ad restaurant wait times in my area based feedback from other people waiting for a table.
I hate waiting for a table on a Friday or Saturday evening, if we could all share restaurant wait times, we would know what restaurant has the shortest wait for a table. Much like Waze reroutes us for traffic based on user feedback.

Store Map Issues Until they can be reported.
In Rural Areas of the US but not only US cell data coverage sometimes can be problematic and connection may go in and out. When the user attempts to report a map issue the report can be filled out but submission goes to an error message: "Something Went Wrong" and the report and the information is lost.
This can create problems with issues reported in Rural Areas where there is definite evidence of use of Waze but very few reports even though there are missing roads or missing pieces of data for the existing roads.
As a suggestion…

Can you create a "rouch railroad crossing" hazard? In an unfmailiar area it would be nice to know if the railroad is going to eat your car.
Please add a "Rough Railroad Crossing" hazard. Pothole doesn't quite describe the situation properly.

Revert interface/design
This new app design/user interface is horrendous. The old version from a few days ago was much better. Now it’s impossible to find the “Planned Trips” option, which is in a separate bar from the search button. They should not be separate, and it should be easier to access Planned Trips, rather than having to go to upper left area for what essentially is a settings button. At least, there should be a option for individuals to revert to the old interface, like other apps, and websites do for people who do not like the new designs.

Improve routing server system
Help customers by giving consistent, high-quality service through your routing server.
I am a long-time user of Waze and I live in Dayton, Ohio. In more than one quarter of my travels, Waze fails with a "routing server timeout" not just once each time, but repeatedly until I stop trying. Grrrrr.
The failure rate is even higher when I travel outside of the Dayton area. Please fix your service or redesign the routing server logic.

Provide the option to Avoid a route through a state
As states continue to press forward on legislation hostile to the LGBTQ+ community - with some even including potential arrests for being in your gender identity - please consider an option to avoid routing through an area, such as a city or state.
This will be key for the personal safety of LGBTQ+ community members.

Bridge out
I was driving in an area where a bridge was out and under construction. The construction was showing up but there was no way to tell it that it was closed and for the navigation to use a different route. It kept trying to send me over the bridge. I tried several different ways to get the closure to show up.

An option to show EV charging stations on map
Waze offers an option to indicate EV charging stations in a given area but, in order to access it you need to move out from your map.
It would be great to have the option to show EV charging stations around you while you are driving rather than having to move to a separate page.

green line on landscape mode in measured area on ios
In section measurement, a green line is displayed on the left in portrait mode, indicating which phase of the measured section I am in. In landscape mode, this bar is missing. It would be nice if the line's color could change, for example, to red if the speed exceeds the limit set in the section measurement.

ezpass only roads (I-66 VA)
Waze should pop up a warning to tell users you MUST have an EZPass to use this road. This is a new issue that applies to I-66 in northern Virginia between I-495 (beltway) and DC. Effective Monday, December 4, 2017 this critical highway in the DC area used by many out of state folks, tourists and business folks alike, you must have an EZPass to get on this road. The tolls are dynamic during rush hour and have no price cap. Tolls can be $40 or more. Waze should warn drivers of this. Given the complexity of the tolling program …

Historical Traffic Data for Social Analysis
I am working in academia and would like very much to analyze social behavior by studying traffic data - example: in case of a disaster. I don't know if you keep historical data; if you do, is it possible to obtain data for an area for a certain date?

Scoreboard
One you obtain the rank of Royalty Wazer, the progress bar no longer moves. This leaves an empty area between the highest rank and the end of the progress bar.
This makes it appear as if you still have something to achieve.
Can we either move the royalty wazer rank to the end of the progress bar or have the final leg of the progress bar continue to get filled as you continue to climb the leaderboard?
Thanks! This has been bugging me for quite some time.

*NEW* hazard notification for roadkill
Dear my WAZE PPL
First, I want to thank waze for creating such an outstanding navigation tool that helps so many drivers stay informed and safe on the road. I truly appreciate how the app continuously evolves to meet the needs of its users.
I’d like to suggest a potential improvement to the “Hazards” feature. While the current options, such as “Objects on Road,” are helpful, I believe there’s an opportunity to make the app even more informative and user-friendly by adding an alert specifically for roadkill or deceased animals on the road.
In my area, it’s common to…

Aggregated traffic/report data to see Trends!
Online or in the app, provide a feature to show aggregated data. This will allow us to see all reports for say, the past month, in our area. We can spot areas that have traffic on a recurring basis, places with repeat police reports.

parking lot landmarks / traffic analysis
I would like to see certain landmarks not count as traffic analysis. If an area is marked as a restaurant, parking lot, gas station, etc.. the time a waze client spends there should NOT count against traffic analysis. Wazers can't be expecte to turn their nav system on and off just to order a burger, or fill up the tank. In reality, a nav system should be as "hands off" as possible for the daily commute. start waze when you get in the car.. go on your trip, pull over at the gas station and leave waze running. go…
