Ability to name drive plan
The ability to plan the drive and get the notification to leave on time is super helpful but I wish I could name them without plan it in the calendar event to have it named.

Fastest route regardless of toll fees
Currently Fastest Route takes toll amount and distance into consideration. Many times, better routes with much higher tolls + a longer highway detour is in fact faster.
While there is an option to opt out of tolls, there is no way to have the "Fastest" route regardless.
Fastest should mean really the fastest and not "according to what Waze thinks people might want".

End route at end of closed segments
When the destination would end on a segment that is currently closed the route ends on the next closest segment (that isn't closed) which in many cases is a road in the back of the property where there's no access to the destination.
Consider ending the route at the last node that is not closed on the route - at the node the closure ends/starts.

Buy Gas Buddy and merge the apps!
Your gas price functionality is not useful, inaccurate, etc. It would be awesome if you and Gas Buddy merged into one single app. Best Gas Prices along route would be the best feature ever!

Provide Cost for Dynamic Toll Roads
When a suggested route includes a toll that has flexible prices based on other factors, please provide the cost for the toll for that route. For example, in and around Washington, DC, there are several toll roads that have flexible prices based on traffic, time of day, etc. It would be useful when selecting when to use a route with one of those tolls if Waze could provide us the amount we will be charged for the suggested route.

Use phone's music apps like Samsung Music in Waze instead of streaming apps like Spotify
At the moment we can only use streaming services with Waze, rather than using our phone's built in media players to play music saved to our phone.
This is really impractical for long drives - I lose mobile signal all the time when I'm driving between towns and cities, and streaming services are no good for that
Also, streaming services are usually no good unless you pay for a premium version, otherwise you are constantly jarred by adverts
As it stands, I constantly have to touch my phone screen while driving, to switch between Waze and my local music player - this is really impractical and unsafe. Google Maps let's me integrate my local music player, it would be great if Waze did too :)At the moment we can only use streaming services with Waze, rather than using our phone's built in media players to play music saved to our phone.

Speed Van Report
Hey guys,
I have an issue where a lot of police reports are actually just speed vans. Where possible, could you guys add a separate report for speed vans/cameras?
Kind Regards,

Bring back searching on saved first
Bring back the feature that when you start typing a place on the search bar, the app would first try to find the place in your saved places. For example, I have my friend William's place saved as "William". If I start typing the letter W, the app would automatically bring as the first suggestion, "William". Now it doesn't and it slow me down a lot...

Icono velocidad muy pequeñoad
Cuando se esta utilizando el navegador, el icono que sale en la pantalla de la velocidad que se ha de ir y el de la velocidad y a la que se circula debería ser mas grande ya que es muy pequeño. El tamaño debería ser grande como el de Google Maps. Conozco a varias personas que les pasa como a mi, que no lo ve bien porque es muy pequeño. Estaría bien que lo solucionará y lo pusieran más grande como el de Google Maps ganaría mucho. Gracias.

Organisation des icônes sur l’ecran
L’icône donnant la vitesse n’est pas fonctionnel dans son positionnement. Il faudrait le positionner ou l’on veut l’idéal étant en haut à droite. Explication : lorsqu’il y a un radar, des bouchons, nous ne voyons plus la vitesse. Il faut donner la possibilité de positionner les icônes dont on a besoin et à l’endroit certain

Dynamically configure waze session based on Bluetooth connection (for motorbike/car/truck)
Certain apps have the ability to detect what Bluetooth device is connected.
My suggestion is to allow users to pre-configure different Bluetooth connections to different vehicular modes, for example, a Bluetooth headset may be used on a motorbike and therefore Waze could detect that this Bluetooth connection is present and set itself for motorbike mode, likewise, an in-car radios own Bluetooth connection could be configured for a car, and finally, a different Bluetooth connection could also be configured for a truck, I envisaged then that this would allow users to predefine certain options like toll passes, low emission zones and parking restrictions etc. All based on the current Bluetooth connection method.
For example, motorbikes are allowed toll-free within low emission zones and also are free within toll roads, this could be allowed to dynamically configure routing for the motorbike where it will be optimal to use tolls as they are free, whereas for cars, there may be a toll pass required, or for trucks certain roads are impassable, again, this all could be dynamically pre-configured by the user depending on what device it is connected to on Bluetooth.
Currently, the user interface for changing between cars and motorbikes and adjusting any toll or highway settings is very cumbersome and requires a lot of user input to change between the two. Also, this may lead to unexpected charges if a motorbike user forgets to change Waze from motorbike mode (where tolls are free) and inadvertently uses Waze while still configured for motorbike mode while driving a car.
The clunky user interface does not invite users to easily change between the two.
Furthermore, the ability to easily change between different vehicular modes allows users to pre-configure. For example, a motorbike may not wish to go on a motorway where as the same owner may wish to drive their car on a motorway. Having the ability to pre-configure motorbike to car to truck depending on Bluetooth connection method I feel is a useful system update

Audio alerts for speed and red light cameras
My audio alerts for speed and red light cameras stopped working a few months ago. I'm running waze directly on my phone (Google pixel 7) with the latest version of Android OS and waze app installed. My settings for alerts are correct. I see the flashing camera on the map and text alert on the screen but audio alerts are not working. I live in NYC where cameras are on every other block. Constantly monitoring the phone screen for visual alerts while driving is annoying and dangerous. I see lots of similar posts with replies from waze that the issue was fixed but sadly it's not or at least not for everyone. Please address it. Thank you for your help.

Messages are read aloud whilst driving
In Google maps whilst it is in Auto mode, it will read aloud any incoming messages (if turned on), so that I am informed of things without having to check them whilst driving, which is not allowed.

The traffic direction cant be seen
When someone post bad traffic on any street and the app navigate you via that street, you can barely see the direction of the traffic. So me as a driver have to lean and stare at a phone up close and thats very dangerous, you agree.. so my solution is, make the red/orange traffic line visible only on one side of the direction line. Depending on the direction of the traffic, if traffic is in opposite direction of ours the visible line will be on the left side/margin and vice versa. I hope I explained it accurate, its easier to draw it hehe

Waze debería identificar el tipo de vehículos, en el caso de vehículo pesado no crearle ruta por zonas limitadas por ley espacio y riesgo.
