Ability to add obstructions offline
Wish there was a way to add (eg, road closures) offline - currently it seems the only way to do it is to actually drive there until the triangle button appears on the screen. Trying to warn everyone as a closed road is currently showing as roadworks/closed lane.

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

Wide/Oversize Load Hazard
As a Wide/Oversize Load Escort it would be great to have an option on the Hazard menu to warn of "WIDE LOAD" hazards such as narrow bridges, low wires, etc. because it often involves dangerous last minute lane changes or braking.

Make Waze a perfect navigation system
It definitely needs lane guidance (even google maps which technically is not a navigation system has lane guidance)
When you search for POI it should tell you how far (distance and time) off rout the POI is from your rout. (again google maps does that.)
Wase has problem with long distance. I travel a lot from Somerset NJ to Toronto Canada, and always have to wait at least half an hour for Wase to start working aside from several times crashing and not being able to do anything with phone because it crashes. This might be due to large amount…

Map icon indicator showing destination is on the left side or right side
When approaching your destination, there needs to be a Left side or Right side indicator icon on the map. I live in a city where there's a 3-4 lane one-way road and is frustrating when I'm approaching my destination and it doesn't tell me if it's going to be on the left side or right side. I don't use the map voice so that's not an option. Please do not tell me this feature exists when it doesn't.

Suggested driving speed based on traffic
Based on current driving conditions, the app would let you know how fast you should be going to keep traffic moving (i.e., if it was heavy traffic the app would recommend a speed of 10mph vs. moderate traffic with a recommended speed of 35mph). The feature would also suggest a lane you should be driving in, based on GPS speed, so drivers who prefer to go at a modest highway speed are in the middle or right lanes.

Your new app is BAD. THE “plan a drive” is buried, there still isn’t an easy way to add a stop. I’ve quit using Waze as my regular map.
Make the app ACCURATE, and easy to use, plan a drive, change starting location, correct lanes to be in.- NO, I can’t “ stay in the HOV lane” , and exit the freeway at the same time!
I can’t be in the leftmost turn lane, and exit right to the freeway!
I’d like it to be easy to use-change start location, add a stop, maybe even help me route a drive- which stop in which order ( start and stop location, with 2-3 stops on the way)1 vote -
Slowpoke Driver
Include under the Hazard option "Slowpoke Driver in Speed/Passing Lane Traveling Under 60 mph" to alert other drivers like me who find this a daily nuisance as it adds to the traffic problem driving in Los Angeles freeways

Mistake in your guidance system
Your guidance system sends everyone to the wrong street when you put in Blue Ridge Lane in Woodside (Redwood City) California. Something is wrong in your input

short description for all alerts will be easy to undertand the problem in ahead
It's very common in Argentina to see multiple alerts at the same location. We tend to have these kinds of issues, and Waze clearly always shows you the most important one, ignoring the other warnings. It would be great if the other alerts had a brief description, no more than two or three words, so you could know in advance what kind of problem there is, especially when it doesn't show the corresponding alert because another, higher-priority alert is active. I've driven over 70,000 km in a year, and you can't imagine how many times I could have avoided traffic…

Pothole in specific lanes/ on shoulder and other stuff too
I want waze to say a couple of things
1. I like the idea of knowing where potholes are on the road but I would really like it if it said what lane it’s in and what shoulder it’s on that way I’m not noticing it at the last minute
2. I would really like it if waze said in 1,000 feet turn left or right onto this or that road I miss it when waze says that it would be really helpful for a lot of wazers imo2 votes -
Reporting of road works to actually work
I report the same lane closure every day and as a royal user I'm confused as to why I'm being ignored?? Would be great if reports actually worked

Toll Prices
It would be nice if we could have a Toll Prices option. Low-under $3; Med - $3 to $5; High over $5. This could prepare other Wazers for how long they would be in traffic if the toll is too high to take the toll lane. Thank you for considering this option.
Sara2 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

הארכת זמן ההתראה לפני פניות
When approaching a right or left turn, the application many times doesn't give enough time to respond.
I assume this might be partly because of inaccuracies in the car location, but I think the basic problem is not recognizing it takes time to move from lane to lane, especially in crowded roads.
In my opinion you should lengthen the time for the final alert to at least 6-8 seconds before the turn.
I must emphasize that this time should be the time of the end of the alert, and not the beginning of it!1 vote -
Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts
Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.
When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.
Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to…

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I love the…

Remove excess map details when entering/ exiting busy highway intersections with many entry points or circular roads that adds confusiont
For example:
1) I don't need to know the lanes that not in my direction of travel/ against my flow
2) If it's a lane that is parallel to me but something that I can't get into and no need to knowAt busy intersection with 4-5 exit ramps and inter-looping lanes from different directions, there can be information overload and confuses the driver on which is the right exit/ entry lane to use.
Put these not-useful-to-me/ distracting information into a very lightened colour or remove them totally?
