Move the road name labels so they don't cover up the junction
Very often the road labels cover up the junction, it's very difficult to see which exit of a roundabout is needed because the label covers the whole centre area,

Level of guidance option
I would like a new low setting for "level of guidance" under sound settings. I wish I could set it to a two stage tone notifications. Such as one ding x amount of feet before the turn and then a double ding immediately before the turn.
I find that the verbal instructions can be more than necessary in more familiar areas.

Newark Airport - I78 - GS Pkwy
Hi. When driving west on I78, from exit 57 to get on the Garden State Pkwy northbound, Waze always instructs to take exit 55, and drive through Irvington. Besides having lights and it being inconvenient, it’s also considered a dangerous area. For the same time, or less, you can direct drivers to take exit 52. It also makes you stay on highways, and you also avoid the lights and dangerous area. Can you please fix this?? Otherwise, we don’t know when exit 52 is backed up, and when Waze is simply sending us the “wrong way”. When testing…

Waze to issue Alerts when using CarPlay split screen
According to Waze support, when using Carplay split-screen (where Waze splits screen with other app like music), Waze won't issue traffic Alerts by design!! That's true, I have confirmed it. As soon as Waze returns to "full screen", it resumes issuing traffic alerts (danger, weather, radar, etc).
Split-screen is a quite usefull feature of Car-Play as it simplifies greatly audio/music control on the road, without the issue of messing with several buttons.
Although in split-screen mode the screen area that Waze has to show information is reduced, there is no reason why Waze could not keep issuing the alerts by…6 votes -
Would like ability to add AREAS TO Avoid. Would be very useful when you want to avoid a huge backup that occurs on football night.
When traveling through Virginia the highways passed through multiple College areas when there is a football game the traffic can back up for miles on the freeway it would be nice to if we know there's going to be a football game we can highlight an area on the route and just click avoid

Make a "Map Editor" search mode on client
For area managers and other people who are into editting the map, make a search option that will help route them to a "map problem area" or to an area they marked for themselves from the map editor, and help them report to themselves what needs to be fixed. Then when they get back to their desktops, they can see what they recorded and make the appropriate fixes.

ETA always visible on the screen
Dear developer, please fix this issue! The ETA estimated time of arrival should be always visible on the screen. I leave in an area with bed roads and railways and constantly receive warnings in top of ETA. For me is very important to see when I suppose to arrive at work or somewhere else. This information in my particular area is on top of ETA because of multiple warnings. Please move the warnings somewhere else on the screen. Thank you for your support.

2-way road option when munching & mapping new roads
Most roads that I've ever driven on are 2-way roads, yet waze assumes that any new road recorded or cookie munched is on a 1-way road. I'd like a client option to default them to 2-way, since I know that there are areas where 1-way roads prevail. If I happen to munch a 1-way road while in 2-way mode, I can easily correct it in cartouche later, but I'd much rather correct 3-5% of the roads (or less) than 95-97%.

allow for users to pin a point for fake police
In my area there police have been placing unmanned police cars at the side of the road as if using radar. These get marked as police and people really slow down. Which is a good thing, but sometimes people slow down under the speed. Please allow for a way to mark these as police decoys or something.

Additions on map
Would be extremely helpful to add/change the following…
Stop signs
Traffic lights
Rest areas easily visible on map without having to search
Mile markers - even if only on major highways and turnpikes
Enlarge the speed limit on the map
I only use your app while driving and my passenger navigator uses Maps. We always use both during trips to make the perfect drive.
Thank you!1 vote -
Have waze alert the driver of area's where speeding fines are higher than normal such as highway safety cooridors.
Waze would be super helpful to alert you both by voice and on the screen when a driver is in a area with higher than normal speeding fines such as highway safety corridor which are permanent and dont change. Other related use would be road construction that is temorary but fines are posted higher until construction is complete.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Faster map when moving
One thing I hate with Waze compared to google maps and directions is when you are in an area with where you have to turn onto several short roads and then turn quickly the map does not update your position quick like google does and I end up missing my turns. Satellite view would help with this.. I no longer use waze for directions. Just for the notifications along the route I am on. Also the speed does not update correctly.

Allow decimal points in House Numbers
Alphabetic characters and slashes are now allowed in House Numbers, which is a huge step forward. Unfortunately, decimal points are still not allowed. This is a problem in Puerto Rico where rural addresses are often based on kilometer posts. A rural address in Puerto Rico might look like "km 17.1 Calle Marginal". Allowing decimal points would be very helpful. Other areas might benefit from other special characters being allowed.

Allow junction boxes to include RoundABout exits to prohibit illegal route suggestion possibility.
This is not about lane control, it is to attempt to prevent in Australia, left/next exits on some Roundabouts when a dedicated exit is missed.
The are RABs that you can not take the first exit on, you had to have taken an exit lane before the RAB.
It would be useful to be able to restrict these particular exit choices when required. A JB would be drawn to cover the area and be allowed to restrict that particular A-B.
Thanks.
