Report single lane stopped traffic on motorway
Sometimes there is a build-up of traffic in lane 1 of the motorway when approaching a junction, due to issues off of the motorway - causing cars to slam on their brakes and sometimes even causing accidents - while lanes 2 and 3 remain free-flowing.
Please allow a way of reporting single lane stopped traffic, or "exit-lane spillover" traffic (not sure how it should be worded).

Help Me!!! button
Deniss from forum suggested this idea: Waze should have Help Me Button, so a Wazer with car trouble can set his icon as needing assistance and another Wazer can see a fellow in trouble on map and help him out.

Option to toggle turn on/off fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn
I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it, and the fade function is nice, but I like to use the waze with cellphone soundspeaker's instead of BT and, even so, my music through BT have this terrible fade-off on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn speak.
Please, consider an option to disble that, so we have a choise to use or not the fade-of on music.
Thanks!

keep directions on the screen
Using Waze is for directions of not knowing where to go so I think you need to go back to the small alerts on the screen instead of taking up the directions spot and having them disappear. It’s very frustrating trying to find your way through a city you’ve never driven in before when the directions keep disappearing to alert you that there’s a car on the side of the road.

I would like to know when a bicycle or a motorbike is at a close distance from me, treated as a hazard
When I ride my bike I would like to let Waze know that I am a hazard to other drivers. Other drivers would be warned when I am close to them. Alternatively, as a car driver, I would like to be able to activate a mode that warns me about bicycles and motorcycles. I think this idea would reduce the number of accidents involving bicycles and motorbikes. This can be extended to other vehicles on the road like tractors, oversized transport vehicles...

Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

Turns list collapses (broken UI) after reconnecting Car Play
When Car Play is connected, the screen on the iPhone shows the Turns list, it works well if I don't unplug my iPhone (I'm using wired Car Play). Once iPhone is unplugged and then replugged, there's a high chance to see a collapsed Turns list on the iPhone screen. The UI is totally broken, I have to relaunch Waze to fix it, sometimes it's impossible and dangerous while driving. The problem has been there for years, and it happens in all my cars no matter which brand the car is. I don't think your team has ever noticed it, so…

Show speed limit ahead (e.g. 300 meters ahead) for economic driving
In order to allow economic driving one should be informed that a changing speed limit will come up long enough to be able to save fuel and save the environment. When there is a hint that you have to lower speed like 300 meters in advance you can just stop pushing gas, so car will just sail.

Allow to rename "Home/Work" labels or at least give option to hide the "Home/Work" icons displayed on the maps
Allowing to rename the Home/Work labels or give the option to not show the Home/Work icons on the maps would be a really useful option to help wazers keep their personal information private. For example I often have work collegues and clients in my car and whenever I drive near my home it's clearly labeled on the map exactly where I live. I do not want everyone at work and clients knowing my home address.. Whenever I have to drive with collegues/clients in my car, I switch to using the iOS Maps app so no one will see my address,…

Support ODB bluetooth dongles
Allow the use of an ODB bluetooth dongle to get a number of improvements. These dongles are quite cheap and provide a wealth of extra data. Possible uses:
[ Better dead reckoning using vehicle speed ]
Using the actual vehicle speed combined with compass, accelerometer and map matching it should be possible to have accurate positioning in tunnels/urban canyons. TomTom does this and is able to do near-perfect positioning with only one GPS datapoint every 30 minutes.[ Monitor fuel usage ]
Things like planning a gas stop could be automated. When the tank gets below a certain…31 votes -
Support for 10.25 android car screens
The app does not support the ultra wide screen. The bottom line of buttons are hugely covered due to not fitting on screen. There needs to be a smaller text option or a different layout. Can this be done?

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I love the app…

What’s the Biggest Regret You’ve Had After Buying a Car?
Hey everyone,
We all know the thrill of finally driving off with a new car. That fresh smell, the shiny dashboard, and the excitement of showing it off to friends and family. But sometimes, the excitement fades, and reality hits. Have you ever bought a car and immediately thought, “Was this really the right choice?”
I wanted to open up a discussion about the biggest regrets we’ve had after buying a car. Let’s share our experiences, learn from each other, and maybe help someone avoid the same mistakes.

Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign.
Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign when using with an Android Auto car or stereo unit. Currently, it shows both or only the speedometer with the speed limit sign too small to see easily. When I first start up and I'm parked on a street that has a speed limit, the sign is nice and big. Once moving though, the speedometer shows up and the limit sign shrinks down to where it's hard to see.
