Good navigation only, do not patronize your users
Please stop showing messages and alerts saying things like “turn on your headlights” or “ drive with attention, requiring users to press OK” User are not children that need to be raised. Just keep on giving us excellent navigation, nothing else. Come on WAZE, you can do it

Map & Command more like Google!
PLEASE READ & VOTE!!
Instead of “Turn right / left in .1 miles” (esp. for in-town and city driving) change to Google-like commands (e.g.- “At the next light / stop sign, turn right/left) and SHOW Device - light or sign at corners - on the map, as such - sign or light).
Doing so also helps to know HOW MANY lights or signs remain between you and your next turn.
It’s impractical to watch your mileage in these conditions. It’s more “natural” - as when someone is telling you directions in the passenger seat - to look for the next…3 votes -
Error/ommision within your Reporting functionality..
Latest Waze update on Android Auto. Reporting functionality. Okay, so you've changed 'Report car stopped' to 'Report VEHICLE stopped, which makes more sense BUT..
Where as before one could report Car stopped on road OR Car stopped on shoulder, but now one can only report Vehicle stopped on SHOULDER! (There is NO ability to report Vehicle stopped on ROAD (which is more important than a vehicle stopped on shoulder).
This is so with Android Auto, in my Astra.
(I have just looked at this on my phone, and 'stopped on ROAD' is present on my PHONE but not within Android…1 vote -
New alerts/reports
You should add some a like new report that an ambulance is stopped ahead, Hurricane/Earthquakes alerts also while driving because they might notice the earthquake or a big rain is oncoming, also add a anti-autoclicker because some Waxers uses them as points as possible.

In Chatham township Nj please stop directing people to turn onto spring st off of Lafayette instead of driving straight to southern Blvd- yn
In Chatham township stop directing cars to turn onto spring st from Lafayette Ave instead of staying on Lafayette until southern Blvd to make a right. You are directing too many cars onto quiet residential streets- please keep the traffic on the main roads in residential neighborhoods- the speed limit on the quiet streets is 25 vs 35 on southern blvd

Ads too small to see while driving
Whenever I stop, an ad pops up on Waze. Of course I don’t want ads, but if you are going to do them make them much simpler and larger so the driver can read them. They are crowded with content and tiny which make them useless.

James Hetfield of Metallica user voice.
Hi waze, it would be very cool to have a James Hetfield from Metallica (or with other band members too) voice navigation. The car could be a little guitar. And I can here James already say: « Next stop, turn right. Yeheah! »
Or Lars saying « Turn left dude! »Thank you.

Put icon on Waze that will close the app
Please devise a simple way to close Waze when no longer needed (such as a special "button" or small icon). There are many times when I know my way for part of the route but cannot stop Waze from continuing to use up my IPhone battery.

2 ideas for routing
Have an option to base economic routes on the cars MPG. It would basically be googles econ route but made tailored to your MPG rather than on car average. Another thing would be to add traffic lights and stop signs to account for on the trip.

No menu/No Nav – Allow use of Menu below 5mph and when stopped
Love you guys … but … the latest update … not so much.
Catch 22. My Android Auto doesn't startup Waze until I am moving forward and by that time the Waze Menu option is (now) no longer available. I then ask Waze to “Navigate to Home” and Waze responds with my Home address (BTW it is also saved), states “Oklahoma” (not “OK”) and then returns to “non-navigation”/map display mode. I also can’t get to the saved addresses. So overall, Waze mapping efficiency has dropped significantly.
So whereas it used to be (2022) a simple “3-second button press sequence”; 1)…

Add option to "stop re-routing" once travel has begun, unless I deviate from it.
If you are like me, and like to review your route and prepare for it, especially in an unfamiliar place, sudden route changes that can save you 5 minutes can cause more trouble than it's worth. Let's add an option to "lock route" once you chose it and start driving, and don't recommend a quicker one unless I deviate from the preset route. This keeps you more comfortable on the route you have prepared for, so you don't have to worry about sudden changes in unfamiliar territory.

Police notifications after the spot
Wish there was a way to move the report location. Many times the police running radar are stopped at a location on the interstate. By the time I get to post the report I've traveled maybe up to a quarter to half mile past the spot. No use to those behind me.

Music
When listening to music thru Waze…. When you stop, the music window minimizes, and the ad pops up….. however, when you start driving again, the ad window minimizes…. But that’s it! Can we make the MUSIC WINDOW pop back up when we start moving again?

Bring back the passenger exception
I use android auto and my wife copilots using her phone. Now she cannot use her phone to scan for places to stop or check for obstacles especially in an rv. Waze is now useless for road trips. Back to another map because waze is the only one w this restriction.

State what the alert is for
preferred version that stated the alert (object on road/car stopped on shoulder etc) so I don't have to look at the device to determine why it is alerting me. Also would like a way to touch screen to give thumbs up/confirm without having to look at device.

Do not turn the map before you have actually turned.
Currently, when you arrive at a crossroads, the map turns as soon as you stop. If you are not looking at the screen, you will make a mistake. The same thing happens at small roundabouts. The vehicle could almost go straight ahead, but the map turns for no good reason.
