Fix the gas price functionality by adding additional shortcuts to update gas station prices and automatically remove old data
The current method of adding gas prices is apparently too hard for many Wazers to find. Editors are constantly receiving PURs regarding incorrect and out of date gas prices. I have three recommendations for where to add a shortcut:
- Add a button to the page that shows all of the gas stations near your location.
- Add a button on the gas station's info page right below the listed prices.
- If a user is located within the gas station area, give a popup (like when Waze detects a traffic jam).
The gas station price functionality has the potential to be much greater but right now it feels very incomplete. Other navigation apps like Google Maps are working on this feature as well.
Lastly, Waze should automatically remove gas station price data that is older than 2 weeks. I see a station in my area that was last updated in August of 2017 (it's April 12th 2019 as of this writing). There is no reason old gas station needs to be kept as it is messing with up-to-date and accurate data.

Randy Marsh (South Park) navigation voice.
Hi, if you could make a Randy Marsh from South Park navigation voice, it'll be one of the very few things you could do, to improve Waze.
Thank you for one of the best apps/navigation service I have ever seen :)47 votesThank you for your suggestion. We will add this voice request to our User Request wish-list.

Can we get Car/Bumper stickers so we can see other Wazers on the road while driving
When I see other Wazers on the map it is difficult to see them on the road. It would be good to acknowledge each other as this a community project. So some sort of Waze sticker would be good

Display shield AND road name in the app
Please consider displaying one or more shields along with a road name in the app. Ideally, we could have the option to display more than one shield, but at least one would be very helpful. Other nav apps already do this today.
Currently, we can either display a single shield on a road OR the primary road name. Many roads are known by a common name but also have one or more shields that can be very important for navigation. Some intersections have a road name sign, while others only have a shield sign. Frequently, locals may know the road by the route # even though it also has a common name.
Because of the ambiguity, it can be very difficult for editors to decide which to display in the app. Guidance already varies by state and valuable time is still wasted today on debates over different approaches given the display limitation and perceived local preferences. But I believe everyone agrees there isn't a solution that requires no compromises and works everywhere.
It's understood that this would be a significant effort and would likely require a change in the WME to identify exactly what will be displayed. Perhaps some people will chime in with suggestions. Editors have already wasted a lot of editing time investigating, testing, and implementing hacky workarounds (and continue to do so today), so I believe the effort will be worth it -- for editors and app users.

Combine waze and google maps
It would be better to allocate servers for long trips as well. It would make Waze better. Also, why not incorporate the waze reporting and crowdsourcing features into Google maps? I would even pay a monthly subscription for that.

Speed camera, police and booze bus
Have speed camera, police and booze buses as all different icons so people can tell the difference between them. 1 icon for all police isn't specific enough.

Save location maps by custom folders & sub-folders

Waze LiveMap to device for navigation
Can we map out a route online using the website, then send it to your phone for navigation before you leave?
Would be useful especially when routing errands and have to plan multiple stops.

In road hazards, include an option for "rough road".
There are a number of times when traveling and the road I was on was in terrible condition. It was extremely bumpy, some pot holes, loose gravel, etc. I would have liked a warning regarding these conditions. While there is a pot hole warning option, that does not clearly express the quality of the road in toto. These rough road conditions apply to paved roads as well as dirt roads. In reality, in some places where I have driven the dirt roads were in better condition than the paved roads.

Add DUI check point report button
Add a DUI check point alert, report button that is seperate from police reports. This can be linked with online area reports plus waze drivers can report. But it would help if could say which direction on the street the checkpoint is set up on.

Group Ride mode for motorcycles – see who's fallen behind, in real time
THE PROBLEM
When a group of motorcyclists sets off together, Waze gets every rider
to the destination — but nobody knows anything about anyone else. If
someone falls behind, stops, or breaks down, the rest find out at the
next fuel stop. Sometimes 50 km later.Today we solve this with phone calls and repeated stops just to count
heads. On a motorcycle, in motion, that is dangerous.THE PROPOSAL: a "Group Ride" mode, available only in Motorcycle mode
Waze already knows who is riding a motorcycle — Settings > Navigation >
Vehicle type > Motorcycle. This proposal would live entirely behind
that existing setting.• The organiser creates a ride (destination + planned stops) and
shares an invite link or code
• Riders join with one tap and all get the same route
• Everyone in the group appears on the map, in real time
• Roles: Ride Leader at the front, Sweep at the back
• Alert when someone falls more than X km behind
• Alert when someone has been stopped for more than Y minutes while
the group keeps moving
• Alert when someone loses signal, showing their last known position
• A "Problem" button that sends your exact location to the whole group
• Automatic regroup point suggestionThresholds (X km, Y minutes) configurable by the organiser.
WHY GATE IT TO MOTORCYCLE MODE
Because it costs car drivers nothing. Riders in Motorcycle mode see one
extra entry point; every other Waze user sees no change at all, no new
buttons, no added complexity. The vehicle type toggle that makes this
possible already exists and already ships.It also solves a problem that is specific to two wheels. Cars travelling
together can call each other, pull over safely, and see one another in
the mirror. A rider in a 15-bike column cannot use a phone, cannot stop
on a mountain road, and loses sight of the group on every bend.WHY NOW
Motorcycle mode was recently expanded with rider-specific routing and
hazard warnings for potholes, speed bumps, raised crossings and narrow
bridges. That work recognises that riders need different information
from drivers. Group awareness is the same idea applied to the one thing
riders worry about most on a long ride.Waze is already the app on the handlebar mount. You cannot juggle two
apps while riding, and a second navigation app is not an option. Waze
has the map, the route, the traffic and the community. The only missing
dimension is the group.The principle is simple, and every group rider already knows it:
don't leave anyone behind.THE PROBLEM

Add estimated battery percentage when arriving at destination (for electric cars)
