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…

Auto Detect Speed in Traffic
Instead of the user selecting the "level" of traffic, Waze should automatically detect the user's speed for a specified time and/or distance to calculate an accurate delay due to the traffic. Then Waze should continue to monitor new users as they pass through the traffic zone to determine if the event is still occurring or if it needs to be removed and transit times recalculated.

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.

Start an Apple Watch support or show the notification for route
An extension for the mobile waze app or a new app development would be not in the plan. At least the notifications would be great.

Reports and Hazard Alerts
Speed camera alerts or warnings should sound regardless of the speed travelling. I would rather know something is there even if under speed. GPS speed monitoring is not as accurate as a vehicles speedometer, it's usually 5mph out.

Volume glitch
The iPhone volume is very glitchy. When my phone is connected to my Bluetooth in my car, the sound plays sporadically. No sound sometimes. Then I shut Waze off and restart, and sometimes the sound returns. Sometimes not. Have to do a # of restarts.

Waze voice commands is useless under Android Auto
I Would like waze to develop a feature to let me decide if I want to use Google Assistant under Waze Android Auto or not. When I'm looking for an address by voice comand, Google Assistant is always coming first and in most of the cases is handing up to waze a wrong address. The voice search from waze is performing far a way much better then Google assistant but it's useless if can't be used as default under Android Auto.

Personal features layer
Adding map features requires approval/access/high enough map editor level.
I suggest adding support for a 'personal' layer in Waze.
On that, everybody can add anything, change anything, without restrictions, but will only show for you (your account / the Waze on your phone / ...)From the Waze perspective, that allows you to mine for information harder to get, to be potentially shown on a 'Community' layer or even the main map (after maybe some extra vetting)
For example, you can mine all the 'Personal' layers for things by looking for features that multiple people, independent of each other, add…

Calcolo del percorso evitando semafori con telecamera / autovelox
Suggerisco un'opzione che permetta di calcolare il percorso evitando i semafori con telecamera e un'opzione che permetta di calcolare il percorso evitando i Velox.
I suggest an option that allows you to calculate the route avoiding traffic lights with a camera and an option that allows you to calculate the route avoiding the velox

Create shortcut to go to location and alert user of journey (replicate Glympse functionality)
I have noticed that Waze now offers location sharing. I would like for it to completely replace my need for running Glympse in tandem. Ideally, if I could have a shortcut icon on my phone home screen that started navigation to "Home", and shared my location with my wife, this would be great. Many thanks.

Pausing Waze when there's an incoming call.
When someone calls, Waze keeps saying the navigation instructions, and therefore making it impossible to hear the person you're talking to!
It should be possible to automatically pause it everytime the phone gets calls.4 votes -
Add option to add sound decibel readers
NYC specifically in the 5 boroughs of new york as well as a couple of other states started a program for sound decibel readers to be installed through out the city in other words noise cameras for cars and motorcycles. NYC has always been a loud place so this is un necessary. It is also not right towards cars that come from the factory stock such as scat pack chargers, hellcats, mustangs, harley davidson motorcycles, sports bikes, As well as many super cars. The 1st noise violation is a insane price of approximately $800 the 2nd is approximately $1600…

Allow a longer delay before voice prompts
When using my iPhone with bluetooth handsfree kit, I miss the first word of each prompt while the kit detects bluetooth audio and mutes my radio in the car. Please increase delay between starting the announcement (or add a selectable option to do so) to overcome this problem.

Mute specific notifications at specific locations
I want to know about cars on shoulder, hazards on road etc but I want to be be able to mute specific alerts by location : I know there is a speed camera and pot holes on my normal route and want to mute those but not mute all other items for same items on the rest of my drive. Shouldn’t be an all or nothing alert system. Need a MUTE THIS NOTIFICATION FOR THIS LOCATION ONLY option.

Add "virtual friends" with his nickname
Sometimes we meet cool people on the waze forum but we prefer not to exchange Facebook account, phone numbers.
It would be cool to add them to share bip bip, message, classification and to compete with.
With the last upgraded there was phone numbers, Facebook account but I think there is a lack of that!4 votes -
Change speed limit during raod works
Being able to change a road/street max speed/speed limit during road works
ex : road works for 1 month, speed limit changed from 70 kmh to 50 kmh during that time and waze doesn't "beep" when you exceed it... this is problematic when there's a mobile radar.5 votes -
Separate the Confirm or Deny buttons on the Screen by a lot more
Separate the Confirm or Deny buttons on the Screen by a lot more-
On a phone screen, the button to confirm a hazard/etc is too close to the button for negating the hazard. While driving, especially if you hit a bump, the chance of hitting the wrong button would be greatly reduced if the separation between the two buttons were greater. For instance if the confirm button was on one side of the screen and the deny button was on the opposite side of the screen.

I don't like the new waze. Can't stop navigation after it starts.
I don't like the NEW Waze. Can't stop navigation once it starts unless I close the app completely. Make it bigger on the iphone so I can leave my phone on the dash while driving.
