Provision to delete a STOP once entered while navigating
While navigating if one adds a stop then there should be a provision for cancelling it. If one does not want to stop then the navigation keeps guiding to the stop.

Voice navigation instructions based on traffic lights and stop signs.
Apple Maps would say “At the next light turn left” or “At the stop sign turn right” or “Go past this light, and at the next one, turn left” which is very useful and helps me make turns at the right intersection, especially if two streets are close to each other.

Avoid Following a School Bus
It is always painful for drivers to catch and then follow a school bus for all its stops. Especially in cities, where it can result into big traffic jams. Can Waze partner with the school districts to provide live GPS data of school buses? It will be very beneficial if Waze can alert drivers about a school bus on their route, and give them an option to detour. This will save lots of time for drivers, and make it safer for the school buses because of less traffic.

Add a traffic bar to map
Have a "Traffic Bar" that appear in the routes screen overlayed on the main map.
add a car to the bar that moves along with your journeys completion.
So when you are 85 percent home, the car has moved 85 percent up the bar.Also when the Bar-Car (Maybe we should think of a better name) gets near an event an audible alert gets triggered, like when you near a Cop it could say “Oh cock, its the Rozzers!” Or just “Police reported ahead”) Or when you are near a obstacle on road you could be warned – e.g. “Johnny…

Two new buttons. To make the auto zoom stop.
Hello, We would like you to develop a button on Waze to click the map to above view to STAY ON WHAT IS LOOKED UP. The same for zoom.
A button that lets the user look at the map from directly above in map view. A map view button that holds the map view and stops the auto route view stop.
A hold button, that holds the view that is set by the user.

Please improve "Watch my drive...".
Please improve "Watch my drive...". It should stay on real-time & not disconnect. It doesn't follow real-time nor recover when stops. (Android 13, Galaxy S22 Ultra)

cumulate roundabouts
when there is a series of roundabouts where you have a long straight route, the voice guidance quickly becomes annoying, as it repeats the same thing over and over again.
take this example (i have recorded the route and waze behaviour) https://youtu.be/80v8nIPkqQ0
you hear the voice guidance repeating itself all over again
instead when i have a clearly straight route interrupted by roundabouts, please just tell me "roundabout, slow down". that's the most important thing a driver need to listen to when they approach a roundabout that does not change their course.
stop repeating to me that i should take…

traffic light sequence
Major cities have synchronized traffic lights.
I'd suggest a couple of Waze features to help drivers make use of these systems:
1. indicate the optimal (real time) speed to "catch" the light sequence and optimize mpg by avoiding stops and braking
2. reroute to side streets to "parallel" dense traffic that's too slow to catch the light synchronized sequence (e.g. 19th ave, hwy 1 along main beach, geary blvd during commute hours)
3. learn the real time light sequences (especially to sync the cross streets for the whole route, e.g. going from 25th ave to geary blvd ... miss the…5 votes -
Remove annoying ads during navigation
Remove annoying ads during navigation. They appear while stopped, but sometimes they don't disappear when you start moving again. Very annoying and unsafe.

Layer at multi direction road
Due to modern road infrastructure, today interchange has multiple layer, in waze will show all layer as one, thus is easy to miss judge the correct lane.

Combination Red Light & Speed Camera
In my area there are now red light cameras that are also speed cameras. Why is this relevant? Because if the light is STALE (green for a long period and may be turning yellow/red soon at some point) I and other drivers who are aware that the light may be turning red may speed up to avoid the possibility of a receiving a red light ticket. (Because you can’t just stop for a stale green light) If you are aware the redlight camera also tickets for speed it would be a helpful reminder to keep your speed in check while…

An option to "ad automatic fuel stops after certain kilometers" - for long distance travel with vehicles with small tanks and no fuel gauge
i travel mostly with my sportbike, and i dont have a fuel gauge on it, as many other bikes dont have it. i freak sometimes out if i miss a gas station when im low on fuel on the highway or so. with this option, i could relax and drive, without watching at the odometer, or waiting for the fuel light to come up, or stoping to search for the nearest gaspump. this option would solve a big headhache for many riders i think. i input after how many kilometers it automatically it navigates me to the nearest gas station,…

ETA on the front of the App
When you have your 1 stop route ready to go. The front page shows the ETA at the bottom, which is great. My suggestion has to do when you create a stop before the final destination. The display shows only the ETA of the 1st stop not the entire trip. It would be convenient for the area to show the first stop ETA and the final ETA. Either both at the same time or rotate both. Otherwise I have to go into another page to see my final ETA. Then when the first stop has completed then just show me…

Keep the app from turning off navigation
If you have the app open in the background, or while the screen is off or locked, navigation can stop if you are stopped for too long. This is beyond frustrating. When I am riding my motorcycle, I listed to the navigation on my bluetooth system. I keep my phone screen locked in my pocket. However, if I am stopped in traffic or at a stop light too soon, then navigation will completely stop. I have to stop, unlock my phone, and then when I open waze, it asks if I want to resume navigation. DO NOT AUTO STOP NAVIGATION.…

New instructions for crossroad junctions/interchange
In the UK, there has been an ongoing debate on the most effective way to map crossroad junctions where drivers have to cross a main road without priority, as shown in this image:
https://imgur.com/bpKJi9RThe default instructions do not include guidance for routes that go straight, leading to URs for missing instructions even when no turns are required. As there's no instruction, the driver may not realise they have to give way/stop, leading to a potential accident.
If we were to add a "Continue" instruction, it may imply priority, which is not the case, and again, this may lead to…

Use accelerometers and gyroscopes to suppliment GPS data
Use accelerometers and gyroscopes to increase accuracy of location with with virtually no power increase. It would also allow navigation through tunnels and such when GPS location is lost. It would also prevent erroneous movement while stopped at a traffic light. There are companies testing this type of technology. One that I have been following but have no financial interest in is navisens.com There are videos from navisens at https://www.youtube.com/user/navisens

Add stoplights and stop signs. It makes calculating your next turn much easier to figure out while driving in unfamiliar territory.
It is much easier to calculate your next turn when you have a landmark like a stop light or stop sign.

Use A.I. to help us avoid missing a turn
I am sure that Waze is keeping data on our driving and routes. Why not use that data to assist us. If you find that two or more people miss the same turn . . . then do something about it!
Either give us multiple warnings as drivers approach the turn in the future or choose a different route avoiding that turn . . . or both.
This could help reduce the amount of times we have to make u turns and add additional time to our trips.3 votes -
One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.
