Pause sharing instead of canceling
I like being able to share my room with friends, but I found if I stop somewhere it cancels it. I shared a route with a friend the other day and stopped at a store and when they tried to follow me the request was denied – it was canceled. There must be some way to pause a route when someone is making a temporary stop.

Help improve law enforcement accountability by creating an icon that drivers can press when they are being pulled over.
The primary function of this feature would be to create a transparent public record of drivers’ interactions with law enforcement, creating a database that could be used to improve accountability and reduce racial or other forms of bias by law enforcement.
Traffic stops are one of the most common forms of interaction with law enforcement in our daily lives. After a rash of recent deadly traffic stops involving African American victims of police violence, there is heightened attention to racial bias in traffic law enforcement. The problem is, academics and policymakers trying to identify racial bias often lack the data…

Android Auto add stop
Can we get waze to show how off route a location is to your current route on Android Auto? This feature works great on the normal app but it's missing from android auto.

Stop stealing voice command/recognition
I have no problem using the Galaxy S6 voice command to send texts while driving.
However, once I invoke the voice command in Waze (by 3-finger salute) I can no longer use the regular Android voice command.
It seems Waze steals and won't release the voice function until I shutdown Waze.

Pedestrian crosswalks as a hazard (For crosswalks with no stop signs)
There are some crosswalks with no stop signs. I believe this would make crosswalks easier to spot when more obvious signals are not present (stop signs, lights, etc)

Add common objects to Hazard:Road
To reduce the possibility of the user becoming a potential road hazard, update the Report:Hazard:Road option with a submenu so that we don't have to type out what's in the middle of the road. There is already an option to report cars stopped on the shoulder, but none to report cars stopped in lane, or tire treads, or deceased animals.
It doesn't need to be fancy, just something so that we don't need to type, unless it's something really unusual.

Keep the app from turning off navigation
If you have the app open in the background, or while the screen is off or locked, navigation can stop if you are stopped for too long. This is beyond frustrating. When I am riding my motorcycle, I listed to the navigation on my bluetooth system. I keep my phone screen locked in my pocket. However, if I am stopped in traffic or at a stop light too soon, then navigation will completely stop. I have to stop, unlock my phone, and then when I open waze, it asks if I want to resume navigation. DO NOT AUTO STOP NAVIGATION.…

Stop forcing toll routes
I use waze every day for my daily commute and love almost everything about the app.
That being said, I am frustrated with a recent update in regards to the routing options. I used to be able to select avoid toll roads, and all of the routes provided would be toll free. Now, even if I have avoid toll roads selected, there is still one or more routes showing toll options. I live here, I know where the toll roads are, and if I wanted to spend an extra $100/wk I wouldn't need Waze as those roads always have less…

Calculate fuel consumption and show cost of the route
It would be great to be able to enter the average fuel consumption for certain speeds for your vehicle and then while calculating show also the cost of the route. It can be calculated by known speeds on the road, the need to stop and go on traffic lights, the overall profile of the route. There is an iPhone app that can serve as an inspiration - http://drivegain.com

One Touch for vehicle stopped on shoulder
For me 9 out of 10 hazard reports are a vehicle stopped on the shoulder. It takes 3 taps. I suggest to create a new button on the main screen that does the report in one tap only - like a macro. It will be safer and easie

Stop Waze auto starting
Stop Waze from auto starting as soon as I get in my car that has wireless Apple Car Play and for that fact even if I plug in it should not auto start. I don’t always want Waze on and it is annoying in the background beeping and alerting even without a direction. This should be an option to auto start not forced. This is an unwanted feature and like and invasion on privacy and personal choice.
I’ve tried Twitter to talk with Waze to no end, said I had to use this forum. I am forced to delete the…4 votes -
Better 'ok Google' voice control
Since its simple enough to configure Google to auto-listen for 'ok Google' and its voice recognition is much faster than the three-finger touch version in Waze, could Waze implement a full set of commands for the 'ok Google' interface?
Examples:
* Okay Google, Navigate home with Waze (obvious)
* Okay Google, Send alert police with Waze (sends notification)
* Okay Google, Add stop, coffee with Waze (opens the add-stop interface with a search result for 'coffee')
* Okay Google, stop navigating with Waze (stop current navigation)Better touchless controls should be a major priority and the Android voice system is…

Please add stop lights.
Please add stop lights. They help when I'm not driving on the highway and especially when I'm driving in the city. I count how many stop lights I have so I know exactly where to turn and don't feel consistently lost.

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I love the app…

Accident alert
If something happened to a driver and it was an accident, Waze should detect the drastic "Stop" of the driver and after that if in th next 5-10 second no movements are done, should pop up a message asking the driver if he was in an accident, if the driver doesn't answer in 20-25 second, the "Alert" should appear on the map alerting the near user of Waze. What do you think?
237 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Enable passenger search while driving in android auto mode
In android auto the search is removed until the car is stopped. My passenger wants to search for a new location destination. Sadly we have to stop the car to do that. A prompt asking if you are the driver would be better, then allow them to search. How can waze assume all interaction must be the driver?? If the driver declares to be a passenger well that's driver negligence but stop All interaction to prevent that, this renders the app useless at times.

Add stop along route
It would be nice to be able to use Google Assistant hands free to ask Waze to find a stop along your route like Google Maps does. Right now, if you ask it to find something while you're on a trip, it will just do a generic search that may have results in the opposite direction. On Google Maps, it gives you a list truly along your route and tells you how many minutes it will add to your overall trip. That would be lovely on Waze, please.

Please turn off the "You parked here" pop-up or at least give the option to disable it.
Stop trying to do too much!!! I don't need to know or share where I parked when I first start the app especially if I'm sitting in my car where I parked it. I want to enter my destination and go. If I want to share my location, I'll do so through the menu. Very annoying.
