Construction notification
Construction alerts are far too annoying. This has been mentioned often by users here. The issue is that they are constantly alerting, making it hard to focus on driving when you have to keep clearing them. Often I will get up to 10 alerts for the same construction zone. This is ridiculous and not helpful.
One solution would be to have construction zones auto populate rather than by users. I know this is done with other apps. The state DOT department ms provide regular notifications of construction in their state. These could be uploaded. Alternatively, just allow one notification per…

Voice notification for abrupt stop of wazer in front of you
Often you can't tell if the car in front is stopping or just slowing down, so as we have speedometer, waze could notify wazers behind that it's car speed got from say 100km/h to 20km/h rapidly. This way wazers behind have more caution and can start to brake earlier. Should be optional voice notification and only valid for all wazers 100/300 meters behind (affected by your car's speed)

redlight calculation
Can you calculate red lights by using current users data when they stop and start?
When I drive home you then could give me an estimation on the speed to keep to hit green all the way or to hit green at the right time or wait the least amount of time at a red light.Some lights change every minute and others at different intervals but could you figure this out using gps data (speed etc.)?

Speedometer disappears on Android alAuto
Speedometer and speed limit disappears randomly on Android Auto.
Sometimes the problem can be solved by stopping, and changing zoom level by buttons that appear in place of the speedometer. This is not a GPS issue, as navigation works fine at the same time.
Seems to be triggered by Android Auto started after Waze, or Android Auto restarted when Waze is running (head unit restarts when I start the engine). But I'm not 100% sure.

Allow selecting destinations by pointing while connected to Android auto
Currently, when connected to Android Auto, you cannot select a point on map and navigate to it. You have to enter the adres of that location while stopped or through voice.

Stop telling drivers to come the wrong way up a one way
Waze should stop directing drivers to come the wrong way up the one way street that I live on. The street is Talbert Terr SE. Washington D.C, 20020. Drivers should not turn left onto it from Bowen Rd or drive straight onto it from Howard Rd.

Request cancelled webpage with more info
On follow my drive, if you type in the URL incorrectly, or if the other person turned off waze, you get a "Request Cancelled" message on the web.
I have an IT background, so I understand the meaning behind "Request cancelled". But most people I know have absolutely no idea what that means.
The page should say a bit more, in layman's terms. Kind of like a 404 page. For example:
Sorry, this user's drive is not currently viewable. This could be because of several reasons:
Check your URL. Maybe you mistyped it?
The user is not connected to Waze…

Add sunset/darkenss time
A small indication on the map saying for example "39 min to darkness" or similar would be great for many folks who hate to drive in the dark or have various issues with the eyes, or the headlights and need to know how long they can drive before they need to stop.
Also helpful in areas with wildlife / reindeers where driving in the dark poses significant danger to people who are not familiar with the area and not prepared to drive in the dark there.2 votes -
Take Rowena Ave. in Los Angeles off your suggested routes.
This street was never intended to be a major thoroughfare. The traffic is non-stop on this residential street and there are no lights to control the amount of traffic that has accumulated.

Tap stop alerts to view on map
Would be nice if the on route alerts that show traffic slow down, accidents were tappable so we should see where on our route they are. "19 miles ahead" doesn't really help especially if the initial route already is a deviation.

Find a way to avoid spurious hazard reporting of cars stopped on the shoulder when parked safely and posing no risk to drivers
It seems I'm many times a week on freeway journeys seeing situations where a hazard alert will come up for a car stopped when the car in question is safely parked (usually with no occupant outside or in proximity) 4-5m away from the road itself presenting zero actual hazard to road users whatsoever. It often gives a 'for the sake it' type of feel (as if reported someone's kid is in the passenger seat bored). It is pretty annoying and often jolting when it happens say more than 5 times in a 1 hr journey whilst you're driving along concerned…

Most hazard alerts should not expire
When a hazard alert, such as a construction zone or a stopped vehicle is posted, it should not simply expire. It should remain active until a user explicitly responds that it's "Not there."
There's no reason that a long-term construction project, for example, should have to be reported repeatedly day after day for months. The same applies to most types of alerts, such as broken traffic lights and potholes. Once the hazard is gone, users will say so. Until then, it should remain active.

intentional unmark of police point
People from police are intentionally unmarking existing stationary police points, to not be recognized.
Maybe its possible to update waze to stop this intentional unmarking mostly on police speed checking points.3 votes -

Stop the pandering. If you are going to map the map in color, do it for everyone, not just a specific group, in a specific month…we’re tired of it.

Use front-facing camera to do things (if available)
I position my iPhone in a cradle that attaches to the windscreen, and I think that I'm not alone. This camera has a pretty unobstructed view of the road ahead, which Waze could use to produce awesomeness! I can immediately think of a number of cool things that you could do with this, depending on how much image processing you want to do. Here are some user stories for you :)
As a: User concerned about recording details for insurance purposes in the event of an accident
I would like: Waze to record the field of view in front of…2 votes -
Directions
Please add back the exit name on the app while driving. Waze only shows 1.6 miles. It no longer has underneath 1.6 miles towards exit 12 Miami international airport for example. Why did that stop?
