Quality of road surface w/ permanence
Allow users to report the quality of the road surface (beyond the occasion pothole / object in the road). A crowd sourced critique of how smooth/good the road surface is that has “permanence”. Like construction notices, when planning routes out of town, this could help drivers avoid bad sections of Interstate/ State routes. Add this category to reporting button so drivers can share their assessment, recheck every mile (“still a road quality of rough?) once a driver flags the road surface as poor / rough / bumpy / etc. Not to be alerted, but to be used in route planning…

Speed indicator
When the phone is in landscape mode, the speed indicator can be sometimes hidden by the lanes indicator when it pops up.
Is it possible to put the speed indicator on the foreground or move it when it is hidden under another object?

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Warning message "Alert sent successfully"
A user made the error alert 4 times and claimed that the app did not give you the return that the alert had been created.
This is a suggestion for improving the app. Should help avoid duplicate UR (or quadruplicate lol).6 votes -
Navigation for large slow and articulated vehicles
For motorhomes and towing a trailer, it’s important not to be sent down narrow lanes, or to be turned right at busy junctions.

Stop routing traffic inappropriately
I am contacting everyone at Waze right now. Waze is causing problems.
Highway 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz is notorious for its beach traffic. Waze directing traffic thought downtown Los Gatos and on to mountain side roads to avoid this.
STOP DOING THIS!
First of all this is causing horrendous gridlock in downtown Los Gatos. The town has put up signs telling Beach Traffic to stick to Highway 17. Drivers are ignoring this because Waze gives tells them they can cut thru Los Gatos. This is causing MASSIVE problems.
Second, DON'T direct people off Hwy 17 on to…

Bicycle roof racks warning
Add a warning when approaching places such as your home garage to avoid crashing bicycles on roof rack.
The problem is when you are transporting your bikes on your roof rack you sometimes forget they are there.
Maybe Waze users could add places where there is height limitations.

Switching between motor profile and car mode
Now the motorcycle mode is available, multiple cyclists report the need of quick switching between motor and car mode to avoid driving in the wrong mode. Suggestion: once the motor mode has been active, startup the client with a message "What will you be driving this trip?" Defaulting to the last mode used and giving alternatives "Motor, Car" and checkbox (forget I'm a motorbiker)
10 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Please can add an avoid ULEX tab where possible.

Send lane INTERDICTION alert through the vehicle's multimedia.
Hello, I believe that the following idea is an improvement and it is not a possible bug solution, because the functionality would have been tested before the release of the version.
When trying to send a lane interdiction alert through the vehicle's multimedia, the option does not appear, just using the cell phone without mirroring, I am using a cell phone with an IOS operating system, but the same behavior is seen with cell phones with an Android operating system.
Particularly, I don't walk with my cell phone in hand while driving, nor would I like to stop the vehicle…

More voice warning before freeway exits, regardless of speed
I noticed that the location of the voice instruction you hear before a freeway exit varies based on how fast you're going.
Around 100 km/h, you get the voice instruction 1.5 kilometres before your exit.
Around 80 km/h, you get the voice warning about 1 km before the exit.
Around 60 km/h, you get the warning just 300 metres before the exit.It's the last one that I think is a problem. Some drivers rely mostly on the voice instructions either because we don't have a phone stand or because of restrictive laws regarding phone use while driving. And if…

Wouldn't it be great to be able to exclude a freeway or particular road from your planned route?
I already summed it up in the title, you kids are the pros.. But I would love to have more options for routes and options to avoid a freeway or major thoroughfare.
Oh and just an irrelevant side note; that American woman's navigation voice, ug I can't listen to it. She sounds like your mean teacher from middle school- but the American guy is great.

Stop changing routes
This app is becoming frustrating to use. Every time I select ‘no toll,’ it automatically changes to toll as I’m driving and by then it’s already to late to go back onto no toll.

Voice guidance only sound option
Allow users to disable alert sounds, but keep guidance instructions.
I like voice guidance, especially when waze directs me to do something weird in an unfamiliar area to avoid traffic.
I find all alert notifications extremely annoying, and do not use the app for that purpose. It would be nice to be able to disable the annoying sounds and keep the useful ones turned on.

Better lane guidance
Better lane guidance would be a big help. I’m coming from Google Maps. I would get notified at more than a mile when to get into a lane before a turn and how far over I need to be. So 1 mile to 2 miles out would be good especially on the expressway when traveling at higher rates of speed. If the notification became more frequent the closer you got to An exit or to a turn that would be a help as well
