Notificatiosn need to be posted earlier in time to compensate for people who drive 70-80 mph on highway. That equates to almost a half mile
I will constantly get notifications after I have encountered them. Police, object on road, pothole, etc. Your system needs to make the adjustment for highway speed vehicles. At 80mph a half mile can go by in the 20 seconds it may take to post a notification. That is more than the length of time you offer the notifications...

Screen slide to reveal friends list feels very "trigger happy"
Have noticed it quite difficult to pan and zoom the live map without activating the "Friends" sliding drawer from the right side of the screen.

Report traffic lights with poor timing
I think there could be many benefits to reporting traffic lights with unapporpriate timing mechanisms, i.e. a light on a through street which turns red with great frequency when no cars or pedestrians are using the cross street. This holds up traffic unnecessarily and can cause further congestion. This information could be sold or provided to cities to help them use aggregate information to determine which lights potentially need to have their timing adjusted (Waze could aggregate the top 10 worst timed traffic lights in the city). This information could also be used internally by Waze to help provide the…

car icon at bottom of screen when north up map is selected no good.
For North up map preference, your car icon should be centered on the screen not at the bottom of the screen otherwise you cannot see your path when you are heading south as it quickly runs off the bottom of the screen

An option for user to accept or deny autocorrect in input fields
I love Waze, but the new version changed my last name and wouldn't let me change it back. My last name is Dong, and it kept changing it to Don't. It's kind of funny at first, but no longer after a while. Please give me an option to input my own name.

Police notifications after the spot
Wish there was a way to move the report location. Many times the police running radar are stopped at a location on the interstate. By the time I get to post the report I've traveled maybe up to a quarter to half mile past the spot. No use to those behind me.

wake from sleep option could use enhancement
I like that we have the sleep option now. But instead of automatically waking when you bring the app back to the foreground, I'd like an option to allow me to keep the app running but in sleep mode until I choose to wake it.

Put the GUI back to how it was in the previous version
The new user interface looks childish, but more critically you guys seem that have forgotten that the primary purpose of Waze is navigation. There's an empty grey bar hiding the bottom 10% of the map, and whenever a road feature comes up the top of the map gets hidden, meaning that a full third of the map is obscured. A phone screen is small enough as it is - with a third of the map hidden navigation becomes really difficult! To top it all off, there's no way of getting rid of the top banner - there's just a greyed-out…

Traffic condition ease up
A lot of times I'm going through roads that waze will say that the road is congested, when in fact the Traffic is already clear.
I would like to give the driver an option to notify Waze when going through a 'traffic cleared area' that the road is now clear again, also when Waze recognizes that the car has a greater speed as it was posted - Waze should send an automatic message to that Wazer asking how is your road condition 'slow/ heavy / standstill..?!
Please look into my request, I feel it will help a lot of drivers.

version 4.0
Like the new look, but: 1. Streets look too wide, they look like they've been skeched with a thick marker by a 5 year old. G-maps has a much cleaner look. 2. The zoom-in distance is too high, street names outside route are not visible, also street names are not very visible even without navigating.3. Night mode is extremely GREY, hard to distinguish streets (the night mode on 3.9.6 was way better, change it or let users choose between more options, right now i'm keeping it on day mode all the time), and only two colour schemes wich by the…
