Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput
I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one
It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.
The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.
If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and enough app users tried to keep to that that target speed and maintain proper distance from cars in front of them, perhaps we could collectively improve traffic flow in our communities, even without autonomous cars.

A Printable Manual
I think Waze needs a concise, indexed, printable manual that covers all topics and that's undated frequently. Even after looking at the FAQs, I'm still trying to figure out what a "wave" is an how to implement it.

Proximity routing for Home/Work
Many people use waze on a daily basis as a way to avoid traffic. We know how to get home or to work, and sometimes our work places have multiple entrances. These entrances don't always trigger waze that you have arrived, so even once I'm in the building, suddenly I hear waze trying to route me through the office hallways from my pocket.....
A new feature called "proximity routing" that the user can enable for their "home/work" locations would take care of this problem. Once the driver gets close, waze would indicate you have arrived and go into sleep mode. Alternatively, the sleep could be delayed until the external power source is removed, and thus waze can use that to mark where you parked.
I say home/work as the application of the feature as they are the most common usages, but there's nothing stopping the addition of a per-destination setting for favorite locations or when putting in a route to enable "proximity routing" for that trip.

Just as I'm about to get close to the destination, the add photo drop down appears. Normally not an issue, but on this low resolution landscape only device it covers the navigation just at the most important point, showing the exact location of the destination.
To make it worse, there's no way to get rid of it, and if I try to take a photo to get rid of it, it tells me I don't have a camera (correct) and goes back to hiding the navigation.
A close button would help a lot, but even better to have an setting to not show it at all, or check for a camera first and don't bother displaying if there's no camera on the device.

Automatic Favorites
If I deviate from my route and stop for any length of time, Waze should prompt me to add as a favorite place when I resume. For example if I stop at grocery store, car wash, gym or any other place on way home I'd like to have I my favorite places to add as stop on future trips. Likewise if I'm on a trip and stop at great place to eat, I might want to stop next time.

Motorcycle and rally communities
For people to use Waze for navigation for groups (either leading and or distributing to a group) it would be great IF a person could go to Google Maps, make a route, then send it to Waze for navigation.
I plan group motorcycle rides on Google Maps, but then there is no way for me to get that electronically over to GPS (I use my Android phone (waze) for navigation).
I wind up still printing the Google Maps and putting them in my Tank back to follow.. Seems so 2005,,,6 votes -

Improve display for alternate routs
When alternate routs are displayed, the route description is displayed in small, grey, hard to read font. A larger and darker font would help.
This option of alternate routs is useful during drive to conclude if a suggested "exotic" route really save significant time.6 votes -
לעדכן נתיבי תחבורה ציבורית, גם כאלה שפועלים לפי שעות. למשל רחוב אלנבי בתל אביב.
לא פעם נשלחתי לרחוב אלנבי בשעות שבהן התנועה מותרת לתחבורה ציבורית בלבד.
כדאי לתת אפשרות לעדכן מתי מותר לנבוע ומתי אסור, כי לא נעים להפריע לתחבורה ציבורית ועוד יותר לא נעים לקבל דו"ח!6 votes -

Add the ability to use emoji in the app and Waze Map Editor
The ability to type emoji into chat and reports in the app would be a nice addition. Adding this ability to Waze Map Editor would also be nice as it would allow typing emoji into Update Request comments and the chat window.

Add "time to park" in calendar synch.
I have several meetings to drive to every day. Some take 15-20 minutes to park and get to the meetings. I would love a field to add that parking time, to better calculate the "time to go" function. I could use a fake time in my calendar, but with multiple meetings in a day one others relying on my calendar, that doesn't work well.
