Hide My Waze/Where to bars
Make an option to hide My Waze/Where to? bars by default.
No, contrary to what you PMs/Dev folks keep saying, these bars do NOT hide themselves.
This is a show stopper. I cannot use the app like this, nor can most of us.
Provide an option to start with those bars hidden and accessible by a swipe up from the bottom.

Switch map and directions on android devices to left or right
My car is a left hand drive vehicle however while using the app on an android headunit the directions are on the left side of the screen while the map is on the right hand side of the screen which is very hard to see. I suggest an option if your car is a left hand drive vehicle to swap these two and revert back if it is a right hand drive vehicle.

Report "Road closed": choose a certain segment of road ahead as closed
Marked my first closed road today when a truck was burning on the highway... it's really great that it's possible to notify others of road closures now!
But (there's always a but, isn't there?) it should be possible to mark a closure ahead, not right where I am. I marked it right when I left the highway, which only closed the little piece of highway between the off- and on-ramp. It was impossible to mark the highway after the on-ramp where the truck was burning as closed... :(
When I needed to mark a closed road on my old gps…

Add "Residential Street" as an Additional Road Type
There tend to be situations in which neighborhoods and suburban communities have systems of roads such that there are a few feeder roads that are intended to serve a network of smaller residential streets. In the current state of the map editor, it can be difficult to map such areas so that traffic is generally directed along the streets with higher speed limits and fewer driveways. Usage of the prioritizing functions and setting certain segments as private roads helps a bit to alleviate this problem. I am suggesting a new idea.

Verbally announce Exit Numbers
Verbally announce Exit numbers. Currently, the distance and direction is announced but you have to take you eyes off of the road and to your dash or phone display to see exactly which exit you should use when the exits are clustered (i.e.: 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B). At highway speeds, the less time looking at the display and more on the road is better.

Music
When listening to music thru Waze…. When you stop, the music window minimizes, and the ad pops up….. however, when you start driving again, the ad window minimizes…. But that’s it! Can we make the MUSIC WINDOW pop back up when we start moving again?

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.

More direct routes for emergency response services and fire hydrant locations.
Hi, I propose you look into a toggle option for navigation for emergency services organizations that completely ignores traffic regulations, stop signs traffic lights etc..
Emergency services need to take the fastest route while ignoring speed limits, traffic lights & signs.
It would be very helpful to have a navigation that made more direct routes that completely disregard these things and give you the absolute fastest route.
Also, it would be awesome if there could also be a toggle option to show fire hydrant icons / locations for firefighters.4 votes -
Feature to Avoid Specific Road
I really do love Waze! You guys are great! But can you PLEASE add an option to avoid specific roads (or steps of a route)? There’s a route that Waze directs me on my commute daily, both ways, that includes 2 roads that are extremely dangerous. I don’t mean difficult intersections or something like that. I mean regularly reported gun violence, car jackings at stop signs/lights, and gang activity. I literally had this map editing option back in the days of printing out mapquest directions… any kind of option would be wonderful! Thank you!

Improve the layout of the Ready to Go? popup in landscape
In landscape orientation, the Friends section crowds out the much more important Go button.
I have no interest in the Friends functionality, so the space devoted to the friends notice and the Share button are completely wasted. The Routes and Go buttons could really stand to be bigger, so I can hit them while the phone is in its dock.
Where I drive, I often need to know which direction Waze wants me to go immediately; there's no long driveway or road that I have to travel no matter what.

Please make WAZE directions come over car speakers again.
My WAZE gave me perfect voice commands on my 2013 Cadillac XTS speakers via my Samsung S4. Now will not come over speakers. Frustrating and dangerous.

Would you fix the problem of no voice directions on iPhones please.
Something must have happened recently to delete the voice/sound on my iPhone8 Plus. No voice directions for maybe 2 weeks. Please fix this.

Set up reminders before or after a journey
An option to set reminders before or after a journey. Eg, when you arrive 'Don't forget to turn the vehicle lights off'. Or when you start 'have you checked your fuel level'. My suggestion is that these are user set, with the option of selecting them before a drive

Discontinue the Still There question!
Please discontinue the Still There question! Not sure exactly when this started but I have been using Wayz daily for almost 10 years and only noticed this popping up recently. It's not necessary! And it's distracting and blocks the direction info. Who cares if we are there or not. Of course we are there! You have to be there to click "Not there!". Please please either stop this or at least make it optional. If it is optional, please let me know how to disable it. Thank you.

Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

find nearest branch
when I'm out and about, and want to find the nearest branch, of say, Citibank, I don't want to see "recent results" I want the nearest branch to where I am. Maybe even in the direction I'm going, rather than backtrack.

Directions at rotaries
It used to say take the third exit and now it says turn left. If you actually do that you would be going the wrong way on a one way street. The same thing applies to first and third exit. I first saw this in meridith nh. This isn't safe
