Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

Unpaved roads
Ability to not only identify unpaved roads but also the option to avoid them all together. Ran into this issue when traveling through Antigua with less than ideal vehicle.

Waze avoiding nlex tolls if you don't have easytrip
The logic of waze is wrong. Tolls in the Philippines accept both rfid and cash. So you can still pass by nlex or slex tolls using cash if you don't have the required rfid

Search bar for Tolls and HOV passes
In the Tolls and HOV passes menu, there are a lot of passes for a while (in the past there were only passes for my country), and I have to scroll through them to find the pass I'm looking for. It is really a lot, I guess for the whole of Europe. It would be beneficial to have a search bar for this menu to be able to filter/search passes.

Bring back Deer sightings on or near road. Simply , road hazard is insufficient to warn drivers.
Being back deer on side of road or in road is much better than just saying road hazard . A simply road hazard does NOT give drivers proper heads up to avoid killing the animals and possibly themselves

Rail road crossings.
The routes need an option to avoid Rail Road crossings. The map should ideally show if there is an underpass for the train.

I would love to have speed limits added to the app. It would help avoid traps. Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't help Without it
I would love to see the speed limit added to the app with an alert letting you know it is about to change! Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't no good if there is a speed cage over a hill and the cop is setting there! There are traps set up like this all over. And this would eleminate small town traps.

Add Realtime Odometer/Points Counter
Add a realtime odometer/points counter as an extra feature in the app. This is to help avoid points not being added to scoreboard. Points recorded in counter should not clear until server updates scores.

You should be able to put a parameter like number of minutes saved to say don't reroute me unless it saves x minutes
WAZE will re-route when it only saves about 2 minutes. I want to be able to set a parameter that says don't re-route me unless it saves more than 5 minutes. Also don't re-route me to a toll road unless it saves 10 minutes

Suggestion for New Feature: Reporting Hazards on Opposite Lane
As a frequent user of Waze, I have found it incredibly useful to report hazards such as accidents, objects on the road, or other potential dangers. However, I have noticed that the current reporting system only allows us to report issues on the lane we are driving in. There are many instances where I have observed hazards on the opposite lane, which could be equally important for other drivers to be aware of.
I would like to suggest adding a functionality that allows users to report hazards on the opposite lane. This could be particularly beneficial on highways or roads…

Constantly display on the map the roads that are painted red in order to avoid traffic jams based on the driver's knowledge of the roads and
I would like to address something that really bothers me about the service, and I think I really miss seeing the traffic congestion and traffic jams on the map at the same time, especially while navigating to my destination on the alternative routes that are possible for me to take, so that at any given time I can calculate a route and navigate to try to avoid traffic jams and congestion. Since when I want to see the current situation, there is no way to see if there are traffic jams and traffic jams on the routes, and I cannot…

Make sure that a NZ person does the waze updates so we can don't need the accent which is hard to understand also
Also make sure they tell you to turn right before you right there so you can change lanes if needed to, & don't say turn left now then find out OOPS one way st & I can.

Report speed limit when reporting speed trap ahead
Just a before a speed trap, most drivers have no idea what the speed limit is. Thinking they need to avoid a fine they slow down rapidly causing a mini traffic jam and a lot of danger. If you can report the speed limit, most drivers would maintain speed and traffic will go smoother. This happens mostly in Israel highway 2.

Ability to block users/private messages from certain users
You should be able to block certain users or, if this already possible, it should be made obvious how to do so.
I am repeatedly getting private messages from the same non-friend user. I can't reply to the messages or see who this person is, yet he is somehow repeatedly finding me. It does not make me feel secure and I shouldn't have to turn off private messaging entirely just to avoid one weirdo.
(Also, make turning off private messaging actually work because I got another one from him today somehow, even though I turned them off.)

Better navigation - height width weight
Please add three values to segments, maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. All segments should default to 0.
Please add user settings of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. They should default to 0. The label should direct the user to enter their height/width in metres and weight in tonnes.
When reviewing a navigation route, check if there is a value of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight exceeding 0. If there is a value, cross-check the users maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight is lower.
If the users value is higher than the segment value, disregard that segment as a navigation option.
This would help users of a wide range of…

Add a thumbs down option for routes
Please add a thumbs down option to routes. For example I hate crossing 6 lanes of traffic during busy commute times. I'd like to thumbs down that route so Waze doesn't bring me that way again.

More elaborate vehicle choice
It would be really perfect to be able to choose the type of private vehicle, such as a car + cart. As a result, the speed limits change and so does the journey time. It would be perfect if the approximate cost of the toll also changed based on the number of axles, for example car + trolley with 3 total axles and the toll increases.

Can we please have a way to flag roads as traffic calmed?
Waze repeatedly tries to direct me onto roads that have traffic calming humps, which wears out my suspension & throws my tracking out. I'd like for there to be a way to flag up roads as traffic calmed in the map editor and for there to be an option "Avoid traffic calming". People with SUVs can carry on driving over the humps but folks like myself who like a stiffened, lowered suspension would be very thankful to avoid the almost off-road experience these measures create.

Optimization Proposal for Waze – Integration of Support for Buses and Trucks
To enhance user experience and expand the app’s target audience, it is recommended to add dedicated support for heavy and public vehicles such as buses and trucks. This feature would include the following components:
Customized Driver Profiles – An option to select the type of vehicle: truck, bus, private car, motorcycle, etc.
Tailored Route Planning – Routes would consider height and weight restrictions, specific traffic signs (e.g., "No entry for trucks"), and restricted access zones.
Integration of Dedicated Lanes – For buses: display of bus-only lanes (such as BRT or HOV lanes) and incorporate their availability into route planning.
