Motorcycle mode view
When using motorcycle mode it would be nice to have all the buttons on the left side since the left hand is the only one safe to use while riding. Also maybe personalize this view for motorcycle use, only when a motorcycle vehicle is selected.

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.

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.

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.
10 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. -
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.

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

End navigation and announce "You've arrived" once a large site has been reached such as a mall or stadium that is clearly in front of you
Often we use Waze to get to a large site such as a mall or stadium we've never been to before. Once you are on the property, like the parking lot, it's very clear you are at the stadium and no further navigation is needed. However, currently Waze has some default "Destination Point" in these large sites that is arbitrary, and navigation continues even though you can see the site right in front you which can be confusing. Am I here or not? Why is telling me to turn right? Does it matter? etc etc. My suggestion is to have…

Have a way to move display icons
I would like to be able to move the icons on the screen . Also add shortcut icons to display for common used alerts/warnings. Example would be to move the speedometer icon around to a place of my liking. Then create short cut for vehicle on shoulder so I could just tap it to activate it.

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.

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.

Add ability to report gas prices
It would be nice if users could report gas prices... This would attract a LOT more wazers.
I don't mind having to manually enter the data, but reporting it could be as simple as taking a pic of the price sign with your phone, and on the server side, it gets interpreted and organized into grade of gas and price.
Wazers will then be able to search filtering out stations that have (or don't have) diesel, or if your vehicle requires higher octane, one will be able to filter out specific details to match their needs.

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.

Remove the bell or “ding” noise for hazards and replace with verbal, spoken warnings
Spoken warnings are the old behavior for the app and they need to be replaced. Example - “Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead.” Instead, there’s now nothing but a nondescript “ding.” The ding is jarring, and provides no useful information without me looking at my phone. I need as much information possible conveyed verbally because I am not always in the position to look at my phone. I’m baffled this functionality was removed.

maximum speed
I use waze with different vehicles so that the
personalized ETA is still wrong when changing from car to moped. Entering a maximum speed for my current travel or for each vehicle type would be very useful.7 votes -
Offer the choice of motorcycle as the vehicle, because in the city we are faster than car.
The bike is faster than car in urban traffic. We disrupt statistics and info-traffic
2 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

"Hazard on shoulder" menu should include "Road crew"
In Massachusetts, road/highway cleanup crews on are always accompanied by a state police or sheriff's van. I would like to report the location of a road crew without having to tag it as a "vehicle stopped on shoulder" or "police visible" because neither of these options is very accurate. Can a "road crew" option please be added to the "Hazard on shoulder" menu?

Adding Roadside Animal detection system to Waze as a feature will help reduce animal roadkill problem.
Roadside Animal Detection (RADAR) systems – A computerized signs with flashing light stripped when an animal breaks a light beam . These can reduce collisions with large animals. These alerts and captured images can also be sent to different GPS apps like Waze, so that drivers coming by on that road can be alerted through their GPS apps and slow down when crossing that area.
