Addind a "Facing the opposite direction" button
When I get to the car, many times Waze suggest a route in the oposite direction of how the car is parked. This causes a major time loss as the app needs time to realize I'm headind the opposite way, recalculate and offer a new route. Therefore a banner "facing the opposite lane?" is necessary and would upgrade the app signifully.
Sorry for my English.

Thank you for this suggestion.
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.

It's 2018 and Waze STILL OPERATES THIS WAY and it's the one thing about it that makes me the most frustrated. @WAZE PROGRAMMERS - scratch down a note in memory about the travel direction for arrival, just previous to shutting down the app, and then use that to predict the departing direction when the app starts.
While this is simply annoying when I'm on a sleepy suburban street, it's absolutely maddening when it does this to me in Boston with it's 1-way streets and choppy GPS reception. Even when I begin driving sometimes it takes so long to recalculate that I miss a street that I should have taken to make my trip easier/faster.
PLEASE TRIAGE THIS AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST AND FIX THIS ISSUE ALREADY. Thank you in advance!

They should remember what direction you were heading before parking. That way it should know which way you are facing.
