  2. Type of hazard

    Better options for reporting a hazard, particularly a hazard that is in live lane of carriageway. One example that stands out would be to report a car that has stopped in the live carriageway. Currently, I can only report a vehicle on shoulder.
    Example: 'Report - Hazard - Vehicle Stopped in Carriageway'.
    This is a very important reporting option.
    Example 2: 'Report - Hazard - Wildlife in Carriageway'.
    Basically, more hazard reporting options would be useful.

  4. Sending a location to Android Auto from the phone is set as new destination without proposing to set it as a stop

    When using Waze on Android Auto and sending a location to waze from a phone app, the location is set as new destination, replacing the existing destination if there was one. A possibility to select between replace or add a stop would be better.

  5. Voice options for each phrase

    Voice options is a nice feature. But to make it really great it must stop being boring and embarrasing by repeating same phrases every time (especially on fun voices, like Terminator or Zombie).
    - Add several possible options for each phrase to make it less boring.
    - Never repeat same joke twice in row.
    - Only play jokes when time allows, e.g. 1,5 km remaining - a nice oportunity to crank one.
    So just allow recording clear directions and jokes separately and mix them programmatically when makes sense.

  6. Need an update for overheating phone!!

    When using Waze on CarPlay it causes my phone to heat up quickly and end up stop charging and kills my battery ( 40% in an hour) by running Waze on CarPlay. This needs addressed. It started happening after the iOS 16 update and doesn’t do it with any other navigation app or any other app period.

    Please fix this. Oh and add stop signs yield signs and traffic lights to the app as well.

  7. Stop app closing when in traffic

    The app closes when stuck in traffic or stopped for a long time at a red light. That's dumb. If it's important to have the app close automatically then maybe it should at least notify you so you don't keep driving and expecting directions

  8. Suggestion for Adding Stop Signs to Waze Map Editor: Enhancing Safety, Traffic Flow, and User Experience

    Dear Waze Development Team,

    I know this feature was denied back in 2022 but I would like to suggest adding this feature again due to how important it is. This feature will allow map editors to include stop signs on the Waze map.

    Here are a few reasons why:
    Enhanced Safety: Drivers will have advanced notice of stop signs, allowing them to prepare to stop safely, which can reduce the risk of accidents at intersections.

    Improved Traffic Flow: Accurate stop sign information helps drivers make better decisions, contributing to smoother traffic movement and less congestion.

    Optimized Route Planning: Knowing where…

  9. Stop sending users going to a Summer st address to Congress st

    Boston, MA.

    I regularly use uber or lyft to get to my office at the even side of the 250-300 section Summer st, Boston, MA. For whatever reason, any driver using the waze app tries to drop me off in a back alley on Congress st. This is also true for almost every address in this section of summer street.

    The problem is that Summer street is a raised road two stories above the street level of congress street. None of the buildings in this alleyway offer public access to get to Summer st. The only way to get to…

  10. Stop HOV Notifications

    WAZE will always default to HOV. It is not always the most efficient and best option, especially during non-rush hour, when the option to lane change makes more sense. It adds unnecessary and distracting instructions to driving. I have made lane changes because WAZE is telling me to get off of an HOV that I was never on. This option is clearly state centric for California and does not make sense countrywide.

  11. Waze has turned my little side street into a FUCKING FREEWAY. How do I get it to stop?

    Do not direct traffic down residential side streets. They are ruining quiet communities.

  14. Don't inundate me with popups on startup. . . EVER

    I'm happy for you that you're updating your app, but PLEASE STOP throwing popups at me when I start the app afterward. That will only do three things: 1. Piss me off. 2. Endanger my safety and the safety of others during the most dangerous time of driving (pulling out of a parking spot/driveway) with the distractions. 3. Ensure that I never actually see the information you're trying to get me to see.

    Please. Use common sense. Don't do this.

  16. Stop the app turning off

    The app continually turns itself off anytime you stop. Most importantly it does this when you stop for gas. Let's say you've listened to some of the true crime podcast and also understand that this is one of the most vulnerable times that people driving on their own have. So it would be fantastic if the navigation stayed on and the people that you shared your travel with could continue to see you and not put you into doubly bad spot where you are outside, and now the people you shared your location with can't see you.
    It's like you…

  19. Integrate with retail location finders

    Can you integrate with web or native app location finders to help add a stop or diversion en route? For instance integrate with the Starbucks location finder to indicate where the nearest Starbucks is on my current route (ahead of me, not behind), so I can divert there. Could be Home Depot, Movie Theater, etc. Perhaps look for installed apps on setup?

  20. Driving lane information

    It would be great if a user that put notification about stopped vehicle, could also mark on which lane the event happened or is present, for example: stopped on the side, on the first lane, on the second lane or third lane
