Tracking stop signs and stop lights
In addition to "Difficult intersection" it would be very handy for two features:
1) Waze's map to record if there are stop signs (2, 4 way), and lights at an intersection. This would (hopefully) include separate turn signals; some intersections are VERY difficult to turn left at even with a light, for example.2) A setting for navigation (in the app) for "Avoid unguarded turns/intersections". This would then allow a driver to NOT have to turn left across 6 lanes of traffic, for example, as the app would know there was no light at that crossing (or even going directly…

Automate road closure Report
It is difficult to report road closures in real time - especially on a freeway - because of the approach speed and unexpected driving adjustment. If Waze inquired why I missed a turn/off-on ramp it would be helpful. This is similar to when Waze asks "you slowed down - are you in traffic?" If Waze notices that I missed a turn/off-on ramp it should ask "you missed a turn- was there a road closure ?" This way I can report later ( give me 60 secs) when safe. If I just missed the turn because I was distracted or chose…

Search results not close to my location.
Usually, the first few search results are hundreds or even thousands of kilometres / miles from my location. Search results should default to the closest to me, unless I add more details on the search location, like town/city.

Autodetect closures and closed roads
Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.
Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed…

Search bar on Waze app when using Android auto
When using Android auto, Waze app on the phone is disabled except for popping up with the search bar to enable phone-typing of addresses. Could you add the search bar on the "Using Waze on Android Auto" screen by default on the phone app to make it quicker to get to the phone keyboard instead of having to first click search on Android auto and then being redirected to the phone to type addresses

Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

Detour update
I use Waze everytime I travel. It's a great app and very user friendly. However when it sends you on a detour (ex: because of construction or an accident ahead), it should say why it's changed (why your taking a detour) your original path. I was traveling by myself over night and didn't take the detour, because I was uncomfortable and unfamiliar with the detour it suggested) to take and got stuck in a construction traffic jam.

Voice search button for destinations using apple carplay.
Carplay voice input was taken away (microphone icon). I can no longer search via voice for directions to any place. Now I can only use iphone maps or google maps. Seems strange to remove a vital feature as now I cannot get directions to places with my voice.

When we're rerouted to avoid congestion it would really be helpful to get a brief reason.
When Waze reroutes us to avoid congestion, it would be very helpful if it could briefly announce "rerouting due to congestion" or words to that effect so we'll know that the apparently strange new route isn't the result of an inadvertent electronic "hiccup."

Allow me to define my daily commute route and show a look-ahead summary of any speed traps or accidents for entire route
When I leave to go to or from work, I would just like to see a summary that tells me if there are any speed traps or accidents along the route. Distance to the incident would be a plus, as would an audible alert when I am within a mile or two. I ride a motorcycle so interacting with the waze app while riding is impossible.

Search Suggestions
When performing search for any point of interest, Waze returns suggestions as you type. Those suggestions are presented in weirdest order. It doesn't show distance and sometimes can suggest location that is completely different state while in reality there is one close by.

filter places by distance and open.
my idea is to add new filter in the search which will be very helpful for all the clients,
1 - we will ask all the places to put the open time, for example on Sunday we open from 8:00 tell 17:00.
2- new search filter will be added to the clients which will give them the ability to search by category and closed place and open at spastic time.i will give an example:
now its 23:30 and i need a particular drug,
And I need the nearest and open pharmacy at this time,
so the filter which i…4 votesThank you for your valuable feedback. We're pleased to confirm that this suggestion is planned and we appreciate your input as we continue to enhance our product.

BRING BACK THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!
It used to be that if you said "navigate to Walmart" in Android Auto it would show a list of nearby walmarts and you could chose the correct one. Now it just routes you to some random one that is often not even close to the one you intended. It routed me to a Top Golf 8h away once when the one I was trying to get to was 10min. Its like they are trying to get people off the app deleting critical functions.

Search - Improve Results with Google Results (Android Auto)
Often when searching for a full address in Waze, it at times produces a list of random street names of which the one you entered is often down the list for some reason... this is especially true when using Android Auto. On the phone, you can often click "Google" Results tab that will lock on the address right way but on Android Auto this is not an option...
It would be nice if there was any confusion with an address or if Waze does not know what it is that they would automatically fall back to Google on Android Auto…

Heads up
Warning of reason for new route: when traveling, we sometimes receive notices of alternate routes, that we then may accept of reject. However, sometimes, we simply are directed to a new route without any explanation or reason. We have found that ignoring the direction can result in significant delays. Why does Waze not give a heads up with an explanation for suggesting a new route in ALL circumstances?
