Allow assigning a dropped pin as Home or Work addresses!
My Home Garage is accesses through a long lane way / alley. My work parking beneath the building is accessed from a small side street. The result is that driving directions approach both locations from the wrong direction. I waste time in both directions & navigation needs to be manually ended.
Please allow me to assign a dropped pin as my addresses. Thanks!
1 voteFeel free to set your work address from current location. Here’s how:
1. Travel to needed location (e.g. your work parking)
2. In app open menu on the left, click on your profile name and select “Home and Work” menu
3. Select “Set work address” (if no work address added) or tap the edit button on existing work address.
4. Select “Current location”. -
Include a naming system for roads with multiple lanes such as apple , blueberry or carrot etc .
A naming system for lanes could help with direction and lane maintenance .

"Where To?" should disappear a minute or two after a drive starts
"Where To?" every. single. time. I start my car is insane. I don't need to plot my every move. I run to the store or go to work/home way more then I need directions. Waze is my default for traffic alerts and contributing to them when running around town. If no "Where To?" is chosen a couple of minutes after the drive starts, make it close automatically.

Routine Commute Advance Monitoring and Warning
I have a couple of routine, weekday commutes, to and from work. I think it would be beneficial if I could plug in my routine, target arrival times and monitor my commute in advance of my departure. For example, if I need to arrive at home by 6 to pick up kids for a typical 35 minute commute it would start monitoring my commute 1.5 hours or so ahead. If there is a significant delay it would notify me in advance of my typical departure to pay attention early to the commute. I think this would be beneficial in cases…

The pop-up screen after redirected from Uber
When you click on "Navigate" on Uber to direct you to Waze, Waze starts with pop-up screen (asking if you want to find some restaurant ..bla bla) blocking the map at the very critical moment where you need to see the map to know the right turn or direction as you already started driving. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN LEAD INTO AN ACCIDENT.
Please let us have the option to disable it at least, as an Uber driver I have to close this annoying screen 10s times every day. Frustrating2 votes -
Bring back the “fastest route”, “add speed cameras”
Fastest route was removed from the app. Also at 3361 third avenue in the Bronx NY there is no camera icon for an installed camera in front of the addresses referenced in this message. Further we need a feature to add bus lane cameras, school zone start and end zone speed enforcement cameras

"Both lanes" reporting option
Add a "both lanes" option when reporting traffic jams, hazards, and accidents affecting both directions of travel at the same time.

Show speed cameras before starting drive
Here in Germany, having an app that shows you the speed camera just when coming near the camera has gotten illegal. But it is legal to check for speed cameras before starting the journey. It would be good if Waze would show speed cameras on the overview route just after calculating the route.

Add multiple widgets for different addresses
It would be great if I could add a widget for a specific address. Like the Google Maps Directions widget, it's a 1x1 widget that asks for an address and clicking that starts navigation to the specified location.

One step drive option - Skip all 3 current steps and just start the drive
Currently, when you are going to drive somewhere and you have the exact complete unambiguous address, you are forced to go through 3 steps after you enter the address.
you get a list with 1 matching address and some other non-matching addresses, from which you have to tap the matching address at the top.
A map appears with a button that says "view routes". Again, you are forced to tap the button "view routes"
You get a map with one route highlighted and preselected which I believe is the shortest distance and a "Leave later" and a "Go now" button…

Tsunami directions
At a Tsunami emergency Waze can assist by giving directions the the nearest higher ground.
Today there are also known routs for those cases so even without elevation Waze can just allow her users to learn add to the system a tsunami escape way for future use at an emergency.2 votes -
Improved Alert System for Fixed Cameras at Junctions in Waze
I would like to suggest an enhancement to the way Waze handles alerts for fixed cameras at junctions. Currently, Waze only provides voice alerts for the direction in which the camera is set up, even though the camera captures images from every direction at the junction.
For better safety and user awareness, it would be highly beneficial if Waze could provide voice alerts for all directions when a fixed camera is present at a junction. This would ensure that drivers are fully informed of the camera’s location, regardless of the direction they are traveling.

Change starting point
Choosing an alternative starting point other than my current location is next to impossible in Waze. I hear complaints from many people who struggle with this issue. Why not make it easy like other map navigation programs? Seems like an easy fix and would go a long way to ending this frustration and concern. I hope you take this concern seriously and do something about it.

Create a secure First Responder Waze Clone that alerts users of Waze standard
Create a secure First Responder Waze Clone for genuine first responder organisations (medical, fire etc) that not only does the excellent routing guidance, but which alerts users of normal Waze that a first response blue light run is coming through within 1 minute and from which direction so they can clear the way. Although not everyone uses Waze those that do and might act on the information may make a big difference and help save lives.

Cardinal directions on the map!
Cardinal directions on the map! GPS often can't tell which way you're facing immediately so you can't tell which way wazs is telling you to take your first tirn, causing you to need to guess which way to take said first turn, ESPECIALLY when there are no road signs to tell you which road waze is talking about, and when Murphy's law kicks in and you take the wrong first turn you end up cussing at waze and doing a pointless uturn that could have been avoided of waze was clear about which way it thinks is right/left on…

Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.
Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because I…

Samuel L. Jackson
Use Samuel L. Jackson's voice for navigation. Give directions in the same voice he used in the audio book "Go the F#*! to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach. Optional swearing of course.

Waze often tells drivers to turn too far from the actual turn, possibly causing wrong way drivers
I have noticed that when approaching a turn, Waze often tells me to turn several hundred feet before a turn, without indicating that the turn is still several hundred feet away.
I believe that this may be contributing to wrong way crashes on highways. When approaching a highway entrance ramp that will be coming up on the left, many highway intersections will have the off ramp for the opposite direction first. Being told to turn when the wrong road/driveway is next to me has caused me confusion For someone who is tired or impaired, being told to turn at the…3 votes
