Suggestions to Improve Navigation and Safety in Waze
I have a few suggestions to improve Waze: First, please keep the name of the destination visible while driving—sometimes it’s easy to accidentally choose the wrong location. Second, when a speed camera alert appears, it covers the current speed, making it hard to know if I'm speeding—please adjust the layout to keep the speed visible. Third, it would be helpful to have an audible alert when there’s a speed camera or police nearby, so drivers don’t need to keep looking at the screen.

Old notifications won't go away
Old notifications wont go away after passing them. Newer notifications won't show because the old is still in the screen. Sometimes the same speed camera alert can be on the screen for miles.

Fastest route regardless of toll fees
Currently Fastest Route takes toll amount and distance into consideration. Many times, better routes with much higher tolls + a longer highway detour is in fact faster.
While there is an option to opt out of tolls, there is no way to have the "Fastest" route regardless.
Fastest should mean really the fastest and not "according to what Waze thinks people might want".

Would like report icons to display when zoomed out further.
In v4.0, the minimum distance for icons to display has been reduced considerably from in v3.9. It is cleaner, which may be what you were going for, since a big design trend today is minimalism, but it comes with a loss in user experience.
As a user, I'd like to be able to see all report icons along my entire commute or a large part of at once, in order to minimize the amount if panning at a closer zoom, to easily hold the state of the entire route in working memory, and to easily compare alternate routes.

Add Rest Areas to Categories
Show rest areas and allow users set notifications for distances between rest areas or services (fuel, restrooms, food.) Driver fatigue is a significant contributor to vehicle accidents and some highways have few services or rest areas.

Mobile speed camera
You should add the capabilities to report Mobile speed camera and in Waze editor, to add the zone length and be alerted when entering this zone from any street.

Adding a Stop
Hello. I would like to suggest that Waze add the feature of choosing a stop along a primary destination route with options based on distance and minutes off of the primary route, similar to Google Maps. For example, I want to add a stop at Starbucks on the way to Target, and Waze only gives me the option of distance, not the minutes off it will take me.

Bug fix needed
Railroad Crossing alert is not dismissed after railroad is crossed, it remains at the bottom of the screen, occluding ETA, mileage and time remaining, etc., until Waze is killed. New alerts like hazards, police, etc., come and go in the foreground, but the railroad crossing alert is still there after the others are dismissed. Starting a new drive does not make it go away.

Change option speed limit /speed penalty
in europe I travel through many countries. Each country has different speed penalts. it would be good to have a chance change the speed limit to the value of the penalty, for example, if my speed is 150, it's not terribly. but when my speed value is 400 € for a penalty then I better slow down.it is good for Young people . they have no sense and no money. and it's best for safety. at maximum speed an alert is displayed ,,, withdrawal of driving license

End of the year, or end of month Recap
It sounds weird in a way possible, but just like Snapchat, Spotify, and other social media sites and music sites, I believe Waze should have an end-of-the-year recap.
What kind of data would this display?
Tickets Avoided: How many cops you were alerted about
Total Distance: How many miles driven with waze
Top Speed: If legal ;)
Avg Speed, Avg Distance, etc.. just some generic data
Then maybe some reporting recaps, like what months you were most active, what did you report the most, etc...I of course, may not be able to come up with all…

Replace unintuitive “not there” button symbol
When people are driving, symbols need to be instantly recognizable. For example, most of the report icons on the initial report display meet that requirement.
But when driving and you come across something like a partner feed alert and the app wants more info, the “not there” icon option is a stylized… purple and red, what?.. gloved?.. thumbs down hand that doesn’t intuitively convey “NO” and does not match the style theme of the other app icons. The first time I saw it when driving I could not figure out what it was, and what it was for, until I…

Feet to Yards please!
Please give us the option to select Yards (or metres) instead of Feet for distances in the UK. We have been brought up on using yards for distances under a mile (but we are able to use metres as they are similar). Feet as a measure is rarely used in the UK now.

Routine reminders/notifications/alarms
Along the lines of alarms... for repeated trips (like commuting) it would be great if Waze could alert you of potential delays and/or suggest you leave earlier for daily commute if it is seeing traffic/construction/etc.

Waze to issue Alerts when using CarPlay split screen
According to Waze support, when using Carplay split-screen (where Waze splits screen with other app like music), Waze won't issue traffic Alerts by design!! That's true, I have confirmed it. As soon as Waze returns to "full screen", it resumes issuing traffic alerts (danger, weather, radar, etc).
Split-screen is a quite usefull feature of Car-Play as it simplifies greatly audio/music control on the road, without the issue of messing with several buttons.
Although in split-screen mode the screen area that Waze has to show information is reduced, there is no reason why Waze could not keep issuing the …7 votes -
Move Icon
A way to move the icon that you just reported. When I am a passenger, I don't normally open Waze. So when I see something to report, I am usually late reporting it due to loading on my phone or just finding my phone. Would be nice to be able to move the icon to where the alert should be.

Tagging editors in a map comment
It would be nice if there was a possibilty to tag an editor (e.g. an AM) in a map comment box. A type of alert can be a notification or an email, depending on the user's settings.
