Human on shoulder/road
Once, we received a report of an animal on the shoulder of the road, so we paid some attention and looked for animals on the tree line, but it was a person. It was pitch dark, and we drove a few inches away from them because they were in entirely dark clothes on a highway at night. We can report humans on the app to save lives.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my old car, I want to use the motorways, I don't want to avoid toll roads and I don't have permission to use restricted areas in the city center.
I wish I could change all these driving settings just by choosing the vehicle I'm driving, not having to reconfigure everything every time.I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage.

Never change my NON-TOLL route to a TOLL ROUTE without my explicit permission
We are on an extended road trip. We EXPLICITLY told Waze to avoid TOLLS. As you are driving along, Waze will pop up and suggest going the toll route because it will be faster, albeit, more expensive. If you don't happen to see the pop up and don't select "No Thanks", Waze WILL SWITCH IT AUTOMATICALLY to the TOLL ROUTE. If there's another setting to stop that, I haven't discovered it yet. You SHOULD NEVER EVER change my route just because it's faster without my explicit permission to do so.

Heads up display issues
I regularly use Android Auto which integrates nicely with my BMW's heads up display. When using Waze, there are two issues I notice immediately. The first are the suggested lanes is not displayed, yet Google Maps will show the lanes. Also, when a specific font is used, the characters don't show correctly. Instead I get question marks. I have images to share, but don't know how through this site.

Allow crucial specifications for everybody
Every truckdriver and caravan driver is desperately waiting for Waze to launch the ability to:
1. Define these type of vehikels
2. Define speed restrictions (like allowed speed 80 or 90 km/hour)
3. Have local weather info om the waze screen
This would expand the use of Waze immensely. Waze would be much more attractive to advertisement AND we would be more than willing to pay for a ‘pro verspin’ with these crucial features!5 votes -

Predictive Traffic Light Data
I have an idea that will revolutionize navigation in cities and significantly benefit Waze users - predictive traffic light data.
By leveraging real-time GPS data from our massive user base, our app can start predicting traffic light patterns at intersections. Using algorithms to analyze when cars stop and start at lights, we can gradually build models mapping out sequences and wait times for traffic signals across entire cities.
This would enable sending users notifications in advance whether they are likely to hit the next green or red light. They can adjust speed accordingly, eliminating unnecessary braking and idling. The benefits are immense:
Smoother driving - No more anxiety around unpredictable lights.
Optimized routes - We can factor light timings into the fastest routes.
Saved fuel - Less braking means big gas savings over time.
Reduced emissions - Lower carbon footprint via smoother driving.
Decreased congestion - Optimized traffic flow eases congestion.
Improved safety - reducing sudden stops lowers accident rates.
In essence, this becomes an optimization and prediction engine to enhance navigation, leveraging real-time crowdsourced data. The more users we have, the smarter the system gets. We can even work directly with city officials to improve traffic planning using our insights.The data and technology already exist - this puts them to use for a game-changer feature. Drivers spend 13% of urban commute times waiting at lights - we can give them that time back, and revolutionize how people and vehicles flow in the world's cities.
Let's discuss the viability and impact further. This could redefine navigation and mobility for a greener, smarter future. Are you in?

Opção de deixar o celular bloqueado enquanto uso o waze
Assim como outras pessoas sugeriram, venho aqui reforçar a importância dessa funcionalidade. Também já tive meu celular roubado enquanto usava o Waze e os bandidos acessaram tudo que podiam. Isso é uma questão de segurança, principalmente em São Paulo que esses roubos acontecem o tempo todo.
Criem uma opção de manter apenas o Waze na tela e o celular ficar bloqueado, exigindo o Face ID/senha quando for acessar outro aplicativo.5 votes -
Beep and messaging in traffic
I think bringing back the beeping and messaging functions while in traffic can be useful for drivers to talk and possibly discuss alternate routes.

Beperkte snelheid
Graag een voertuigcategoriekeuze toevoegen: auto met aanhangwagen. Deze zou dan rekening moeten houden met lagere maxinumsnelheden en verbodsbepalingen. Erg handig voor bv vakantieverkeer met caravans/vouwwagens en beroepsverkeer (aannemers/hoveniers/etc).

Hazard Report End Date
Give users the option to set a hazard report time out or end date. It should default to something sensible for the type of hazard, but can be modified if desired.
For example, there are currently roadworks ongoing for a 2 month period on my daily commute while they are joining up roads and installing a roundabout. The road surface is gravel as they are replacing the road base.
Every day I report it, and almost every day it times out and disappears by the time I drive home again.
Similarly, potholes do not disappear until they are fixed - the warnings should not time out.
If the report is voted as no longer there, then it can be deleted early.

Use ⛽icon to display station prices along route.
Add a ⛽ icon to main screen - when tapped, it would display gas prices from stations along your route within the next 50mi. Tap again to toggle off. Select preferred fuel type in settings. Current options are not driver friendly.

Unpaved roads
Ability to not only identify unpaved roads but also the option to avoid them all together. Ran into this issue when traveling through Antigua with less than ideal vehicle.
