Police avoidance
Like when a jam ahead is getting worse, Waze should tell you “police reported ahead. Do you want to divert? (2 more minutes)”. This should be toggleable in the settings just like speed alert is

Manually adjust car starting direction on the map
It would be great to have a feature to manually adjust the car's direction on the map. Often, the app assumes a starting direction and plans the route accordingly, but it doesn’t update until you start driving in the opposite direction. It would also be helpful to define the side of the street when arriving at the destination, making navigation even more accurate!

One touch Highway/No Highway route recalculation
so that I can check and see if the highways are doing worse than the side streets, it would be great to have a one touch button after the routes are calculated to switch to no highway, let the routes recalculate and then if I want to switch back to highway

Simplify road closed
Marking a road closed can be simplified. Waze knows where it wants me to go, I hit the button saying closure, why am I not asked to confirm that road X is closed? I could do that, probably while trying to figure out where to go and traffic is behind me. There is no way I can figure out why waze is giving me a bunch of arrows pointing everywhere when I just said that road you want me to take is closed. Get me out of here and toward my destination, please..

Select initial driving direction
I wanted to suggest this idea but found it was suggested already six years ago but for some reason, this simple but important feature has not yet been implemented.
So I’m quoting the original request someone sent in 2018:Very often Waze starts up navigation facing the wrong driving direction. The direction is rectified as the vehicle starts moving, but it can be too late for the initial turn.
Please add the ability to switch driving direction when navigation starts, via a button.

Option to avoid C area roads in Israel
When I drive in Israel I plan my route in order to avoid crossing a checkpoint and c areas. Sometimes, waze automatically changes my route in order to avoid traffic making me drive in certain areas I’m not willing to. Adding an option to avoid those roads as well as A and B areas can be helpful.

Route through road closures
During last week Verizon had to support the first responders was satellite assets for their communications. We were able to go through road closures. I would like the ability to turn off the reroute around road closures so that the people that can actually go through the road closures can be routed to their destination lot faster because of Waze and other map programs we could not rout ourselves to the locations that we needed to go to, I am Sure that the mini first responders that were at the Ruidoso Fire had the same issue

PITSTOP button
The screen needs a “PITSTOP” button for rest area, gas and food stops. The continual redirection as soon as you leave the programmed route is annoying and unnecessary. You could just hit PITSTOP as you leave the route and then press it again when you return to the chosen route. You could have a color coded button to make it easier to read.

Ambulance
Good morning. Thank you for your application. I have a suggestion. I am a paramedic and like many paramedics we use your application to respect speed limits and pay attention to control zones. Would it be possible to add an ambulance vehicle and if possible a quickest route for the ambulances taking into account the size of the ambulances. Thank you in advance for considering my proposal.

Better lane guidance
Better lane guidance would be a big help. I’m coming from Google Maps. I would get notified at more than a mile when to get into a lane before a turn and how far over I need to be. So 1 mile to 2 miles out would be good especially on the expressway when traveling at higher rates of speed. If the notification became more frequent the closer you got to An exit or to a turn that would be a help as well

El uso de Waze para vehículos eléctricos no está a la altura. Tiene una buena base de datos de cargadores pero no están agrupados
No están agrupados los cargadores de vehículos eléctricos. No los ves todos en el mapa. Podía haber una posibilidad de visualizarlos todos y poder hacer una planificación de viaje con paradas cada x km para cargar el coche y proseguir el viaje

O mapa virar 180° utilizado
O mapa virar 180° quando utilizado. Hoje ele só vira o mapa na tela em 90°. Assim posso utilizar o Waze enquanto carrego a bateria do celular

Voice Instructions
The spoken instruction should be 5-10 seconds earlier. Now at the very last moment you get just before you have to go right, left or straight ahead. This can cause problems for inexperienced users.

Refresh cached destinations
Waze should auto-refresh cached destination locations periodically, for example every 90 days.
Wazers routing to a prior destination that has been updated are still routed to the old location, because Waze caches the location on the device.
Wazers are routed to closed businesses. When a Wazer requests a location update and an editor updates it, the Wazer will still be routed to the wrong location, unless they manually go through and clear out the destination.
Often after an editor updates a Wazer's home address, the Wazer submits multiple reports that it wasn't updated, because the Wazer didn't clear the address…

Radar velocidade média
Bom dia,
Com a alteração de limites de velocidade em certas vias devido a colocação de radares de velocidade média. Sugiro que além de um "evitar autoestradas" haja uma opção com o "evitar radares" usando assim naquele bocado de troço autoestrada por ser mais rápido mesmo que se pague.
Dando o exemplo de trajeto entre águas de moura e Alcácer do sal, todo o trajeto ser de 70km/h mesmo tendo passagem de duas vias para ultrapassagem. Tornasse uma perda de tempo. e em termos ecológicos limite de 70km/h, não sei se é muito apropriado. Deixo esta afirmação para os especialistas.4 votes
