Improve Start direction from parked
Improve Start direction from parked. I often dont see whether to leave parking lot towards left or right. I see it is difficult to program. But would be very very helpful.

Animate rotary (traffic circle or roundabout) junctions
Animate the car icon when travelling around rotary junctions. Please.
At present the map swings around when travelling around a rotary junction. It can be easy to miss an exit when using rotary junctions with many exits. The moving map, as it swings around can cause confusion when to exit.
Other vendors have overcome this issue by keeping the map orientation fixed to the direction of travel across the rotary junction and instead animating the car icon moving around the rotary junction on the map. This makes it very easy to see when your exit is nearby.4 votes -

Motorcycle Horizontally Mounted Phone
Dear Waze Team,
I use Waze on my motorcycle and would like to make two suggestions to improve Waze for all motorcyclists. I mount my phone horizontally on my motorcycle handlebar. But the problem I experienced with the phone being mounted horizontally is that the map on Waze is not completely visible.
The search destination bar at the botton of the screen is covering a lot of the map when there is no destination entered. Would it be possible to make a small enter destination button at the side of the screen for example below or above the speedometer instead…

Thanks/Not There
Instead of having the alert (example “Vehicle Stopped) and then the two options (Thanks / Not There)… you should have Thanks on top, the alert in the middle, and not there on the bottom. This will reduce accidental misreporting. We’re trying to drive and can’t stare at the screen. Help us help you. 😀

Personal features layer
Adding map features requires approval/access/high enough map editor level.
I suggest adding support for a 'personal' layer in Waze.
On that, everybody can add anything, change anything, without restrictions, but will only show for you (your account / the Waze on your phone / ...)From the Waze perspective, that allows you to mine for information harder to get, to be potentially shown on a 'Community' layer or even the main map (after maybe some extra vetting)
For example, you can mine all the 'Personal' layers for things by looking for features that multiple people, independent of each other, add…

Change the Exit color
Some exits are placed on top right corner with yellow/ green background. It always requires a double look . Which is hazardous at times. Please change it to old style.

Navigation interruption
When receiving a Botim or WhatsApp call while driving, Waze gets pushed to the background, interrupting map navigation. To prevent this, please add support for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. Additionally, if you re-open Waze after a call, it forces you to re-search the destination; the app should instead save the active trip and resume navigation automatically.
Suggested Fixes:
* Implement Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode so the map remains visible during calls.
* Ensure active navigation state is preserved so trips don't need to be restarted manually.3 votes -
Sinais de Transito
Observei a pouco tempo um recurso no mapa lançado recentemente pelo app da 99, que mostra um temporizador do sinal a frente na rota, achei super interessante e percebi que isso pode ajudar bastante na mobilidade dos veículos nas grandes cidades.
Como sempre utilizo o waze nas minhas navegacoes resolvi sugerir a vocês sobre essa implementação no mapa de navegação, e aproveitar perguntar se existe a possibilidade dessa melhoria.3 votes -

The Menu used to br on the left side with the settings on the lower rif

Please add a “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.
Please add a persistent “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.
If a driver repeatedly deviates from the suggested route, Waze should respect that choice instead of continually re-routing them back onto the same road. Drivers often have local or real-time safety knowledge that the algorithm cannot detect.
This would improve safety, especially on narrow roads or blind corners.

Nomes das ruas atrapalham e poluem a navegação.
Os nomes das ruas , muitas vezes, sobrepõem a seta de negação atrapalhando e dificultando a navegação. Poderia ter um opção de ocultar os nomes das ruas pra tornar a navegação mais limpa.

On the car screen the Exit Route Button is on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Exit Route Button on in car screen is located on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Also the same for the button used to report things on the road.
The less time a driver looks away from the road the better, and looking and reaching farther away is never a good thing.

Feature Suggestion: “Group Ride / Buddy Mode” for Safer and More Connected Travel
To the Waze Team,
Good day! I am a longtime Waze user, and I truly appreciate how your app continues to innovate in keeping drivers safe and informed. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience of many users, especially those who travel together.
I would like to propose a “Group Ride Mode” or “Buddy Mode” where users traveling as a group such as friends, families, and motorcycle convoys can see each other in real time directly on the Waze map. Many riders and drivers often travel together, and having this integrated…

“See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”
Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to…3 votes -
I would like to see saved places as icons on the map, not just in the list.
I would like to see saved places as icons on the map, not just in the list, like icons home and work. Sygic, Google Maps already have this feature.

Add traffic like icons to your maps like Google Maps.
Google Maps has traffic light icons on their maps which is very useful when deciding what intersection to use, especially when making a left hand turn in heavy traffic areas. I don't understand why this feature is not offered since Waze is under the Google umbrella.

Please add stop lights.
Please add stop lights. They help when I'm not driving on the highway and especially when I'm driving in the city. I count how many stop lights I have so I know exactly where to turn and don't feel consistently lost.
