Show currency after price in fuel
In some countries such as my own, Australia, we use cents ¢ to determine the price of fuel per litre. I recently raise this as a problem in Waze Discuss as it was showing the dollar $ symbol instead of the cents ¢ symbol.
Now that that's fixed there's a limitation in the UI where this symbol can be placed. I was hoping the UI could be updated to show this symbol after the value rather than before as that's the correct way to show this type of currency.

Add feature to map that is like Google Maps
I would give this app 5 stars if the Waze app developers could put the name of the road you're traveling on behind the arrow in a bubble like Google Maps. Google Maps has this not only while navigating but while just traveling using the Map on Android Auto without navigating as well. I mentioned this before. Not sure why Waze hasn't implemented this yet. I would use this App more. Other people probably feel the same way.

Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Based on daily accident reports, mark areas with a high frequency of accidents as high-risk. Provide a voice warning: "You are approaching a dangerous area with a high concentration of traffic accidents - drive with increased caution!"In urban conditions, it can also be applied to dangerous intersections: "Dangerous intersection ahead."
For turns where accidents are often marked: "Caution, dangerous turn ahead!"
These voice warnings could greatly contribute to the safety of road users. It is important that they have a voice alert before entering the specific section.

Inclusão de alertas sobre lombadas ou quebra-molas
Criar opção de incluirmos alertas de lombada para colaboramos com a segurança e informação do APP. Aqui no Brasil esse é um item de alerta que nem sempre é sinalizado como deveria por lei. E assim, o uso do aplicativo alimentado pelos usuários seria muito útil.

Add a "prefer main roads" option
Whenever I visit an area that I'm not familiar with, Waze tends to find the fastest possible route to where I'm going, which often involves cutting through residential areas or some narrow back road. This is great if someone is late or wants to do whatever it takes to get somewhere as fast as possible, but I would love an option to prefer main roads, even if it adds a few minutes to my trip, just so the drive is as easy and safe as possible.

100 saved
I have more than 100 saved locations. Now any new locations I save do not show in my Saved list because it caps at 100 displayed. Can this be expanded? or at least show recent saved at the top?

upload your voice audio files instead of recording
It would be great to upload your audio files instead of recording them with the phone's microphone. This way you could improve the sound and make some effects and then upload your audio so that it can be heard in the best quality.

Change colour of car on “Vehicle on Shoulder” alert icon
When submitting a report and looking at the possible report types while driving. From the corner of one’s eye the “Vehicle on shoulder” alert icon and “Object” icons are very similar.
I suggest the colour of the vehicle in the “vehicle on shoulder” icon be changed to a different distinct colour that also accounts for colourblind people.
If the vehicle was blue or green for example it would be easier to quickly tell the icons apart. Otherwise I feel like I need to distract myself from driving to double check the description next to the icons before confirming the report.

Future turns display
It could be beneficial to have future turns displayed on the screen. Sometimes there would be a right turn shortly after a left turn and it causes me to miss my turn just because I wasn’t aware of the follow-up turn. Having a few future turns displayed would be useful for drivers navigating in smaller roads where there could be many turns.

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Add Old Penelope voice as an option for Spanish. The new voice is soulless. I miss Penelope voice.
Give me back Penelopes’s old voice. New Penelope’s voice is boring and soulless. If new voice were of a real person, I’d say that this person is lazy and listless.

use HN waze interpolation instead of google
We have several huge streets that make it difficult to place the house numbers, so I prefer to use interpolation by placing the house numbers in some meter intervals, but this change is usually not reflected because Waze prioritizes Google's interpolation over Waze's own data.
My suggestion is: Use Waze's interpolation when: The number is not mapped (there is no linked residential location and no house number) and there is a number greater than and less than the number searched for entered by an editor (not the automatic imported one)
Example:
Editor Editor
15 75I'm looking for the number 50, so in this example there is the interval (15-75) that was entered by an editor, so let's use Waze's interpolation
Example 2:
Imported Imported
15 75In this case, we maintain the current behavior, since we can't be sure that the imported number is in the correct location

Me gustaría que tenga una opción para confirmar el camino por el que transitas cuando hay un doble piso.
Me gustaría que waze te d runa opción para confirmar el camino transitado en caso de un segundo piso. Por ejemplo en CDMX en periférico es complicado identificar las salidas porque Waze no sabe si vas en 1er o 2do piso.

EMERGENCY FIRE RESPONSE ASSISTANCE
Hi Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature called “Emergency Fire Response Assistance” to help firefighters reach fire incidents faster and improve traffic flow around emergency scenes.
This feature could allow authorized responders to tag a “Fire Incident Zone” with the exact address, providing quick routes that avoid traffic and obstacles. Nearby users would get alerts to take alternative routes, helping clear the way for responders.
Additionally, dispatch centers could send real-time updates to firefighters (like building entry points or obstacles) for more precise navigation. Once an incident is resolved, responders could mark the area as “clear,” lifting any traffic restrictions.
This would support public safety by improving response times and minimizing congestion around fire scenes.
Thank you for considering this!

YIDDISH for WAZE
Few years ago I have created Yiddish voice for WAZE. Hundreds of Jewish people in Israel, USA, Holland and GB are hearing my voice of Yiddish. But it is a local version, and I have to send it each one, that asks me. I would like to include my two versions (one for metric system and another for miles) of Yiddish sound in your original vesrsion, so it will be a part of the language pack. I don’t ask for any money, just to make the Yiddish language a leagal part of the best navigator.
