Love the app. Please add , "Hey Dumb Butts, STOP RUBBER NECKING AND DRIVE!" You are causing the traffic delays.
Way to Tell Drivers to stop rubber necking. The stopping/braking to look is causing traffic delays.

Two new buttons. To make the auto zoom stop.
Hello, We would like you to develop a button on Waze to click the map to above view to STAY ON WHAT IS LOOKED UP. The same for zoom.
A button that lets the user look at the map from directly above in map view. A map view button that holds the map view and stops the auto route view stop.
A hold button, that holds the view that is set by the user.

Award points for stopping at or using advertisers.
Maybe 10 to 20 points for buying gas or eating a burger at an advertisers location. Could be tied to a code you have to enter for the points which you get when you use the location. Might be a big plus for advertisers ie feedback on advertising dollars spent.

Make list of "suggested eta recipients" editable
Every time I go anywhere using Waze it "helpfully" pops up a picture of ONE person: my ex (and the option to add others). The only person I've ever sent an eta to is my ex, so I guess I'm just doomed to see their contact pic every time I drive?
Even though I've gotten rid of all my Waze friends (why would I need to know when my friend halfway across the country is driving? That's just annoying), and even though I've completely un-synced my contacts (stopped using "send eta" when the resulting info was fairly useless (ex has…

Avoid a specific road
I've seen a number of posts regarding this, and myself have wanted this on various occasions for a number of different reasons. The alternatives (avoid highway, avoid toll, avoid dirt) are useful in many cases, but there are also many cases where they simply don't serve the actual need.
For example, this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/comments/6vfd6m/can_i_stop_waze_from_rerouting_or_select_a/) is from a user that wants to specifically avoid the Capital Beltway (I-495). Not because it's a highway, and not because of a perceived inability for Waze to determine traffic, but just as a personal preference. As another example, sometimes when driving through…

Enable passenger search while driving in android auto mode
In android auto the search is removed until the car is stopped. My passenger wants to search for a new location destination. Sadly we have to stop the car to do that. A prompt asking if you are the driver would be better, then allow them to search. How can waze assume all interaction must be the driver?? If the driver declares to be a passenger well that's driver negligence but stop All interaction to prevent that, this renders the app useless at times.

Better 'ok Google' voice control
Since its simple enough to configure Google to auto-listen for 'ok Google' and its voice recognition is much faster than the three-finger touch version in Waze, could Waze implement a full set of commands for the 'ok Google' interface?
Examples:
* Okay Google, Navigate home with Waze (obvious)
* Okay Google, Send alert police with Waze (sends notification)
* Okay Google, Add stop, coffee with Waze (opens the add-stop interface with a search result for 'coffee')
* Okay Google, stop navigating with Waze (stop current navigation)Better touchless controls should be a major priority and the Android voice system is…

cumulate roundabouts
when there is a series of roundabouts where you have a long straight route, the voice guidance quickly becomes annoying, as it repeats the same thing over and over again.
take this example (i have recorded the route and waze behaviour) https://youtu.be/80v8nIPkqQ0
you hear the voice guidance repeating itself all over again
instead when i have a clearly straight route interrupted by roundabouts, please just tell me "roundabout, slow down". that's the most important thing a driver need to listen to when they approach a roundabout that does not change their course.
stop repeating to me that i should take…

Please improve "Watch my drive...".
Please improve "Watch my drive...". It should stay on real-time & not disconnect. It doesn't follow real-time nor recover when stops. (Android 13, Galaxy S22 Ultra)

Automatic route overview
One feature I miss from iGo was if there were no directions due within two miles the map automatically zoomed out to a North up overview of the entire route. When the two mile threshold was breached the view returned to the normal 3D view. I would love this in Waze. I know that you can do it manually but anything that stops you taking your hands off the wheel is a good thing.

Don’t let stationary users perform status updates for police cars.
Make it so that you need to be moving in order to click that a cop car is no longer there.
Don’t let stationary users perform status updates regarding the fact that a police car is in a spot or not. Once you do this, cops will stop watching Waze to undo what drivers are reporting so that they do t get noticed.
Please.
We will trust the app 1000% more!!! Word will spread.

Add Fuel Capacity to plan a fuel stop on highway trip
Hi ! Is it possible to add a fuel capacity and average efficiency to the vehicule specifications part in order to « automatically » plan a stop on a highway tolled trip.
It’s maybe a french exception but we enter a tolled highway by a entry point and pay when we leave the highway ; so a fuel stop outside the highway is difficult.
Thanks in advance :-)8 votes -
"Express" Hazard Reporting
Love Waze, but I don't like how many actual touches are required to report a hazard. The more time it takes to report a hazard, the more time your eyes are not watching the road. Also, the most common hazard I see is a car stopped on the shoulder. I'd like a two-touch way of reporting this. If the report menu could be customizable to include a "quick report" option for the most common hazard a driver encounters, this would be a solution.
20 votesYou can long tap or swipe up the Report button to bring up the most common reports – saves a click. Also, consider voice reporting!

Speed camera alert distance
It would be very useful to be able to increase the distance at which speed camera alerts are triggered. Currently they are way too short (too little notice) - speed cameras can now detect cars at a significant distance away, and multiple times I've had the alert triggered only after I could see the camera and it could see me (usually on a motorway bridge).

Remove annoying ads during navigation
Remove annoying ads during navigation. They appear while stopped, but sometimes they don't disappear when you start moving again. Very annoying and unsafe.
20 votesThank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.

Toll payments
Waze should inform user of how much the toll is on there planned route ahead of time so user can have the correct amount, with so many people using plastic, such as credit cards and debit cards. Which toll booths don't except I feel this would help people from getting charged for going through the toll with out paying or protect there safety and stop them from flagging down other motorist it ask for change.
17 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

Routes icon
I'm sorry to say, but after the latest update, Routes icon looks like three hygienic pads... I'm sure there are multiple graphic solutions to resolve this resemblance...

Layer at multi direction road
Due to modern road infrastructure, today interchange has multiple layer, in waze will show all layer as one, thus is easy to miss judge the correct lane.
