Thanks/Not There
Instead of having the alert (example “Vehicle Stopped) and then the two options (Thanks / Not There)… you should have Thanks on top, the alert in the middle, and not there on the bottom. This will reduce accidental misreporting. We’re trying to drive and can’t stare at the screen. Help us help you. 😀

Obsolete or erroneous report canceleation
Toulouse, France : at regular time traffic is displayed as jumped but sometimes it is not so it would be a good idea to give client the possibility to say "traffic is light". Another example concern some events obsolete like a car stopped on road that is no more here ...
Thank you for your very good job !

Add shuffle playlist option to Spotify integration
While the Spotify integration is a neat idea I would like it to have the ability to shuffle play a playlist. I have one large playlist of multiple genres that I basically use as a radio station. However, I don't want to play straight through it. I want it to shuffle so I hear different genres and artists. Currently that isn't possible.

Speedometer disappears on Android alAuto
Speedometer and speed limit disappears randomly on Android Auto.
Sometimes the problem can be solved by stopping, and changing zoom level by buttons that appear in place of the speedometer. This is not a GPS issue, as navigation works fine at the same time.
Seems to be triggered by Android Auto started after Waze, or Android Auto restarted when Waze is running (head unit restarts when I start the engine). But I'm not 100% sure.

Suggestion 1 – Wazer color:
I suggest that the Wazer avatar should not be displayed in blue, as this color may cause visual confusion, since it is commonly associated with police and speed cameras.
The avatar could be available in multiple colors, except blue, in order to avoid misinterpretation while using the application. Brazil1 vote -
Stop recommending Residential Streets
We have had 2 hit n runs in this last week (borderline totaled if not). These drivers do not live on our street. They use our residential street as a cut through.
Please stop recommending our Residential street!

Request cancelled webpage with more info
On follow my drive, if you type in the URL incorrectly, or if the other person turned off waze, you get a "Request Cancelled" message on the web.
I have an IT background, so I understand the meaning behind "Request cancelled". But most people I know have absolutely no idea what that means.
The page should say a bit more, in layman's terms. Kind of like a 404 page. For example:
Sorry, this user's drive is not currently viewable. This could be because of several reasons:
Check your URL. Maybe you mistyped it?
The user is not connected to Waze…

Your search - I drive for Uber & Lyft. I love & use waze all the time. However, I can't seem to turn off the voice while using waze. I would rather read the directions then be told multiple times on where to turn. How do I turn the voice off? - did not match any answers in Waze Help.

Fix “add a stop”
This isn’t a new idea, just a quality of life update that needs to happen. Please fix the add a stop search feature that will not just look for any option fitting the search description but the closest on the route and display or notify how much time is added to the trip. If I am in a new area and I am looking for a particular food stop or something, say srarbucks for this example, every stratbucks in the usa comes up in the search but they aren’t sorted by the closest on the route but rather anything any…

Add sunset/darkenss time
A small indication on the map saying for example "39 min to darkness" or similar would be great for many folks who hate to drive in the dark or have various issues with the eyes, or the headlights and need to know how long they can drive before they need to stop.
Also helpful in areas with wildlife / reindeers where driving in the dark poses significant danger to people who are not familiar with the area and not prepared to drive in the dark there.2 votes -
report more stopped cars
On m5 and M4 today there were lots of stopped cars, including some on the main highway. The system decided I had made too many reports and sent a stroppy message. I am the passenger in the car and it seems daft I could no longer report hazards for others

Bug with hazard confirmation
When prompted to confirm or deny if a hazard/report is still there, you’re able to press an option multiple times before the prompt goes away. The user is then awarded points for each time they pressed an option during the lifetime of the prompt. There should be a limit of 1 response for each prompt that is displayed.

How do I stop Waze from suggesting a route everyday that I Do Not want to take.
Waze tells me to take this back road everyone I leave my house and I want it to stop!
How can I change this?
It may be 'techinically' the fastest route, but what it doesn't know is that it is a very scary, windy, hilly, one lane back road that people barrel down and I don't ever want to take it.
I thought Waze was smart and would recognize my 'usual' routes, but it has not figured out that I don't like this road.
Ever.

Most hazard alerts should not expire
When a hazard alert, such as a construction zone or a stopped vehicle is posted, it should not simply expire. It should remain active until a user explicitly responds that it's "Not there."
There's no reason that a long-term construction project, for example, should have to be reported repeatedly day after day for months. The same applies to most types of alerts, such as broken traffic lights and potholes. Once the hazard is gone, users will say so. Until then, it should remain active.

Traze
I just recently stopped at a rest stop during a 5-hour drive to get some food. When I went in, I only went to the bathroom, then left, because an entire middle school was filling it up. Traze would be an add-on to the app that allows people to see whether or not a rest stop is crowded (Get it, Trays?)

Would like ability to add AREAS TO Avoid. Would be very useful when you want to avoid a huge backup that occurs on football night.
When traveling through Virginia the highways passed through multiple College areas when there is a football game the traffic can back up for miles on the freeway it would be nice to if we know there's going to be a football game we can highlight an area on the route and just click avoid

redlight calculation
Can you calculate red lights by using current users data when they stop and start?
When I drive home you then could give me an estimation on the speed to keep to hit green all the way or to hit green at the right time or wait the least amount of time at a red light.Some lights change every minute and others at different intervals but could you figure this out using gps data (speed etc.)?

Fix the Android Auto Coolwalk version
The new version that supports the split view for Android Auto Coolwalk is awful. It completely kills off the main reason why people use the app, reporting.
This version makes me less safe on the road because it requires more interaction on the screen for me to report items. Furthermore, the reporting button is now incredibly small, which requires more focus on the screen to hit it while driving. The combination of more time looking at the screen and having to focus directly on it is a dangerous combination.
The voice interaction in this version is broken as well as…
