Wrong way driver alert
Wrong way driver alert. Alert wazers if they enter a freeway on ramp going in the wrong direction also alert other wazers with a loud audible alarm (much like the Amber alert alarm) that there is a wrong way driver approaching.
38 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Distance by blocks or exits
Instead of by feet, notify turn distance by number of blocks or exits. This makes more sense to a human driver.

Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts
Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.
When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.
Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to…

Logging Options on Waze (distance, driving time, gas costs)
It would be great that Waze could log some data about your trip.
So you could include a kind of dashboard that could display your speed, average speed, distance driven, a kind of trip distance resetable by user, as well a fuel logging calculator.
The fuel logging calculator should enable you to register the price spent and the ammount of fuel you've filled. This would be great for drivers to make some stats in order to reduce costs.26 votes -

Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

Ghost driver alert
A new alert would be interesting to have to alert drivers on a specific route that a ghost driver is coming their way and that they should be cautious, maybe telling them to stay in a lane and to reduce their speed.

HUD Distance Rounding
For cars with HUD/secondary display on cluster, the distance to next turn is always rounded. (15.8 miles show up as 16 miles, 12.4 miles show up as 12 miles)
This make sense when the distance is further away (over 10 miles), but when we are closer (< 10 miles), the rounding could be confusing. For example, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 mile all shows up as 1 mile, and 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1 mile show up as 0 mile (until unit switch to feet).
The rounding should be disabled (or switch to round to tenth…2 votes -
Toll roads alert
A great feature would be the possibility to keep toll roads enabled but receive an alert when a route includes that kind of road (toll road)

More options for changing distance units
Having the map directions/ETA distance units option as well as the speed limit option. For example, the map directions/ETA in kms and then showing the speed limit in miles.
This would be useful for someone driving out of country to be aware of the speed limit while maintaining their preferred units for the directions.
I am a Canadian living in the US therefore am driving in miles/speed limit is in miles but I have a better sense of distance in kms.7 votes -
Removable alert icon
The orange alert icon, the one you use to send an alert to everyone else, burns your screen after time, I regularly travel long distance and has burned a nice little mark on my phone screen, both sides as I switch my phone upside down and it's horrible. If it could disappear and appear with a touch, would be lovely.

Speed camera audible alert issue
I'm not sure if this is the same for all or just an issue with my install but it would be good to have an audible alert for every speed camera that I pass on a journey because at present the only audible alert I get is for the first camera I pass, there after, all additional cameras only show up as a visual alert.

Accident alert
If something happened to a driver and it was an accident, Waze should detect the drastic "Stop" of the driver and after that if in th next 5-10 second no movements are done, should pop up a message asking the driver if he was in an accident, if the driver doesn't answer in 20-25 second, the "Alert" should appear on the map alerting the near user of Waze. What do you think?
235 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Vehicle on Shoulder Alert
It would be great if there was a way to silence or remove the Vehicle on Shoulder alert. I find it annoying and not needed during navigation

Alert
Before, I used to be able to go back to the alert type screen if I had chosen the wrong alert type. Now, if I make a mistake, the ability to place the alert is lost. Please bring back the ability to choose a different alert type without losing the alert.

Distance to next maneuver sent to car's Android Auto capable head unit
While running inside Android Auto, it would be nice if Waze would send the distance to the next maneuver to the car's head unit.
For example, while Google Maps runs in AA, on the car's instrument cluster and heads up display the next maneuver can be seen, including the distance to it. When Waze runs in AA, only the next maneuver can be seen, without the distance to it.5 votes -
Early Alert for Standstill Traffic Following Accidents on Motorways
Possibility to treat standstill traffic as an alert when there is an accident ahead. When an accident occurs on a motorway and traffic queues start to form, the key is to receive an alert about the standstill traffic. Ideally, this should happen at a greater distance than usual.
