Simplify ability to mark roads as closed
There is a road closure near me which is not currently shown on Waze and Waze therefore keeps trying to route through this closure. I know it is there so why am I not able to simply mark a road as closed anywhere (ie not just when I am on a route)? Otherwise people will keep being routed towards a closure and the last thing they are thinking of when they are having to turn around and go a different way is to inform Waze about the closure. Seems such a simple fix and if you are worried about it being abused by people who would inform of closed roads as a joke, it could be verified by two or more users so that you know it is genuine.

auto reroute
Hi Ella and colleagues, I have a waze suggestion. Please ask the Waze engineer to please add an option in the Settings of the App for the end-user: please let me explain first. Waze no longer is asking for re-routing permission - Waze now just dynamically (automatically) re-routes now in the middle of navigating. And I understand why, this is because to minimize distraction. Please ask the Waze developer-engineer to please add an option inside the SETTINGS of the APP to allow the end-user to either: ALLOW automatic (dynamic) re-routing or ALERT user prior to dynamic (automatic) re-routing or to NEVER re-route the end-user during active nav. Many end-users feel they do not want to be auto-rerouted, and on the other hand many end-users do want to be dynamically (auto) rerouted during active nav, and some other end-users want to be ASKED (or alerted first)when a better route is found BEFORE dynamically being re-routed. PLEASE, forward this message to the waze engineer to add a SETTING for this in the SETTINGS of the APP and you will make all 3 types of end-users HAPPY just with this SETTING for RE-ROUTING: ALLOW AUTO REROUTE, ALERT FIRST, or NONE.Please forward this message to the engineer to add this SETTING in the Settings of the App. I am VERY grateful to you, Roman.

satellite roads
I do understand the possible changes behind the scenes of the app but i honestly believe satellite roads is safer and more efficient for drivers as it provides a clearer view of the roads being driven on and not confusing drivers as it is confusing with cartoonish roads that nearly blend in together making it hard to understand which roads to take especially on highways. I have personally experienced not only myself but also seen other users of Waze experience missing exits and nearly and actually getting on to wrong exits because of the confusing “cartoonish” Waze maps. These situations interrupt individuals personal time, as people have many things scheduled, like work, appointments, and business to handle. It also increases risks of people risk taking and injuring and causing of accidents.

Good afternoon, I wanted to suggest streamlining the Waze system. In light of recent truck crashes on bridges, I would enter a figure for the maximum height of all bridges, so that before each trip, the truck driver would have to measure the maximum height and enter the figure into the Waze system, and the system would automatically navigate the driver to the road with the bridge at the appropriate height. This would save on accidents and, God forbid, loss of life.

Don't show "Continue Straight" until shortly before it's needed
Showing a continue straight as next turn hundreds of km before it's reached is annoying. I'd like to know what my actual next turn is. While it can be useful in many situations it's not needed until shortly before you reach it.
I suggest only display in app when the first prompt for it is announced.
Example:
In the example, I'm already on I-95 N. I don't need to know that in 76 miles I need to continue on I-95 (it actually started displaying about 200 miles before)

Lower Waze's Age Rating on Apple App Store
Hello Waze Support Team,
I'm writing to suggest that you consider lowering Waze's age rating on the Apple App Store. Currently, Waze is rated 17+, while Google Maps is rated 4+.
Many young drivers and passengers could benefit from using Waze's features, such as real-time traffic updates and hazard alerts. A lower age rating would make the app more accessible to this demographic.
Could you please provide some insight into why the app has a 17+ rating and if there are any plans to re-evaluate it?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,

Road restrictions
Entering this idea as the previous "Road width restrictions" idea is closed for votes as implemented, even though it is not. Probably why its been omitted for several years.
Have waze allow map editors to include road restrictions, including width, height, weight, vehicle type, time based and temporary.
Allow users to include vehicle specifics in their route options.
The existing implementation uses the vehicle registration, but that only works in some countries and not the UK which has a lot of such restrictions.
Other routing apps have these features.

Create a Partner Data Feed for GIS-based Street Sign Inventory
Many municipalities are importing/moving their street sign inventory into their GIS system. Since many Waze map attributes are based on visible street signs (speed limits, one-way streets, turn restrictions, school zones, street names, etc.), it makes sense to allow municipalities to upload their sign locations and have some koi-fish-style validation of those signs against the existing Waze attributes.
For the initial upload, where signs differ from the Waze attribute, Map Issues or Map Suggestions could be created to have WME editors verify the differences and make any necessary corrections.
On an ongoing basis, as new signs are posted and the GIS system is updated, a Map Issue or Map Suggestion would be generated for WME editors to solve.
