Change font size on search results
When you enter a search the first summary line is <- Your location (in large font) -> address (in small font) The small font is hard to read (especially for those of us who need glasses for reading but not driving). It makes much more sense to have the "Your location" in small font (or not there at all because it is always the same text) and the desired address in the largest font possible on the screen

Exit Waze when disconnecting from Apple CarPlay
I love Waze for longer journeys, using it with Apple CarPlay. But I don't need it for popping to the shops - i.e. most daily journeys.
However the App starts up on my phone every time I get in the car regardless, and then continues running even after I get out. It really drains my phone battery. I have to remember to close it manually. I can't find a way to stop this behaviour - it is a real pain.
I'm sure it wasn't always like this, but this means I have had to disable Waze on my CarPlay setup.
I would like to be able to configure Waze so it automatically closes when I disconnect from Apple CarPlay.

Temporary speed limits
Option to report reduced speed limits due to road works (construction).
Option would be for reduced speed ahead. Would be useful to know of upcoming congestion

U.K. Motorway Variable speed limits
Is there a way that Waze can receive an information feed of the U.K. motorway variable speed limits?
I am sure this must exist and have the ability to be tapped into.
The M25, is a great example, but there are many more motorways across the country, often have variable speed limits posted on signs above the lanes. These can change depending on the operators and in response to incidents or traffic conditions.
It would be incredibly useful to be able to see on the Waze screen what the current limit is, and to know that it is current.7 votes -

Commercial Navigation
There are a lot of commercial vehicles on the road. I think it would be nice to give the user the ability to input the height and weight of their commercial vehicle including oversized and overheight loads. Editors would include clearance heights when a road level 1 crosses over a Ground level, level 2 over level 1, etc. as well as roadway weight restrictions as displayed on signage (eg: Weight limit 8 tons empty weight) as well as general commercial truck restrictions as displayed on signage. The app can then take this information into account when large commercial vehicle operators request navigation. This can be achieved by adding only a few fields to the map editor for clearance height, truck restriction and weight restriction. Pilot escorts could use these functions to navigate for overheight vehicles.

Overtaking
Overtaking lanes in Australia is a must. We have single lane highways and 3 trailer trucks to overtake, this will save so many accidents. It doesn’t need to be built into the map just as a button for the crowd to add so we know there is an overtaking lane coming up, we will wait before passing on dodgy roads filled with Kangaroos!

Add stoplights and stop signs. It makes calculating your next turn much easier to figure out while driving in unfamiliar territory.
It is much easier to calculate your next turn when you have a landmark like a stop light or stop sign.

Audible Alert for Fixed Speed Cameras
Every Sat Nav device that I have ever owned HAS an audible (sound) alert to speed cameras. This is because most drivers keep their eyes on the road most of the time, not on their Sat Nav. I have done some basic programming in the past and know that adding a PING (sound) to something that happens in a software program is the EASIEST thing that a developer could possibly do. So, WHY on earth are Waze developers ignoring this important feature, when so many people ask for it? Just flashing up Speed Camera in words at the bottom of the Waze screen is absolutely useless to a driver, as 9 out of 10 times the driver won't see it. Making it red doesn't help either.
I hope people VOTE for this important audiable feature. Thanks in advance.

I would like to see again the icon where the downed animal is displayed
I would like to see again in the report in waze a designation about an animal being hit, I would also like to see, for example, about an animal that walks next to the road so that others do not hit it. Add this, it will be very useful)

Change starting point
Choosing an alternative starting point other than my current location is next to impossible in Waze. I hear complaints from many people who struggle with this issue. Why not make it easy like other map navigation programs? Seems like an easy fix and would go a long way to ending this frustration and concern. I hope you take this concern seriously and do something about it.

Low clearance feature
There should be a feature that allows you to select routes for oversized trucks- tractor trailers keep getting stuck in the sumner tunnel or moving trucks on storrow drive all the time!! This is Boston MA but I’m sure other places could benefit too

Hazard reporting when not driving
There needs to be a way to report hazards after you’ve driven / not while your in the current area. I’ve been in multiple situations where there has been a hazard like a crash or roadworks where i’m not in a position to be using my phone while driving as to fully pay attention to my surroundings. I feel only having hazard reporting able to work while driving is a bit dangerous and by including the ability to report things you’ve encountered on your drive at home or when your not behind the wheel would benefit the safety of yourself and other Waze users.

In Canada need Waze to verbally alert to speed camera approaching no matter if over the speed limit or not.
Have Waze ALWAYS verbally alert when approaching a speed camera no matter if the driver is over the speed limit or not.
