Police camera ≠ police report
In some countries, it is not allowed to drive with an app giving the exact locations of police cameras (automatic speed control), waze intelligently gives the area where the police cameras are (very useful alert and the utilization of waze is allowed).
But to fight the concept of the "area" most of drivers post a police location each time they pass beside a police camera (I have observed it, a police camera in Paris France is reported every 15 min, sometime several times).
Consequence : waze gives the exact location of each police cameras everyday, every time.
The problem is…29 votes -
Disable Carplay notifications
I want an option to turn off Waze carplay notifications for next turn because they block UI of other apps like Spotify controls.
Also when you are stopped just before the turn the same turn notification pops continuously and this needs to be fixed as it blocks interfaces.

Separate quick access components, especially compass, for display
I want the compass to always be visible, but to do so requires having ALL quick access stuff visible, and I don't want the display settings shortcut or zoom controls always showing. These different components should be able to be individually enabled or disabled for full-time display. I also like the idea someone else had in another suggestion of using the recenter icon/button as a compass to reduce clutter.
1 voteBy default compass is displayed on screen tap.
To always show it go to Settings – Map display – Quick access – Always show. In Map display settings it is also possible to lock North. -
Driving directions on virtual cockpit
Hey Wazers, I have found out, that when you use Apple Maps app through CarPlay, it is able to transfer information about next driving direction (for example "in 100m turn right" and an arrow) to the control unit of my car and it then shows it to me on my virtual cockpit. Since anothe iOS app can do this, I hope others should be able to, arent they? It will be really good to implement this...

re-route based on upcoming traffic conditions / congestions
While waze does show upcoming traffic condition on one's route it does not provide facility to automatically re-route the traveler around traffic congestion using surface streets or alternate highway/freeway.
This is essential to optimizing waypoint ordering/priority:
This ought be available in other-than a binary toggle (yes or no). While yes and no are suitable broad options, waze ought provider finer grained control of re-routing as it does now (faster or shorter). These should include
(1) time windows
(2) zones / areas
(3) specific roads / highways / freeways
(4) density of other Wazers
(5) using either / both wazer…

Change Waze user interface on CarPlay (with or without Touch screen) to DEFAULT cursor position is ‘Report’.
I have no Touchscreen on CarPlay, controls therefore are scroll buttons on steering wheel. Whenever I’m driving it take several (4 typically) button presses just to toggle the ‘report’ button (like if there is a car on side of road). I’m recommending that the CarPlay cursor defaults to this button so user just presses ONE click to file a report, confirm a warning or whatever - much safer (eyes on road) and more likely to use as it’s a pain & by the time you reach the selected report button on screen, hazard is past / behind you.

WAZE to avoid ULEZ zones - type in your vehicle reg before travel?
In April 2019 central London areas operate a 24/7 charge for vehicles which don't pass the ultra low emissions zone. This is the same boundaries as the congestion charge. This is in effect a toll. The only way I can see WAZE controlling this is that the driver must enter their reg that they are driving so that WAZE knows to avoid this toll. My car for example will fall short of the ULEZ, whereas my girlfriends will not so it is dependent on what you drive. Will WAZE build this into their app as a way of avoiding this…
38 votesGreat news! The feature to avoid ULEZ is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Android auto - Traffic bar - Traject controle - Traction control on the highway
Hi,
I miss the traction control on the highway, Traject controle in Dutch, before you enter it, it shows it but doesn't show the bar on the left side such as like on the phone.
I miss the left bar where the start is of the traject controle.
It's also a missed feature on Apple-Carplay3 votes -
Adding an option for TOL Control in Bulgaria
In Bulgaria, TOL Control inspectors are marked as POLICE, due to the lack of "TOL Control" button. Also the app is used by bus and truck drivers whose activities are controlled by EAAA (Executive Agency Automotive Administration) and SAI (State Automobile Inspectorate). If these options are added to the app, it would be suitable for bus and truck drivers.

To be able to add a place where there is trash to clean
Hi Waze Team,
We were looking for a map of places where people drop trash, you know, like on the side of a road with lots of plastic bags for example. Why ? Because we would like to easily organize trashremoval operations with our association to protect the environnement. And we were thinking : what would be better than people just having to push a button on the Waze app to pin point the location of such trashy places ? Is it something you'd be willing to consider ?
Like me when i see a police control, i signal it…44 votes -

Can i please have a way to turn off the pop ups whilst waze is running in the background thus allowing me to switch between the two as much as i like without waze interfering with the other car play app selections.

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.
Navigating to a new location, adding a stop, finding parking spots/gas stations nearby, report traffic or anything else18 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Control voice instructions via Android Auto
Please place a control on the Waze Android Auto screen to be able to at least mute/unmute the voice instructions. It would prevent from lots of dangerous situations as one wouldn't have to detach the phone from car USB and change the voice instruction level on the phone's screen.

CHANGER LES MESSAGES ZONES DE CONTROLE EN FRANCE
Bonjour,
Les messages "zone de contrôle" correspondaient en France à des zones de danger où sont installées des radars fixes.
Il n'en est plus rien actuellement.
Le Gouvernement insère des zones de contrôle pédagogiques où ne sont pas installés les radars fixes.
Ces zones sont maintenant pléthoriques.
Sur 10 zones de contrôles signalées, pratiquement 8 ne possèdent pas de radars.
Il faudrait que Waze fasse le distingo entre ces zones comme le fait la société Coyote.
Soit en annonçant "zone de contrôle" quand il y a un radar fixe installé et en précisant "zone de contrôle possible" quand il n'y…4 votes
