Please make the 'next road' number bigger. The icon is too small to read safely while driving.
Please make the 'next road' number bigger. It's a big image with a small font. Knowing where I am going next is vital but the font is too smaller. Either make it bigger by default or let me choose to make it bigger.

Pedestrian crosswalks as a hazard (For crosswalks with no stop signs)
There are some crosswalks with no stop signs. I believe this would make crosswalks easier to spot when more obvious signals are not present (stop signs, lights, etc)

Stoplights on map
You need to have stoplights on the map when. Giving directions. I know Apple Maps has it. It helps when coming to a turn but there is a light before it. It’s more precise.

Need to distinguish between HOV and Express/HOT/Toll lanes
Maybe this is California specific, but we have both HOV lanes, which require 2+ passengers but have no toll required, and then we have Express Lanes, which are toll lanes that you can drive in regardless of number of passengers, but do require a toll (paid for via a transponder - Fastrak in CA).
I drive by myself so I cannot use the HOV lanes, but I do have a Fastrak transponder so I can use the Express lanes. But if I tell Waze that I have Fastrak, it automatically also routes me on the HOV lanes, which I cannot be in. Two consequences: 1) The route duration/ETA is always way off because it is calculated assuming I am in the HOV lanes, and 2) it keeps telling me to get back in the HOV lanes which is annoying.
What is needed is ability to say "Yes - I have a transponder and want to use the express lanes" and, SEPERATELY say yes/no I have 2+ passengers and want to use HOV lanes if available and optimal.

Show all "Unpaved" roads as brown, like "Off-road / Not maintained"
Waze should show all roads with the "Unpaved" attribute as brown, the same way the "Off-road / Not maintained" are shown.
It should not matter what the type of road is. If it is unpaved, it should be shown to the user.
This is especially a problem on private unpaved roads, where you cant even just go in to the WME and change the road type to "Off-road / Not maintained", as that would mess with the routing. Knowing the state of the road you are about to drive down should be an important thing, and is why people even use waze in the first place.

The option to be able to mark speed bumps or potholes on the map for yourself or for everyone
Mark for yourself or others the areas where there are speed bumps or potholes to reduce speed in advance before reaching that area marked on the map and be careful, since in Mexico there are many speed bumps that are not marked, in addition potholes are common, and the fact of being able to reduce speed in advance would make many drivers take better care of their vehicle.

Avoid traffic jams.
I often travel with 3 kids on long road trips. Always rather be moving than standing in place with screaming kids and I am SURE a lot of people would agree. I recently had a trip take 10+ hours instead of the original 7 because of completely predictable and avoidable traffic jams on highways. Clearly not there in the middle of the night when I depart but jams there every day since they are because of ongoing construction work on a lane. I kind of assumed waze already tried to help you avoid these but I guess I was wrong. Ran into 4 of them.
I need a setting to avoid jams appearing on my route with 2 extra parameters: max acceptable length of of a traffic jam (in minutes) and max percentage of remaining trip length added as a consequence of choosing an alternative route.
This could be via a notification showing you the jam estimated length and the cost of reroute.
Ex:
I enable the feature and chose a 10 minute max jam time and a 15% max time increase.
A notification appears telling me a new jam appeared on my current route. Jam seems 15 minutes long and the alternative route adds 1 hour to my route (10% of my total remaining trip time) and I gladly accept and am rerouted to leave the highway and rather keep moving that waiting in a standstill.I often travel with 3 kids on long road trips.

Bad weather warnings in both lanes
The weather warning should be on both lanes because it affects both sides. It doesn't snow in only one lane.

Aviso Radar fijo
Cuando te aproximas a un radar fijo, Waze sólo te avisa por voz (en el mapa siempre aparece) del radar si en ek momento que tiene que dar la alerta estás circulando a más velocidad de la permitida.
Puede darse el caso de que circules a menos velocidad, entonces el aviso no suene con voz sino solo visualmente en el mapa y en el tramo entre el aviso y el radar aumentes la velocidad y no te haya salido ninguna alerta por voz del radar.
Debería avisar por voz siempre, aunque circules por debajo del límite, salvo que lo desactives en el menú.

Type of hazard
Better options for reporting a hazard, particularly a hazard that is in live lane of carriageway. One example that stands out would be to report a car that has stopped in the live carriageway. Currently, I can only report a vehicle on shoulder.
Example: 'Report - Hazard - Vehicle Stopped in Carriageway'.
This is a very important reporting option.
Example 2: 'Report - Hazard - Wildlife in Carriageway'.
Basically, more hazard reporting options would be useful.5 votes -
