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.

go back to previous route planner as today the version is proposing strange routes and for sure not the best anymore
since 3 or 4 updates , the efficiency is going down !!!!
traffic not updated live
routes proposed not anymore efficient : strange proposals => software lost in efficiency not proposing the best route and consistent alternatives or not proposing appropriate deviations saving really time
sory but I will stop using it as now google maps is becoming very effective !!!

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.

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!

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.

Collaborative Routing
Waze works like the most other Navigation Apps. You can choose between 1 and 3 different fixed routes, that sometimes slightly change when there is a lot of traffic ahead. The problem is, that Waze works like a broadcast as far as I know.
So when Route 1 have heavy traffic, all other users get Route 2 to avoid traffic. The problem here is, that new heavy traffic will be created to avoid the first.
All cars following the same alternative route.
Instead of rely on fixed routes, each user should get a personal routing suggestion l, each Route little…

Feature Request: Co-Drive Functionality
Every year, I go on vacation with my family and friends, and we always rely on the Waze app, which has been incredibly helpful for all of us.
I’d like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the experience for groups traveling in multiple cars: a Co-Drive functionality. The idea is to allow users who are part of the same travel group to see each other’s locations on the map during the trip. This would be especially useful if one vehicle makes an unplanned stop—at a gas station or store, for example—so the rest of the group can stay…

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.

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…

Route with less traffic even if it takes longer
I hate stop and go traffic. I don't mind a longer travel if it means avoiding stop and go traffic.
Please add option to take alternate route that avoids heavy traffic even if it takes like 10 minutes longer. User should be able to set how much longer.

Add forward, back buttons on pop ups
I would love to see a forward and back button on the pop up notifications. Many times I'll glance down and slightly catch what the pop up said, but It's gone and I'm unable to go back through it. Then when I stop again I see the same ones over. It would be nice to scroll through because not all are important to the driver.

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.

REINSTATING THE PREVIOUSLY USED ADDRESSES FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING
Prior to driving to a new area or a new destination I will drop in addresses/locations into Waze and use them as waypoints as I am traveling. Also, when I am in a new area and I have previously found businesses, etc. that I frequent I would like to be able to have access to those address locations while I am driving like before. Now with the new voice only look up of a business while driving I no longer have access to said previously located addresses or waypoints while driving. I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating this…

Edit Hazard Reports
Often I just click hazard because I'm driving & don't want to miss the exact location.
It would be good if you could go back & edit the hazard when stopped (ie at traffic lights) to add info such as broken down car, elephant on road, elves in bushes etc so other Waze users had a better understanding of what hazard to look out for3 votes -
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.

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…

Favorite Hazards
I think there should be a "favorites" or "frequently used" option when it comes to notifying others of a hazard. Users could store their own. I know my most frequently used one is "Hazard. On shoulder. Vehicle stopped." You have to click through so many things... but if there was a favorite option stored, you could do it in one click.
