navigation update
This application needs a closer accurate navigation were you are driving and show more patterns in the lane instead of the purple line covering the whole track when traveling. Last one I want to suggest is make a new option of someone wants to avoid highways and drive only on normal roads.

Make it Easy to Report False Reports
Please make it easy for us to flag false reports, we are seeing dozens of "Major Crashes" each day in Nebraska, mainly Omaha, that are totally False.
An "crash" tonight on I-80 WB between exit 449 and 448 was a simple disabled vehicle with a flat left tire, OPD was blocking a lane so the driver could safely make the tire change. Fix this. Your app's credibility sucks.

A way for Waze to distinguish between travel in express lanes or regular lanes on I-90 (Kennedy Expressway) and similar Chicago area roads.
I would like to see a way for Waze to distinguish between travel in express lanes or regular lanes on I-90 (Kennedy Expressway) and similar Chicago area roads. These are not HOV or toll lanes. Waze will often route me to the express lanes, but the line to enter the lanes negates any benefit, so I bypass and take the regular lanes. Waze, however, thinks I'm in the express lanes, causing navigation errors and headaches. Otherwise, I'm very happy with Waze. Thanks.

Entrance to GWB from Riverside Dr South in NYC, dangerous directions.
This entrance puts you in the left lanes of 6 lanes of ferocious traffic. Waze always recommends the Lower Level, which is the rightmost 2 lanes, and would require crossing several lanes of traffic in a very short distance - very dangerous. Waze should recommend the Upper Level which is directly ahead and requires no lane change. People not familiar with the area may attempt to follow the Lower Level directions which would lead to hazardous driving.

Would be handy to add hazards and notes on an area you've seen that day not current location
For instance driving from A47 to Brundall in Norfolk, along Postwick Lane there is a tree 1ft into the road. I knocked my wingmirror off there and so have others as people have passed oncoming vehicles. I saw many glass wingmirrors.
I've accidentally put this onto Theobald road Norwich.. could this be moved please to opposite Brundall Marina. I'd like to be able to warn others of this without having to be sat there in my car. Can you add hazards to alternative locations please that would be useful.

Voice Equalities Across Genders and Countries
Right now, different voices and languages have different hidden features - like calling out segment length, different distances, street names, lane separation and so on. There's no reason for this discrimination. You should have all of the features available on all of the voices and have them toggle able.
So, for example, all male voices should have the option to speak Street Names. Also, ALL voices should count more Distances. It's ridiculous that a turn within 100m will be called out as 400m ahead, it's confusing and could cause a ruckus on the road.

make alerts omnidirectional
Alert users to incidents on both sides of the road when there is no divider on the road. On two lane highways voice alerts for police and accidents are directional. Meaning it only alerts you to reports that were made in the direction you are traveling. It should alert you to all reports on the road regardless of which direction you’re heading. Helpful for police and accidents when they could affect both lanes.

PLEASE add ability to mark lanes!
Please add ability to mark which lanes are affected by reports especially crashes, stopped vehicles, debris/hazards and closures! Being able to quickly and easily navigate away from a problem would be a HUGE benefit over all other navigation apps!😊

Incomplete heads up display info On Lincoln Nautilus 2024
Thanks for the new update 5.4 which allows Waze to be displayed on the built in heads up /instrument cluster.
However the direction box in the top right corner only gives the distance and not the street names or correct lane for the next turning. Because of this will need to look at the main infotainment thus rendering the heads up/ built in display information incomplete and confusing. Please add the complete information on the heads up display so that it is usable.2 votes -
Ensure that re-routing doesn't add time to trip
I have had multiple times where I have chosen to take an alternate, parallel road rather than the one Waze wants me to go (such as I-295 in NJ versus NJ Turnpike, or I-95 Express Lane vs. I-95 in Maryland). In these instances, rather than direct me to the next interchange to continue on the planned route from an upcoming access point, it wanted me to double back and reverse course to the original access point, which would've added 20 minutes to my trip, when just continuing on the alternate route would have only changed ETA by 0-1 minute.

Add a wireless OBD2 sensor for additional vehicle safety information
Suggest adding a wireless Bluetooth OBD2 device (BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+) so Waze can access safety features from your vehicle such as:
1. Blind spot warning
2. Accidental lane departure
3. Show when turn signals are on - for those that forget - optional beep after 5 seconds and before my wife says “YOUR BLINKERS ON!!!”
4. Etc.Option - For lane departure and blind spot warning above - when the two are triggered the Waze display or the hud display below could kick in the appropriate mirror camera video (if the vehicle has mirror cameras) so you see the…

crash alerts
I have an idea for crash alerts to be able to help wazers with navigating traffic of a crash. You could implement 3 kind of crash alerts, exactly like the blocked lane alerting system, where you report if it's on the right, left or in the center of the road. thank you for listening to my idea.

Conditional use of toll roads if saves more than set percentage of time
I live in Northern Virginia (US) where we have a growing network of high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes paralleling existing roads. These come up as separate roads in Waze as they have their own on ramps and off ramps. Just to make them more fun, they have variable tolling so when traffic is more congested on the "free" lanes the toll lanes cost goes higher. The speed limit is also higher on the toll lanes so they always come out as preferred over the regular lanes for navigation.
The current Waze app allows selection to…

How do I stop Waze from suggesting a route everyday that I Do Not want to take.
Waze tells me to take this back road everyone I leave my house and I want it to stop!
How can I change this?
It may be 'techinically' the fastest route, but what it doesn't know is that it is a very scary, windy, hilly, one lane back road that people barrel down and I don't ever want to take it.
I thought Waze was smart and would recognize my 'usual' routes, but it has not figured out that I don't like this road.
Ever.

“Back” button in Reports
I noticed that when you want to report something (hazard, blocked lane, police, etc…) sometimes I may press the wrong category for what I want to report, but there’s no “Back” button, only “Cancel”. But there’s problem with cancelling, that is you lose the exact location you passed and if you report again it may be misaligned.
There should be an option for a back button to search for other categories in case you misclicked in a category that is not the one you wanted to report initially. This way, the system still holds your “original” location when you…

iPhone Vs Android. Detailed Directions on iPhone, missing on Andoid.
When plugged in via USB an iPhone shows the map on car display and detailed instructions on the iPhone display. Android phone shows map on car display but a blue screen on the phone display, why? Show directions on Android instead of a stupid blue screen! This app is superior on iPhone for that reason. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Blows my mind this feature is not in Android. I want to know 4-5 streets in advanced where I'm going and the turns I need to make so I can get into the proper lane ahead of time.

Replace pop ups with static pane
The pop-up banners showing the next turn make it almost impossible to use any other CarPlay controls such as Music etc. as the Waze banners take the focus. This means that I am unable to change my music while stopped at lights. Popups should still be used for alerts or high-priority info but next turn / lane info should be on a static pane.

Separate lanes in the middle
You should separate the road lanes in the middle to be easy for the users to see which side of the road has traffic
