We can start our own teams.
Why can't we start our own teams? That way, people have a social way to earn goodies! Also, you could have team races and stuff. For the badge, we could have some options. Please vote for this idea, whether it's 3 votes or 1.
5 votesThanks for making this suggestion. We’d like to put this suggestion on hold until we start rethinking the future social layer of Waze.

construction zones - Ability to mark both the start and end of the zone.
Construction Zones - Ability to mark both the start and end of the zone. This would give everyone an idea on how long to expect any change to the traffic pattern.
61 votesThanks for your feedback. While this was on our roadmap, our plans have since shifted. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Improve starting voice directions
When setting off from a parking lot I find wave does not give directions left or right when exiting the parking lot. A lot of times I'm left guessing, or having to study the map. It's almost like wave has no idea where it is!
Once you've made the turn its gets on track.

Traffic Direction/Headings - N, E, E, SW, etc.
It would be helpful to know (and report) what direction/heading the heavy traffic is moving (or not moving) i.e. N, E, SW, etc
When I see heavy traffic icons, I'm not sure if it is on my route or going the other way. I think it would benefit other Wazers, if I could alert traffic conditions in the opposite lanes as well... similar to Police or Accident "on the other side."2 votes -
Navigate to address by segment direction
Point places should show which segment they are link to, and also have the ability to set which direction A->B or B->A (A&B being the default) that one must be travelling on the segment to access that address point. Rather than having to create short divided roadways when they are not much value in that particular case.

Ability to disable auto-app start with CarPlay
Stop automatically starting the app on the iPhone when CarPlay connects to the phone. Waze takes up too much resources on the phone. And I have to keep stopping it. None of my other navigation or map apps automatically start up with CarPlay.

I faced the issue that direction Voice "Марічка" for Ukraine is not available out of the country. Please add the possibility to choose any direction voice for your homeland country even if you are out of the border.2 votes -
Automatically start/stop reporting on bluetooth connect/disconnect
Please consider a settings option to report traffic only if exact bluetooth device (my car HF) is connected. This could be very useful feature to avoid false traffic reports.
Settings:
- Turn feature ON / OFF
- Choose BT deviceBehaviour:
- When exact bluetooth device is connected, wait until some ratelimit speed is reached (i.e. 30 kmh) and start reporting.
- When bluetooth device is disconnected, automatically stop traffic reporting.10 votes -
Give time estimates to the next direction. Ex. Instead of take an exit in 9 miles, take an exit in 23 minutes.

Improve route design to deliver clear direction
So when we start the way, the route displays so complicated with too much colors that confusing me where to focus on. It seems like everything is highlighted. Even with the traffic sign, I didn't realize that it was showing traffic through little red lines outside of the route. I just hope the design of the map to be simple, direct, and clear. Just highlight the path or route that I am going with just one simple line using different solid color that shows if it's on traffic or not. Just like google map!

Next exit/direction needs higher contrast color
The next direction text (like what street you'll turn on, or what exit you're taking) is in blue on a black background. This is actually impossible to read with sunglasses on and even more important isn't contrasted enough to be ADA compliant. Please make this text be white or a light color like pale yellow.

Allow user to see turn-by-turn direction list when using Waze via Android Auto.
When connected via Android Auto and using Waze there is no means to pull up the turn-by-turn directions list, even if the vehicle is parked. This forces the driver to drive "blind", not knowing what to expect between the start of the trip and the destination. In city use cases, this makes Waze via Android Auto unusable.

Indicate the distance just below the arrow of the direction change
When a direction change is indicated, the distance should be placed just below the arrow, and not on the left side of the screen

Add alert capability to post for Police to include those that are 'rolling' and in which direction . . .
When posting an alert where Police are involved, there isn't an option to note whether they are moving in traffic and if they are rolling with you or in the opposite direction. I feel that would/should be a natural choice to be able to make while reporting, to benefit other 'Wazers' operating near you. That's what it's for, right?

Pourquoi ne pas intégrer une boussole indiquant la direction à l'application Waze?
Il serait intéressant d'avoir l'indication des points cardinaux pour la direction qui serait affichée si on le veut.

a warning to user when the final direction does not include the actual address
The final driving direction should always be the street name of the direction entered. If it isn;t there is something wrong and you will end up in the wrong place. The user should be warned and asked to send a message to Waze to get it fixed.

A Reminder to start driving
I want to drive a destination at a specific time. I want to set the time when I want to be there. When it is time to start the drive Waze will provide a reminder. Similar reminders using TV broadcasts.
