Add restriction for thru traffic
The editor should offer a restriction against thru traffic. While standard guidance for these roads is to use "Private Road" type in the U.S., this road type is misleading, as many of these roads that prohibit thru traffic are in fact public roads.

Drive plus walk
Add option to find quickest route with additional walking. Many times waze navigates to exact location without taking into account faster route to near by location. I personally would rather walk an additional 100 meters to avoid sitting in traffic. This is especially warranted when using a taxi who relies on waze and additional cost is influenced by route. This feature can be an added route option without interfering with the basic platform most users prefer.

Waze can currently direct your partial walking route when it’s a part of a drive or carpool.
We are currently not planning on adding walking mode for complete routes.

The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.

This idea has been being discussed for a while and recognized as an important user request.
We hear the community’s voice and would like to share that while we can’t currently commit to a timeline, we do have plans to create a way to add more than one stop pre-drive.
We’ll keep the community posted, please stay tuned! -
Bring Back Promotional Voices
Please bring back promotional voices. The voices make the app fun and there hasn't been any for a while. As a lyft/Uber driver the voices are great conversation starters and my passengers really get a kick out of them. I would also like to be able to keep voices that I have downloaded for use at any time.
1 voteThank 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!

When @Home location, app assumes on drive not road and can choose left or right direction
Currently frequently when I select my destination when on my drive Waze will think I am on the road outside and send me in a massive loop that adds 6 minutes ot the journey.
When my journey may be left or right out of the drive depending on the traffic it then courses an unnecessary bias in the results.
IF I look at the route options I then will select the route that has been "discounted" to see if it was assuming the right turn that is not needed and therefore would be quicker.
The app should just assume in…

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. -

Thank 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.

Put favorites back in recent lineup.
I am a shuttle driver and put my route address in before starting so I can quickly access them after each pick-up. You took the ability to store favorites in the recent lineup so now i will have to delete all my favorites so i can use them in my recent lineup.
Please allow favorites to be stored in the recent lineup again?1 voteGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Actress/Actor voice as navigational voice.
Waze should improve their fame more and more!
why dont Waze use an actress/actor voice as navigational? and making money from it.
people should buy their fav actress/actor voice.. i bet it will be a bomb!
because mostly people get tired or sleepy sometime on the car. but if u use famous actor or u can say famous comedian with their own uniqueness it would be fun.
it can make people laugh you know.
This idea really popped in my mind. Hope waze agree with my Idea :D1 vote“Thank you for your suggestion!

Ad
Add an option that allows the location to be set first and then describing what it is; I.e., pot hole in the road. It's currently well past us before I can get thru all the option steps to put it on the map, so they don't not get on to help other drivers
