Show speed cameras before starting drive
Here in Germany, having an app that shows you the speed camera just when coming near the camera has gotten illegal. But it is legal to check for speed cameras before starting the journey. It would be good if Waze would show speed cameras on the overview route just after calculating the route.

PLEASE remove the reporting of potholes -- This is driving me insane.
Hello,
Though I do believe the initial intentions of reporting potholes were genuine, it has become an absolute nightmare for regular wazers.
I live in a metropolitan area and, unfortunately, not many people in my area have any inclination on what a pothole actually is. This has led to people spamming the map with tens of pothole reports on any given stretch of road (usually the reports are for an uneven patch of road, or even a small bump in the road)...
I'm sure other will agree that this issue has led to, and will continue to lead to, alert…

Please bring back in app notification & icon that someone is watching our drive.
A couple of app updates ago we lost the written notification and icon on the map that shows that someone is watching our drive. Any plans to bring this back? When I send a link to follow my drive to a non-Wazer, it was helpful to know someone clicked on the link, particularly when coordinating a meeting spot and time. Please consider bringing this back!

drive summery dashboard
After I finish driving I like to get summery with all the information during my ride like:
total time of driving after all the calculation(the most important)
If it's more or less the planned
How long time I lost in the traffic
How much I spend on highway
And other useful insight2 votes -
Voice for everything, including thumbs up or not there needs to be a lot better. It's a driving app and needs to be totally hands free
Voice commands are bad and they give up trying after a couple attempts. You cannot thumbs up or say not there with voice. It takes 5 taps to report some things which is ridiculous. Voice needs to be reliable, it's a driving app ffs

Remove "Good Morning" and replace it with the street name you're driving on
What's the point of wasting the whole bottom of the screen with goodmorning. Instead show the street name you're driving on. Especially important with emerging technology. I have a GPS rearview mirror which I'd like to leave on (NOT in navigation mode since i'm not navigating most of the time but just driving) Now if the bottom of the screen then I can follow written instructions someone wrote me on a paper and I can confirm it matches the street I'm driving on .

Automatically re-open closed roads when vehicles drive there again
Roadworks sometimes finish earlier than expected. When waze sees enough vehicles driving along a "closed" road, the closure should automatically be removed. Or at least flag the road for the local AM to check.

Routine route driving
As a route driver, i would like to see routes for routine purposes and be able to add multiple locations to a single drive into waze. This would show best routes to go to a routine drive.

Have optional driving laws and safe driving test and make results viewable to nearby Wazers.
This will help improve safe driving as well as help Wazers make informed decisions about driving near/with other Wazers.

Planned drive with expected weather forecast
At least once a year I go on a drive 800km drive during a period when the weather could be questionable, I generally look at the weather in major points along my route several days in advance to determine if we need to leave early or perhaps late to avoid weather. This year we left a couple of hours before a major storm, but managed to stay ahead of it.
I would like to see a planning mode where I could potentially input my planned destination into Waze a couple of weeks before my planned trip, along with my earliest…

Add more time increments to plan my drive
Could there be more time increments to plan my drive, like every 5 minutes instead of every 15 minutes?

custom language
Use a pattern of sounds, pings, dings etc. as an alternative to language navigation instructions. For example, instead of saying "in 300 feet, turn right" - provide a moderate-high frequency "ding" sound, which repeats 3 times. It should be carefully designed using expert sound engineers and be reviewed by users. You want it to be minimal and effective and obviously not annoying. After getting used to it, drives will find that they need less attention to process audible signals.

Pop-up to drive safely with Facebook friend's picture
You can send as popup to who is driving too fast a message as if its a closer friend from Facebook (they have reports of people with more interaction)and with the picture the message "drive safely, people care about you"
You can use as a tool or only for some video to go online and make people think about safety, and would be nice for waze marketing.2 votes -
Add a Plan a Drive button directly from search results
It’s annoying to have to go out of the search and press plan a drive only for it to ask you to search for where you’re going again. When searching for a location to drive to normally and then viewing the route options it would be useful to have a ‘plan a drive button’ on each option that then takes you straight to the arrive by/leave by page with the destination programmed

Link Driving Mode to Waze
When I get in the car driving mode is now an option but Google assistant doesn't actually seem to know who I am. If I say Drive me home it doesn't know where home is... Telling Google is pointless as I live in France and all my language settings are in English so it doesn't understand.

View a larger area of the map on phone while driving.
Please give the option to view a larger area of the map while driving. When on auto-zoom it's really close and you cannot see the road at least a few miles ahead.
