Alert for what is causing a delay and where the delay
Can an alert be added for when a delay on a route is x minutes or percentage longer (user defined length) longer than typical as soon as the user enters the desired location and the routes are calculated? This way the user would see more than just the additional time, but understand where it is and how long the delay is currently expected to be.

Get the next turn announcement in distance instead of time
Coming from Google Maps, it is frustrating hearing the next turn, announcement in time, I can't even figure out how far am I from that
You should be able to change that in settings3 votes -
Précisions dans les distances
Sur smartphone, Wase m'indique un trajet St Maur (94 Gatteville (50) de 296 km. Sur Mappy, ce même trajet affiche 396 km, ce qui est la réelle distance. Je souhaiterais comprendre ?

Move alert notification placement on CarPlay to avoid missing exit
When I receive an alert (I notice it most often when there’s a stopped car on side of road) on the Waze UI via CarPlay, the notification overlays on top of the upcoming exit/turn. In order to not miss my turn/exit, I’m forced to tap There/Not there just so I can get it out of the way. Not only is that frustrating for the driver but it’s also giving the app bad data.

Traffic lights navigation
Mostly in cities, sometimes I'm used to get navigation guidance from people, telling me to "turn right at the 3rd traffic light ahead" or "turn left at the next junction ahead". I think such navigation method - by counting road & infrastructure elements, rather than calculating distance - could be useful and preferable for some people. It may require initially mapping all these road elements in order to enable it... I believe its worthwhile :)

Bring Back Shaq!
Shaq's navigation was the most fun thing I've encountered in waze! I couldn't wait to get back in the car and just drive until i hear the awaited BBQ chicken alert!

As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

Sometimes screen gets grayed out after some alert pops up and I become unable to tap and move the map
When an alert pops up, the map gets grayed out, and after it closes out, sometimes the map stays grayed out forever, so it is inaccessible and I cannot scroll it to see the route ahead. The only way of fixing this is by closing Waze, removing the running app from the memory and opening Waze again, and then it needs to recalculate the route.

Speeding
Please add an option (for users who choose to turn it on) to have Waze make a loud annoying sound continuously for as long as we are over our selected speeding threshold. A single alert tone that sounds like every other alert tone is not enough for me and my lead foot. I need to be punished.

Please add multiple stops
I was a waze user before but when I encountered with multiple stop problem. Waze can only allow one stop to be added and it is confusing. Please make is simplify where we can add multiple stops and check the map and distance at the same time . Also we can change order of the stops on convenience.
28 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Landscape redesign
Please can you redesign the landscape mode on Waze. The black box at the top with next turn and street name is to big. Reducing the size or making it transparent would let us see more of the map. Also the small black box at the button with time and distance could be split and move next to the navigation and report button. This would also give more screen space for the map.
29 votesGreat news! Moving the black box at the top of the screen when in landscape is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Voice guidance only sound option
Allow users to disable alert sounds, but keep guidance instructions.
I like voice guidance, especially when waze directs me to do something weird in an unfamiliar area to avoid traffic.
I find all alert notifications extremely annoying, and do not use the app for that purpose. It would be nice to be able to disable the annoying sounds and keep the useful ones turned on.

ETA in the notification bar
It would be great if the ETA and distance lwft showed as a drop down mini version in the notification bar. Google Maps has this,but I prefer Waze.

Hazard descriptions
I would like to see the hazard description when it pops up to alert me that one is coming soon. Currently, to see what kind of hazard it is, you have to find it on the road and click on the icon. Then you will know if it's a car on the side or something in the road, etc. The pop up alert should tell you what it is so you know what to expect.

Alert sounds only for police.
I’m not a fan of sound alerts but would like one just for police alerts.

When I hit the park button, make it so that I can find my car later (with an arrow and distance) so I can find my car.
They make apps to do this and Waze almost has everything you need. It could be great if Waze suggested it after you stop moving for a period of time at your destination.

Waze for Emergency vehicles.
Not for the common Waze market. But might be useful for Public safety and emergency situations. Give the "ambulance"(example) Waze and it can help alert all other vehicles of the incoming emergency vehicle and its route. Also it can help navigate the Emergency vehicle to easier routes.
117 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Make camera/police notification distance speed dependent
In low speed zones, there will be a notification for a camera coming up in 600 meters. That's way too far: at 50kph, I'll have forgotten about it by the time I get there.
The other way around, 600 meters might be too short on a highway, at high speed (especially if the camera/speedtrap is reported slightly ahead of where it actually is)
