When you pop up a warning for a speed camera, don't cover the speed limit on screen
When the speed camera warning comes up, it stays there until you pass the speed camera. This is great, however the pop up banner also covers the speed limit, so you don't know how fast you should be going!
Be great if you can change the banner to show the limit or move the speed limit so it's not covered by the banner4 votes -

Please add Waze to the Apple Watch. So I can use Waze instead of having to use other app for navigation.

Demon slayer Tanjiro (Zach Aguilar) and inosuke ( Bryce Papenbrook) voice.
Just got into watching demon slayer, and thought how cool would it be to get navigation directions from either inosuke ( lots of energy and pep) or tanjiro ( calm and reassuring).
I believe the demon slayer movie is being released later this year and I think this would make a nice promotional tie in.
Thanks

Speed bumps alert option
I suggest to adding the "speed bump" alert inform option, too. Today we can't inform it. There's just the voice alert, but not the option to inform one.

Speed Limit Correction | Help Improve Waze – Allow Speed Limit Feedback Again
I believe it would be very helpful to bring back the feature that allowed users to suggest corrections to the speed limit shown in the app. This function used to be available, and I would often use it to report inaccurate speed limits on certain roads. However, it was removed a few years ago, and there is currently no easy way to suggest corrections directly through the app.
Restoring this feature would greatly improve the accuracy of navigation and benefit all users by keeping speed limit data up to date. Please consider reintroducing this option within the app.
Thank you!

Collaborative Routing
Waze works like the most other Navigation Apps. You can choose between 1 and 3 different fixed routes, that sometimes slightly change when there is a lot of traffic ahead. The problem is, that Waze works like a broadcast as far as I know.
So when Route 1 have heavy traffic, all other users get Route 2 to avoid traffic. The problem here is, that new heavy traffic will be created to avoid the first.
All cars following the same alternative route.
Instead of rely on fixed routes, each user should get a personal routing suggestion l, each Route little different.
Combined with a reroute request every 30s to check the current traffic we could avoid a lot of traffic that is already there and more importantly, stop to create new jams.
For people that drive in a convoy, there should be a option to sync the routes, so they have the same.
What you guys think?

To be able to change font size in the interface of the map
Recent updates have make the fint of the waze interface in android auto way to small, specially in the map, I cannot see very week the names of the road, to me it's very important, and specially because I use glasses to drive, but even with my glasses on, I cannot see very well, I would love to have an option to be able to change the size of the font to see better the names of the road, specially in android auto.

Add Support for Mopeds, Bicycles & Moped Speed Checks (Known as Rollerbanks)
I suggest adding support for mopeds and bicycles as selectable vehicle types in Waze, allowing users to receive more accurate routes tailored to bike lanes and moped-accessible roads. Additionally, introducing a report option for roadside speed checks specific to mopeds (commonly known as "rollerbanks" in some regions) would greatly benefit two-wheeler users by improving route awareness and promoting fair, transparent traffic monitoring.

Waze for Trucking
We should have the option to input our clearance height and weight restriction to avoid routes that we can’t navigate. When the gps sends us down a wrong street with bridges with weight restrictions or towards an overpass with low clearance, it’s hard to find a turnaround point. Restricted points can be easily sourced through driver submissions to verify information in that area. There’s been plenty of times that I finish my route and the trucking app we used will automatically kick me out to where I can’t navigate using a predetermined GPS, so I opt to use Waze, but it’ll try to send me down car routes when I need 14ft of clearance and can’t go down routes with a limit of 2,5t. Adding these options would expand Waze to allow truckers to also use it for their routes

Roundabout
A few updates back, when editing roundabouts instructions, the forced TTS available for edition when changing to Turn Left or Turn Right changed from "on the roundabout turn left" & "on the roundabout turn right" to "in 50 meters turn left" & "in 50 meters turn right", leaving left off the information "on the roundabout".
Could you consider improving that information for TTS "lovers" or "needers" and add again "on the roundabout" TTS to the string?
Thank you

Show freeway routes and backroads at the same time
It would be great if I could compare freeway routes and backroad routes at the same time without having to "avoid freeway" so I get navigation for the backroads. When the freeway is backed up, every alternate route still takes me back onto the freeway.
Also, show me roads that will reroute me off of the freeway to get around accidents and then get me back on.4 votes -
Scooby Doo Mystery Machine
I'm confident that the Mystery Machine van from the Scooby Doo cartoons would be a very popular car icon, not only with Boomers and Gen X'ers but with every generation!
You could also create a fun Scooby Doo Theme as an available option.4 votes -
Add more stops
Add more stop points as many people have long routes like 1500km and want to stop at many towns.
With Google maps you can plan long trips with many stops.
It makes it difficult to add places the entire time while driving.

Manually set Speeds for different vehicle setups
I use Waze to drive a jeep, jeep & trailer, bus and trucks.
Legally towing, bus & truck must travel at lower speeds in the cars and jeeps.
It would be really helpful if we could:
1) create different vehicle profiles for the same driver and switch between them.
2) Have the option to be able to manually input the max speeds for vehicle profile eg National roads in Ireland are 80km for bus, truck and towing and 100km for bus and 90km for truck and towing on motorways. This would be more for calculating journey times than speed warnings as most trucks and buses would have speed limiters but the journey time can be very misleading.
3) Set an average speed estimate as a base. Example if I'm towing horses and the route is not a big straight road, while the legal speed limit might be 80km, I know I'm going to be not getting anywhere near that so an option for estimate average time could be really useful to calculate journey times. Or yesterday, I drove a tour group to Connemara and while I knew the road, I hadn't driven it with a bus and the journey time was 20-25min longer than predicted. Knowing more accurate journey times would be fantastic to plan proper breaks for the the tacho.
4) may not be feasible but parking for bus / coaches / trucks / trailers would be super helpful as well.
These should be relatively easy to implement. Of course details like sharp turns, low bridges etc and unsuitable routes would be really helpful also but more difficult to implement and I still wouldn't drive a route I didn't know from an app, I'd ask another driver. However planning journey times would be really helpful to have better estimates.
Thanks 🙏🏻
