Add “avoid freeways” to drop down menu on map screen.
It would be super useful to have the option to avoid freeway’s using the drop down list instead of having to scroll through all the preferences to find it. Especially once you’ve already started driving, and you want to change routes. It’s much more useful than “avoid ferries” when you live in a big city. I have 3 freeways near my home, and when I need to go just a few miles it always wants to put on a freeway just to have me get off one exit later.

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…

Work with Tollsmart
Tollsmart is an app that allows you to choose which bridge you want to go through and plan your trip to pay less toll. It would be awesome if this app joined with Tollsmart to give users the same benefits <3

Warning markers away from your location to mark dangers!!!
Say your driving and you pass what you wanted to report and you pull over a few miles away because it was not safe to be near the location. Can you select the location to add a mark with details of the danger? Can't there be a way select a location to put a marker with dangers like the Gas Line that exploded across I77 in WV. Cause you could not be close to that one.

[iPhone - Waze 3.0] Add back your Waze mood icon & badge.
With the iPhone 3.0 upgrade, I miss seeing my mood icon with group badge and status badge. Perhaps you can replace the large waze icon on the bottom left corner with your mood icon with the appropriate badges.

Report "Good" road conditions
When I report "bad" road conditions, it helps drivers around me avoid an area. Sometimes, when I reach an area that is reported as "bad" it turns out to actually be less congested or jammed up than reported earlier.
It would be very beneficial to everyone using the app if we could report when a road has good conditions. This would meet the goal of providing real time map updates that benefit everyone looking to see what route is best for them based on the conditions.

Change place "Closed or moved" report to "Permanently closed or moved"
Today, users often report a place as "closed" because it is temporarily under renovation, or because the listed hours are incorrect. However, if an editor accepts this report, the place is deleted, which doesn't address the actual issue. These mistaken reports could be reduced if the menu item for this report was changed to include the word "Permanently."

Routing quality has plummeted after the Google acquisition - please get it back in shape!
(copied over from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=96033)
I am a passionate Waze user who has converted many friends to the app, and has become a top 4% reporting contributor (I don't participate at all in any other gamified apps or websites). But now my support is waning fast.
Ever since Google bought Waze, routing has progressively become worse and worse. I initially switched to Waze because Google Maps routing had become horrible - inefficient routes when there were obviously better ways to go, etc. Waze does awesomely creative things like telling me to get off the freeway at an exit then immediately…

Rally navigator voice
What if we could enjoy a navigator voice with similar indications like a real RALLY navigator (co-driver), obviously much more simplified and reduced to our daily drive capabilities, cars and routes! Something like
"Right 5 over crest, Left 3 don't cut, 100 Right 1 tidy into Left 2, 300, left 2 over kick into right 3 tightens." eheh
It should be more exciting then the stock "turn right, then turn left".5 votes -
Apple CarPlay
In Apple CarPlay could you show 2-3 step by step instructions instead of just one? It’s helpful to know what move to make next after a turn or exit. Especially if it’s a quick turn in 25 feet or we need to move into another lane.

Support with login difficulties
How about make it possible for someone to log into Waze from home? Or, when there is trouble with that, make it possible to recover a password? In many months of using Waze on my phone with no trouble, I am constantly unable to logon to the website, the password reset via reset never works (seriously - 0% success), and there does not seem to be an actual person to chat with about this. Very frustrating for what should be a helpful app.

More candy on road!!
Is there a way to add more "candy" to the roads, other than just the coupe of pieces when you 1st get the app? I use the Waze app everyday, and thought it was cool when a piece of candy appeared on the road, and you would receive a few extra points for running it over. Could something be set to have one appear every 100 miles or something? I don't know what the points give you...but it would be "something", to keep people starting and running their app more often...maybe? Just a suggestion....and I think it would be an…

Audible Alert for Fixed Speed Cameras
Every Sat Nav device that I have ever owned HAS an audible (sound) alert to speed cameras. This is because most drivers keep their eyes on the road most of the time, not on their Sat Nav. I have done some basic programming in the past and know that adding a PING (sound) to something that happens in a software program is the EASIEST thing that a developer could possibly do. So, WHY on earth are Waze developers ignoring this important feature, when so many people ask for it? Just flashing up Speed Camera in words at the bottom of…

Rotas em áreaa de risco
Gostaria de bloquear rotas para minha segurança. Vejo que o waze sugere a rota mais rápida que nem sempre é a mais segura. Gostaria de uma opção que os próprios usuarios pudessem sinalizar que a rota é perigosa e então outros usuarios podem decidir se irão prosseguir pela rota ou não! Também gostaria de bloquear algumas rotas, para evitar de segui-las. Falo de segurança, de n entrar em comunidades perigosas, de evitar ao máximo o risco de vida. O waze sempre dá 3 opções de rota e muitas vezes as 3 mais perigosas para o destino. Nós brasileiros precisamos muito…

Make it so that I can just see a map with my entire route to work with traffic issues, police, etc shown.
Why should the default be turn by turn to work? That actually doesn't make sense. If I tap on work, I should see the complete map to see what traffic looks like, not some voice telling me how to navigate a drive I have done most days for 10 years. This is in fact so obvious that I can't believe that's not the way it is already. If you do that one thing, I will start using the app every day, and it will be wonderful. For now I guess I will keep using google maps every day.

Less popups when starting a navigation
When starting a navigation, a pop up ask if I want to share my ride. That's not that annoying but I would like an option to disable it.
Im often starting a navigation from other apps, when the navigation is received by waze, it shows a first screen where I need to press on "received location". I click on it and then a second pop up telling me to share. And this is when waze dont pop to ask if I am a passenger. It sometime necessitie 3 press to start a drive. Google maps does it in 0 press…

Subscribe to a stretch of roadway to obtain realtime notifications of any hazards within a geographic area
Certain professional individuals who drive the same road again and again could benefit from a feature where the user is able to subscribe to any new updates on a specific route or specified area, not just what is within map view for the user. As this would be a power user option, it should be able to be enabled in the configuration settings if a user wishes to use the feature. Notifications could come in via either the system notification tray, or via popups within the app. A total listing of what's entered and the thumbs status of each entry…

Optimal Speed Suggestion
If there's a big traffic jam at a point 2/3 of the way to my destination, it may not help me get there on time if I drive at full speed or over the speed limit up to the point of the jam. Waze could set my suggested driving speed lower for a more even pace over the course of the trip. In some cases, a lower driving speed may help me conserve fuel (and thereby create a smaller carbon footprint) and if many drivers use this we may see safer roads as fewer people speed around rushing to get…

speedlimit notification based on MPH over limit
Currently notification is based on percentage over the posted limit. In the USA ticketing is typically based on MPH over the limit. example 2-10MPH over is 2 points, 10-15MPH over is 3 points, etc...
Ability to set the notification threashold based on how many MPH you are over the posted limit would be a great option.
