Bathroom Finder on Route
Have an obvious button and/or a voice command to display (and when selected, route to) public bathrooms along your route. In settings, you should be able to select categories, like "rest area," "gas station or restaurant with restrooms," and distance from route (either in time or miles), etc. in order to establish a default search and display when the "show restrooms" switch is toggled.
1 voteSearch by key words would help here. Just type “Restroom” or “Toilet” and Waze will find the locations nearby.

Adding a work area as a contractor
When we are going to be working on a main road it would be nice to have the option to go on Waze to let everybody know where the work area will be what kind of work is being done, and to be able to alert drivers what Lane will be closed and so on . It will also keep the workers safe as well as keeping traffic flowing and avoiding accidents

Reporting gas prices outside of your area
I had difficulty reporting gas prices again while at my usual gas station. Usually as soon as I arrive, while Waze is on, I can report gas prices. App is up to date. Today I got an error stating the prices being reported were invalid. Tried more than once. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, so my suggestion is make it possible for users to report gas prices at stations they were close to, or the stations within a bigger area. That way you can re-attempt later.

Add favorites to a route
When I go on long trips, I enjoy stopping at rest areas, but I have no clue where they are or when they'll appear. I've ended up at a sketchy gas station, only to discover a rest area just 2 miles ahead. I also like pulling over at specific restaurant chains, but again, I don't know their locations. It would be awesome to add favorites to a route so the app tracks the distance to the nearest Chick-fil-A or Buc-ee's, then resets after you pass it to show the next one. This feature would be a game-changer.

Risk Area Idenfication By Zip Code
The waze could consider in their paths neighborhoods considered several risk based on ZIP code. Currently, many transportation companies use such resources to make deliveries and considered at risk neighborhoods, deliveries are made with escort.
The neighborhoods considered at risk or streets could be highlighted with different colors so drivers have to avoid these paths.

Add angry icon for jumping queue area or activity
As a way to educate drivers who jump / cutting queue. The icon or symbol of angry face is to indicate that we do not condone such behavior. Those who don't like this bad activity can click on the icon and number of clicks will be increased. The symbol can also be used by authority to take action on those bad drivers.

Displaying gas station icons on the map while driving / navigating
Hello,
I have a few wishes / suggestions.
1. Displaying gas station icons on the map while driving / navigating. I like this on Sygic navigation, if it navigates you, for example, on the highway, not only do you see gas station icons, but it is possible to turn it on to show you the next gas station or perhaps a rest area directly on your way. So you can see, for example, that the next gas station is MOL 45km away.
2. Entering fuel prices at gas stations via android auto.2 votesGreat news! The feature to see the gas station on the map is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.
You may also check the help article on how to set preferred gas stations.
Hope you like it!

Show traffic for FastTrak holders in Bay Area
Hi, can you show traffic in the Bay Area for those of us using FastTrak? Adding a simple button to acknowledge that we have a FT in our cars means you can let us know if the lanes are open (or not) for FT users and that can make our commute a bit easier.

Under fire area and relevant closures in Google Maps are missing in Waze
A severe fire was ongoing the previous weeks near our capital city in Greece, covering a vast area. While Google Maps is aware of the area that is under fire and has imposed relevant closures, I notice that in Waze, there are no closures in the same area at all.
I believe that it is very important for Waze to be able to pull such data from Google Maps in case of emergencies like fires, so it can protect and inform intime the drivers.
Thanks!

Accident alert to phone messages or email in real time in a chosen area or district
Hi Waze team
I’m from Sydney Australia,
My staff and I all use Waze for our navigation and we love it.I have a suggestion,
Is there a way to get a sound alert when someone reports an accident or heavy traffic in a certain district or area ?
If we are able to nominate an area of our city that we would like notifications on,
It could even send a text message to our phone
This would be a great addition to help avoid accident or traffic before we even jump in the trucks

Coloured Area Places Based on Type
Much like natural features and parks are green, Waze should build on different coloured area places. Red for Hospitals, Brown/Purple for schools/universities. This would best help with medical and school campuses with different parking lots so it isn’t a sea of grey and also adds a distinguishing view for the driver so to serve as a better landmark on the map.

Ability for area managers to add road closures and long-lasting hazards in areas they manage
Instead of having to rely on the high level requirement in certain countries, area managers should be able to add road closures and long-lasting hazard notices on the map in the areas they manage. Currently we have to rely on Country Managers who are already busy and it creates unnecessary work for us having to create map multiple map views and copy paste links every few weeks when we could just do it ourselves. Especially during large constructions, like currently our city is constructing a tramway and roads all around the city are either completely closed or traffic flow…
