Add a feature/option to avoid railroad crossings
Today I got stuck waiting for a freight train twice. It would have saved me time to have an option on Waze to give me an alternate route and how many minutes the detour takes in order to avoid the railroad crossing. When I got stuck for the 2nd time I took a right turn to explore the area and found an underpass 2 blocks away, which saved me about 5 minutes. This gave me the idea.

Paddington Voice
Please make the Paddington Bear voice a permanent option. It is the only navigation voice that I don't want to argue with. It creates a calming experience and i’m upset to open Waze to a a notification that it’s leaving. I’ve got many friends and family using Waze so they too can enjoy the Paddington Bear voice.

EV range prediction
How about a feature that predicts EV range for a given route? It would need to account for vertical climb and descent. ID car to predict performance via manual input configuration, or better yet Android auto or mfg's car app.

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…

Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help driver to avoid forbidden streets
Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help the driver to avoid forbidden streets. In urban areas in the Nordic countries it is becoming more common that local politicians forbid driving cars with winter tires with studs on some streets with high pollution. When creating a route to a destination, Waze do not take into account that some of the streets may be restricted due to this. This is becoming a problem since the driver need to be a local to know where not to drive. Signs showing the restriction are always present but will be noticed too…

Option to have the "menu" and "report" buttons to be invisible so as not to have a burn in ghost image of the buttons on screen.
The screen is usually ON through out the duration of driving. The MENU and REPORT buttons have a high likelihood to be "burned in" screen, creating a "permanent" ghost image.
Having the option to replace it with invisible hotspots (frequent users will know where to touch anyway) will minimize this because of moving images.
AMOLED screens are fairly prone to "burn in"

Add option to display SpeedTraps on main screen without having to use menu.
Add in the settings an option to display "Speed Trap" info on main screen. This would display in either the title bar or on the main screen and would have an icon with two numbers: A red number that indicates the # of speedtraps on your route, and a Yellow number that indicates the # of speedtraps not on the route. This would be very useful because speedtraps move (police pull someone over and then sit in new spot), so it helps to have more advanced notice that police are in the area.
66 votesThank you for your suggestion. It was discussed internally and while it will not be taken forward at this time it will definitely be considered during future discussions.

Send accurate (W3W?) location to recovery company, police, fire
When you breakdown, arrive at and accident or have an accident yourself, you need to be able to report your location very very accurately.
Waze could have an emergency call/location feature to guide police, ambulance, fire etc to the exact location. The most accurate in what 3 Words which has mapped the entire globe with 3m x 3m squares.

App radio One Compatibility
Please update Waze to be compatible with Pioneer AppRadio One car stereos. This was one feature I really wanted and thought I'd be getting with my new car deck, I was disappointed to see it was only compatible with older versions.

As of version 4.51, Waze no longer supports WebLink and AppRadio.

Android Jelly Bean multi window support
There is a new feature in Jelly Bean, on higher resolutions I can split the screen between 2 apps, so it would be nice if Waze supported that too, so I could see Waze AND music player simultaneously.

F1 (Formula 1) Collaboration
Would love to see a collaboration with F1 (Formula 1). Since Google already sponsors the McLaren F1 team, it seems like an obvious match. McLaren livery on a F1 vehicle icon and Lando Norris providing voice navigation.
Ideally, all F1 teams would be represented. All teams liveries for vehicle icons and other drivers (or commentator David Croft) for voice navigation would be great!

Is there a feature that can be built into the Waze app that will alert you to an upcoming speed change

Automatically sleep Waze when disconnecting from CarPlay
Hi, can an option be added to automatically put Waze to sleep after unplugging it from CarPlay? I don't need Waze to remain active once I've reached my destination, and when I get back into my car I usually start it manually myself.
