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.

Right hand drive vehicles
The current set up on CarPlay is set up for left hand drive vehicles, here in the uk using the report functions is difficult, and also it looks odd that the directions are on the right side of the screen and the map is on the left, it’s difficult to see, please add an option to mirror everything for RHD vehicles, thank you :)

"Watch out, multiple alerts ahead"
If there was a vehicle stopped on road and a cop in the vicinity, Waze will only alert me of the cop. There should be multiple alerts that could be given to me at once.

Transfer ride to fellow driver
As multiple drivers in one vehicle take turns, we would like to transfer the ride to the other's phone, and continue the navigation.
This is not the same as sharing the ride details, because then others can only follow the ride.

Cars with caravans
Could you do routes for cars and caravans. This should take into account the extra width and the difficulty in reversing along country lanes if you meet an oncoming vehicle

Dynamic reporting buttons
It would be great to have the report buttons to
dynamically reorder according to highest usage. This could be on a per person or per region or all Waze basis.
I personally use the construction, vehicle stopped, and police reports the most.Preselect most commonly used options (e.g. type of hazard)
Dynamically create favourite buttons at the front of the list for the user's most commonly made reports.

Inform drivers of vehicles on side of road
I'm driving in one direction and inform other Waze drivers of a vehicle on my side, but when I'm heading back, I notice that the vehicle I tagged earlier is gone. I would like to be able to have the option to click "not there". This goes for police as well because there are times where a cop is posted, but when I get to the area, it's gone. I believe people are just posting that a vehicle or cop is there as a " joke". There should be a way to stop that as well. Send me an email…

Differentiate between HOV(High Occupancy Vehicle) and an HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes.
In metropolitan Atlanta, the Georgia D.O.T. has been transforming HOV lanes to HOT Toll lanes, which will cause you to face a traffic ticket in the mail for $150, if you do not have a valid Georgia Peach (Toll paying) Pass, or a similar pass from select other states. The State of Georgia has plans to expand the program in other metropolitan regions as well as other freeways in the Atlanta region. The ability to alert drivers that the HOV Lane ends and a TOLL Lane is replacing it ahead is an important piece of information.

Notification prioritisation
Sometimes when there is a vehicle stopped near a speed camera, the app will prioritise showing the stopped vehicle over the speed camera. Can we have a setting to allow us to set notification priorities to dictate which notifications are shown ahead of others.

Reporting hazards with Siri using Apple CarPlay and Waze
Waze has possibility to use Siri shortcuts to navigate home, work or other destinations, as well as setting level of notifications. Please add possibility to report hazards like police, stopped vehicle on the road, road works, traffic etc. Using Siri, this would increase safety dramatically as a driver would not need to touch the screen for that multiple times.

Speed limit
Please allow us to remove the digital speedometer, and instead show a much larger speed limit for the road! The current speed limit sign is very small on some displays, and since every car already has a speedometer, I would like the option to remove it from the app and just show a large icon for speed limit only

Select initial driving direction
Very often Waze starts up navigation facing the wrong driving direction. The direction is rectified as the vehicle starts moving, but it can be too late for the initial turn.
Please add the ability to switch driving direction when navigation starts, via a button.
Additionally, Waze should make a better guess at the intial driving direction by using compass data.
11 votesThank 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. -
One Click Button
To make Waze more hands free and safe, please add a "Vehicle on the side of road" button on the main map. One tap notifications will help drivers quickly notify the community of stopped vehicles and will allow less app usage while driving. it currently takes several taps to mark a stopped vehicle.

New Navigation Vehicles
I'm not experiencing any problems. Waze is great... Better than Google Maps... Only thing I WOULD like to see is the satellite view on Waze, but that's minor...
I would simply like to suggest a new vehicle. May I suggest the 1. V-Series Cadillac Escalade & Escalade ESV, 2. Chevy Tahoe & Suburban High County and 3. GMC Yukon Denali & Yukon Denali XL?
I think these additional options will be very cool. Please also remember to add the panoramic mooroof...
Thank you in advance

Don't allow Wazers that aren't actually moving click on the "not there" button for police reported. Cops are just clicking "not there."
I was informed by a police officer that they use Waze too, and just click the "not there" button as they sit there and clock drivers. If your vehicle isn't in motion, that icon should not be available, or some other idea to beat that. Thanks.
