The traffic direction cant be seen
When someone post bad traffic on any street and the app navigate you via that street, you can barely see the direction of the traffic. So me as a driver have to lean and stare at a phone up close and thats very dangerous, you agree.. so my solution is, make the red/orange traffic line visible only on one side of the direction line. Depending on the direction of the traffic, if traffic is in opposite direction of ours the visible line will be on the left side/margin and vice versa. I hope I explained it accurate, its easier to…

Add north south west east direction when reporting from iPhone
Add preset when reporting anything to waze via iPhone to show which direction drivers will see the report. Accident. Police etc. This also should show in the text description of the report. Same lane or other can help and this may show on the map. But it's hard to tell exactly what lane it's in. Ie, car stopped on shoulder may look on map like it's northbound lane when it's really south. Add direction of travel preset similar to same lane button.

Need an option to reverse the direction of travel shown at the beginning, until the GPS catches up with me
Need an option to reverse the direction of travel shown at the beginning of the journey, until the GPS catches up with me. I have a journey I do frequently, where I have to make a decision right at the start which way to travel, but waze always seems to think I'm travelling along the road in the opposite direction to where I'm really travelling. And it doesn't help that I have a traffic light right at the start so I'm stationery.

Show direction that other wazers are travelling on the navigation map
When viewing the navigation map, what if you showed a little arrow indicating the direction that the other wazers on the map are traveling? I can't tell if the wazer ahead of me is traveling the same direction as me and I am just catching up to them or they are on the other side of the road driving towards me. You could put a little black direction arrow in their icon.

Direction list doesn't update
When driving to a location but viewing the list view of directions, there is frequently a lag between when completing a turn and when the next direction jumps up in the list. Restarting doesn't help. Clearing data and cache doesn't help. I've tried this on two phones and found both delay, sometimes by 2 turns.

The square image is showing opposite clockwise. In Israel it is the wrong direction. It should be sensitive for each country direction.

Upcoming Direction Sound only alert
I don't love the spoken directions and alerts. I really just need something to tell me "check the screen". Rather than a full read out, or even a simplified readout of the directions, could there not just be a "ding" that lets me know an upcoming direction so I know to look at the screen.
I keep the speaking directions off because I find them annoying. But I frequently miss turns, off-ramps, etc when Waze wants me to take a different route than I normally do on a frequent drive because of traffic or hazards, etc.

advance direction when exiting a highway
When exiting the highway it would be SO helpful to announce the next direction much much earlier. For example, in ½ a mile, exit roselle road and stay to the right or stay to the left to exit. We have three plus lane exits and waze is telling me too late which lane to be in after exiting. Thanks!

Use phone orientation to determine initial driving direction
Problem:
When starting navigation from a stationary position, Waze often assumes my car is facing the direction of the road segment, not my actual heading.
This leads to wrong initial instructions — for example, being told to “turn right” when in reality I need to make a U-turn first because I’m facing the opposite direction.Proposed Solution:
Use the phone’s built-in compass and orientation sensors to estimate the initial heading of the vehicle when navigation begins.
In most real-world cases, the phone is positioned facing the same direction as the car (mounted on the dashboard or windshield).

Display/speak every next crossroad direction
Display/speak every next crossroad direction, even if it means showing forward. Now app could show turn after few km, while there are 20 crossroads between and road having curved path.
There should be an option to display EVERY next crossroad direction.1 vote -
Arrow that shows direction phone is pointed for first few seconds of navigation.
I often don’t know which way to turn when I put in an adress. Before putting in an address the arrow points whatever way your phone is, which is helpful. Once starting navigation, the arrow changes to a random direction. I wish there was a way to keep the “live” arrow on based on my the direction my phone is pointed for the first few seconds

On commute mute turn by turn direction BUT announce incidents (accidents, caps, speed camera. Etc.)
If you drive the same route every day (as many people do ) you will not need to hear the turn by turn direction but do need advance warning of incidents ie: cop ahead, slow down in traffic, speed camera ahead etc. right now the only option is all or nothing in the (Setting-sound- navigate guidance) menu. it would also limit the number of times Waze interrupts on ongoing phone call. Thus making app even. MORE DESIRABLE!

Police Alert for Drivers Going Opposite Direction
When reporting a police presence in Waze there is an option for "Other Side". It would be a nice addition to provide an audible alert for drivers going that opposite direction, instead of merely showing it on the map. I sometime see a police car sitting high up on an entrance ramp checking speeds of traffic going the opposite direction that is mostly hidden to them. I would like to warn drivers going that way of its presence.

Bring back direction only voices
Bring back more English (US) direction only options like Randy and Nathan were. Currently Amy is the only option I see without street names, or the other extraneous comments the themed voices all seem to have.

Please indicate the direction you are going on the Waze app.
Please indicate which direction you are headed. This will be helpful to those who do not have a sense of direction. Example: north, northeast, northwest, west, east, south, southwest, southeast.
