Show route shields in the current road name bubble (bottom of screen) during navigation instead of plain text route numbers
Currently in Waze, the current road name displayed at the bottom of the screen during navigation only shows plain text (e.g. “M1 - Monash Fwy”) without the road shield symbol while route shields already appear in other parts of Waze (map and directions), but not in the current road bubble, creating inconsistency.
This suggestion is to display the route number as a proper shield symbol within the current road name bubble, instead of it being in plain text with a hyphen next to it. This will help reduce the clutter in the current street name and allows more room for more text.
To fix this please display the route shield icon inline with the current road name. For example, instead of "M1 - Monash Fwy", show "🛡️(M1 shield symbol) Monash Fwy" only where a valid shield exists and maintain readability at all zoom levels and screen sizes.
