Option to turn off alerts for road construction
I can choose to toggle Road Constructions on or off for "Display On Map."
I would like to be able to toggle off alerts for Road Constructions, specifically, under "Alerts on Route."
Driving in Minnesota in the summer, it is a given that there will be road construction everywhere. It's nice to be able to see it on the map, and have the app use the information in its routing calculations, but I don't need an alert to tell me that it is there. It interrupts whatever else I am listening to, and it is not necessary to alert me…

Change the name of follow my drive menu category
When I want to share my drive, I have to go to menu - Send - Share my drive.
The menu category should be called "share drive" or something other than "send". Most people see it and say "send... send what?", and don't get it. A more descriptive name on that menu would help.

Add option to display Gas Stations (as clickable icons) on main map screen without having to use menu.
Add the option to display gas stations on the main map as clickable icons, without having to go through the several menus (i.e. menu > gas > list > map... and all the way back) to visualize surrounding stations and return to main navigation map.
Clicking the gas station icons on the main map view should allow users to "navigate" directly to the gas station and also update the fuel prices (if within range).
Showing gas stations on the main map view has two main benefits:
Updating gas prices to nearby stations becomes much easier.
The user will have the…

Report buttons simplified
Report menu needs to be easier to use, especially when driving. 4 options per screen only. Gas prices and other featured are nice but should not be on main report menu. Also sometimes authorities can be helpful. Reports of accidents could be sent to them.
Also how about report drunk or reckless drivers to authorities9 votesHolding or swiping the Reports button will bring up the 3 most used reports, making the process faster. You can also use voice reporting with Google Assistant.

Mandalorian theme
Can we get a mandalorian theme, with the armourer giving driving directions, when to go the correct way it’s confirmed with the armourers voice saying “this is the way” and maybe Kuiil saying “I have spoken”? also maybe Mandos ships as driver icon ?

Volume
Allow adjusting volume independent of WAZE announcements. Right now volume of WAZE announcements can only be adjusted ONLY while announcements are being made, which is extremely dangerous to do while driving.

Reporting road closures is a joke.
No matter how much you tap all over the screen you can't report a road closure. Also can't do it on the run and map is too convoluted. You should provide a comment box to type in or say the name of the road and nearest cross street where closure is. And you can do it at any time even after you stop driving or reach your destination. The road closure will still be closed.

way to tell waze I'm in the other parallel road
Sometimes waze tells me to enter the highway when it has heavy traffic and the service road I am is much faster. Then I disobey him, but it thinks I'm in the highway and keeps collection wrong data.
I think we you could have an option that when enabled and waze can't be sure in which of 2 parallel roads I am, I could tell him he got it wrong.
It must be a single touch in the screen to alternate between the roads, because I would be driving when it happens.
This way I would generate better data for…

Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

Type of Route Options Preference settings
I frequently drive a route that gives me the option of taking a toll road or driving on the non-toll route or taking streets - but when I look at the routes available to me, I am not able to compare the time savings of taking the toll road vs the non toll version of the road. I am only able to see toll road, or a street option, or an alternate freeway option. I would really like to be able to see the difference in commute time if I jump in the HOT lane vs not paying toll and…

Google Assistant Voice Navigation Problem
Dear Waze Team.
Since yesterday (seems like after Google Assistant update) I cannot use voice commands via Google Assistant in Waze anymore.
This cause a problem while driving as it is dangerous to try and add potholes etc. manually while driving.
When having Waze open and I want to navigate with commands through Google Assistant - just nothing happen or Google Maps open.
There is NO Google Assistant option to choose in my Waze app in Waze > Settings > Voice & Sounds?
PLEASE ADVISE OR HELP.
Thank you so kindly.

Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Esteemed actor, musician, performer, and artist, Matt Berry, would make a stupendous addition to the Waze program and community. With a confident, sultry, and seductive presence, Matt Berry would guide thousands of drivers to their destinations in the comfort of his soothing, tenor voice.

Hungary toll
In Hungary you can have vignette (sticker) for highway for each county separately for the whole year or you can have a vignette for all of the Hungarian highway (the first one is cheaper if you just drive only in some countys). So, it could be very helpful if you could choose which county do you have vignette (not only the possibility to avoid toll) and the program could calculate the trip (where you can use the highway and where no). Thanks in advance. Gy

“See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”
Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to…2 votes -
Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!
Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...
But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the roads…

Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.
