Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Permission to use a specific private road
In many places there is more than one access road, one for guests and one for residents. The entrance that is for residents only is usually marked as a private road. WAZE takes me a full circle to get around the entrance that I am allowed to use as a resident. I suggest that there should be an option to add permissions to use a particular private road.

See EV recharging stations during navigation
While driving, the charging stations are not visible. If they were visible, we could select them directly on the map to modify the navigation.

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.

Accessibility
Suggestion:
Improve accessibility by offering larger and more legible text options for users with difficulty reading small, intricate, or black-colored fonts, as they appear in the current interface. Even with larger fonts and adjusted text styles enabled on my father's phone, the app doesn't adapt well to these settings, making it hard to read addresses and other details. I suggest implementing better accessibility features to address these needs.

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.

“Back” button in Reports
I noticed that when you want to report something (hazard, blocked lane, police, etc…) sometimes I may press the wrong category for what I want to report, but there’s no “Back” button, only “Cancel”. But there’s problem with cancelling, that is you lose the exact location you passed and if you report again it may be misaligned.
There should be an option for a back button to search for other categories in case you misclicked in a category that is not the one you wanted to report initially. This way, the system still holds your “original” location when you pressed to report and the flag will be in the exact location because you didn’t cancel it.
I hope it’s understandable what I’m saying.
Thanks!

Construction notification
Construction alerts are far too annoying. This has been mentioned often by users here. The issue is that they are constantly alerting, making it hard to focus on driving when you have to keep clearing them. Often I will get up to 10 alerts for the same construction zone. This is ridiculous and not helpful.
One solution would be to have construction zones auto populate rather than by users. I know this is done with other apps. The state DOT department ms provide regular notifications of construction in their state. These could be uploaded. Alternatively, just allow one notification per zone, not one from every driver that passes by.
I have been using Waze since its beginning. However, I am considering switching to something else just because of this issue. I drive a lot and listen to podcasts. All of these construction alerts cause my podcast feed to stop playing.

Allow Waze map to display on the driver display, for example on the Land Rover Pivi Pro system. Google maps can do it, so why can't Waze?

Expanded voice command for Car Play
Expand voice commands to Car Play to allow hands-free communication to notify other drivers of road incidents, police, etc. This would be a huge safety issue for the driver as well as providing faster and more accurate information for other drivers.

smarter routes with road closures
Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:
We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).
Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to the same point B if segment D was not closed, the best route would be A->D->B.
What I propose here is to consider the end time of the closure as an additional cost of the route. Let's consider: Segment D will be reopened in 15m, we would take the current time (20m of the normal route) and add it to the remaining closing time (in this case 15m) giving a total time of 35m which is much shorter and much better than the route the other way (which would take 2h30m).

Refined UI
This may not pertain to most people, but for those of you who use the Waze app in the landscape view may have similar issues. First of all, the alert box for train crossings and red light cameras takes up approximately 40% of the bottom of the screen, as well as the direction arrows information covers the speed display. Some of the other icons are piled on top of each other. If the UI were to be more like the Android auto version of Waze or Gmaps it would be much better and easier to use.
Take a look at the following to see a comparison.

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.

Inclusion of CNG as a Fuel Type on Waze
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest the inclusion of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) as a fuel option in the Waze app.
In Brazil, where CNG is widely used, many drivers would greatly benefit from this functionality. CNG is known for being a more economical and environmentally friendly alternative, helping to reduce CO2 emissions.
Adding CNG as a fuel option in Waze would not only enhance the user experience but also demonstrate the platform's commitment to sustainability and adapting to regional needs. I am confident that this change would be well-received by the millions of drivers using Waze daily in Brazil.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Best regards,
Jorge de Oliveira Junior
