On the car screen the Exit Route Button is on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Exit Route Button on in car screen is located on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Also the same for the button used to report things on the road.
The less time a driver looks away from the road the better, and looking and reaching farther away is never a good thing.

Please make the speed icon in the lower left corner larger with better contrasting colours. I find it difficult to read.

Add Driving Cops
When cops are driving, you can add driving cop which would make a cop drive on waze at the speed limit of the freeway. If the driving cop is around wazzers, the wazzers can confirm if the driving cop is near by and calibrate where the driving cop is helping out other wazzers.

Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS
An important factor during a car trip is the "Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS".
During a car trip, the MPS changes constantly:
1) from 70 to 50, then to 90, suddenly to 30, then again to 70, 30, 70, 100, 90, 120, etc.
2) The MPS aren't always the same type of traffic signs.
I've noticed that I sometimes miss a traffic sign, and WAZE alerts me, for example, with an audible signal (thanks for that!).
My gaze automatically shifts to my smartphone, which actually distracts me from what's happening or could happen on the road!
That's why I'd like…1 vote -
Report dangerous driving
Would be super Helpful having an icon to report DANGEROUS DRIVING on Brazilian maps. Too many drivers do not drive safely and overpass de speed limit letting others drivers in danger.
Would be SUPER if Waze could add this service for thee good of all carefully drivers.
Thank you.7 votes -
The vehicle speed set to 0 and map display jumps on GPS blinds spots
The Speed Problem:
I noticed that when the car enters a cave my speed per hour gets reset back to 0 and when I leave the cave it goes back.Plus - The Map Display Problem:
When I get inside the cave the map display feature of the car/arrow icon stops working:
(the car/arrow icon would stop moving and then jump back to the end of the cave when I leave).I believe that the map feature and speed is working by gps to locate the vehicle location and time to calculate the speed which makes the car km/h…

When pollution peak, speed limit is reduced.

Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not…

Add alert/icon for police helicopters with speed radar in Romania
I propose adding a specific alert or icon for police helicopters equipped with speed radar in Romania. These helicopters regularly monitor traffic on highways and national roads, similar to mobile speed radars.
Benefits:
Alerts drivers to maintain safe speeds, reducing accidents and speeding violations.
The icon could be a helicopter with a radar symbol and function like the current mobile radar notifications.
Provides real-time, relevant information to drivers without violating any laws.
This feature would enhance road safety and improve the relevance of Waze for drivers in Romania.

Remove limits on saved places
Remove the limit from number of saved places. (its limited to 100). As a taxi driver, i found myself saving many places. Its easy for me to type the short letters and my saved places come on top. I want to use waze all the time even if i know where am going because it gives me alerts about speed cam, traffic..... Please kindly remove that limitation.
There's another thing that needs fixing. For example, am in Abu Dhabi where there's Malls that begins with same letters in there names, like; Marina Mall, Mushrif Mall, Mazyad Mall. So…

A button for HOV or non-HOV
There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match…6 votes -
Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.389 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Can you make
A average speed but not for the trip, from the moment the gps system says im entering a average speed limit motorway. (i already have an average speed for the trip on my car dash). So in order for me to know what my average speed is while driving in average speed limit way it had to start from the moment i cross the camera (GPS started and end at the exit point)

Not sure if Waze does curves speed alert, that would be nice especially driving on a unfamiliar road at night or in poor visibility.
