Icônes de navigation
Bonjour,
Le bouton orange situé en bas à droite sert à signaler différentes choses. Il ouvre sur une page avec 10 icônes, et chacune est à choix multiples : il faut les ouvrir pour savoir ce qui est dedans, et comme c’est écrit en petit il faut se concentrer dessus, au détriment de la sécurité, notamment lorsque l’on a pas de co-pilote.
Pour renforcer la sécurité, pourquoi ne pas mettre uniquement 9 icônes à choix unique (qui tiendront sur la page), avec un logo bien clair pour chacune, et une 10ème icône à choix multiple que l’on ne pourrait…2 votes -
Estimated time in traffic notification
When I commute to or from work, I get "Estimated time in traffic" multiple times on the way. Presently, there is no way to disable that notification without disabling all notifications. I would like an option to disable this notification.
I don't need that notification, yet I still want some notifications, police, accidents, etc. I don't need to know how long I will be in traffic, considering the arrival time doesn't change with this traffic notification.1 vote -
Take Rowena Ave. in Los Angeles off your suggested routes.
This street was never intended to be a major thoroughfare. The traffic is non-stop on this residential street and there are no lights to control the amount of traffic that has accumulated.

Stopping a street as cut through woodwardia
How do we stop Waze from recommending people cut through a residential street to go around traffic? The system has people cutting through woodwardia drive right through a residential neighborhood association with mostly private streets in the 90077 area code. It causes at times 10 car backups on the streets and is ridiculous when you are trying to get out of your own driveway

Turn off close to home
Much the same way the “still there” interface pops up when you are close to a reported cop or car on the side of the road, have a pop off for “continue/stop” when you are close to home. I suggest 1mile radius from your Home location.

Remove the "Thanks!" message and make it easier to stop navigation
Make it easier to stop navigation. An visible X or similar in the edge of the map. I have had trouble finding the stop navigation button after sending an alert because the "thanks.you helped other wazers" message because it doesn't go away and i cant even see the lower panel for arrival time!

I would like to see a pickup staging option for ride share and taxi drivers.
As a recent UBER driver, I find WAZE an invaluable tool, as it integrates as a navigator right into their system so I do not have to enter the address manually. I have been using waze since it has been introduced here in Minneapolis, and threw away my old nav systems... Here is an improvement I'd like to see. I would like the option to add a stop to the current address(without having to do it manually), 2 addresses back from the stop, on the same side of the street. Call it a staging stop. That way I am on…

disable pop-ups
Please give us a way to disable the pop-ups. I don’t care that there’s a car stopped on the side of the road in 4/10 of a mile. I can’t see what’s happening in 4/10 of a mile but I just missed my exit because the pop-up covered the details that I need to know now.

Stop the app turning off
The app continually turns itself off anytime you stop. Most importantly it does this when you stop for gas. Let's say you've listened to some of the true crime podcast and also understand that this is one of the most vulnerable times that people driving on their own have. So it would be fantastic if the navigation stayed on and the people that you shared your travel with could continue to see you and not put you into doubly bad spot where you are outside, and now the people you shared your location with can't see you.
It's like you…1 vote -

Increase the menu arrow on Android Auto
When using Waze on Android Auto, the arrow to the menu "Routes, Stop, Search Sound" should be bigger; it's too tiny for us to be sure that is already selected (without having a touchscreen unit) during the day, especially bright ones, during the drive.

Provide way to stop alternative routes
Please provide a way to stop alternative routes during heavy traffic. This app goes too far in creative ways to cut down time that 75% of the time do not pan out well for me and I am later than originally predicted. 15 min late for appointment in Seattle because this app suggested a left turn in the I-99 tunnel that was not physically possible. I have also had the app reroute me to a literal dead end leaving the Oregon Coast when a time saving suggestion way provided.

Toll booth waiting time
Everytime I stop at a toll booth, the app asks if there is traffic jam. Instead of that, it would be nice to have toll booths identified in the map and once near it, the app would calculate the average time users are spending on each site, excluding fast passages as they would represent tagged vehicles. To display it, a bar similar to traffic jam would do just fine. With that, the ETA would be less affected by long lined in toll booths.

Timers in all notifications
When driving and using Waze to navigate somewhere. When the message pop up asking if you’re a “driver” or “passenger”, this message needs to be on a timer. It needs to go away after a few seconds because a driver can not take their eyes off the road to answer it. Also, even after answering “driver” it should automatically go back to the navigation NOT ask other questions. Having multiple things to answer when you’re trying to see the directions is a hazard.

waze for facilities
a new feature for waze - navigation for facilities. any new student in high school or collage spends some time trying to figure out where building no. 17 is, or the lab. the same is true for visiting hospitals, finding the right section, elevator and unit. the fact that public buildings plans already exist as digital files should facilitate development. yet another idea - an option to temporarily stop the application when entering an elevator.

Too many repetitive navigation alerts
I will start off by praising Waze. It’s the only app that I use for navigation, and I use it multiple times a day. That being said, the number of repetitive navigation alerts is becoming extremely annoying. I don’t need to be remind 4+ times within 20 second time period to do the same thing. It might be just me, but it seems to have gotten much worse in the past month or two. Please add an option for minimal navigation alerts. It’s just too much!!!

Rush Hour in Los Angeles
Rush Hour in Los Angeles: first, there are surprisingly few left turn light signals in Los Angeles (LA) at major intersections. second, especially at rush hour in LA (which is most of the time) it is next to impossible to make a left onto a major road or cross it without a traffic light or 4-way stop sign. third, if a route says there is 'heavy' traffic up ahead or traffic is 'at a standstill', route me a different way!
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.
