Adding an exemption pass for Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels When you have disable badge
When you have a disable badge you can apply for congestion charge exemption. This is already a pass on the app you can add. However, this also allows you to go through Blackwall tunnel and Silvertown tunnel for free. So adding this exception should be updated. Since it always defaults to going over dartford bridge.

Electric car planning with chargers and battery info
I would like to use Waze like ABRP. For me Waze is the best GPS software to drive my car with. But nowadays I have an electric car and need to plan my trip with the battery level and consumption and the available electric chargers on my way. So I would like to see WAZE able to plan my route, adding to it the needed chargers to reach the destination, for example knowing the initial battery status, the consumption of the car it will be easy to understand when to charge and can add any of the available chargers to the route.

Customized alert distances
Since the recent release of changing the alert to 0.2 miles, makes police alerts a worthless feature because at highway speeds, at that distance, it's already too late. In fact, anything over 25mph would be too late at that point. How about a setting that allows the user to set that distance in the range 0.2 to 1 mile to make it more practical or just revert to the 0.5-mile default that was present before the latest release!

Speed Bump & Speed Camera
I was travelling by road in Oman and noticed many of the Speed Bumps & Speed Camera locations are not correct.
Maybe it's not updated. Is there an option for the user to update the speed bump & speed camera location.7 votes -
Hazard duration
I've checked, and I can't seem to find this suggestion, if it's already here please direct me to it.
I like to suggest that the duration of some hazards be changed. In particular potholes and construction. Potholes where I am usually last for a month at least, and there aren't enough wazers to keep the ones that are already reported active, so an extended duration for potholes would it be helpful. Even if it were a day or two, it would let other wazers confirm that it's still there.
Construction, could last for a number of hours, or the remainder of the day, as there are lots of short term construction projects that pop up for a day, but like potholes they time out before the construction is done. As with potholes other wazers would have an option to remove the report if it were ended.
This change would be convenient, and help people to better avoid delays.

Potholes are problems on the roads. But long stretches of pothole-ridden sections are also an issue.
Potholes are problems on the roads. But there is something even more annoying, which is larger sections of the road that are completely holed or damaged. The suggestion is to create a new type of alert that is more lasting. Something saying "Damaged section ahead." Perhaps many countries do not suffer from this, but here in Brazil, whether in small towns or capitals, this is extremely common.

Improve usability for EV drivers
Please add more EV friendly information. Have no option to choose EV as fuel type and doesn't show charging stations. Since buying my car, I've actually found Google Maps a far better option but do miss the community reporting of Waze as its not as good in Google Maps

Push the start date limit for road closures an extra month in the future
Right now, map editors can place road closures at most one year in advance. When an event ends, they often announce next year's date. It would be handy if we could add those closures at that point, even if the event will take place like a weekend later next year. Now, we often have to set a reminder to add these next week or so. Therefore, I'd like to propose this limit gets pushed one extra month in the future, making the limit 12+1 months. It might be best to adjust this limit for some other related things, such as traffic events, as well.

50cc 45km/h Scooter navigation
I’d love to have a scooter navigation, that knows what the traffic situation looks like and that gives you the exact route. I live in the Netherlands and 45km/h scooters often need to switch between de cycling lane and the car lane, so it would be nice if the navigation would give you the exact route including when you need to switch from one lane to the other. First try this for the Netherlands as we drive a load of scooters and cycle a lot, and because of this, our traffic signs are good to follow which makes it easier to follow the rules and also easier to make this a real in app feature

Police (Median)
We need a “Police (Median)” alert that warns traffic in both directions on an interstate. Police (hidden) and Police (other side) don't always apply. This alert would warn traffic in both directions of the interstate or divided highway, since most police run front and rear radars simultaneously.

Could we have a pause navigation feature
Could we have a pause feature, so your phone isn't telling everyone in the petrol station to turn left! You have to close the app and restart navigation if you need to stop somewhere, very annoying

Speed Camera Audio Alerts should be User not Community Choice
It seems there is a lack of clarity regarding Speed Camera Audio Alerts and how they are triggered.
From what I can tell, audio alerts for speed cameras are a "community" choice, meaning that an audio alert will only be played given a number of conditions:
Depending on where you live - Your "community" decides what the threshold should be, that is if you are currently travelling at the speed limit or below, some communities will trigger the audio alert. Some communities require you to be travelling over the speed limit before the audio alert it triggered.Also apparently there is a setting for cameras in the map editor that allows to populate the speed camera. If this is set to 0 the audio is always triggered.
It is questionable that the visual trigger is always activated regardless of what speed the user is going and this is potentially a visual distraction especially if no audio alert is played. Surely it is far safer to audibly relate this information rather than have the user check something pop up on the screen while driving or to keep checking every so often to see if the visible speed camera alert has popped on the screen.
These settings are not made clear by Waze and feel there needs to be a bit more transparency regarding about how the audio speed camera audio alerts work. It is all very confusing and leads to the conclusion that the app doesn't work correctly, when in fact it does, but is a setting related to a "Community" choice.
I won't get into detail about who I think the "Community" might be, maybe this a legal requirement depending on where you live, but again this needs to be more transparent.

Signal sonore, option jeune permis et ancienne voix de Vanessa
Ajouter une option qui lorsqu’il y a un changement de direction, on reçoit une petite alerte sonore au choix qui nous invite à regarder le GPS au lieu d’avoir une voix qui parle sans arrêt. Aussi une option pour les jeunes permis avec des limitations de vitesse adaptées. Et remettre l’ancienne voix française de Vanessa.

Bug RoundAbout exit during driving : A U-turn is always showing on the dashboard of the car
The dashboard of the car always shows an U-turn exit for all roundabout on android auto.
It will be good to replicate, like the application Google Maps does, the correct information seen on the map to the dashboard car.
Because actually for all roundabout, Waze shows on the dashboard a u-turn whereas the exit number and indication are correct on the map.
Suggestion to the forum : A picture to upload would help to explain more than a long explanation.

EV charging list filters
It would be perfect to see/sort/filter the charging list with distance (to current position, regardless of added time) availability, and charging speed. When a charger is needed, it should be possible to pick from a couple of closer, available and faster selection.
