Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete
When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.
I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.
BACKGROUND
Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.
=== Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===
Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to…

Waze microphone usage instead of Google Assistant (Local language issue)
The waze app is working well on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S10e).
My problem is starting when I connect to Auto Android in my car (BMW 5 year: 2023)
All of my devices are set to Hungarian language (car + phone + waze)
I could add any address by voice in Hungarian languge before the newest version of Auto Android.
NOW I can use Hungarian language directly on the phone when I open the waze app but if I connect to the car the mic icon change to Google assistant which can not speak Hungarian!Can you please place the…

Allow reporting of issues from a PC
I don't use my phone when I'm on my motorcycle but would like to be able to report things I see once I reach my destination. I should be able to, from my PC or my phone, report issues which are not at my current location.

Autodetect closures and closed roads
Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.
Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed…

Speed limit notification
I would suggest adding the actual speed limit value notification when Waze reports there is a speed camera on your route.

Don't release versions that are buggier than previous ones!
Noam Bardin, you should be ashamed of yourself. Since I updated 2 days ago this App has crashed more times since then than it has in the whole 2 years I have used it!
It is especially bad when using the camera feature, never mind the constant (chopped off screen) display issues as well.
I implore you to please do us all a favour Noam & sort this debacle out post haste. Start by showing the person responsible for green lighting this latest release the door & then ensure that you replace them with someone competent, thank you.

Improve your UI for submitting map issues
This is both in the Waze phone app and in the Map editor. When submitting a map issue, the text box is very small and not obvious. It's barely visible so it's easy to miss and only select the issue and hit send.
In the map editor, when replying to a comment about a map issue, the Done button is big a blue and the Send button is small and grey. It's very easy to spend a few minutes typing a reply then hitting Done instead of Send and therefore losing the entire message.You should really work on your…

Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works
I would like to suggest adding functionality to Waze that supports temporary speed limits on road segments affected by road works. This would work similarly to the current "Closures" feature in the Waze Map Editor (WME).
Reason for Request:
This summer, we have received numerous reports from drivers through the mobile app, indicating incorrect speed limits displayed on roads under construction. Currently, setting temporary speed limits and later restoring the original limits after the road works are completed is a time-consuming, double effort for us.A "Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works" feature would not only streamline the process of…

Create a "memory mode" for operation without internet accesses
Create a "memory mode" for operation without internet accesses.
The memory mode should store the information about where you drive up to XX minutes (to be configured by the user) and will be fed to internet when then network is available again.
This feature will help to log off-road and path in mountain where the cell phone coverage is bad.

Apple CarPlay Update needed
I love that we finally have Apply CarPlay integration! The update does need some additional work in my opinion. The roads/street names/ icons all appear blurry on the CarPlay display. All of the notifications that pop up are clear/crisp. It just looks like the map isn't fully loaded and isnt giving a clear picture like the map on the phone does. Also - the icon (arrow or car) is massive compared to the rest of the map. It doesnt get smaller/bigger when zooming in or out. I think the icon should change size based on the size of the map…

Play voice on device when bluetooth conected
A good think to do on this app it's to have the choice of not playing audio on Bluetooth only because if the phone is connected to Bluetooth on the car and you listening radio that become a problem hearing waze voice .

Make STILL THERE? larger
Please make the “Still there” and “Not there” voices larger and separate them. I often miss what I am going for because of a bump on the road or just because they are right next to each other. Separating them to something similar to when I receive a phone call and have the option to accept or decline would be very nice. Having large green and red buttons to say if a report is still there would result in less focus away from driving and less errors when selecting.

Ability to view "Navigation History" on desktop website
Ability to view "Navigation History" on desktop website, I can only do this on mobile by going to Settings > Privacy >Navigation History.
I would like to be able to do this on the desktop website as well as it would make it easier whenever I track my mileage for expenses to be able to use the same data off of the desktop website having to do everything from my phone.

Post report via swipe movement.
Allow smart phone users to do a quick report on a few most common reports by swiping their finger accross the phone. ex. police: swipe finger from left to right on the center of screen. General Hazard on road draw a circle on the screen. hazard on should draw a 1/2 circle on bottom of phone. etc. and allow users to turn off/on feature and to decide what motion reports what.... this would allow for fast and easy reporting with keep eyes on road.

disable "not there" for abusers or non-contributers
For those who harass police sighting users of waze by FALSELY clicking "not there" the button clicking privilege ought be revoked until they are other than counterproductive
identify them by their sole use of police related report by not-thefe and entire lack of contributing reports
Also detect stationary officers who not-there themselves

screen rotation
Screen rotation. I use Waze on android, and I don't have a phone holder in many of the vehicles I drive for work, so I invert my phone (because the charging cable is plugged in) and put it in the cup holder. The map does not re-orient with the phone rotation, so the map and everything on it is upside down. It's been like this for a long time and I'm kinda getting used to it, but it would be nice to not perform mental gymnastics to figure out what I need to do while I'm also supposed to be…
