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.

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.

Stop sending warning about available Waze updates, esp. on a Holiday
EVERY time I update Waze I have a subsequent problem. Today, the Memorial holiday in the USA, I get a notification of a Waze update available. I am aware of this update since February 9th.
1. EVERY time I update Waze I have problems. My current problem that has existed since I last updated is that when I click on the notice at the top of my Galaxy S4 for 'its time to start driving' the destination information disappears.
2. I have reviewed the information on the Waze update still to download and I DO NOT NEED a voice recorder…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

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.

Reports of police presence
I’m a new user and like your app very much. The reports of stalled cars and other hazards is very helpful for everyone’s safety. However, speeding has become a serious problem on the highways, since Covid has resulted in much less police presence. When Waze reports the location of radar traps. It encourages drivers to violate the law and avoid getting tickets; this is not in everyone’s best interest. My recommendation is that you stop reporting radar traps.

Stop sending me down single tracks where I encounter pot holes and overgrown hedges that between them damage my car!!!
Stop sending me down narrow overgrown single track roads that are not ideal for driving along. The hedges scratch my car and the damaged road surfaces damage my wheels. Very frustrating and stressful.

Copilot
There are three very useful things missing to make driving safer: 1. Speed traps alerts if speed limit drops ahead, a warning of change will do. 2. Exit speeds beyond a delta; you might be on 65 limit with short ramp at 25 exit unfamiliar with rain at night is dangerous. 3. Save preferred routes like roads you like leaving your town because of deer, fog, blind turns, or whatever drive your preference without having to put your destination and then a stop to force a route or else reroute messages come at every corner

NEW FEATURE
Add a new feature that allows waze to voice out hazards ahead like road kill, traffic, and stopped vehicles. Also, when police are reported ahead. This new feature would allow drivers to get all alerts even if they are not using the waze app as a navigation tool. Drivers would be able to set this feature on and off by Bluetooth in their car as well. This would be helpful for everyone driving even if they do not need a gps.

Rush Hour in Los Angeles
Rush Hour in Los Angeles: first, there are surprisingly few left turn light signals in Los Angeles (LA) at major intersections. second, especially at rush hour in LA (which is most of the time) it is next to impossible to make a left onto a major road or cross it without a traffic light or 4-way stop sign. third, if a route says there is 'heavy' traffic up ahead or traffic is 'at a standstill', route me a different way!
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

Display alphabet and voice guiding
Hello Waze developres!
I just drove through countries that use other alphabets than latin (cyrillic, greek). Waze gave me two nasty surprizes.
First: place names are displayed using the local alphabet, ignoring my interface language choice. Reading names / finding a place was impossible while driving, although i partially know those alphabets. Imagine having to stop on a highway just to find a place. I had to blindly follow the path to intended final destination, without being able to recognize anything on route. I strongly suggest displaying place names in an alphabet matching the user selection for interface language. Or…

Toll booth waiting time
Everytime I stop at a toll booth, the app asks if there is traffic jam. Instead of that, it would be nice to have toll booths identified in the map and once near it, the app would calculate the average time users are spending on each site, excluding fast passages as they would represent tagged vehicles. To display it, a bar similar to traffic jam would do just fine. With that, the ETA would be less affected by long lined in toll booths.

Railroad arms down
It would be nice to know when trains are stopped and the rails are down. That way you could take an alternate route.

Arrêter de signaler les véhi ules en stationnement
Arrêter de signaler les véhicules arrêtés sur les airs de repos ou les trotoirs !
Le soir c'est non stop ces signalements inutiles de chauffeurs prenant leur pause sur une air de repos, une voiture garrée sur le bas coté devant sa maison etc. Et on n'y fais plus attention au bout d'une vingtaine de signalelents bidons !
Et du coup, j'ai failli écraser un type changeant sa roue après un virage !
Il avait peut être aussi été signalé mais au bout d'une vingtaine de signalement inutiles c'est passé inaperçu.3 votes -
Optional Route Preview
The recent addition of a route preview that can NOT be turned off needs to be removed. I went from being able to efficiently go from place to place as a driver to having to stop and navigate my way through a maze of "here's this route over view. Here's that overview." If I want or need a new route, I'll go find one. Like I always did. At the very least, give us the option to turn that off. It's a waste of time.

Stop trying to be right and start trying to be helpful.
Re: my report to you yesterday. On Santa Fe, there are 2 signs for Hampton Ave. Hampton Ave South Exit or Hampton Ave North Exit. To tell me to take Hampton Ave West because that is the name of the road is just not helpful.

Weather / Sight Seeing Updates - Trip Planning
When planning a trip, we often have to check the weather updates on a separate App. My suggestion is to integrate Waze to the weather apps so that you are able to preview if its safe to travel during our proposed time
Secondly - The are beautiful sites/places enroute that we often aren't aware by allowing users or integrating data from sites like trip advisors etc users will be able to explore and experience during travel- also reduces the risk of road fatigue as it will prompt drivers to stop and rest

select locations to avoid
Click a specific location you want to avoid (dangerous, long light, frequent traffic, personal reasons, etc). If you can click to add a stop to a route, you should be able to select a location and say Avoid this (Just for this trip, Save to un-favorites list, or Always avoid). Currently I have to add a fake stop to trick Waze into rerouting around a known bad spot.
