Implement Navigation for AM License vehicles (45kph)
It would be Great to have 45kph limited vehicles implemented...
that would need major changes tho...
we are allowed to drive all roads but: Autobahn, Autostraße (roads marked with a Car sign) cause these require a minimum topspeed of 60kph. https://www.wissenswertes.at/zeichen-autostrasse with an option to select a 45 top speed vehicle and the option on the editor to add Autostraße so u can just set the navigation to not take them like with autobahn/mautstraße^^ also adding a 45kph vehicle option could mean that other drivers could be warned like : Slow Vehicle Ahead^^

Switch map and directions on android devices to left or right
My car is a left hand drive vehicle however while using the app on an android headunit the directions are on the left side of the screen while the map is on the right hand side of the screen which is very hard to see. I suggest an option if your car is a left hand drive vehicle to swap these two and revert back if it is a right hand drive vehicle.

Make "Police reported ahead" prompts work in background
On my Samsung Galaxy S3 the "police reported ahead" prompts dont work when the app is running in background, however, the "vehicle stopped on shoulder" prompts work just fine. I would like the opposite. Thanks,

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes…

Create area of interest around vehicle
Allow user to specify an area of interest around their car. This area of interest would have a circular shape and diameter would be in miles. The size of the diameter would be specified by the user. The user would then select alert types that they would like to receive within this area. For example, the user would like to be alerted if a police car enters this area. The police car could be behind them, and approaching them, beside them, on the other side of the road etc.... They could also request weather alerts that could indicate if a…

https://twitter.com/waze/status/1091359985647394816
Nobody can walk into NYC from Jersey City/Hoboken. You need to drive a vehicle or take a bus. Seems really tone def. I'm just following instructions from your twitter account. Would love for you to work with the port authority of new york / new jersey to get a bike lane or some way for pedestrians to walk under the tunnel.

BEACON FUNCTIONS
Create a new menu with several options for the beacon function: pedestrian walking along the road, cyclist, slow heavy vehicle, or stopped car. Currently, this option does not exist.
When a vehicle stops, it could be beaconed and detected by other vehicles, without the need for the driver who sees it to manually navigate the Waze menu to report it — making it much safer.
Another option would be for cyclists or pedestrians to beacon themselves, so that other vehicles would receive a warning signal when approaching a cyclist or pedestrian who is moving at a slower…

Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.

Car icon personalization
Be able to change the colors of the vehicles because I love the pickup truck but the only color right now is pink, and I know it’s not a huge deal but I think it would be so much more fun if we could pick the vehicle type then change the color to whatever we would like!

Navigation for larger van / lorry or caravan / trailer.
Many drive in a larger van / lorry or with a caravan / trailer.

You can in other navigation systems, such as TomTom Go18 votes -

Mute specific warnings
Give us the option is settings to choose what we want to be warned about and what we don't consider as important. Example: many people don't care as much about a vehicle stopped on shoulder, or a traffic light camera, but still want to know about police and accidents. A simple list where we toggle these options would be great.
