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.

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…

gas stations / resting places
Hi Wazers,
just came back from holidays by car, driving around 2500km. The navigation works perfect with Waze, BUT it was reaaaally difficult to find the right gas stations and/or resting places along the route.
For example, we were driving from Karlsruhe (Germany) to Budapest (Hugnary) with two children and it would have been extremely helpful to know and see Esso gas stations along the road for the following 1000km (having an Esso-Card) and all the resting places and what they serve (Mc Donald's etc.). This way it would have been great to plan the trip and to know when…2 votes -
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.

Voice Activation
Can be used to confim/add road hazards and traffic situations. Example: hey siri, car stopped on shoulder or hey siri, confirm road stopped and it will add it. A app called Yazio does something similar where you can add 12 oz of water to your daily intake (calorie counter app)

Registration plate recognition and automatic tagging of police vehicles
Due to the proliferation of unmarked police cars and unmarked mobile speed cameras (parked cars) with no warning signs, it is now necessary to take it one step further and use the video feed from dash cams (both front and rear) and character recognition to automatically tag a police vehicle by its registration plate (after that registration plate has been manually tagged). If a user is travelling with that vehicle, the vehicle's location would be updated live. Once that user breaks away from the police vehicle, the location would then be picked up and updated live by other Waze users…

disable pop-ups
Please give us a way to disable the pop-ups. I don’t care that there’s a car stopped on the side of the road in 4/10 of a mile. I can’t see what’s happening in 4/10 of a mile but I just missed my exit because the pop-up covered the details that I need to know now.

Have a daily notification showing traffic on route traveled in advance of departure
Daily notification at a set time that informs you about traffic on selected routes. i.e. at 5 pm a notification alerts you to traffic on the M11.
I don't use Waze for my commute each day as I know the way, accordingly i often forget to check the traffic and get caught. A daily notification at the same time would stop this, it could also provide an alternate route.

waze for facilities
a new feature for waze - navigation for facilities. any new student in high school or collage spends some time trying to figure out where building no. 17 is, or the lab. the same is true for visiting hospitals, finding the right section, elevator and unit. the fact that public buildings plans already exist as digital files should facilitate development. yet another idea - an option to temporarily stop the application when entering an elevator.

Add STOP sign camera notifications in jurisdictions where they are being installed. They are spreading rapidly as a new revenue source.

Advertise the Waze app on billboards in high traffic areas
I think if Waze advertised the App in particularly high traffic areas, Waze could ultimately get tons of new users and the ability to ease traffic. For example, I live in Williamsburg, Virginia and travel I-64 daily to get to work in Hampton. It's about 33 miles one way. Currently, I-64 is under construction to widen it. During the summer time frame, there are approximately, 20,000 more drivers on this busy section a day that are headed to Virginia Beach and/or the Outer Banks of North Carolina for vacation. You can imagine what happens in the stop and go traffic…

Stop search results from auto-updating too quickly while driving
Whenever I'm driving, using Android Auto and search for gas stations under the categories option, I'm really only able to view the first and second results. There are more results that are presented that I can scroll down to. However, after about a second or less, the results update and scroll back up to the top of the list. This only started happening in the last year or so. It used to work where you could scroll down through the results while in motion but this no longer works. Can you bring this back so that the search functionality is…

Ability to add a stop / travel to destination via another place
It would be good to have the ability to travel to a destination via another place e.g. travel to point C from point A, via point B. This would be handy if you’re maybe picking someone up and need to work out what time to leave so as to reach your final destination by a certain time. Google maps has this function.

Weathersfield Township in Ohio is standing on overpasses over I80 in Ohio with speed cameras. They then send Safety Violation tickets in the mail. It is illegal for a township to issue tickets on an interstate Ohio. The state is write new law to stop them. WHY IS THE WHOLE SECTION OF ROAD THROUGH THE TOWN NOT HIGHLIGHTED ON THE APP WITH A WARNING. THE APP SAY NOTHING THROUGH THERE. PLEASE FIX AND GIVE A WARNING.

It's been 10 years, stop with the reroute chirp already!
People have been complaining about this stupid chirp since at least 2015. And on top of that, the reroute chirp is leftover from when GPS navigation was rare. Get rid of it! Give the option to get rid of it, Google Maps does.
