Commercial routing
Commercial Route option; helps avoid roads and highways that either limit by weight or commercial vehicles in general.
I utilize a commercial vehicle mainly by label in Connecticut and they restrict routes for these vehicles. Waze doesn’t know that and impossible to navigate around

Making a version for cyclists/horses
Making a versions whereby a cyclist, motorcyclist, horse rider or even pedestrian can state they are on the road.
Any one of these individuals could maybe toggle a switch to say they are undertaking an activity on a road other than driving a vehicle. This would be hugely advantageous for people traversing country roads especially.
The selection of users would/could be great, and the feature would reduce deaths and accidents immeasurably world wide.
The alert could obviously include a statement that a ‘horse rider’ is ahead along with a neigh or something for fun or to clarify. The same…

Really great app! Thank you guys for doing such good job!
But nevertheless there are some features that could be done better:
1. App freezes sometimes after start then there is no connection with GSM network.
2. Then there are numerous alerts on the same spot, only nearest is announced. E.g. among "police", "accident on the road" and "vehicle on the shoulder" happend in the same area, only "vehicle on the shoulder" will be announced, meanwhile "police" is more important, because it is also used for mobile radars. It would be great, if "police" alert had priority over others alerts.
3. Mobile radars or LIDARs. Then I see one…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

[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.

NHVR alert
The national heavy vehicle regulator (NHVR) is Australia's independent regulator for heavy vehicles (over 4.5 tonnes) and is responsible for enforcing the Heavy Vehicle National Law. In other words they are an absolute pain in the ****. NHVR can set up on weigh bridges and/or “pads” and float around rural towns pulling over anyone they please.
At the moment the only way of knowing NHVR are around or set up is through communicating with other truckies on the rd or Facebook pages.
I know there is already an alert on Waze for police but I believe having an alert…1 vote -

Show Forward and Reverse Route Options with Distances on Two-Way Roads
I would like to suggest a feature that could enhance user experience when recalculating routes on two-way streets. The idea is that, upon initiating or redefining a route while the vehicle is stationary on such roads, the app would display indicators both ahead and behind the vehicle. These indicators would show the distance and estimated time for both directions, allowing the driver to choose the most efficient route. For example, if proceeding forward results in a 3.5 km journey and turning around leads to a 2.8 km route, the user could opt for the shorter and quicker alternative.
I…

Split-screen view in CarPlay
On a long trip, it’s nice to see how far along you are on the full route - but there’s not a lot of need for turn-by-turn on the highway. Please make a view that uses some of the large available space in CarPlay mode to show the “route overview” map next to the turn-by-turn.

Map Screen Navigation/Zoom for non-touchscreen
So, some vehicle manufacturers use a touch screen, and others use rotary knobs or similar for screen navigation. Android Auto forced manufacturers to choose one or the other in the event that they have the capability of both.
The problem encountered on Waze is that for non-touch screen versions, there is a loss of major functionality. One of which is the ability to change the zoom level or move the focus on the map while moving. There are often times where you will see a traffic jam, or something similar, and it is helpful to change the zoom or focus…

Southpaw mode for UI layout
Have a toggle to mirror the layout of buttons on the screen in CarPlay. My vehicle has a wide display which puts the hazard button far away. In fact the buttons I use the most are the furthest from me. Having a way to flip or even pick where UI elements sit would be great.
