Which lane should follow before getting to the location where Waze tells your next turn
Waze shows the lane that should be used for the next turn, but do not show which lane you should follow at each cross road or traffic light. I was using the Waze in cities abroad or even in my country and as I didn’t know the town was cumbersome to guess which lane should I take at every cross road / traffic light before getting to the actual position where I should take a turn and Waze was telling me which are the coreect lanes. It would be great in the city that Wase shows you at every…

Report dangerous area or attemp assault, theft, etc.
The same way we can report the traffic, it would be interesting to get to report if you saw in front of you or you was was assaulted, robbed or threatened. This way other people can avoid the way, the cops can see where there are bad guys acting and so on. If you're nearby your cell also would play a sound like gun fire. :0).

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

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.

"no right on red" avoidance -- avoiding choke points and "queue across intersection"
"No right on red" avoidance (mentioned in "choke buster") would avoid a route that includes arriving at a major road where traffic tends queue across the intersection during peak hours.
Waze could also detect and actively avoid or reroute detours around intersections where other fleet movement would indicate the intersection is not clearing traffic during each traffic light cycle.
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

The timing of voice alerts when taking turns and the option to add multiple stops.
It would be better if the voice alerts atleast 80-100 meters in advance of turns, so that it will be easier for the drivers to take their respective lanes accordingly, and if add self arranged/organised mutiple stops it will be much better for drivers and delivery partners

Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone
In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.
Add HOV matching!

Include applicable date range on TBR list
The new editing interface for time-based restrictions shows a list of restrictions and their Lane, Days, Time and Summary. Where multiple restrictions are necessary, it would make editing simpler if the applicable date range was shown on the list of restrictions to avoid having to open each in turn to locate the date range wanted.

Avoid roads during time of the day
Some roads aren't allowed to use during the day.
For example, no right turn between 3pm-7pm. Monday to Friday.
How to mark and make note of those roads?1 vote -

flag or block bad directions like impossible lefts or straights
A button to flag a bad intersection or left turn; Waze can then remember and avoid it next time.

Additional fields in Tollbooth hazard
It would be great to add some fields to Tollbooth hazard like "name", "price" and "payment methods", so that Waze can warn (on screen and TTS) about the next toll on the Wazer route and, at least, its name and price.

We need the road blocked button back. There is no way of signalling that a road is blocked and no way through.
There used to be a road blocked button. Now only lanes blocked. I have numerous examples of Waze showing a route through a blocked road. Alerts on road works or lanes blocked but still we a guided through where a road is blocked.

avoid streets with poor road surface (loopholes, etc.)
assign a score to each street (ask the drivers), calculate the average score for each route and include it in the choice. + an option to chose the best quality road.
but currently the choice of three routes does not work at all: just yesterday the service have permanently ignored my choice instead trying to drive me over the route it considered shorter, despite my other choice. No option to complaine to this on the site.

When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjus
When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjust the timing of the alert announcement to give more time to warn of what is ahead ?

"I'm in a parking garage" button to delay route recalculation and map out garages
An "I'm in a parking garage" button would allow you to:
1) Delay route recalculation until the car had actually started on the route (10 meters along actual street or so)
2) Map out existing parking garages for feedback to navigation
Because fiddling with your phone while driving is illegal in Austin, I prefer to set the route and be done with it before I start driving. Driving in circles around the garage means I typically have to do it afterward if I don't want recalculation to squelch my chosen route (non-toll vs toll for instance).

Plate Number also be encoded on Waze
CAR plate number should be encoded in waze, then waze will tell you which roads to avoid. Given the no coding scheme and the odd even scheme

Preferred Roads
Preferred Roads would allow a user to specify a list of roads they are more familiar with and prefer to take where possible, whether manually, or automatically through repetitive driving habits.
If a new route might save me 2 mins I don't care. I would still prefer to use my most familiar roads. If there is an accident and I should avoid to save 10 mins, then it could utilize less familiar roads.
Along the same lines, another collection of roads could be considered roads to avoid. This is different to avoiding Toll roads, as some toll roads…

Tell Waze you are pulling a trailer
Would like to tell Waze when I am pulling a trailer. Was going thru San Francisco on my way north. Waze sent me thru some alternate routes to avoid traffic, but the routes were fine for a car but problematic when pulling a trailer. Narrow alleys and straight up hills.
