Drive around for "" minutes when arriving at a destination where parking is scarce
It would be great to have a option when arriving at a destination "go around for 10 minutes". This will enable the driver to quickly drop the passenger and drive around the place guided by waze and bring back to the destination in about 10 minutes. Saves the driver finding a parking place and also saves the driver parking charge especially in city centres which is dearer.

Giving them option driven one way to be able to drive that same route back to where you started from
When driving to one city or town a specific route that you were happy with the way it took you. So you want to drive those same roads back to your original starting point. Instead of getting a good route from point A to point B. But when leaving point B you get a bunch of lil side roads that seem to take long to get back to point A

Adjustable maximum speed
For enviromental reasons i drive slower than the maximum allowed speed. Would be great if you could enter your maximum speed into waze in order to adjust your ETA
21 votesGreat news! This feature is already available in Waze. It’s called Personalized ETA.
Personalized ETA setting is turned on in Settings – Navigation – Personalized ETA. Waze would analyze the drives you took in the past, calculate how long it took you to drive sections of the route, and compare this information with Waze’s estimates. Then, it uses this info to personalize your ETA whenever you search a route in Waze.
Important: Waze won’t analyze drives that you delete from your drive history. Deleting drives may disable Waze from personalizing your ETA until you take more drives.

Driving mode
Waze need a "Driving mode" switch within settings. I'm a Waze user, I use Waze from my car radio 7.5" screen and the only difference is more space for map view. By "Driving mode" is bigger buttons, bigger texts on street names and notifications. While driving you should not need to force reading or hitting a button... It's just an idea that I'm sure will improve a lot Waze usability while driving.

There are too many clicks to start driving after choosing a destination. you should add more buttons 1. "Drive" 2. "More Option".
In addition, about voice options, the pane should disappear after choosing...the confirm button is redundant1 vote -

carpool
Turn carpool notice OFF !! Retired and drive by myself almost every day. I don't need the Carpool suggestion coming on every time I drive. Really dangerous when using Waze at night and that pops up. It covers my screen and have to tap it to get back to map.

Allow declaring Toll Roads and the option to not navigate through them
Waze wants to route me through a toll road every day and can't seem to find an alternate route until I actually drive it. I want to be able to avoid Toll roads, which means tolls roads need to be able to be declared in the editor.

Ability to filter out potholes and construction on my daily drive to work and back.
I know the area is under construction. I know every perpetual pothole to dodge. I don't need 14 pop ups telling every day. Let me filter these out on my daily drive. The concept is great in areas I don't frequent or areas I don't know like the back of my hand.

Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night
Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night on a two-lane road, 65 mph during the day on a two-lane road, and a maximum of 70 mph for any road. I would like to be able to put this in settings, so that Waze can come up with a better route and ETA for me. I do not like being sent down two-lane roads at night going 55 mph when I could be going down a highway at 67 mph, and could…

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…

When you plan to drive, it would seem that you can’t add a stop at all
When you plan to drive, it would seem that you can’t add a stop at all….. can we have this fixed?
.... Also with regard to this process, I am not being allowed to login with Facebook, but it keeps on prompting me for email and password.

Please provide an option to turn off the "car stopped on shoulder" warning.
This is the most common warning yet doing nothing more than distracting. People stop on shoulders for few minutes all the time so why do I need to care unless I am planning to drive on the shoulder?? Turning off road hazards does not help.

As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -

When @Home location, app assumes on drive not road and can choose left or right direction
Currently frequently when I select my destination when on my drive Waze will think I am on the road outside and send me in a massive loop that adds 6 minutes ot the journey.
When my journey may be left or right out of the drive depending on the traffic it then courses an unnecessary bias in the results.
IF I look at the route options I then will select the route that has been "discounted" to see if it was assuming the right turn that is not needed and therefore would be quicker.
The app should just assume in…
1 voteThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -
