Reporting road closures is a joke.
No matter how much you tap all over the screen you can't report a road closure. Also can't do it on the run and map is too convoluted. You should provide a comment box to type in or say the name of the road and nearest cross street where closure is. And you can do it at any time even after you stop driving or reach your destination. The road closure will still be closed.

BUG - Waze functionality - Locked when showing ads
Can't for the life of me find a way to report general bugs, this is however technically a suggestion, since you're free to fix your bugs...
To the problem, for some time now I've had some problem when stopping or going to a standstill where an ad pops up on the screen.
I don't mind them at all, but what happens is that it locks the screen to only that ad and doesn't close when I start driving again, map also doesn't update in the background.
App seems to be responsive, but I cant do anything but press…2 votesThanks for reaching out.

OPTION: Hide your home address/work address from main settings screen
If I ever lose my phone, it's too easy for someone to open the Waze app and see where I live and where I work. An option to hide those would be good.

Either allow users to disable popup notifications, or reduce the amount of screen real-estate used to display it
Popups for slow-downs in traffic, traffic cameras, etc may be useful, but why not condense the information into a smaller area which doesnt obstruct ones view of the route. Secondly, why do I need to see the same notification repeatedly when I've already acknowledged it for the first time?

Separate the ability to show the posted speed limit from the speedometer.
Currently, the only way to see the posted speed limit, is to toggle on the speedometer. I’m a truck owner that keeps the speedometer toggled off, as the speed that is on my screen is 12 mph faster than I am actually driving. I don’t have the option to see the posted speed limit, because it is grayed out, unless you are “using” the speedometer.

Have a way to move display icons
I would like to be able to move the icons on the screen . Also add shortcut icons to display for common used alerts/warnings. Example would be to move the speedometer icon around to a place of my liking. Then create short cut for vehicle on shoulder so I could just tap it to activate it.

Make switching avoid highways on/off easier
Often times during my commute I need to know if it's quicker to continue using highways or go local. Currently this means navigating several sub-menus which is distracting, dangerous and sometimes impossible. It would be nice to have a quick option on the home screen so you can compare the ETAs and routes for both highway and local

Apple carplay screen covered
Please change the notification size for problems on the road, or make it easily dismissed. At the moment it takes up half the map blocking most of the directions. Frustrating and unsafe at times

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

Flip or swap speed to other side of screen (for CarPlay) and/or make speed limit as big as actual speed.
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: For RH Drive vehicles, especially with CarPlay or where the phone is mounted to the left of the steering wheel, the speed limit (as opposed to actual speed) is too hard to read quickly while driving.
Some solutions:
1) A simple option to flip (or swap) the speed widget to the other side of the screen... and / or
2) An option that displays the speed limit the same size as the actual speed, perhaps partly tucked behind…3 votes -
On screen alert display time needs to be increased greatly when getting close.
Being able to choose “still there”or not disappears from the display long before one can confirm the alert either way.

Add the ability to tap the top of screen to see the last ad or banner that appeared.
Many times I see a banner drop but it disappears before I can see it. I should be able to tap the very top of the screen when it is safe to read the last banner.
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.

App starts in dashboard menu
It would be useful if the app, once opened, went to a dashboard or menu which allows selection of one of many options. Currently it opens right to the map and suggests where I might be going based on previous habits. I would rather have that option available along with other options such as a general search, favorites, home, work, gas, etc. This could easily be done with 6 or so large icons to keep the screen clean. This would also avoid the need to multiple selection when going somewhere other than the defaul that's pops up on the screen…

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

iOS App: fewer taps to report incidents?
Feature request: Please allow custom shortcuts for reporting common items like "Car on Shoulder" or "Police" or "Crash". Maybe users can select which ones to have directly on the map display screen.
Right now, it takes 4 taps on the screen to report "Car on shoulder".
Hazard (the yellow triangle)
Hazard (another yellow triangle!!!)
Car on shoulder
ReportThat is too many. I would put an icon for this this directly on the map screen. This is the most common interaction I have with Waze while driving.

on my iphone I can see the option to add 'closure' however on my car screen, this option is not available
Why does the screen not copy to my car screen? 2 x recently I have encountered this issue, one was when a road was completely closed for 24 hours due to a thatched cottage being on fire and 80 firefighters across the road - the app only showed 1 lane closed so clearly other drivers encounter this issue, and yesterday in central Milton Keynes a road was closed but the app screen on my car only showed 1 lane closed. Please review the system to mirror mobile phones to systems in cars to prevent delays and traffic hold-ups as…

Option to shut off nearby event popups
Add an option to the client in order to lock the event popup to only show the events on our route and NOT on all the nearby streets. We don't care about other streets problems, but we need the ones on our routes.

Please add in "Siri Shortcuts" an option to show the "Reports ahead" screen making this option safer and hands free.

Increase the size of time to go and distance to go at bottom of screen when on a route
When traveling on a route, it would be helpful to have the time to go and distance to go that is at the bottom of the screen in a larger, more easily visible format.
