Turn off close to home
Much the same way the “still there” interface pops up when you are close to a reported cop or car on the side of the road, have a pop off for “continue/stop” when you are close to home. I suggest 1mile radius from your Home location.

Increase the menu arrow on Android Auto
When using Waze on Android Auto, the arrow to the menu "Routes, Stop, Search Sound" should be bigger; it's too tiny for us to be sure that is already selected (without having a touchscreen unit) during the day, especially bright ones, during the drive.

council fines
Have an alert for Council Officers handing out fines (in addition to the current Police ones).
In Brisbane, Australia, Council Officers stand out on the road corners handing out tickets for people stopping (picking people up / dropping people off). It would be AMAZING to have an alert for this!

Live Distance to next toll barrier
Like on the BMW GPS system, where you have an indication of the distance of the next toll barrier.
As the controls are mainly in the 10km before the toll barrier so it is easy to get stopped, this indication would bring much more safety.1 vote -
Searching during navigating with carplay
I think the worst thing about Waze is searching for a stop on your existing route.
You click on gas stations and it comes up with a list. Not helpful while driving. Especially when those are not directly on the route. They could be behind you or far off the actual route.
I use Google maps a lot more for local trips because of this feature. You need to add a stop on the route…whether it’s gas or an address and when you put that in. It shows 5 locations on the actual map so you can physically how far…

reporting vehicles on the side of the road
when reporting a vehicle on the side of the road, if the "vehicle stopped" icon were on the second screen and not buried, would be safer. 5 user inputs vs. a possible 3 - less time looking away from the road and at the map/device

Carpool
Here's an idea. How about now making Waze suddenly stop working to ask me about carpooling WHILE I'M FUCKING DRIVING IN AN UNKNOWN AREA!!!!!!! This stupid goddamn "survey" allowed me about 10 minutes of blind driving in an an unknown area. Do it again ... and you are deleted.

Emphasize searching by business address during user onboarding.
As a volunteer editor, I deal with many URs that involve what the user perceives to be "incorrect" address navigation. I frequently find myself advising reporters to search by business name instead of address, because the business PP is generally more accurate than the HN. It would be great if this could be added to the tips that are shown to a new user when they first run the app. I think this would reduce user frustration because they likely expect navigation to the building like in GMaps when they enter an address. They don't realize they are being taken…

Add “Wazer Needs Help” indication
The hazard on should feature indicates cars that are stopped and other hazards. Imagine, it would also indicate if that car is a Water in need.
I am suggesting that a Water can indicate if she/he needs help. Adding a toggle box “need help” and possibly specifics, like “out of gas”, “flat tire”, “medical emergency” etc.
I do occasionally stop when a car is on the shoulder with the hazards on and offer my help. Often it’s just a bathroom break but in more than half the cases I am actually able to offer meaningful help.
I believe this feature…

when wazers are regularly exceeding the speed limit on non-highways, waze should stop sending people on that route.
If Wazers are exceeding residential speed limits, it creates a hazard for everyone in that area. Waze should collect data about the amount of drivers who are exceeding speed limits and then restrict usage of those roads because it is a public safety issue.
Drivers may be going through areas where there are children, joggers, bicyclists, and others who are now at risk because people are exceeding the speed limit while looking down at their phones to get the next GPS instruction.

Black screen issue
When changing the driving destination and want to stop the current route, it becomes black screen of death! It cannot be stopped. I had to turn the phone off completely or GPS off to get out of Waze app.

Navigate through alerts popups
There have been many times when I'm stopped and Waze is cycling through the different alerts that people have reported and I'll see the tail end of one and then it changes and I have no way to go back to see it again.
I would like to see a forward, backwards, and don't show this alert again option.

Change new up-swipe motion to get to stop navigation option. It's too many steps to stop navigation, dangerous while driving
and it same motion as pulling up control center on iphone, so often that pops up instead when you swipe up.

When you plan to drive, it would seem that you can’t add a stop at all
When you plan to drive, it would seem that you can’t add a stop at all….. can we have this fixed?
.... Also with regard to this process, I am not being allowed to login with Facebook, but it keeps on prompting me for email and password.

Add "Disabled Vehicle" to Windows Phone version
I have an Android phone at work, and a Windows Phone at home. I use Waze on both as a single user. I was navigating home on Sunday when I watched a vehicle become disabled next to me at a traffic light. Being the good Wazer that I am, I immediately opened my Waze app and pressed on the "REPORT" icon. On my work (Android) phone under "HAZARD", there is an option to identify "Vehicle Stopped". On my Home (Windows) phone version, that option is completing missing. How did this get left off???? Could someone at Waze add it as…
2 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Waze now says “IN ABOUT…” then follows up with the rest of a direction. It’s excruciating to use now. In about, in about, in about…….
IN ABOUT one more month of listing to Waze say IN ABOUT, I’m ABOUT to stop using the app completely.
I have been using Waze since it was a BETA program.
A few months ago it started saying “IN ABOUT….” before every instruction. It is absolutely maddening to listen to.
Please do SOMETHING.

Adding parking bays/ lay-bys onto the map
It would be really helpful to be able to see parking bays / lay-bys on the maps. We have a young baby and often have to find somewhere for a quick pit stop and sometimes miss parking areas as they aren’t on maps or well signposted - this can make the situation even more stressful
