Stop talking as soon as I press Stop
If I press Stop to stop the navigation while Waze is providing driving directions, stop talking immediately. Don’t finish the current driving direction. I pressed Stop, which means I don’t want to hear it any more.

Waze "Local Knowledge" feature
Waze should have a feature called "Local Knowledge". Since most routes start at the same place, home, the user wouldn't need to know/HEAR all the individual turns to get out of their own neighborhood every time. The user should be able to set up a radius around a point where they have familiarity of different increments say, 1mile, 2miles, 5 miles, where only the visual route is shown on the screen and the audio is MUTED. Then once the user is outside of the predefined radius, the audio starts again. There should also be the ability to set up multiple…

Sending a location to Android Auto from the phone is set as new destination without proposing to set it as a stop
When using Waze on Android Auto and sending a location to waze from a phone app, the location is set as new destination, replacing the existing destination if there was one. A possibility to select between replace or add a stop would be better.

Stop navigating to where you suggested instead of the address I'm explicitly choosing
This drives me crazy: That little countdown timer around the suggested destination keeps counting down even as I go and search or choose a favorite or planned drive or whatever. Often, even after I make my choice, the timer finishes and supersedes my choice. Sometimes it takes a while for me to notice that Waze is sending me to the wrong place!

Ask users if they are stopping for gas
When unexpectedly exiting the highway, ask users if they are stopping for gas. This would eliminate annoying and distracting rerouting, and direct users to the nearest gas station. 99% of the time, I got off the highway for a reason and don’t immediately want to be directed back on.

Bug in when driving using Navigate adjusting "Avoid Highways and Tolls"
I think that if I am using the Navigate, but then decide to turn on or off the Navigation settings (Settings > Navigation) "Avoid Toll Roads & Avoid Major Highways, it should address this when it refreshes your route, but it does not. I have to completely Stop navigation and restart.

Add Van (or non compliant) as vehicle type to avoid clean air zones
Waze ability to avoid clean air zones totally falls apart if driving a van that will be charged in a clean air zone. For example Waze will route me through Bradfords clean air zone even though my vehicle has to pay the charge. There is no option to chose a non compliant vehicle so Waze avoids the zone, only private, taxi, motorbike. I just want to simply select avoid clean air zones and then start my journey confidently knowing I will avoid the zones instead of the nightmare it is when following the navigation to see clean air zone signs…

alternate route needed from Lake City FL to Augusta GA
I recently traveled from Lake City, FL to Augusta, GA. The route that Waze took us included about 75-80 miles along US 80 east. While this is a fine road, it is very isolated with no rest stops, only 2 gas stations, and only small rural side roads. If I were to have a flat tire or other emergency, I would be in trouble. There are no mile markers or other landmarks and while I did not try this, but I am not sure that I would have cell service or how far first responders are located. Can you…

Add stop problem
The app was good.
But there's one thing to fix it.
When use add stop while on going trip, after arrived to first location, the trip suddenly stop. I mean literally stop, not continue until the arrived last location.

Different phrases for the same message.
Waze should have multiple phrases for the same message. For instance, when C3PO is saying turn left master. It could say turn left with a different voice. This way the voice app wont get annoyingly repetitive to listen to.
Also, another idea would be to have different voices for different speeds, when you are going above 50 miles per hour, it could be an X-wing voice.
HILARIOUS idea: have a useless and unintelligible directions reader like: R2D2 beeps, and chewbacca yells.

PLEASE stop routing people on minor roads
Please stop routing people on minor roads like Norwich St in Milwaukee! Our small, quiet road now has tons of traffic that it never had before (I've been here 20 years) and that it wasn't designed for, to the point that I might look into whether we can get speed bumps, especially since most of the cars are going WAY over our 25 mph speed limit. Keep people on the major roads that were designed for more traffic and that have higher speed limits, please.

Add to Favorites More Simple
On iPhone when swiping left on a location in history it gives you “Options”. It’d be great to add a simple add to favorites from that menu vs having to do multiple steps just to add the location to favorites.

Traffic fixer/ Auto Traffic Control
Use the wazer data to "improve" traffic scenarios. Like serving as air traffic control, waze could recommend speed to reduce the stop and go of traffic and "fix" one of the causes of traffic from driving habits. Would prob need to expand functionality to identify travel lane .. But with the number wazers around it could have huge impact

Suggestion for Adding Stop Signs to Waze Map Editor: Enhancing Safety, Traffic Flow, and User Experience
Dear Waze Development Team,
I know this feature was denied back in 2022 but I would like to suggest adding this feature again due to how important it is. This feature will allow map editors to include stop signs on the Waze map.
Here are a few reasons why:
Enhanced Safety: Drivers will have advanced notice of stop signs, allowing them to prepare to stop safely, which can reduce the risk of accidents at intersections.Improved Traffic Flow: Accurate stop sign information helps drivers make better decisions, contributing to smoother traffic movement and less congestion.
Optimized Route Planning: Knowing where…

Waze would show you places for quick stop near the road.
Basically it would work like this. Imagine a situation that you would need to *** or eat some food. You would open Waze to see when is the closest place to spot. It could even be a little stop by hole in the forest. Also it would be nice to see how many cars could fit there.

Needs to show and CALL OUT stop signs and traffic lights as needed for turns.
In addition to showing stop signs and lights, call them out as needed for turns (instead of the distance). Apple Maps actually does a good job with this, a good example to follow.

I suggest that you add speed reduction warning to your icons for hazards.
On motorways when there is a speed reduction sign it would stop people braking heavily if they’re aware it’s coming up.

Stop telling me where not to turn
In a recent update someone added the asinine feature that tells me where I should not turn as I cross every intersection, in 100 m don't turn just go straight you dumb idiot.. I don't get it my great aunt used to tell me the name of any every intersection I would cross when she tried to explain how to get somewhere instead of just telling me to drive straight up a particular road! It's asinine it's extraneous it's not helpful and it's annoying! There's no way to turn off this stupid feature and I'm stuck having ways tell me…
