our chosen voice on Waze. We want to suggest offering the limited voices for payment after the free period ends. We absolutely would pay to keep Stephen on our Waze. You have a lot of Wazers. If a portion purchased for $.99 or $1.99 each voice, it could add up. It would make your customers happy and earn you some revenue.

Addind a "Facing the opposite direction" button
When I get to the car, many times Waze suggest a route in the oposite direction of how the car is parked. This causes a major time loss as the app needs time to realize I'm headind the opposite way, recalculate and offer a new route. Therefore a banner "facing the opposite lane?" is necessary and would upgrade the app signifully.
Sorry for my English.19 votesThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the Car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -
please bring the arnie voice back
Please bring arnie back as all the voices are really annoying and put me off driving. I would be happy to pay a subscription fee for this service.

ALWAYS starts me going the wrong way...
I have never once started Waze and had it tell me that I'm going in the direction my car is facing. There is no way to turn my car around when this happens (on the map) and sometimes because I can't do that, it makes it dangerous because I'm messing around with trying to figure out where to go. THIS is the single most annoying thing about Waze.

Waze for Emergency vehicles.
Not for the common Waze market. But might be useful for Public safety and emergency situations. Give the "ambulance"(example) Waze and it can help alert all other vehicles of the incoming emergency vehicle and its route. Also it can help navigate the Emergency vehicle to easier routes.

Hazard Locations
Hazards are currently listed as "on my side" or "the other side". Many hazards are in the median - I'd like to see that as an option.

Add the ability to create 'Here' as a favourite
Not all destinations have a clear address or you want to be able to use a specific entrance. It would be great if when adding a favourite Waze would let you select the place you are right now. Most GPS allow this feature.
