Incorporate BMW/MINI Connected into Waze.
I'm not suggesting that the map show on the screen, just the ability to report events and respond to questions such as traffic slowdowns. Ok, and maybe start nav...
Much safer than having to look down at the phone.

Plot recently driven roads
It would be great to have an option to mark roads recently driven by other wazers. This would increase the confidence that it's clear from traps, traffic jams etc.

Eco mode
How about an Eco mode that would give you a warning beep if you accelerate or decelerate too fast or drive over the posted speed limit? Of course, the driving speed (for traffic) would need adjusted (because if you're driving 10 under the speed limit for MPG reasons that doesn't mean that there's traffic issues).

Fix the bug where reporting traffic for instance while deviating from a turn by turn route places the reported event on the route not on the path actually being followed (ie current location)

Audio alerts without voice guidance
For routine drives (to and from work), I don't want voice guidance, but I would still like to get audio alerts for traffic issues, etc. There should be an option to enable voice alerts without voice guidance.

have an alert when waze is directing you into a high crime area
have an audible alert or color code when waze is directing you into a high crime area. Often locals avoid those areas and they will therefore have less traffic. But not always a good idea to go into those areas especially at night.

Use more straight roads
Very often instead of travelling on a straight road, waze often turn into small roads and later exit on to the same road further down in order to save a minute or two. What actually happen is , the time save is negligible, considering the difficulty in exiting the side road onto the main road. Sometimes it take considerable time and danger doing that, especially if you are turning right. It would be advisable to travel straight, unless it is a standstill massive jam. I have been using maze on Melbourne roads and it always try to use smaller roads…
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

Repetitive Alerts Should be Summarized
Recently, I was using Waze on Northbound I-280 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The traffic was pretty bad. Waze is pretty popular around here and folks were reporting the bad traffic. So much so in fact that you could barely see the map. It seems to me that if you have more than two or three people basically reporting the same thing (in this case stopped traffic) you can simply summarize and say "multiple bad traffic reports" or some such. The current extremely cluttered screen is basically useless.
In this case, I was using an iPhone, but…

Navigation modes for familiar routes
During my long daily commute I listen to audiobooks and I have to turn off the Waze auto navigation (I'm just monitoring traffic & reporting police). If there is heavy traffic or an accident, I then have turn the navigation back on. It would be nice if the familiar routes were recognized and navigation only appeared if there is an event ahead. I don't need navigation for familiar routes unless there is an event that will delay my trip, which I think should be the idea behind learning familiar routes.

Something is wrong recently. Waze giving bad routes and lead me right into a 45 min traffic jam!
In the past few months, I have noticed considerable deterioration of the service. I have been using Google more often because it has been giving me better routes. I love Waze and went back to it this morning. Lead me right into a 45 min traffic jam and never even notified me. Didn't catch it at all. And it stopped giving all route options. So sad :(

Please add an immigration and customs enforcement Checkpoint
Could you please add an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Checkpoint item into a future version of waze? These are not police items, but can slow traffic down, so knowing in advance where they are would be COOL!

Allow to add speed cameras directly in the map editor and/or change their type (speed/light)
Currently you cannot add a speed camera without reporting it on the spot with your app and then go approve it in the map editor.. This slows down the process if you are in the editor and see a camera is missing and don't want to drive there to add it.
Changing the type of existing ones could help correct mistakes when people report a wrong type of camera.7 votes -
Allow entering destinations while driving.
Passengers should be able to use the app while the car is on the road, same for drivers trying to change destinations during a red light.

UK:LON - When driving at night waze should have a feature to avoid side road as traffic levels tend to be low. Therefore, when waze is suggesting side roads at night the journey time tends to longer plus London side roads have too many speed pumbs, which is not good for a driver’s back.
