Add traffic like icons to your maps like Google Maps.
Google Maps has traffic light icons on their maps which is very useful when deciding what intersection to use, especially when making a left hand turn in heavy traffic areas. I don't understand why this feature is not offered since Waze is under the Google umbrella.

Customizable Speeding Alert Sounds
Please consider allowing users to customize the sound when a user exceeds the selected speed limit threshold. The beep the app makes is too quiet and easy to miss. A customizable sound/volume or an audible alert of "Speed Threshold Exceeded" would be useful for users who desire the alert to opt into.

Automatic ETA and Live Activity
I would like to have a live activity on my phone just like google maps have been testing out so you can see the progress of your trip. When I share my eta with someone, it would be cool if they got a live activity just like Lyft/uber does. Also it would be awesome if it automatically shared eta and live activity every time you drive to or from a particular place 🤓

Avoid street : setting
A simple setting that allows us to input streets to avoid, unless it's critical to go down. Often it takes me to a few streets that are very dangerous, or leave you in traffic for 10 minutes.
Introducing this feature will help allow people to; avoid traffic, bad turns, An ex you really, really don't want to see.3 votes -
Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Problem
Waze’s static database cannot display real-time variable speed limits (VSLs) on roads like Israel’s Highway 20 (Ayalon), Switzerland’s A1, Germany’s A3, Austria’s A1, the UK’s M25, the USA’s I-95, Canada’s Highway 401, Australia’s M1, and India’s Delhi expressways. Fixed speed limits (e.g., 120 km/h or 60 km/h) can mislead drivers, risking speeding tickets or accidents, especially on long stretches without repeater signs. Showing no limit confuses users and suggests unedited segments. This issue frustrates Waze communities in the UK, USA, India, Canada, and beyond, demanding a smarter solution.Current Options
No limit: Safest option, avoiding misinformation, but frustrates users expecting guidance and implies segments weren’t edited. A better solution exists.
Maximum limit (e.g., 120 km/h): Risks speeding when actual limits are lower, endangering safety.
Average limit (e.g., 100 km/h): Unreliable due to VSL fluctuations, causing incorrect warnings.
Lowest limit (e.g., 60 km/h): Overly cautious, annoying users with unnecessary alerts.
Solution
Display a country-specific speed limit sign (e.g., Israel’s red circle, USA’s rectangle) in the same UI spot as numeric limits, but with a symbol (e.g., question mark "?", exclamation mark "!", or eye "👀") instead of a number, urging drivers to check roadside VSL signs. In the Waze Map Editor (WME), add a simple, country-specific symbol option for editors to tag VSL segments.Benefits
Safer Roads: Prevents reliance on wrong limits, reducing accidents and fines, aligning with Waze’s safety mission.
Clear Guidance: Familiar signs with a symbol ensure intuitive UI and proactive VSL alerts.
Trusted Map: Shows active editing, boosting confidence in Waze’s community-driven reliability.
Global Impact: Enhances user experience worldwide, from Tel Aviv to Toronto, strengthening Waze’s leadership.
Simple Innovation: Minimal UI/WME changes, echoing Waze’s Israeli-born crowd-sourced vision.
Example
On Israel’s Ayalon Highway or Switzerland’s A1, where limits vary (60–120 km/h), Waze shows a red circle with a "?" to prompt checking electronic signs, ensuring safety and confirming editor input.Call to Action

Speed bumps / humps
In Mexico, there are to many speed bumps and humps (Topes) but not traffic signs on the road and streets. This has provoked many accidents and damages to the cars, in some cases some deaths. Please let us know where there are with a warning. It's really urgent

Android Auto display on instrument cluster on VW Group cars
I've hit this issue and according to research it has been reported by other people using Waze Android Auto on VW Group cars.
In my case I have a Skoda Superb, and when using Waze Android Auto navigation, the instrument cluster will often(/always) show incorrect symbols for turns.
It seems to mostly go wrong for roundabouts, which the UK has many of. Roundabout direction icons will either incorrectly show as just a turn, or in the worst cases a right turn at a roundabout will show with a U-turn symbol.
This confusing display has been enough to stop me using Waze, I'm using Google Maps instead.

Add School as a Category
Currently, there is no way to program School as a main destination. We have WORK and HOME, but no SCHOOL. This is a huge oversight., With so many of us working from home, driving the kids to school is the majority of the driving we do these days.

Move hazard button
The hazard button should be moved from right of display screen to left for CarPlay. Currently I have a wide display that requires me to lean just to reach it.
It also should be made a bit bigger as it’s hard to hit it with the leaning.

Make the speedometer floating
Make the speedometer floating so that it is "pushed up" rather than obscured by alerts which is when you need the speed display the most

Please add stop lights.
Please add stop lights. They help when I'm not driving on the highway and especially when I'm driving in the city. I count how many stop lights I have so I know exactly where to turn and don't feel consistently lost.
