Hear a ping sound 200m before a turn since I tend to miss the turn when “alert only” is on.
“Sound on” is a nuisance to conversations and listening to music, radio.

Hybrid Zoom Mode
Add a third option to the zoom choices. A hybrid mode that uses the closer of the speed or distance zoom. This would allow for the map to zoom in as you approach your next turn at highway speeds and also zoom into your location in slow traffic to show possible alternate routes, while otherwise staying zoomed out.

Move where alerts appear in Apple CarPlay
When an alert pops up in CarPlay, all other indicators on the screen disappear aside from the physical map. The alert should be able to pop up without removing the next navigational instruction and the eta box.

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 -
Android Auto lower render distance option
My Android Auto headunit is old and has low USB bandwidth, so when I'm out driving and I'm both using Waze on Android Auto and playing audio off my phone, when it has to render a large area my music will lag. Zooming in to freeze the map movement makes my music play again. This could be fixed by allowing us to either choose a "low performance" mode on android auto or letting us choose how far Waze renders non-map data on the map.
The fixes I've found online like disabling Bluetooth media to my car or swapping cables do…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

When you driving on a average speed zone
When you driving on a average speed zone than your left green panel what is showing the distance from average speed zone should show the speed too and the panel should change to red if the speed is more than the allowed average speed Also it should check the speed between one camera to the second one and not just from the first and last camera

Police Alerts
A police report should notify drivers when driving within a certain radius of the report and not just for drivers that are traveling in the direction of the report. This would be very beneficial on highways and eliminate the need to report police twice for both sides.
To make this make sense, if you’re traveling southbound on a two-lane road and you make a police report, it will only alert the southbound traffic, not the northbound.

Sync Waze with iPhone calendar
Sync Waze with iPhone calendar so I know when to leave for appointment and events according to distance and traffic etc. With an option to have a 10 or 15 minute warning before you have to leave and and option to arrive at your location 10 mins, 5 mins or on time. This would be awesome!!!!

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.

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.

Make next road number bigger when andriod auto
Font size of next road name is big but the size of next road number is too small.
Suggest to make it bigger and even move it behind the words of distance about next action.12 votes -
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 :)

Speed Camera Audio Alerts should be User not Community Choice
It seems there is a lack of clarity regarding Speed Camera Audio Alerts and how they are triggered.
From what I can tell, audio alerts for speed cameras are a "community" choice, meaning that an audio alert will only be played given a number of conditions:
Depending on where you live - Your "community" decides what the threshold should be, that is if you are currently travelling at the speed limit or below, some communities will trigger the audio alert. Some communities require you to be travelling over the speed limit before the audio alert it triggered.…

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.

Speedometer alert threshold at 20%
You have 5,10,15,20 km as threshold and 5%,10%,15%. In many countries, radar detection is set at 20%, so why not add 20% as well? Or even better, a custom number both in km and %
