Add address numbers when arrived
Need to add address (number and street) when on final street instead of saying "you have arrived at your destination". Uber and Lyft drivers use waze and need to know address. We look at mail boxes as we drive down the street. Sometimes the x is not in the same location as the address but we can't see the address.
Thank you for your consideration.18 votes -

The option to lock the use of your keyboard during the trip for Safer driving; Insurance Discounts and Gas Station Points
The option to lock your keyboard will allow you to drive without distraction and benefit with multilateral partnerships. If Waze can partner with Insurance companies or Chain gas stations the Wazer who selects the "Drive Mode" would gain points to either of the above for safe driving or gas discounts (two examples). The benefit would be to surrounding drivers and the Wazer themselves as they are earning a reward. We live in a "Points" game world and as Waze already gives you points these would be much more attractive as they will be able to be redeemable.

Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help driver to avoid forbidden streets
Implement a setting for winter tires with studs and help the driver to avoid forbidden streets. In urban areas in the Nordic countries it is becoming more common that local politicians forbid driving cars with winter tires with studs on some streets with high pollution. When creating a route to a destination, Waze do not take into account that some of the streets may be restricted due to this. This is becoming a problem since the driver need to be a local to know where not to drive. Signs showing the restriction are always present but will…

Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped
If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!

Driving "Unplugged "
Put the phone down, observe current driving conditions, adjust accordingly. Don't worry about the location of law enforcement officers, try to drive the same speed as surrounding traffic. You'll burn less fuel, brake pads, and brain cells. Good luck out there and stay safe.

Mutual location
It will be perfect if we could plan a route, connect on the map with the other driver friends on the road.
Example: 2 buddyes, 2 cars, same destination. By being connected to each other on the map, we could see each others location.5 votes -
Sync favorites between web site and the mobile app
It would be usefull if you could search for a specific place in the web site, and the load it in your mobile phone or the device you use. In my case I travel around often and drive in other countries, it would help me save time, and plan better my trip.
I tried to look the way to do it but couldn't find it.

More advance notice on warnings while driving
For more time to respond while driving to safety warnings it would be great to allow them to come in a mile or so in advance. This would allow accurate time to respond and safely transition to another lane… It would be good also if this was available for police warnings as well.
Thanks!

Secure routes
People should feedback the security of route (too dark, too dangerous, too lonely in a 1-5 scale for example). this way, user can choose route by distance, ETA or security.
Some times I just drive through routes I didn't wanna to if I knew.

Waze to initiate pre-determined reply to texts when driving
I want waze to initiate a pre-determined text reply automatically when I am driving, note automatically, so it switches on and off according to when I am driving using Waze. I would set my reply to say: "I'm driving at the moment so please call me as I can't read your texts but can speak to you using bluetooth. This text has been sent to you by Waze navigation app."

Be able to add friends, send messages and report (accidents, police, etc.) from the computer version
My husband is a truck driver. The weather is bad and we are both on Waze. I can't follow him unless I'm on my lap top. I can see other Waze users around him. Somebody sent a message to him asking how the roads were if they were clear, etc. He obviously cannot type or send a message. It would be GREAT if I could click to add the user that asked him a question or just send a message to her answering her question. AND he just witness a wreck. Road conditions are bad so I want to…

Average speed camera in IRAN
Hello waze
Recently in IRAN roads, many average speed traps are installed.
As you kbow these cameras catch not only the momentum speed but also catch the average speed between 2 cameras and in the whole road.
As you know they use SPECS (SPEed Check Services) system that use number plate recognition to measure the time taken between two fixed points to monitor a driver's average speed.
We, your greatfull application users in IRAN,
ask for activating average speed alarm in map and also in editor erea so the editors can edit and adjust it.Keep drive safely
Thank…20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

Reverse driving directions
Where you have the To and From locations at the top of the screen with the arrow separating the two, you might give the ability for a user to tap on that arrow or an icon that would reverse those driving directions.
Where this would be helpful: in my case, I have two kids that play sports and often get rides with other parents to and from San Diego to orange county. This drive time fluctuates so much based on traffic that this would be helpful to know when I can expect my kids to get home. They don’t always…
