Let to use keyboard (as passanger) on Android Auto
As a user, I would like to have with Android Auto the same option as with Apple CarPlay to use the keyboard as a passenger.
Currently, while I'm driving with family f.e. on a highway in my country it's illegal to stop on the side of the road. So I'm not able to enter the destination address while in motion. My wife as a passenger has to plug out my phone from USB and enter it manually and plug it in again. It's just plain stupid. It's not even a security option if I have to use my phone to enter an address, while iPhones (Apple CarPlay) can do that without any problem.
Basically, for that reason, I'm thinking about switching my phone from Google Pixel to an iOS device.

Please book back the option for vehicle stopped on road
But last update removed option for vehicle stopped on road you have a choice of objects stopped or vehicle on shoulder, since then I've come up with two times cars have broken down on the roadway

A way to report Gas Stations or EV Stations that are out of service or out of gas
Normally during storms, people will stock up on gasoline and stores may run out of gas to sell. Having a feature that allows users to report when gas stations are out of gas or EV stations are out of service on the Waze app would be incredibly useful for drivers. Not only would it save time and frustration by allowing drivers to avoid gas stations that are out of service, but it could also help promote safer driving practices. For instance, if a driver is low on gas and there are no nearby gas stations with available fuel, they may be more likely to speed or drive recklessly in an attempt to reach a gas station further away. By providing real-time information about gas station availability, drivers can make informed decisions about their driving habits, ultimately leading to a safer and more efficient driving experience. This addition could save drivers precious time and prevent frustrating detours by providing real-time information on the availability of essential resources. For traditional vehicles, knowing in advance which gas stations are depleted can prevent unnecessary stops and help drivers plan their refueling more strategically. Similarly, for EV owners, having accurate data on functional charging stations is pivotal to ensuring seamless journeys and alleviating range anxiety. Waze could further create a dynamic network where drivers actively contribute to more accurate and reliable data.
I hope this idea comes to fruition or at least taken into consideration, and/or others like the idea to make it real.

Adding Traffic signals to the map or giving the option to avoid signals or not
Will there ever be an update that gives you the option to avoid traffic signals or not or possibly show traffic signals on the map? Many times in order to save time. It routes me to a block with no traffic signal at forces me to make a left onto a busy intersection, which sometimes is very dangerous. I’d much rather wait at a traffic light which I end up having to do anyway, in order to make the left when the traffic stops.

Predictive Traffic Light Data
I have an idea that will revolutionize navigation in cities and significantly benefit Waze users - predictive traffic light data.
By leveraging real-time GPS data from our massive user base, our app can start predicting traffic light patterns at intersections. Using algorithms to analyze when cars stop and start at lights, we can gradually build models mapping out sequences and wait times for traffic signals across entire cities.
This would enable sending users notifications in advance whether they are likely to hit the next green or red light. They can adjust speed accordingly, eliminating unnecessary braking and idling. The benefits are immense:
Smoother driving - No more anxiety around unpredictable lights.
Optimized routes - We can factor light timings into the fastest routes.
Saved fuel - Less braking means big gas savings over time.
Reduced emissions - Lower carbon footprint via smoother driving.
Decreased congestion - Optimized traffic flow eases congestion.
Improved safety - reducing sudden stops lowers accident rates.
In essence, this becomes an optimization and prediction engine to enhance navigation, leveraging real-time crowdsourced data. The more users we have, the smarter the system gets. We can even work directly with city officials to improve traffic planning using our insights.The data and technology already exist - this puts them to use for a game-changer feature. Drivers spend 13% of urban commute times waiting at lights - we can give them that time back, and revolutionize how people and vehicles flow in the world's cities.
Let's discuss the viability and impact further. This could redefine navigation and mobility for a greener, smarter future. Are you in?

Route planning based on severe weather
Is it possible to add a radar weather layer to the navigation map while driving in real time and suggest alternative routes to avoid severe weather. It would be useful to avoid large snow/ ice storms or hail/ thunder storms.

Multiple road shield support for main segment name.
Other map devices show multiple road shields for users. Unfortunately Waze will only allow one in the main name. It would be useful for roads that have more than one road shield on them to show them all.

Notice if a location has had speed cameras/police cameras report multiple time in that locations
An alert if a location has had multiple reports of speed cameras or police in that location in the past.
I'm thinking of mobile speed camera traps that are moved around. The locations for both mobile speed traps and mobile speed vans tend to reuse the same locations.
So being able to have an alert saying cameras have been reported in this location previously would be brilliant.10 votes -
It would be nice if one could add more than one additional (extra) destination so that one can plan a trip with several destinations/stops.
Hello
I really enjoy the app and it's really helpful but it would be nice if one could add more than one additional (extra) destination/stop so that one can plan a trip with several destinations/stops. This possibility would be good both in the "plan a ride" and when one enters destinations just before driving.
Thanks

Avoid specific tolls
Can you make it possible to avoid specific roads (specifically tolls)
Let's say I'm in Indiana heading to Chicago. I want to get on the toll road in Indiana, but get off before the Chicago Skyway because it's more expensive.
Can you make it so I can still have it take me on the toll road in Indiana, but take me off before the skyway?10 votes -
Time saved vs detour tolerance slider
The biggest complaint I hear from non waze users is that it routes you a zig zag through a neighborhood or takes you off/on the highway to save 20 seconds.. I use it everywhere I go myself, still worth it BUT I do get annoyed when a significant amount of twists and turns if they don't end up being necessary.
I suggest a slider in settings in which the user could say "keep me on the most direct route unless it saves me at least" 3 minutes.. 5 minutes.. 10 minutes etc.
In order words allow me to set my time saved tolerance and if I set it to 3 minutes for example keep me on the highway unless getting off and back on will save me more time than my tolerance setting.

Choix de type de véhicules
Bonjour
Quand nous programmons un itinéraire la prise en compte de la hauteur des véhicules n’est pas prise en compte.
Ce qui nous dirige vers des itinéraires avec des tunnels dans lesquels nous ne pouvons pas passer.
Aucune application d’aide à la conduite ne le prend en compte !!! Se serait une grande révolution sur le marché de rajouter cette option. Alors réfléchissez-y
Côté marketing vous seriez au top des applis GPS!!!!
J’utilise un 20m3 et la hauteur est 3.20.10 votes -
Family account
Until recently my wife and I used the same waze account. This was useful so we could share addresses of friends and family. Unfortunately waze does not allow us to be logged in at the same time.
I'm hoping waze can re-enable the capability to use an account on two devices simultaneously. alternatively introduce an export/import capability to the account so I can create a new account and just import my favorites my address and preferences10 votes -

'Plan a Delivery'
I'm a fast food delivery driver who uses Waze to get around it would be nice to have next to recent, saved places & plan a drive a plan a delivery option where you can quickly add multiple destinations similar to add a stop apart from you can add more than one and it automatically does the nearest locations first, obviously this isn't useful for people not working in delivery so I'd suggest hiding the option by default and have a delivery driver setting to reveal it
Also a must have for delivery drivers is to show the postcode of the place you're going to. Sometimes the delivery receipts don't show the area only the street, house number and post code. This way I can quickly confirm it's the right place without having to also type a post code each time
