'Plan a Delivery'
I'm a fast food delivery driver who uses Waze to get around it would be nice to have next to recent, saved places & plan a drive a plan a delivery option where you can quickly add multiple destinations similar to add a stop apart from you can add more than one and it automatically does the nearest locations first, obviously this isn't useful for people not working in delivery so I'd suggest hiding the option by default and have a delivery driver setting to reveal it
Also a must have for delivery drivers is to show the postcode…

Allow Restriction Conditions for Workspaces; & Allow Areas to have Local Permit/Pass Types (IE: Student Parking, Staff Parking)
Certain Roadways are set as restricted due to having gates, or other access controlling systems in place. The Waze Engine ignores these roadways as far as I am aware, which can affect those who work in the area. I think it would be a cool feature to have the ability to allow Regional Restrictions, it would benefit large sites, such as Colleges, Gated Communities, and other high density areas with varying road restrictions.
I have attached two images of Restriction Concepts I have made within the Restriction Editor.

I'm looking for a solution for ride-sharing in a rural area
Folks in small rural communities waste a lot of gas driving into town (25 miles for us) for errands. I wish there were an app-based solution. I'm in the Sierra foothills, in Yuba County, California.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

In Brazil there are many dangerousslums and small villages.It would be important if we could score on the map these streets as a risk area.
Rate the streets in low-risk, medium and high, and when the Waze map out a route that goes through these streets, the client can choose whether this path or not.

Improvement needed
I was checking out waze and I was really impressed... I felt like the waze experience was incomplete without a proper feedback. Hence I decided to give you guys a few suggestions on it: 1) Pls include downloading of maps of a certain area or preferably offline caching of Entire maps. 2) I noticed that initially the direction of the heading was wrong 4 out of 5 times, thus why not included an optional magnetic correction as it will definitely remove this error.

Partner with TV and radio so that they can report what the Wazers are posting.
My area has poor traffic reporting. I think it would to everyone's advantage if radio and tv stations would report directly from what Waze is having posted. They could incorporate this much the same as a weather report.

recycling Feature
Dear Waze, I am a sixth grader at Spring Creek Elementary in Dallas, Texas. My robotics team and I are working on our project for the First Lego League City Shaper season. The goal of the project this season is to somehow improve our city. We are acknowledging that the world is having a hard time recycling. Would you help our cause and consider adding a special feature on Waze or Google Maps that shows where recycling bins owned by stores and other buildings that have signed up to have their recycling bin available to the public. Recycling is important since…

Live Web Feed Of Incidents For Selected Areas
Working with the Florida Highway Patrol, our Computer Aided Dispatch program feeds all traffic incidents, road blockage, etc to our website for public view. I'm sure other agencies have features like this as well. I think being able to take this data and feed it into Waze would make a huge difference. Who monitors a website while on a road trip?
I also think having a way for staff in a Traffic Management Center or Emergency Communication Center to be able to monitor a feed of incidents in their specific area could be an extremely valuable tool in helping to…

AskWazersBox - a hybrid reporting tool enhancing Wazers and Map Editors cooperation
As StreetView is often outdated or just does not exist when trying to keep Waze Maps updated with latest road constructions or changes, road configurations/restrictions/speed limits/signs etc. needs to be checked and verified on-spot. There's no chance Waze Map Editors will go and check everything themselves. We have so many Wazers driving around that could help them answering specific questions.
I suggest creating a hybrid reporting tool that would extend existing reporting functionality and help Waze Map Editors gathering specific answers they need directly from Wazers who are on-spot. This would let to keep Waze Maps updated as…

Store reports created offline for short period. I.E. Police reports and accidents, see comments
I travel a lot in weak cell service areas on major interstates. I will see an accident or Police situation when I have GPS but not network it says sorry you can't report do it later. However it might be 5 or 10 miles down the road before I can then the event isn't in the right location. Suggest storing the location information along with the time so that when network returns it can be posted.

A confidence meter
Essentially a meter that displays a grade of confidence in current reports based on the amount of wazers passing through an area. A highway in the middle of LA would require a higher amount of wazers as the chances of a new speed trap being set up or a blown tire happening is more likely.
Let say the H1 here in hawaii gets 100 wazers driving through every hour in busy times. During busy hours it would require 5 wazers every 10 minutes to get a grade of A in cofidence. If it dips down to 5 wazers in…

Percentage of trip completed
Hi, if you could put a fine blue line, similar to a 'loading' line between the directions notification area and the map area that shows how far into the trip you are.. Like a percentage of travel completed.. Ie.. "you are half way there"

Change from Popups to small notification Banners
Popups are quite intrusive. For instance, while Waze is recalculating, which can take a while sometimes, I need to see the map to figure out the next turn quickly. There are many other examples of intrusive popups, i.e. Danger ahead, Speed camera ahead, etc.
Popups should be shown as banners. A banner should be a rectangle less than an inch tall and as wide as the screen, aligned to the top or bottom of the screen. So, the rest of the screen would not be hidden at all, but would be instead completely available and usable as always.

re-route based on upcoming traffic conditions / congestions
While waze does show upcoming traffic condition on one's route it does not provide facility to automatically re-route the traveler around traffic congestion using surface streets or alternate highway/freeway.
This is essential to optimizing waypoint ordering/priority:
This ought be available in other-than a binary toggle (yes or no). While yes and no are suitable broad options, waze ought provider finer grained control of re-routing as it does now (faster or shorter). These should include
(1) time windows
(2) zones / areas
(3) specific roads / highways / freeways
(4) density of other Wazers
(5) using either / both…

Show small roads in rural areas
The Waze client, and also the "live map" on the web site, hides smaller roads as you zoom out. This is fine in cities where there are many roads. However, in rural areas, the small roads are simetimes the only roads, and if they are hidden then the map can appear completely blank.
I suggest changing to an algorithm that takes the amount of clutter into account. Something like "first disply the major highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the minor highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display…

Speed limit on Android Auto
Thanks for finally making Waze available on Android Auto but you left out the speed limit and it is one of my favorite features. It's especially helpful in rural areas where speed limit signs are few and far between and it makes it easy for law enforcement to set up speed traps.
43 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

waze travel
I guess all road travelers would like the following idea.
It won't be a bad idea if Waze adds an option or button called Waze Travel where the app suggests hotels Airbnb or camping areas for users when they have to travel for more than 8 hours so the distance can be cut in half.
for example if I am traveling from a country to another and I have more than 8h hours on the road it takes me time to divide the distance locate the road I am tacking and then find hotels around the area.
