Circulation restriction warning
I suggest you to add a warning reminding the drivers the restriction day for their cars. It would work as the "child warning", the driver would inform the system the day he/she cannot circulate with the car and in that day, the system would remind the driver while using waze on the specified day.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

Partial fix for website and Live Map
Your site would work a lot better if when you click Live Map, it did not try to show you the WHOLE USA! Either have it open to a .jpg/.png or nothing. Then ask for a zip code or region. It is simply too much for the servers to handle. On zooming in, it is still too much and it will not let you continue to zoom in until the page loads.

Get directions from Map Coordinates
Hi,
My name is Adrian Șulumberchean and I am the developer of Map Coordinates Android App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sands.mapCoordinates.android&referrer=utm_source%3Dwaze_suggestion). Inside Map Coordinates, I used a "Get Directions" option which takes the user to a third party navigation app and navigates him to the chosen location.
At the moment I use this url to open Google Maps Navigation: "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&daddr=45.1234,25.1234". Can you please also accept this url so that users will be able to navigate with any app they want?
Kind regards,
Adrian Şulumberchean

Improve routing.
Sometimes just because it shows a "faster" route, it doesn't necessarily mean it's safer. When using the app while driving with a ridesharing companies, is very important the routes takes you to traffic lights instead of cut corners through back roads that might lead you to either cross a heavy trafficking road or having to make a turn on a trafficking road/ intersection. Customers don't enjoy that too much because not only it's not that safe but also for them, it doesn't seem to be any "faster". Also while you at it, please make the navigation response much faster; it…

Use more straight roads
Very often instead of travelling on a straight road, waze often turn into small roads and later exit on to the same road further down in order to save a minute or two. What actually happen is , the time save is negligible, considering the difficulty in exiting the side road onto the main road. Sometimes it take considerable time and danger doing that, especially if you are turning right. It would be advisable to travel straight, unless it is a standstill massive jam. I have been using maze on Melbourne roads and it always try to use smaller roads…

Sugiro colocar MOTOCICLETA, como veiculo
muitos motociclistas acabam usando o waze como gps e acabam confundindo o waze pela velocidade que eles conseguem ir, ou seja, bem mais rapido que os carros e assim o waze acaba achando que o percurso está bom para o trânsito e na verdade não está.

Ability to drive most direct route through busy traffic with no bypasses to side streets, would be great for us that use motorcycles in city
I often find the sat navy avoids traffic jams/heavy traffic...and takes me to side streets .not good for riding a motorcycle through London for example, when I can go through the traffic and use the main direct path...perhaps an option to go through heavy traffic routes!

Road Improvements & Increase Highway Lanes, Carpools
How many times have you traveled on a highway with consistent heavy traffic with empty space on either side and wondered, why don't they just add more lanes? [CA-237 San Jose]. Then you wonder how you can get your voice heard because everyone else is most likely thinking the same thing?
Or you go onto a heavy on ramp and wonder, there's room for carpool, but everyone is waiting into a single line, why don't they add it?
Or there is a pothole, but who to contact to fix? Or road improvement, or on ramp, off ramp are dangerously close…

Speaking road name/numbers in other languages
I am English living in Hungary. Waze in Hungarian does nor speak the road names/numbers. Since Hungarian is a phonetic language, it must be a relatively standard task to write the code for Hungarian.
I am not just blowing hot air - my partner is a phonetic linguist, and I do IT. So if you want to get this going, we could provide support.1 voteThank you for your suggestion! Waze now supports many local languages. Please check under Settings > General > Language.

"no right on red" avoidance -- avoiding choke points and "queue across intersection"
"No right on red" avoidance (mentioned in "choke buster") would avoid a route that includes arriving at a major road where traffic tends queue across the intersection during peak hours.
Waze could also detect and actively avoid or reroute detours around intersections where other fleet movement would indicate the intersection is not clearing traffic during each traffic light cycle.

"choke buster" mode aka (lambs to the slaughter) (also "no right on red" avoidance)
Problem: I see a lot of wazers all jump off the freeway or arterial route only to get stuck on the same surface streets.
I see this happen:
The scenario is heavy traffic on a major thoroughfare.
Several cars all take the same obscure turn off the main road (Geary) onto the tricky alternate route (eg. Steiner) only to end up fourth or tenth at a four way stop, effectively defeating the "short cut" and suddenly ETA upticks minute by minute. Aargh! : )So. I'd suggest Waze should monitor in real time as the "pulse" of traffic either flows…
