adding the possibility of reporting nearby
Often I want to report something that I see a bit far from where I am by the time I turn on waze, it would be really useful to be able to report in places different from where one is (maybe adding a maximum radius to avoid scam)
PS sending feedback from mobile is quite laborious, if you care to make it easier it would be nice

Improvement of Road Safety in Colombia
To improve the safety of drivers on the road, especially in Colombia, one should:
-Create a voice notification that suggests slowing down due to dangerous potholes on the road.
- Allow users to "paint" potholes in the road with a color that allows other users to realize their exact position. In the same way, they are allowed to "erase" the potholes that are being repaired.
- Allow the previous download of the route with notifications about potholes to avoid accidents due to loss of connectivity.3 votes -
Waze Rider - No option to split tolls?
Was doing a research project on Waze Rider. For starters see a few evident loopholes, which could use some improvements.
- Why are the Tolls not being divided between the Rider and the Driver?
- that leads to my other observation, in the NYC metro area crossing from NJ-NYC is predominantly via the downtown Holland and Midtown Lincoln tunnels and uptown GW bridge. Tolls for riders in a car are $16; this significantly drops if you have 3 or more passengers. Location based fare calculation would be more beneficial.2 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

High Accident Area Allert
When about to enter an intersection where there have been many fatalities/accidents Waze could alert you to use extra caution. Today, my son and I saw an accident that is an area I went through and I remember thinking..."Oh my goodness, what in the world!?!" It was a strange intersection. I think drivers can be warned either by a voice warning to use extra caution or by a color that shows that area to be susceptible to accidents. His truck was upside down and the top crushed in. We hope he's okay. The idea to me is not to avoid…

Navigation avoid freeway is buried too deep add a choice for both to appear in routes as in Los Angeles always getting on and off freeway
Navigation is buried now I need to drive street or freeway all the time. Have a choice for freeway and street routes to appear when starting the app going back and forth is cumbersome and difficult if I need to leave freeway. Or bring choice to one click instead of three or four.

Public or private events
Please add the option to set a public event (with proof of its occurrence) to allow people to avoid routes that may be congested because of the event such as a farmers market. This would help a lot of people as the traffic option usually doesn’t last too long meanwhile events can last the entire day, blocking roads or decreasing lane sizes, forcing a merge.

Reminder about roll transponders
We share an EZ pass between two cars, and sometimes have forgotten to switch it to the car we will drive on a route that has tolls. When we input a destination that requires tolls, how about if Waze were to ask “Do you gave your toll transponder with you?” It would be awesome. I bet this feature would be helpful to many people. Thank you.

report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

It would be amazing to have traffic conditions and route details based on the HOV lane. Thanks!
HOV Lane button would be amazing! I would love to know the traffic conditions based on using the HOV lane. Thanks!
2 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Add audio player support for BeyondPod
BeyondPod is one of the better Android podcast apps and I use it all the time. Having it as a selection in the audio player menu would be very useful and avoid distraction when driving.

Highway and street name voice alerts
Waze should announce highway and street names like it used to. Busy traffic and directions like strait, right and left can be hard to navigate with heavy traffic and confusing areas.
EG stay right on hwy 35 south or turn right on commerce street.
Strait can be deceiving and confusing when both lanes go strait but they veer off after you pass your exit.2 votes -

Driver's Line Assistant
Hello. Please add the Driver's Line Assistant to your Waze app. I think it's very important thing, because that's one of things which is missed and what would help driver (user) drive right line. Some countries/cities have like 3 curves left and 2 right on highways. So, this will help to avoid problems after seeing/hearing "Turn left".
2 votesGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

insufisant speed limit notification
Hello and Happy New Year to all.
It remains for me 2 major gaps for waze and one interesting improvement.
- The sound alert only when over speeding is insuffisant and already cost me 1pt on my licence when I accelerate to overtake. ..
You can not look at the screen constantly we must keep an eye on the road. Then configurable audible signal for danger zones is therefore indispensable.
- The speed is not displayed or set as she is known by the apk.For the improvement is to advertise only hazards on the road on which flows to …

Multiple Road Toggle
For areas with multiple levels (e.g. express way on top of a regular highway) or multiple parallel roads (e.g. regular highway and express way next to each other), there should be an option to configure which one you are actually on since sometimes Waze gives you directions that don't match up like telling you to take a turn when you're in an elevated part and not approaching an exit or telling you that it will take 5 minutes instead of the actual 30 because it thinks you're in an express way.

Android Auto
Bisher gute Umsetzung,
Leider fehlt mir nach der Verbindung mit Android Auto viele Funktionen (nur ein Beispiel, Anzeige Geschwindigkeit / erlaubte Geschwindigkeit)
Eine Fahrspurassistent wäre auch sehr gut.aber was mich besonders nervt das er nach Trennung von Android Auto weiterhin navigieren möchte obwohl bereits am Ziel angekommen, toll wäre es wenn man von Android Auto trennt das auch waze beendet wird!
Integration von Google Verkehrsdaten !
Macht weiter so!

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…
