permanent editor mood
I think you should create a level one editor mood that is permanent for inactive, former, or periodic editors. I enjoyed having the robot even after I stopped editing but because Waze changed the way those levels are granted and kept, I've been demoted for inactivity and stripped of the robot. So, Waze keeps the 5,000+ edits I did over the years but you gave me and any other editor the indignity of stripping us of a mood, something that costs them nothing. Rather than give access to the high-value moods to editors that have lost favor of Waze, why…

Obsolete or erroneous report canceleation
Toulouse, France : at regular time traffic is displayed as jumped but sometimes it is not so it would be a good idea to give client the possibility to say "traffic is light". Another example concern some events obsolete like a car stopped on road that is no more here ...
Thank you for your very good job !

integration with the ENGIE app with more travel statistics
Good afternoon . I have used the waze a long time already. . And I love it. I do not travel without it. And recently I acquired the ENGIE device. As described The waze and the engie were made by the same creator. So I wanted to leave a suggestion for Union of the two App. Or rather an integration. Giving statistics on which point the road the car spent more or less. Total trip time. How much time stopped and time in motion. average speed and maximum speed. Among others, it makes the waze more complete and working not…

Stop changing back to default route
When I choose a route different from the derault, it's for a reason. It's irritating or worse to find mid-trip that I'm back to the default route without even a notice or warning of some kind. How about sticking to the chosen route but notify the driver of a problem ahead?

New isn't better
I don't mind the update with the interface change but things like reporting a stopped car or accident on the "other side" was useful. Now you can only do that with pigs. The new bubble format takes longer than the old style to pop up.
I tell people about your app all the time but these changes are disappointing.2 votes -
Thanks/Not There
Instead of having the alert (example “Vehicle Stopped) and then the two options (Thanks / Not There)… you should have Thanks on top, the alert in the middle, and not there on the bottom. This will reduce accidental misreporting. We’re trying to drive and can’t stare at the screen. Help us help you. 😀

Stop prompting users to confirm that a 'stopped car' for instance is still there. This is a safety hazard while driving
Stop prompting users to confirm a road hazard (parked car side of the road for example, not exactly critical or urgent to any users - this is done for Waze' interests, in order to collect data at your clients expense)
I drive by myself. Interacting with the console touch screen to remove the obstruction is a safety hazard. As is the obstruction itself in the GUI. Ongoing source of frustration for years (a decade? Longtime user)
You tell users to be safe, not interact while driving. But your system forces users to interact while driving. This needs attention from your…

Apple car user experience
When you tap buttons to zoom out the map for example you can go back to navigation by tapping Done on the upper right corner but the Stop Button is placed at the same upper right corner (same color) so I frequently end up navigation by hitting Stop accidentally when I just wanted to resume navigation
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is already supported on CarPlay. Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

x Prediction Feature
A prediction feature. Example: Around 9:00 every Friday in the past 2 months traffic has been stopped on a stretch of road. Waze could put out an alert that says "Based on the past month's traffic use this route could be slow" even if no one has reported. Especially helpfully for being aware of authorities who tend to monitor traffic in the same locations.

Add a sound mode that just announces turns

Restart After Stop consistently direct me to turn the wrong way
For some reason, even though I was using waze and for instance, stopped at a gas station or other stop, when I turn waze back on and program my next destination, it consistently tells me to turn the wrong way (right when I need to go left, left when I need to go right, etc). Can't WAZE store my exact orientation and location at the end of each route and know exactly which way I am facing when I turned the car off, so that it will use that as a staring point the next time I select a destination…

Routing quality has plummeted after the Google acquisition - please get it back in shape!
(copied over from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=96033)
I am a passionate Waze user who has converted many friends to the app, and has become a top 4% reporting contributor (I don't participate at all in any other gamified apps or websites). But now my support is waning fast.
Ever since Google bought Waze, routing has progressively become worse and worse. I initially switched to Waze because Google Maps routing had become horrible - inefficient routes when there were obviously better ways to go, etc. Waze does awesomely creative things like telling me to get off the freeway at an exit then immediately…

Stop harassing users with unclosable popups
Some time recently you added a pop up message stating "obey the law" & you only have "ok" as a choice. I REFUSE TO HIT OK & ENTER A BINDING CONTEACT w/ WAZE WHERE YOU COULD PUNISH ME FOR SOMETHING you ALLEGE I DID OR DID NOT DO.
YOU ARE NOT A POLICE OR GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY.
YOU ARE A GPS NAVIGATION COMPANY.
MIND YOUR OWN **** BUSINESS WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO w/ ENFORCING LAWS.
AS IS I CANNOT USE THE APP ONCE THAR p.o.s. POP UP COMES UP. I WILL UNINSTALL IF NEEDBE.1 vote -

Stop playing an audio tone when we click on "still there" even with sound on.
With sound on, if you click "still there" for road hazards, you now play a tone. This tone interrupts the playback of bluetooth audio in the car and is very annoying. We WANT other sounds to play, so turning to "alerts only" or "sound off" is not a solution. We just want that little feedback sound gone.

Add function to calculate how many hours I want to travel before stopping.
Add a function to add a number of hours you wish to travel toward your destination so you can select a hotel in that city for the night.
Frequently traveling across country and trying to select a hotel on the fly can be a problem because I have no idea where I plan to stop. If I could just say I want to travel 6 or 8 hours it could suggest to me some possible towns or cities to stop in allowing me to do a quich search for a hotel in the area that is pet friendly for instance.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Trains blocking roads
I think it would be great if there could be a feature added for trains! We have trains in this area that will stop on the tracks for hours, and they end up blocking over 20 different roads and you end up having to drive about 15 roads down until you find an opening where the train ends. Currently there's no way to indicate a stopped train. I've tried using the blocked road feature but it doesn't work for this.
