Feedback on routes
After a drive I would like to give feedback on the navigation. I would log in to a web site, find my route, view on a map and then be able to click and say "Here, Waze said 'At the roundabout, take the third exit' but it should have said 'At the roundabout, take the third exit and then keep left'". I have many cases where there is room for minor improvement like this - but too minor to be done while driving.

road ahead preview button
I would like to have an on map button which, on hold or on press, will zoom out the map to show the entire route ahead.
Releasing or pressing again will go back to regular nav mode.
This is great for getting a sense of the route and not having to be constantly alert to input from the client (visual or auditory).
Thanks,

Route to electronic toll vs. manual toll payments
Add an option where drivers can opt for open road tolling because they have an electronic toll payment device. It is annoying to keep hearing "keep right" for manual toll payment.

Please create a route delivery option that will guide drivers to The docking side of a building. This will save time for drivers.
As a route driver I often use Waze especially when visiting a new customer. I have noted that Waze will always guide one to the front of the building which is not always convenient when doing deliveries. I suggest that you create a “deliveries option” for people like me. Creating a second address option for each destination i.e guiding route drivers to the docking side of the building would save time for drivers that are often on tight time schedules. This option I believe may lead to increased user demand for Waze by people like me.

Improve road detection while navigating
When navigating along roads that have service/access roads, the navigation will want to enter the freeway/highway/tollway/etc. If the driver stays on the access road or exits onto the access road, Waze does not detect that and keeps the location locked to the planned route. If Waze wants to route you onto a freeway/highway/tollway/etc. and you do not take the on-ramp, the app locks onto the planned route and thinks you are on the highway.
It would be nice if, when there are multiple parallel roads, that the app reduces the distance over which it will snap to a road.…

On the car screen the Exit Route Button is on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Exit Route Button on in car screen is located on the right side, it should be on the left side to be closer to the driver.
Also the same for the button used to report things on the road.
The less time a driver looks away from the road the better, and looking and reaching farther away is never a good thing.

Option for "Safety-Aware Routing" Prioritizing Shelter Proximity
I suggest adding a routing option that allows users to find routes optimized not just for speed, but also for proximity to designated safety shelters (e.g., bomb shelters, emergency shelters) along the way. In emergencies, knowing you're on a path with quick access to a shelter could be crucial. This would be different from navigating to a shelter, but rather keeping shelters nearby while en route to a destination.

Notify conditions between home and work
Send a notification of a significant event that has occurred between home and work whilst the app is not in use. This feature is enabled only when either at work or home and is configured to only scan for issues between home and work when at home, vice versa.
For instance, if I am at work and a major accident has happened on my usual route, I want to know about it before I set off so I have options other than just finding an alternative route. The notification could state something along the lines of "[incident type]…

Calculating Meeting points
It would be great that if Waze can help the customers to advise a meeting place for people who are trying to carpool.
Basically, its taking 3 routes, if there are two participants are trying to get from their places to the same destination. .
1. Person 1's route from place A to place B.
2. Person 2's route from place C to place B.Then, Waze can calculate the most close meeting points fro Person 1 and Person 2 to meet and get to place B.

Waze for motorbike
The best functionality for the biker would be to develop a "Biker Mode" which not consider the traffic jam to calculate the best route.
5 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

when is rush hour?
when I choose a destination, It would be wonderful if Waze would tell me when is rush hour on that route (based on past data) so I can plan ahead.

Consider real-time & historic traffic patterns for all appropriate routes prior to proposing best route
Real-time traffic patterns for longer journeys are of limited use. Further, in the case of short journeys where there is a vast difference between on- and off-peak traffic patterns, it would be very helpful if the app could consider historic conjestion zones over the period of a few days or months.

"Check on" existing planned drives
The new "planned drives" feature is wonderful, but each time I try to see if the suggested departure route has changed, it creates an unwanted duplicate planned drive.
