make alerts omnidirectional
Alert users to incidents on both sides of the road when there is no divider on the road. On two lane highways voice alerts for police and accidents are directional. Meaning it only alerts you to reports that were made in the direction you are traveling. It should alert you to all reports on the road regardless of which direction you’re heading. Helpful for police and accidents when they could affect both lanes.

Full visual lane guidance (like TomTom or Sygic)
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding full visual lane guidance to Waze, similar to what TomTom or Sygic offer.This means showing all lanes clearly on the screen, with the correct lane highlighted using arrows or lines, not just a small icon or short instruction.
The current Direction card with a lane icon is helpful, but not enough, especially when driving on highways or in complex intersections.
A visual guide across the screen would make navigation safer and easier to follow – especially for less experienced drivers or tourists.
Please consider adding this feature in future updates.
Thank you!5 votes -
Report Button/Police Reporting
When I report something the Report button on the bottom right turns to hearts for a second showing 5 points or whatever for reporting but the issue is that I can't quickly report another until that goes away which is particularly annoying when I'm trying to report police in the median who can knab both sides. What I use to do is file my side Police→Hidden/Visible in 2 secs then I'd quickly hit report again and hit Police→Other Side so that the two reports weren't too far off from each other on the map. So getting rid of the hearts…

Recurring Weekly Planned Drive
Have the ability set a planned drive to repeat every day, weekly. With a starting date and til a set date or never to expire.
I go to work every morning at the same time, to the same place and there is a bunch of traffic: is a pain to have to set up this great feature every week225 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

.
When reporting map errors during navigation the app needs to capture location and at least the immediate directions you were following. Since this is most often (realistically) done by the driver, and most often when driving, when a bad direction or map error is encountered and the driver deviates from the previous directions and presses the "report map error" button (which ideally would be a single button press on the map), the app should be able to recognize where the driver deviated, how they deviated, and automatically fill in the error details based on what was originally asked…

Make car icon customizable
Make the little car icon on the screen while I'm navigating customizable. I'd like to be able to make it look like my car...starting with my car's color. You could have a small number of car types (truck, van, sedan, sports car), or a more elaborate library of make/model/year (I vote for 2010 Chevy Camaro!)
171 votesGreat news! You have 10 different icons to choose from.

How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
By defining new Waze modes of operation, the central computer could get the location of any pedestrian or cyclist connected to the Waze application.
The following safety features could be specially helpful when the weather is misty or rainy:
The central computer could derive that a pedestrian is crossing a wide road and could inform the near by vehicle drivers. As a result the driver will slow down.
When driving on a narrow road, any car driver could be warned that he is approaching of a walking pedestrian or of a bicycle rider…7 votes -
Restore and add more alert choices and sub-choices - make the last more visible
Hello, Waze. For unknown reason to us, your users, you are lowering the variety of the alerts that could be reported and/or their sub-options. The most striking example is the police reporting option where it is not possible to report a police from the other side. Please restore it. Please, add the following reports:
1) stationary speed camera
1.1) please add a detail about the direction the already added stationary speed cameras are pointing at - towards the incoming cars or at the same direction of the road lane group. Also add this as an option for the ones that…2 votes -
I need Waze to block all iOS popups while running.
I need Waze to block all iOS popups while running. Sometimes a "select wifi" popup blocks my screen while driving. Other times I get SMS/texts blocking the view. I don't want to start fiddling with the mobile while driving so I hope you can block them automatically

Waze needs to shut up if I start voice commands
If I'm in a busy area and want to change or stop guidance I will say "OK Waze" but I can never get my command spoken because waze is constantly interrupting me. This is insanely aggravating and should not be happening when I'm trying to drive and give a command.
So once I say OK Waze, waze should stop providing updates until the exchange is finished.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.

Next action on directions
Right now, depending on the what the next action is, the upper left corner overlay can be four or five lines, obscuring the map underneath. My suggestion is that overlay is collapsed to the the first line (i.e, 'right turn, 5.6 mi) until you get close, say two miles, when the rest of the information would be displayed.

The directional notification display is too big. Make it smaller 1 line at the top of the screen.
The directional notification display is too big that it covers nearly half of the screen. Make it 1 line at the top of the svreen

Auto turn screen on/off
When driving by directions, it would be great if Waze could turn off the screen when there is more than a specified distance to the next turn, and turn the screen on again when I'm within the specified distance.
We should have the option to set the specified distance to 500m, 1km, 2km, 5km and 10km.
It would also be nice to have an option to set the screen to turn on for 30 seconds or so if a report within our event radio comes in.

An option to switch on the screen a second map view showing the route with zoom out
It could be a good idea to have a switch on/off option of a second map view (in one corner of the screen) to see simultaneously the route from higher perspectives (i.e., a zoom out view), in order to acquire information regarding where the Waze would direct us, which roads, after every recalculations of the optimal route.

Route Optimizer
In Waze you enter multiple addresses, then you pick up your start destination.
Waze resolves your Route with shortest time or kilometers.
After you finish the first route, if you are in Route Optimizer, and start Waze, Waze automatically picks the next optimized route and so on with the third and next entered destinations. I know there is a planner but when the time is up, the destination is gone from the history.2 votes -
Allow a longer delay before voice prompts
When using my iPhone with bluetooth handsfree kit, I miss the first word of each prompt while the kit detects bluetooth audio and mutes my radio in the car. Please increase delay between starting the announcement (or add a selectable option to do so) to overcome this problem.

Rasta/Patois Voice
Hello Dear Waze Team,
My colleagues, friends and I are of the strong opinion that you should incorporate a Rasta-Patois voice in you fantastic App!
When you start the route it could be the usual:
Start-Up:
Jaaah Rastafari, welcome to the waaze app, only way to cruise on the righteous path to zion, following to footsteps of the lion. Bless up.Turns and the usual:
I and I a gonna turn left over eah.For police etc. don’t shoot this sherrif.
Contact me if you have any questions or updates on this being developed!!
Thanks
