Sound Alert in LOCKED phone
I think Waze could enable an option to be able to keep warning (Radar, Hazards, Accident, Police, Heavy Traffic, etc) even when phone is LOCKED. When I lock my Android 4.3.1 it doesn't alert anything.
6 votesGreat news! This is now available in Waze for Android OS. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Waze based stand alone GPS unit
My cell phone is WAY too distracting to me. I know I should leave it set to waze only, but all the notifications distract me. I really need a stand alone unit that only does Waze so that I can leave my phone in the back and not touch it while I am driving. It looks like Garmin has traffic updates, but I would rather have Waze.

Truck Routes / Bike Routes
Add a commercial truck routes mode for truck drivers on the app, a lot of trailer tractor drivers out there struggling with traffic and fines bc of not knowing which routes are best for them on each new city they go to. PLEASE HAVE THIS IN CONSIDERATION ALONG WITH BIKE ROUTES TOO.

Android auto - Traffic bar - Traject controle - Traction control on the highway
Hi,
I miss the traction control on the highway, Traject controle in Dutch, before you enter it, it shows it but doesn't show the bar on the left side such as like on the phone.
I miss the left bar where the start is of the traject controle.
It's also a missed feature on Apple-Carplay3 votes -
Integrate with cobra iRadar
Cobra has a radar detector that works with android and iphone. They upload/download radar locations for their own community. There may be an opportunity for the two companies to work together, and integrate with each other. Imagine: turn by turn nav, automatic traffic condition updates, user reported feedback of accidents and automatic reports of police radar points all in one cohesive application.

For example:
“at the next light turn __”
“go past this light and at the next one turn __”i like waze for the reports, but i go back to apple maps when im in a city i don’t know

Colour coded routes - showing traffic on route
Google Maps shows green, amber and red, so at a glance, its easy to see if there are issues on the route at any point along it. This is missing from Waze and would be a great addition, as, without it, you never quite know if you are heading towards issues.

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.

Tell Waze you are pulling a trailer
Would like to tell Waze when I am pulling a trailer. Was going thru San Francisco on my way north. Waze sent me thru some alternate routes to avoid traffic, but the routes were fine for a car but problematic when pulling a trailer. Narrow alleys and straight up hills.

Do not turn our neighborhood into a motorway
Do not turn our neighborhood into a motorway: no extra traffic during the traffic jam on the ring around Diest and keep to the 30 km/h zone.

Hi, it would be fine if I could decide when waze should come with alternative route. Now if there is traffic jam it comes with alternativ
Hi, it would be fine if I could decide when waze should come with alternative route.
Now if there is traffic jam it comes with alternative even if it would 5 minutes difference. A setting in which I define when to calculate an alternative route, like time to > 30min, would great.
Kind regards

Disable auto route to suggested destination
Often when I start my day, I'm not heading directly to the office. However, even after I enter a destination, I'll be prompted to navigate to "work". It will switch my destination without my input or any notification. Please turn off auto select for that navigation option. It's frustrating to think that Waze is taking me a traffic free route to find out it's navigating me to the wrong destination.

Map
It is too hard to see the traffic delays, speed of the tragic on particular roads, what kind of hazard is being reported. The map before this was very user friendly and it was super easy to glance at the map and decide which areas/roads to avoid. Now I have to really analyze the map and bring the map into zoom so much that the road names are no longer listed. I now check the other apps to glance over the traffic and rely less on Waze

New road segment for yields
Currently the routing algorithm assigns a penalty where ever a junction is located in the editor. I believe no penalty should be assigned to a junction with a connecting yield segment, as traffic typically isn't slowed down at these junctions. I believe that creating a new yield road type segment would improve routing accuracy. I've seen many URs that could have been prevented if such a segment already existed. A junction with signal lights should not be treated the same as a junction with a yield.

Give me an email to send complaints to
I just deleted my waze app because it keeps sending me into accidents that have caused traffic build ups for hours. It completely undermines the entire point of this app. I have no way of letting waze know about these failures, atleast none I could easily find. I'm switching back to google maps
