2 Ideas!
Hi, ive got two ideas: 1. When starting a new ride from a parking car, Waze does not know which direction the vehicle is facing. And because of Murphy's rules, most of the time it will plan the opposite route :) My suggestion is: before starting navigation I will have the option to calibarate the direction my vehicle facing (button that using the internal compass) . and now that Waze can understand that im facing east for example it can plan the right route. 2. adding an option so Waze know im driving a motorcycle so it can plane the route without considering traffic like a car. u r great, Thanks!

As for the idea with adjusting car facing direction, it is under consideration.

Sir David Attenborough's voice
I find Sir David Attenborough's voice on the TV very calming. It's like being read a fairy tale to. I would love to hear him in my Waze. No more road rage

Ability to report road closure with voice command
I would like to be able to report road closures without having to touch the phone since I always come across them unexpectedly and never have time to enter the report manually.
After straying from Waze's route I would like to be able to initiate a voice command and say "road closure" and have Waze take that to mean that I strayed from it's route because of a road closure at the point where I left the route.

Comments on PURs
It would be nice to have a comment section on a PUR, especially for pictures. It would allow the editors to give a reason why the picture or update is being rejected. So maybe the next time they would try to take a better picture that did not include, faces, license plates, etc. I think this would help the community be more aware of what we as editors can accept. I think being able to tell them the reasons instead of just rejecting it would help more, due to the fact users my be confused or upset that their pictures or updates never get published.

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it and also see if his / her car has already passed you...
Funny and interesting function, isn't it?!
I hope you'll like this suggestion / enhancement and vote for it!

Temporary private roads <-> RTC
Concerning roadworks, city nowadays more and more define areas around the closed roads as temporary private roads to route traffic around the closed areas. Now we have no there solution but to close those roads also, but this results in many URs stating that the roads are not closed for the inhabitants or customers of the businesses located there. Would it be possible to create a sort of RTP (Realtime Private road) like the closures we have now?

Remove the bell or “ding” noise for hazards and replace with verbal, spoken warnings
Spoken warnings are the old behavior for the app and they need to be replaced. Example - “Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead.” Instead, there’s now nothing but a nondescript “ding.” The ding is jarring, and provides no useful information without me looking at my phone. I need as much information possible conveyed verbally because I am not always in the position to look at my phone. I’m baffled this functionality was removed.

Please allow vehicle selection for large vehicles
Please allow configuration of routes that are suitable for large vehicles and campers. We have a toy hauler that is 40ft long so with our dually and trailer we’re over 50ft long and very tall like at least 12ft tall. We use Waze for all our navigation. For our recent trip Waze has taken us in very tight spots such as low lines and very narrow roads. It’s been awful for our vacation trip. Please fix

Allow users to set routing preferences based on factors other than journey time
Waze comes up with some extraordinary routes to minimise journey time, but the best route is a combination of several factors. How about allowing users to set preferences for other factors such as shorter distance, minimising turns, best fuel consumption etc.

Option to always notify speed cameras
The idea is to add an option to notify when there is a speed camera either always or only when you are speeding (which is the default currently). Some times you can speedup a bit near the camera and you will get the ticket.
With this option you will know the location of all the speed cameras and will be able to decide whether to accelerate or not depending if there is or not a camera.33 votes -

keep directions on the screen
Using Waze is for directions of not knowing where to go so I think you need to go back to the small alerts on the screen instead of taking up the directions spot and having them disappear. It’s very frustrating trying to find your way through a city you’ve never driven in before when the directions keep disappearing to alert you that there’s a car on the side of the road.

Saved Places
"Saved Places" custom sort fails to keep custom sorting. Very frustrating. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
