Idea to improve destination time accuracy
your start time with delays to destination time changes as you travel due to new incidents along the way. For people using waze for mainly work and back everyday it would be great if you could record the destination time when you first switch on waze and then record the actual destination time when you arrive. use this as an average over a few weeks to give the user a more accurate time to reach destination

Early Alert for Standstill Traffic Following Accidents on Motorways
Possibility to treat standstill traffic as an alert when there is an accident ahead. When an accident occurs on a motorway and traffic queues start to form, the key is to receive an alert about the standstill traffic. Ideally, this should happen at a greater distance than usual.

As a biker I don’t want Waze to open last recent destination when starting Waze to prevent me to take off my gloves to scroll down the list.
Add an option to prevent recent destination menu to appear when starting Waze.

Waze maps to closest street instead of named street
I have noticed a few times lately that Waze seems to map the directions to the closest street to the gps point of the address, which is not always the same as the street the address is on. This means, for instance, that where there are houses which are set back from the street, Waze often maps to a neighboring street instead of the correct street, because it's closer to the marker.
In one residential neighborhood with houses set back from the street, one address is mapped to a nearby condo complex behind the house. Another house is mapped…

Warn a user if he/she cannot drive exactly to a target because of traffic limitations
If a target is located on a walking trail or a street not allowed for private cars, warn a user on the start of navigation and again when approaching the target that he/she is led to the nearest available point because of the above obstacle.

Waze sleeping mode shortcut for ios shortcuts
Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?
I am using apple shortcut to start waze when I connect my phone to the bluetooth headset in my car. I am using navigation everytime I enter my car and looking for any way how to close waze, or stop location services - sleeping mode or any other solution to stop draining my battery. In apple shorcuts is no way to close app. There are several waze shortcuts but all of them is related to navigate somewhere, add point…4 votes -

Motorcycle Horizontally Mounted Phone
Dear Waze Team,
I use Waze on my motorcycle and would like to make two suggestions to improve Waze for all motorcyclists. I mount my phone horizontally on my motorcycle handlebar. But the problem I experienced with the phone being mounted horizontally is that the map on Waze is not completely visible.
The search destination bar at the botton of the screen is covering a lot of the map when there is no destination entered. Would it be possible to make a small enter destination button at the side of the screen for example below or above the speedometer instead…

Auto North Button
Please give the option to Auto North Adjust the map without using the "Keep map north up" setting.
Same concept as the Re-Center button, but "Re-Rotate" the map view to North Up temporarily.
For example: Apple/Google Maps have a compass icon that you can press to re-rotate your view back to north up.
(It also shows which direction the map is pointed in, which would be nice to have)1 vote -
the operation of the classification tape has changed adversely
It is unpleasant that the meaning of the upper ribbon has changed during navigation. So far, the classification signal has shown in which lane I should move according to my current situation. This has changed and now it shows that at some point, when I have to change direction, in which lane I will have to be classified. This is very distracting while driving and dangerous for accidents. Please restore the previous system!

Traffic Alerts
Give drivers the option to manually enter a traffic incident ( police, speed camera etc) on the map rather than only allowing the them to report an incident on their tracking location. This can allow a driver to go a different direction or go past an incident and still enter an alert accurately for other drivers. Also allow an option for speed camera alone, because it is difficult to differentiate from police or a speed trap.

listed directions
the "next turn" needs to read what can be seen through the windshield .... EG US183 in Lampasas Tx is LOCALLY called "Bell Street" but unless you are arriving at US183 from an in town intersection, the sign is 'US183' when arriving via US281.
ALSO ... and I have screenshots for this ... but do not see a place to load them.
a route from Hamilton, TX to Austin, TX directs through Lampasas, TX. Hamilton to Lampasas on US281, THEN take US183. Directions this weekend showed a turn onto US183 about 30 miles SOUTH of Lampasas. Waze omiited the…

Time saved vs detour tolerance slider
The biggest complaint I hear from non waze users is that it routes you a zig zag through a neighborhood or takes you off/on the highway to save 20 seconds.. I use it everywhere I go myself, still worth it BUT I do get annoyed when a significant amount of twists and turns if they don't end up being necessary.
I suggest a slider in settings in which the user could say "keep me on the most direct route unless it saves me at least" 3 minutes.. 5 minutes.. 10 minutes etc.
In order words allow me to set my…

Address lookup with Google Search (Android Auto)
When searching for an address on your phone you get an option to search using Google rather than Waze which is very helpfull as very often I've found Waze can't find an address or location entered but Google nails it just about every time... I would even like to make Google the default if I could as it's a lot more reliable..
For now, just having the ability to search for your entered location or address via Google when using Android Auto would be a good start :-)

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open…4 votes -
Current location display. A floating arrow on a line just isn't good enough.
Current location display. A floating arrow on a line just isn't good enough. Please include a banner which displays the current road you’re driving on. Many times you enter branching subdivisions, complex Interstate crossings or streets where their names aren’t visible. A current street location banner answers the questions where am I, did I turn onto the street, without having to ‘figure it out’ deciphering the map or entering a driving direction.
