Adding the option for a visual timer
It would be so helpful to have an integrated visual timer on the map. My child has a disability and visuals are so important to our daily life. I find myself toggling back and forth when using navigation and it can be difficult to manually adjust the time when there’s traffic or other delays. Having an integrated visual timer would be so helpful to families like ours!

Radar Traject Control android auto
When you use Android Auto you can't see how long Radar Traject Control is or when it is finished. (green bar when you use Waze on smartphone)
It could be nice to implement it (below the traject info) in Waze Android auto.
I use an samsung phone and ride with an Peugeot 203

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel…

option to disable the "This route is x faster than this other route"
Currently, after choosing a destination in Waze, it will also tell you that the route it's telling you is faster than some other route.
Why is theere a need to tell me that the current route is 6 minutes, 10 minutes, 17 minutes faster than the other route? It's a waste of time waiting for it to stop describing the slower route's time and streets/highways.
I would like an option to disable the post-selection vocal description of slower routes.

Average speedcheck or traffic jam progress bar in horizontal mode or when using android auto
Currently the progress bar is only available in vertical mode.
If you hold you phone horizontal the progress bar goes away. For traffic jams this is not really a big problem. But when driving through an average speed check, it is handy to see how far along the average speed check you are. There is also no notification at the end of an average speed check. This would already make it a lil handier to hear when an average speed check zone has ended.12 votesHey,

Be able to show an accident or hazard for the opposite side of the road. Many times, we'll see it on the opposite side.

ALWAYS display the destination address please! It helps when driving for Lyft & Uber.
If it's always displayed I won't have to switch off the waze app and go to my Lyft or Uber app to verify address. PLEASE include in next update! It can be a SAFETY HAZARD! Thank you!

Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer.
Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer: Green = route traversed by another Wazer no longer than 2 minutes ago; yellow = 2 to 5 minutes; red = no Wazer traffic within the last 5 minutes.

map legend
How about a map legend (or explanation)? I'm not sure what some of the symbols (like the red-and-white striped bar) mean, or how the road colors are defined

Indicate both start and end of roadworks / traffic
For users that mark the beginning or roadworks / traffic, leave up an icon that they can press to indicate the end of the traffic. From this, work out how long it took me to get through the zone and pass on the info to other users.

Android Auto interface, select destination on map
When long-tapping the Waze for Android Auto map, a location marker appears and the road is highlighted and that's all.
I would like a "navigate to point" popup to appear, similar to google maps. Without this, it is not possible to navigate to a point highlighted on the map.9 votesHey,

Disable irrelevant ads POI
I understand ads are the most important thing in your business model, but wouldn't it be better to have targeted ads?
Please allow us to disable irrelevant ads. I'm sick of seeing fast food POIs. I won't go, ever! Give me fancy restaurants instead!

Mark overtaking lanes on back roads / B road highways
On minor highways (in Australia at least) they are often one lane in either direction, with the occasional overtaking lane being two lanes in one direction, one in the other.
These can be 10km+ apart and aren’t signposted until they are close.
It would be nice to colour indicate these lanes on the map so the driver/passenger can see if it is worth waiting to overtake a vehicle in the single lane road or wait until the safer overtaking lane9 votesThanks for your feedback.

Traffic alerts
I think I will be a good idea for the app to have traffic alerts. Not just saying traffic reported ahead. Based on the speed limit the app to tell you to slow down because of traffic. It will be extremely useful on highways. For example, a kilometer ahead to display/announce such warning and recommendation to slow down. Therefore, drivers will not have to stop abruptly and accidents might be prevented.
