Hide search bar
I keep seeing this response to multiple users about the search bar that does not go away: “ Thanks for the suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation”. The bar does NOT go away after 30 seconds. It takes me 20 minutes to drive to work, and it will not go away.

Expensify integration
We use Expensify to report our expenses including milage reimbursement. It would be great if the recorded drives could be used in Expensify.

After the last update waze has become worse
Dear developers.
(If you are still reading this)
No offense, but, after each update,
waze, it is getting worse and worse.
a feeling that you want to screw up this application,
that all was abandoned.
I confess, and I have such a thought slips, carry waze and go on something else. the good thing laid a lot.
Lord, developers do not need to invent or anything, just carefully read the user reviews.
After the last update waze began to fail even more. It lost a lot of functions, such as viewing events. the interface is not convenient! stael more children,…6 votes -
In S. FLA at least when suggesting different routes take account of the time of day any whether the route will go past or near a school
Changing a rout to drive by a school is bad

tolls
There is a difference between express lane tolls and bridge tolls. Can you separate the two when it comes to avoiding tolls. If you set it to avoid tolls, it will avoid both express lane and bridge tolls. If you need to drive across a bridge, it will send you many, many miles around to avoid the bridge toll, when you really only want to avoid the express lane tolls.

Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Based on daily accident reports, mark areas with a high frequency of accidents as high-risk. Provide a voice warning: "You are approaching a dangerous area with a high concentration of traffic accidents - drive with increased caution!"In urban conditions, it can also be applied to dangerous intersections: "Dangerous intersection ahead."
For turns where accidents are often marked: "Caution, dangerous turn ahead!"
These voice warnings could greatly contribute to the safety of road users. It is important that they have a voice alert before entering the specific section.

New state notification
I would love to get a notification when entering a new state while driving, such as "welcome to New York," I find it helpful when navigating to know when I have reached a new state

Switching between motor profile and car mode
Now the motorcycle mode is available, multiple cyclists report the need of quick switching between motor and car mode to avoid driving in the wrong mode. Suggestion: once the motor mode has been active, startup the client with a message "What will you be driving this trip?" Defaulting to the last mode used and giving alternatives "Motor, Car" and checkbox (forget I'm a motorbiker)
10 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.

Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event
Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.
Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze failed…

Electric car planning with chargers and battery info
I would like to use Waze like ABRP. For me Waze is the best GPS software to drive my car with. But nowadays I have an electric car and need to plan my trip with the battery level and consumption and the available electric chargers on my way. So I would like to see WAZE able to plan my route, adding to it the needed chargers to reach the destination, for example knowing the initial battery status, the consumption of the car it will be easy to understand when to charge and can add any of the available chargers to…

Road Colouring on Average Speed Check Zone
When driving in an average speed check zone, Waze doesn’t say when you have left it - so can be driving for miles past the end.
Can Waze change the colour or pattern of the road to show drivers when they are in the zone and not just passing the cameras.16 votes -
record a certain path and use later.
I use almost every day the same path to work, but it does not appear in waze because it is a combination of various paths. it was very useful to be able to record my way and know the transit of it before starting to drive.

Regular commute notification
Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.
Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days a week from…

Turn Signal about 200 feet sooner. 350 Feet Perfect!!
I was using Waze and I was having issues with the turn signal at 150 ft. I was missing turns. I drive for Uber. Please give me another 200 feet like google. 350 feet is perfect I'm not distracted by watching the Waze GPS.
At 350 feet I know it's time to slow down and put my blinker on. Now Waze gives the signal to turn at 150 feet I have to put my blinker on and turn immediately. I've missed a few turns. I feel it is unsafe when driving at Rush Hour or through crowded areas like Jersey…6 votes -
Driving lane information
It would be great if a user that put notification about stopped vehicle, could also mark on which lane the event happened or is present, for example: stopped on the side, on the first lane, on the second lane or third lane

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…

Enable creation of a hyperlink to send to friends to meet up. They can click to navigate usin new web based non app you will develop or ....
So you can share meetups on an email create a location hyperlink button for email meeting up "create location hyperlink". This goes to wase app if thry have it or allows downloading of waze or maybe you can make a web lite version for basic navigation. Or google maps link that promotes waze. You'll still get them to download waze eventually but makes a quick user enhancement without any development time.
