Shortcuts for Hazard Reports
When using the Hazard Report feature in Waze I often find that:
1) I use 1 to 3 reports a LOT more often than any others.
2) I often find that selecting these hazard icons using the current method is fiddly, dangerous when driving, and slow, resulting in the report being sent late, often about 100 meters or more past the hazard.
My improvement idea is to add 1 to 3 hazard SHORTCUTS that "slide out" for selection from the existing hazard report icon (yellow triangle) on the FIRST touch, they would then "slide in" again after selection to avoid taking space on-screen. A double-tap of the existing hazard icon would bring up the existing whole set of hazard icons if needed. Users could choose in settings what 1-3 hazard icons they want to use for their shortcuts.
For me (and possibly everyone else) I will find this makes a Hazard Report much easier, safer and accurate. Especially if you use your phone horizontal (landscape) on your dashboard.

Better navigation for electric vehicles
I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.
Given that the charging structure in Europe is now largely very good, scheduling the various charging points for a long trip is no longer necessary in advance.
A nice solution would be to show on the screen the next 3 (fast) charging stations, along with the total number of charging stations (red) that are there, how many are still available (green) and how many are out of service/in maintenance (gray) (like A better route planner does).
In addition, also the percentage of charge with which you arrive at the charging station, allowing you to choose whether you want to charge safely and arrive with a higher charge or whether you want to arrive with a lower percentage and thus achieve a higher charging rate.I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.

Updated alternate route feature.
My account has been selected to use the updated alternate route feature.
Based on my experience, the UX/UI of the previous version is much better than the latest, I can easily compare the 3 routes on 1 page, but the updated alternative routes features require scrolling to do the comparison, I will need to remember the routes, total distance, arrival time before scrolling to the 2nd and 3rd route options for comparison and this defeat the purpose of the update?
Sorry to say that I don't see the benefit of this updated alternate route option.

Ya no aparece la alerta de "Animal muerto en el camino" en Waze
Ya no aparece la opción de alerta de "animal muerto en el camino" ni de "animal herido" en la orilla en Waze para Android Auto, tampoco en la app del teléfono. Considero que esta opción es muy importante para los conductores y para garantizar la seguridad de los perros, gatos y otros animales que andan vagando por las carreteras. Deseo que la vuelvan a habilitar en la app y en Android Auto.

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.

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.

Suggestion d’itinéraire
Bonjour,
Il serait intéressant de proposer différents style d’itinéraire du style ( parcours à sensation / rapide / compromis) ou bien de pouvoir avoir la possibilité de mettre plusieurs étapes à notre parcours comme d’autres applications gps le font déjà , je trouve que c’est les seul point qu’il manque a waze pour que celle-ci soit vraiment parfaite !10 votes -
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.

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

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.
