You have ability to mark potholes... that's great but I would like to see the ability to mark a"depression"
You have ability to mark potholes... that's great but I would like to see the ability to mark a"depression" which is not quite a pothole but a place where road has sunk significantly and poses a danger to vehicle.

Ability to turn off "tool bars". ie. Carpool, My Waze, and Search bars
We need a way to turn off these tool bars if not being used.
They make this app mostly unusable, especially in landscape orientation, as they take up a large part of the screen.
I don't carpool, i dont need the search bar on when I'm driving. Same for My Waze.
Just a small button to access this would be fine.
Please make a way to turn these off.2 votesThanks for your suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation.

Favourite
During driving it we see some incidents and need to report it takes several clicks. Would be helpful to drivers if we have some favourites to minimize the touching of screens. Allow the drivers to save their common incidents. Like myself the 5 most commons are
- police
- pot hole
- hazard vehicle on the side
- accident
- constructionI can then easily click one of the 5 while driving

Use Voice Commands to log Reports with Waze on CarPlay and Android Auto
While Waze allows users to use voice via their phones to log Reports, it does not support Voice to log Reports for users of Car Play and Android Auto. The fact that these users have to use the screen and potentially take their eyes off the road to navigate menus to log a report is quite dangerous. Please help vote this up, as more vehicles are now being equipped with Car Play and Android Auto. Thank you!

Add the local Bus Routes
Instead of only having a driving section you could make it to where we can navigate the local busses in our areas such as in Louisville ** we have the TARC for people who don’t have a car or vehicle.

CarPlay vertical does not show car on the screen
I have a portrait mode CarPlay screen and when Waze is full screen, my vehicle not on the screen. When I go to the CarPlay dock screen, Waze is the top half of the screen and it works fine.

Traffic control button
It would be nice to have a button to mark where there are traffic controls, but not by the police. Often there are vehicle control done by the government. Such a warning button to mark in the map would be nice.

while travelling, what we need is real time alerts on our mobile and also on FM radio
I have 2 ideas to improve WAZE
While travelling, the passenger vehicle driver needs alerts on his/her mobile and also on FM radio, This can be made possible by tapping the mobile numbers of the drives when they start travelling. As soon the vehicle engine is started, via blue tooth the driver mobile numbers should get integrated with the passenger vehicle GPS system. This will enable drivers to get automatic alerts w.r.t to traffic jams, accidents etc. The radius of the alerts should be sent to vehicles which are in the radius of 1-2 miles. Km as this will…

Delete or minimize the "vehicle on shoulder" notice. It is an extreme interference with the actual use of Waze for navigation!
The notice actually blocs navigation instructions and exit numbers when in operation. The duration of the notice is far too long. A 2 second announcement would be sufficient. MOST IMPORTANTLY IT IS UNSAFE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO "CLOSE" THE NOTICE OR TO STRIKE THE "THANKS" BAR WHEN NO THANKS ARE NEEDED. WHY DOES WAZE NEED A THANK YOU FOR A USELESS SCREEN BLOCKING NOTICE.
Waze is a good APP which has just been made DANGEROUS BY ASKING A DRIVER TO "CLOSE" THE NOTICE OR SAY "THANKS".
Will it take a negligence lawsuit to bring Google to…

Report police driving in the same direction 🚨
Today it's possible to report police driving in the opposite direction, but it would be good to also be able to report if they're driving in the same direction as yourself to be able to warn drivers ahead of you. Or maybe it should be all rescue vehicles, so people can give a clear lane for police, ambulances and fire trucks

Feature Proposal: "I Need help"
Dear Waze Team,
I propose adding a sub-feature to the "Vehicle on Shoulder" report. When a driver is stuck, they could select a "Request Help" toggle and specify their need (e.g., Flat Tire, Jump-start, Coolant/Water, or Out of Fuel).
This will allow fellow drivers to know whether a vehicle requires assistance and if they are in a position to help. This idea offers two benefits:Enhanced mutual aid: It empowers the community to support one another more effectively on the road.
Risk mitigation: It prevents drivers from taking the unnecessary risk of stopping on the shoulder when they lack…

Ability for area managers to add road closures and long-lasting hazards in areas they manage
Instead of having to rely on the high level requirement in certain countries, area managers should be able to add road closures and long-lasting hazard notices on the map in the areas they manage. Currently we have to rely on Country Managers who are already busy and it creates unnecessary work for us having to create map multiple map views and copy paste links every few weeks when we could just do it ourselves. Especially during large constructions, like currently our city is constructing a tramway and roads all around the city are either completely closed or traffic flow is…

Since I drive alone frequently and use Waze almost exclusively, I would love to voice report any hazard, vehicle, or accident
I’d like to say “Waze report debris on right (or left) side of road.” As an example.

Please add Cortana voice directions!!
It would fantastic adding Cortana directions: “I’m detecting a large number of Covenant forces moving towards your position..., take left”
“That’s it, Chief, keep going!”... "5 minutes to extraction point, Chief".2 votes -
I select avoid freeways and Waze still takes me the quickest. I would like to use the back roads, scenic routes. I’m not in a hurry.
Back roads/scenic routes. Not everyone enjoys driving on the freeway/highway. I do use interstates but often want to use the back roads/scenic routes. Especially if I’m not on a time schedule and or in my classic vehicle.

Important! For safety - Add an option to stay away from unsealed roads
I used Waze when driving back home this weekend, for a 400km journey. There were traffic jams all along the main routes. Waze saved me an hour by routing me around the jams, but.....
I had two little kids in a two wheel drive car and Waze took me through roads better suited for four wheel drive vehicles - unsealed, dirt roads with no cellphone reception. The roads got bad until I was too far in and turning around wasn't even an option because it was too narrow.
This is a matter of safety. Some cars cannot handle unsealed…

Don't consider a trip as finished when we can't park in front of the destination's adress
Please, prevent the application from considering a trip as finished when you pass in front of the exact destination's address because in a city it is not possible to park systematically in front of the destination address (those who conceived this application must live in countryside!). The app should wait a second or two after if the targeted address is behind us and so, if our vehicle is still moving then calculate a new route to the destination... Ideally, the application should suggest the location of a nearby parking and update the path to finish on foot ...
