One Touch for vehicle stopped on shoulder
For me 9 out of 10 hazard reports are a vehicle stopped on the shoulder. It takes 3 taps. I suggest to create a new button on the main screen that does the report in one tap only - like a macro. It will be safer and easie

Message alerts settings
In the new version of Waze, when the phone is landscape, when a warning is shown (radar, stopped vehicle ...) it's appear on the top of the screen, avoiding the visualization of what is to come in the path. The suggestion is to allow set where to place these alerts. If the phone is in an horizontal position, would be more useful than alerts go out to the right or left of the screen covering part of the side and not the way to go.

Doesn’t direct you to the house number, only to start of street
Had the same problem again today drove to an address which the same street was on both sides of a cross road, Waze told me to turn left when I should have turned right as it was a high house number, pain in the backside as it has happened on multiple occassions, I am going back to google maps until this is introduced it really is such a simple thing but so important

Automatic Paving
Why doesn't paving come on automatically when driving along an unmapped route? This would make it safer than having to stop then follow all the steps to start paving etc

In the upcoming turns bar, add the ETA to each point in addition to the current distance
In the upcoming turns bar, add the ETA to each point in addition to the current distance. This can help me plan my stops along the way. For example, if I know it will be an hour until my next turn, then I can plan a nearby stop.

Fix the "no navigation icon on launch" bug
I have noticed that about 40% of the time I launch Waze, the map opens by there is no locator shown. That is, the arrow representing my position is absent. Then I have to quit and re-launch Waze anywhere from 1-3 times to make it appear. I can navigate without it because the route will still be shown on the map and I can infer my position since I'm kept at the centre - but the icon is gone. As stated earlier, relaunching normally fixes this but sometimes I need to relaunch multiple times in a row. Very annoying.

A version made for stick-shift drivers--so as not to take you on routes with too many stops.
Just like the title says.

Assistance information for vehicles on shoulder
It would be nice to know what a vehicle stopped on the shoulder might need if they need assistance. It's dangerous to try and back up down the shoulder after passing a stopped vehicle and noticing that they are struggling to change a tire or need some water or gas.
It would be great if a stopped vehicle could post "need help changing tire" or "out of gas". To get that information ahead of time would allow the ability to make a decision about whether to stop or not and to be able to do so safely.8 votes -
Speed synchronization with traffic light changes to save fuel and pollution.
To the Wiz development team,
My name is Benya, and I am a traffic expert with extensive experience in planning and optimizing urban transportation systems. I am contacting you with an innovative proposal that can add significant value to the Wiz application and contribute to improving the quality of the environment.
The idea: an ecological 'green wave' feature
I suggest adding a feature to Wiz that will recommend to drivers the optimal speed to travel to reach the traffic lights when they are green. This feature will combine Wiz's existing information about traffic conditions with traffic light timing data.
Ecological…

Stop stealing voice command/recognition
I have no problem using the Galaxy S6 voice command to send texts while driving.
However, once I invoke the voice command in Waze (by 3-finger salute) I can no longer use the regular Android voice command.
It seems Waze steals and won't release the voice function until I shutdown Waze.

Stop the "how can I help, one more time" feature. PLEASE! Talk to me only when spoken to.
Every time I get out of the car if I forget to turn the app off and put my phone in the pocket pick up a bunch of heavy objects from my car and walk into a store this thing in my pocket continues to ask me "how can I help, one more time." it's driving me out of my mind and I will delete this app unless it stops talking to me on its own.

Routes via specific road
Plan or change a route to use a specific road ie. a specific interstate road, state road, local road, so the route will go specifically how you want to drive it. Many times the suggested routes are not the best. One knows this after having driven a certain route multiple times. Waze does not know this.

Reports should be easily tappable on and there are multiple user interface issues Which creates barriers for people trying to do the right
Well,… Besides the above subject it is been so hard and probably has taken over three hours just to comment or try to communicate to a Waze map editor – but all the forms either disappear or don’t tell you how long you can type for and then tell you can type, etc.… I can be contacted for the details but people should at least be able to leave a voice recording of not insignificant length as any barriers for people to help are going to prevent people from trying and possibly create dangerous intersections like the one that is…

Predictive Traffic Light Data
I have an idea that will revolutionize navigation in cities and significantly benefit Waze users - predictive traffic light data.
By leveraging real-time GPS data from our massive user base, our app can start predicting traffic light patterns at intersections. Using algorithms to analyze when cars stop and start at lights, we can gradually build models mapping out sequences and wait times for traffic signals across entire cities.
This would enable sending users notifications in advance whether they are likely to hit the next green or red light. They can adjust speed accordingly, eliminating unnecessary braking and idling. The benefits…

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

During long distance travel "Add a Stop" feature spreads options (eg cafe) too widely apart without asking for more input as to which side of travel this Added Stop would be searched for.
I have done long routes in the past and half of the Stops that it finds are near my end point far in the distance and unnecessary for what I'm looking for at the time.
So an additional question "Close, or futher down" OR "Within the next _miles or _ minutes " would get better results for folks looking for a good stop either now or…

Delete the Stop point and continue navigating to final destination
Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the intermediate point on the route after adding it.
This feature is very much needed.
