Ability to drive most direct route through busy traffic with no bypasses to side streets, would be great for us that use motorcycles in city
I often find the sat navy avoids traffic jams/heavy traffic...and takes me to side streets .not good for riding a motorcycle through London for example, when I can go through the traffic and use the main direct path...perhaps an option to go through heavy traffic routes!

Road Improvements & Increase Highway Lanes, Carpools
How many times have you traveled on a highway with consistent heavy traffic with empty space on either side and wondered, why don't they just add more lanes? [CA-237 San Jose]. Then you wonder how you can get your voice heard because everyone else is most likely thinking the same thing?
Or you go onto a heavy on ramp and wonder, there's room for carpool, but everyone is waiting into a single line, why don't they add it?
Or there is a pothole, but who to contact to fix? Or road improvement, or on ramp, off ramp are dangerously close…

Speaking road name/numbers in other languages
I am English living in Hungary. Waze in Hungarian does nor speak the road names/numbers. Since Hungarian is a phonetic language, it must be a relatively standard task to write the code for Hungarian.
I am not just blowing hot air - my partner is a phonetic linguist, and I do IT. So if you want to get this going, we could provide support.1 voteThank you for your suggestion! Waze now supports many local languages. Please check under Settings > General > Language.

"no right on red" avoidance -- avoiding choke points and "queue across intersection"
"No right on red" avoidance (mentioned in "choke buster") would avoid a route that includes arriving at a major road where traffic tends queue across the intersection during peak hours.
Waze could also detect and actively avoid or reroute detours around intersections where other fleet movement would indicate the intersection is not clearing traffic during each traffic light cycle.

"choke buster" mode aka (lambs to the slaughter) (also "no right on red" avoidance)
Problem: I see a lot of wazers all jump off the freeway or arterial route only to get stuck on the same surface streets.
I see this happen:
The scenario is heavy traffic on a major thoroughfare.
Several cars all take the same obscure turn off the main road (Geary) onto the tricky alternate route (eg. Steiner) only to end up fourth or tenth at a four way stop, effectively defeating the "short cut" and suddenly ETA upticks minute by minute. Aargh! : )So. I'd suggest Waze should monitor in real time as the "pulse" of traffic either flows…

Create area of interest around vehicle
Allow user to specify an area of interest around their car. This area of interest would have a circular shape and diameter would be in miles. The size of the diameter would be specified by the user. The user would then select alert types that they would like to receive within this area. For example, the user would like to be alerted if a police car enters this area. The police car could be behind them, and approaching them, beside them, on the other side of the road etc.... They could also request weather alerts that could indicate if a…

Enable/Diable Navigation
Currently i see only "Never" and "Always" as the navigation enable options on Iphone. Not sure why but i think there should be one more option which should be "While Using". This option is there on Google Maps but for some reason not on Waze. This will help phone battery or else we need to switch between enable and disable navigation to save our phone battery

Navigation using zip code
Israel now has seven digit postal zip codes. How about making it possible to enter the zip code rather than having to enter the full address, especially for non-Hebrew speakers who often have issues writing street names in English?
