lessen # of waze icons on densely populated maps
Navigating Portland, Oregon is presently impossible for a newcomer. There are too many Waze driver icons, traffic flow icons, etc to be able to read street names and see where I need to go.
The software priorities should be street names and navigation, not seeing a bunch of pink happy faces.
I finally stopped using this app when I go to Portland in rush hour because it is not useful.2 votes -
I have an idea! I want Waze to develop an app that all US users can access that will help with Homeland Security.
I would love to see Waze develop a "WazeWatch" app that would allow users to post terrorist activity or home land security issues. If someone with the app see some suspicious activity they could put is on the "WazeWatch" app and all of the "WazeWatch" app users in the area could be alerted to the perceived threat. Then others in the area could agree or disagree with it. The real threats would be noticed by hundreds of citizens and they could take action and call the police, stop the activity before it can escalate or evacuate.
Imagine the mass shooting…

The Option to add gas prices and places when stopped on Android auto. Currently, I have to stop, turn my vehicle off and wait for my phone to stop trying to recconect to andriod auto, then I can open waze and add the place or gas price. I can do the same when I am stopped and looking at the gas price or the place but not when I am connected to the car.

Brand priority
Besides having a specific restaurant location as a favorite I would like to select a brand (ie: McDonalds) and have all the Mc Donald’s restaurants show up on the map. The MY STORES function can be enhanced to support brands and show all the locations. This would allow me to easily look ahead on my route the see if a favorite brand store is ahead and I can insert a stop

It would be nice if Waze would stop giving voice advises when I’m using Google assistant.
Please mute navigation instructions when Google assistant is active. Otherwise assistant picks up also navigation instructions as assistant commands
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! Waze will soon support Google Assistance voice control. To know more about this feature, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Edit Map Issues
Allow users to edit map issues.
When driving its illegal & hard to report specific details of issues along the route, so often I just choose hazard. However, I would like to be able to edit the info when I'm stopped, so it's easier for other drivers to understand the issue ie: car broken down, push bike illegally on highway, old tyre on road, elves in roadside bushes etc.
I haven't yet figured out (or if you even can) how to do this.

Adjust in app notifications
A way to turn off every voice notification. Here in Japan in the big cities Osaka, Tokyo and Nagoya there are off ramps everywhere. So every 15-30 seconds you hear “keep straight.” If there was a way to turn off those notifications until you need to exit or take an other highway that would be great. The constant voice guidance is VERY annoying so I stopped using Waze here in Japan.

Location Photos
Why, when I take a picture of the location I'm at (as Waze suggests I do to help other users identify this location) does that photo NOT save itself? Everyday I'm asked to RE-take the photo of my home and work. The feature isn't working on my Galaxy S5 and I'd love to see it stop asking me to take a photo everyday when I've already done it a number of times!

Suggestion:
It would help me if Waze could tell me to turn at next stop sign or traffic light. Or if it would tell me to go past this traffic light and turn at the next one. It also is hard for me to determine how far to go before turning. Like 450 feet or 1000 feet. Or 1 tenth of a mile, 4 tenth of mile. I sometimes turn too soon or miss my turn. Any suggestions?

911 option in app on iOS (to report accident)
I was stuck in traffic today and while stopped I witnessed an accident in the opposite direction involving a motorcycle - I closed the app to call 911 but traffic in my direction started moving before I could post update to map. I was wondering if maybe their is a way to report an accident through waze and maybe even have it automatically post a map update for other users to see (ie - using waze to call 911 would post a flag at that location as an accident)?

Send Help for someone else
Create a Send Help Button that alerts authorities or entities to the fact that someone is Broken down and needs help. This feature would allow others to click a button to send some help to a person stuck on the side of the road, when the person trying to help does not feel safe pulling over in the area where the help is needed. Or if the person trying to help is someone who feels uncomfortable in the situation and does not want to stop but wants to help. A Good Samaritan button

Adapting the application to an obstacle on the way, for example a garbage truck
Garbage removal trucks drive through the streets of the city every morning and sometimes cause traffic jams and travel delays because they enter streets where there is no stopping place that does not disturb the other drivers on the road (at least in Israel). I suggest that there be a function in the application for garbage truck drivers to be able to set their route and thus the Wize can direct the other drivers not to pass in the same place for at least 10-15 minutes so as not to get stuck in traffic

Red light timer
I propose a button that can be toggled to pop up when on surface streets, it is a simple light that you tap once to turn red, and again to turn back to green. The idea is you would press it when you see the light change, which is not necessarily when you stop or go. What this would do is help Waze better understand how long in various traffic scenarios a red light will take to get through. In some traffic, you may switch the light from green to red and back multiple times. This will also give an…

Sleeping baby option
Sometimes we leave the house at 1 pm to head somewhere 1 hour away but want the baby to sleep for 2 hours in the car so we drive around to let me him and use Waze to tell us when we would be there for 3 pm. A baby sleeping option I could tell it I want to be there for 3 pm and it would find me a route that would take 2 hours with minimal stop light/signs to get me there.

Improper hazard alerts for vehicles parked on road shoulders
In the city where I live, some roads have shoulders on one or both sides. We know that these areas are not traffic lanes, but are intended for vehicles to stop or park temporarily. However, every day, no matter which route I take, I keep receiving the alert “hazard reported – vehicle stopped.” I can see that people are reporting this incorrectly, since a vehicle stopped on the shoulder is not a hazard. This alert should only appear when a vehicle is stopped on the actual lane, truly obstructing the way. Therefore, I believe this warning should only exist for…

My idea is for Waze to stop limiting gas price reports. Reporting gas prices isn't the same as reporting traffic. When we hit the gas prices
My idea is for Waze to stop limiting gas price reports. Reporting gas prices isn't the same as reporting traffic. When we hit the gas prices button WAZE searches for gas stations in range and it ONLY brings them up if in fact they are legitimate gas stations. No one can just post gas prices to gas stations that are not there, so why should we be penalized and lose points because we have "reported to many gas stations in a certain time frame"? It doesn't make sense and WAZE should allow ALL gas price reports. After all WAZE is…

Please stop the keyboard from popping up after having done a voice search for an address or location
When using voice input to search for an address or location, this always results in the keyboard popping up, blocking the result(s) of the voice search I just did. Meaning, in order to see the result(s) to pick what I want, I always need to start by closing the keyboard.
Quite frustrating and would be so good if you could change this behavior!
