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.

ETA on the front of the App
When you have your 1 stop route ready to go. The front page shows the ETA at the bottom, which is great. My suggestion has to do when you create a stop before the final destination. The display shows only the ETA of the 1st stop not the entire trip. It would be convenient for the area to show the first stop ETA and the final ETA. Either both at the same time or rotate both. Otherwise I have to go into another page to see my final ETA. Then when the first stop has completed then just show me…

Allow a start/stop feature for hazzards/lane restrictions, traffic jams, etc.
When traveling through a construction area allow a start/stop point so others can choose atl. routes. This can also be for speed reductions, accident sites, etc.

Add option to set a destination as final destination in when adding a stop, not just the existing options of "Add a stop" and "New Drive"
Sometimes when running errands, I'm already driving to "A". But then I want to get directions on how to get from "A" to "B". With the current options of "Add a Stop" and "New Drive", I would have to "Stop", set directions to "B", and then add "A" as stop. This is very complicated and it would be much simpler if there was an option to simply add "B" as final destination while I'm already navigating to "A".

Add stoplights and stop signs. It makes calculating your next turn much easier to figure out while driving in unfamiliar territory.
It is much easier to calculate your next turn when you have a landmark like a stop light or stop sign.

A second nickname for use while driving dangerous mountain passes.
All WAZE apps would have an optional second nickname that is the same for all WAZE users. (ex. "SafetyTrakr") When selected this nickname would be visible to local incident response agencies so they could track your path as you travel through dangerous areas such as mountain paths during severe weather. If your icon stops or disappears, that would be cause for concern by the emergency response agency. For those with privacy concerns, it could be turned on only if you get stranded in one of these monitored areas. Your icon would then show up as being a stopped vehicle.

When I hit the park button, make it so that I can find my car later (with an arrow and distance) so I can find my car.
They make apps to do this and Waze almost has everything you need. It could be great if Waze suggested it after you stop moving for a period of time at your destination.

Reminder: time to take a break!
We suggest introducing notifications that would remind drivers to take a 10 minute break when they have driven for 2 hours non-stop, and after a 4 hour drive would suggest taking a 20 minute power nap.
Research by the Latvian Road Traffic Safety Directorate shows that 11,7% of drivers are at high risk of falling asleep, and 1/3 of all drivers have experienced falling asleep at the wheel for a second in the last year.
By reminding drivers how important it is to take breaks, Waze can help prevent tragic accidents and save lives.

Remove annoying ads during navigation
Remove annoying ads during navigation. They appear while stopped, but sometimes they don't disappear when you start moving again. Very annoying and unsafe.

Train crossings and train stoppage.
Okay, I thought your app had everything until today. I ran into a slow train crossing. This is a difficult one because trains are there and then not there. I would like the ability to report trains and maybe speed/length in general terms. Then there are the trains that just stop on the crossing for an extended amount of time. Those would be very helpful to report. But, at least being able to report the train is crossing and direction of movement will help people I think.

Apple CarPlay shortcut for reporting a hazard
To report a hazard (ie pothole) requires 4 clicks. Would be great if there was a few one click shortcuts to report the most common hazards such as a pothole, police, and vehicle stopped on side of road. This would be much safer than fumbling around to report a pothole while driving.

Adjust routes
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitations:
- Add the ability to manually edit a route with multiple intermediate stops
Waze usually finds good routes, but sometimes I want to manually adjust it — set 2–3 waypoints, fix the path myself, and avoid places I don’t want to pass. Right now, it’s not possible to fully customize a route this way.
- Allow starting a route from a different location (not current GPS location)
In Ukraine, GPS can be unreliable or blocked in certain areas. Sometimes…

Public Bathroom Button
Have a button that when pushed routes drivers to the nearest public bathroom and then returns to route once done with the bathroom. I've seen other suggestions that are related, but I think it needs to be something really simple because the bathroom issue usually comes up when someone says "we need to stop NOW" and it's never at a convenient time!

Predictive Traffic Light Data
I have an idea that will revolutionize navigation in cities and significantly benefit Waze users - predictive traffic light data.
By leveraging real-time GPS data from our massive user base, our app can start predicting traffic light patterns at intersections. Using algorithms to analyze when cars stop and start at lights, we can gradually build models mapping out sequences and wait times for traffic signals across entire cities.
This would enable sending users notifications in advance whether they are likely to hit the next green or red light. They can adjust speed accordingly, eliminating unnecessary braking and idling. The benefits…

Protest the removal of the police warning feature!
The Sheriff's association is using the tired old excuse that the police warning feature in the Waze app "could be used by terrorists." That is a RIDICULOUS excuse! The truth is that they just don't want us having the ability to warn others about their friggin' speed traps, and they don't want us avoiding tickets! Terrorists my shiny white butt! They use all of their technology against us, and then when we have something to use against them they just don't like it. This feature in Waze is just the next step above radar detectors. Well we got those and…

Waze should stop after disconnecting from car play
Waze starts automatically after connecting to carplay, but doesn’t turn off automatically after disconnecting from carplay. It should turn off automatically based on proximity to destination + carplay disconnect + optional couple minutes delay :) I think this will be a better user experience and will improve battery life of the user. I saw a few threads on reddit about this issue but without a solution.

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.
