Bulgarian TTS voice
Waze offers TTS voices in many languages that can pronounce both street names and important alerts. This is extremely useful because alerts like average speed checks, speed bumps, and other warnings are spoken aloud rather than played as brief beeps that can be easy to overlook.
Unfortunately, there is no TTS voice available for Bulgarian. I use the UK voice 'Kate' as a workaround, but it cannot correctly pronounce Bulgarian street names written in Cyrillic. This limits both usability and safety for Bulgarian-speaking drivers.
Please add a Bulgarian TTS voice to ensure proper pronunciation of street names and audible alerts for users in Bulgaria.

Add Pause Button to Route Guidance
I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.
I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.
I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.
I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the continual rerouting is too annoying.
Please, please, please add a Pause button to your app.

ICE
With everything thats going on and how hard this is on all families. Illegal or not i suggest adding something that says ICE reported for immigration custom enforcement like you have one that says police reported ahead. This would help many families be aware.

Please add multiple primary destinations. Many people have more than one Home or Work destinations, or drive regularly to School or Daycare. Maybe make the list open ended and add special icons for these other choices.

Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted line across both map views.

Véhicule utilitaire
Bonjour Waze,
Utilisateur depuis vos débuts en France, je vous félicite — j’utilise Waze tous les jours dans mon activité d’artisan. Suggestion : ajoutez un profil « utilitaire » (hauteur, longueur, poids) et la possibilité de basculer entre plusieurs véhicules. Aujourd’hui, Waze ne distingue que Privé / Taxi / Moto et ne prend pas en compte les restrictions de gabarit. Il y a peu, je me suis retrouvé face à un tunnel limité à 2 m alors que mon véhicule fait 2,40 m : obligé de faire demi-tour, ce qui a considérablement rallongé mon trajet. Cette amélioration rendrait Waze encore plus performant pour les pros. Merci !Bonjour Waze,

Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

Shadow the Hedgehog
Please, please PLEASE give us a Shadow voice. The Sonic one is amazing and having the ability to switch over to his rival for a completely opposite vibe from Sonic would be hilarious and amazing all at once! I’d love to hear him get mad or annoyed with making U Turns and stuff. Make it happen!

Take away the chime that alerts you that you’re currently in a traffic jam.
This alert is Pointless. It doesn’t warn you that you are approaching a traffic jam - No, it only alerts you that you are Currently Sitting in a traffic jam. I have tried every option possible to turn this alert off, or change its chime tone, it’s not possible to opt out or change it to silent. It’s beyond stupid. I Hate It!

Stop auto re-routing to save nominal time.
Perhaps the greatest problem with Waze is when the inconvenience of taking a nonstandard route is not proportional to the time savings the new route provides. All too often I’m taken on an insane route in comparison to the normal one just to save two minutes.
I would like to prevent Waze from automatically rerouting (or suggesting an alternative “best route”) unless the new route saves 10 minutes of the total “mainstream” route time.
Perhaps people could choose different thresholds for reroutes.
I hate it when all of a sudden I’m rerouted in traffic on the highway to take the next exit in half a mile and I struggle to get over in bumper-to-bumper traffic just to find out I’m getting off the highway and back on the highway to save 60 seconds.

switch car types in iOS
Hi, I’m using Waze both with my private car and with my motorcycle.
In Israel, the vehicle type actually affects the routing itself (motorcycles can legally use different lanes and routes), so switching quickly is very important.
Right now, every time I want to switch the vehicle type, I need to go deep into the Settings → Navigation menu, and it takes multiple taps.Is it possible to add a faster way to switch vehicle type?
For example:
• a quick toggle button on the main screen
• a Siri Shortcut / Shortcuts action
• or a URL scheme parameter that directly sets the vehicle type (car / motorcycle)This would save a lot of time for users who regularly switch between different vehicles.
Thank you

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.

Better head-up-display directions at roundabout
The head-up-display shows directions through waze in my VW ID.7. At roundabouts it shows an arrow, instead of (part of) a roundabout with which exit to take.

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.
