"Narrowed lanes" Danger
Hi,
I do more than 110km a day,
Very often, you'll encounter some situation where one lane is temporarily removed. Typically in Waze, Users would declare "Roadworks", but I think it's too general to really anticipate this specific situation.
I think it would be very interesting, both in terms of safety and information, to have the possibility to declare a "Narrowed lanes" danger, particulary because sometimes it is really abruptly becoming narrowed and the sole declaration "Roadworks" is not sufficient enough as it is very often used for works being done on the side of the road. It would allow …5 votes -
Add a cache option
I see a lot more than I can report, then constantly have reports that don't go thru. Please make a cache, so those reports can go thru. Also, make your app more compatible with wifi. I can't avoid the fact that xfinity is wherever I drive.

Erase from your driving map Calcada do Calvario street, Amarante, Portugal
When driving in Amarante, Portugal, I received from WAZE one of the worst suggestion to drive through Calcada do Calvario street. The street is so bad, with very big stones as pavement and have parts with very high slope, has many holes in the pavement and after a short rain, very slippery. This street is very dangerous and I recommend to erase this street from your driving maps.

Maximum speedlimit
One function I really miss is being able to set the maximum speed I drive in. In Sweden, the maximum permitted speed is 80 km/h with a caravan, my eta today is quite misleading as it is based on the current speed limit on the road. So a function where I can set the maximum allowed speed myself would be really good.

Select initial driving direction
I wanted to suggest this idea but found it was suggested already six years ago but for some reason, this simple but important feature has not yet been implemented.
So I’m quoting the original request someone sent in 2018:Very often Waze starts up navigation facing the wrong driving direction. The direction is rectified as the vehicle starts moving, but it can be too late for the initial turn.
Please add the ability to switch driving direction when navigation starts, via a button.

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.4 votes -
recycling Feature
Dear Waze, I am a sixth grader at Spring Creek Elementary in Dallas, Texas. My robotics team and I are working on our project for the First Lego League City Shaper season. The goal of the project this season is to somehow improve our city. We are acknowledging that the world is having a hard time recycling. Would you help our cause and consider adding a special feature on Waze or Google Maps that shows where recycling bins owned by stores and other buildings that have signed up to have their recycling bin available to the public. Recycling is important since…

Rid the Rage
Make a feature for road rage mode. If I go to ‘Road rage mode’, the app adds in lead time on planned drives (extra 5 minutes for 10 miles or less, 10 minutes for 11-30 miles, etc..)
-Maybe avoids heavy traffic areas even if drive is longer.
-If user shows erratic increase in speed, excessive speeding, swerving, etc.. Have voiceover give safe driving or anger management techniques to lower road rage.
-Give safe driving or anger management tips periodically on drive.I have road rage and millions of other drivers do as well. I think this feature…

If you could add Natural Gas to the fuel type filters that would be awesome!
Would be great to add CNG and LNG to the fuel type filter for those of us driving CNG VEHICLES.

Route planning for group pleasure drives
I have been using waze for a long time now but recently had to install G maps for a planned group drive round the Peak District. Lucky I had my hand held radio as maps was totally useless, but does let a multi stop planned route be shared with everyone, even if I found it unusable.
Can waze please add this feature so the drivers who drive for the fun and enjoyment with others can do so simply and easily? Preferred route selection stop to stop that's entered by the creator and fixed for client?
Could even add the…

Heads up Display (HUD)
make an heads up display icon so that the user can place it on their dash and the reflection will show up on the windshield.. for night time driving whee it is safer to stare closer to the road versus looking down...other apps use this idea but they dont have the GPS ability..it will set waze apart from all other GPS systems..and make it look extra cool!

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

Stop navigating to where you suggested instead of the address I'm explicitly choosing
This drives me crazy: That little countdown timer around the suggested destination keeps counting down even as I go and search or choose a favorite or planned drive or whatever. Often, even after I make my choice, the timer finishes and supersedes my choice. Sometimes it takes a while for me to notice that Waze is sending me to the wrong place!

Prevent Constant Navigation pop-up while using other CarPlay apps.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and whilst the car is in motion the CarPlay touchscreen is disabled and I interact with the interface using a wheel and buttons to move the focus and activate controls.
When using Waze to navigate and switching to music or Spotify or another app Waze will pop up notifications for alerts or upcoming navigation events.
When forced to use the wheel to control the interface this pop up is extremely annoying and interferes with controlling the CarPlay interface. It is so intrusive that I will be navigating songs etc and when I click to activate…
