Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.
I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

More advance notice on warnings while driving
For more time to respond while driving to safety warnings it would be great to allow them to come in a mile or so in advance. This would allow accurate time to respond and safely transition to another lane… It would be good also if this was available for police warnings as well.
Thanks!

Ability to grade roads
It would be nice to be able to grade the quality of a road. I always avoid taking up certain suggested roads, just because I know their quality is not good and prefer staying in traffic 3 more minutes than wrecking my car.
Thanks

Maximum tolls want to pass or maximum tolls fees want to use.
Please let us got more choice on the routes.
Example in Malaysia, Melaka to Selangor have two type of routes ,One is tolls to tolls, others is No tolls routes.
If choose no tolls routes then the whole routes will no pass any tolls but otw that should have a tolls that maybe Rm0.65 and Rm2.1 can cut short the routes. Which mean that have pass a tolls but the cost is less and save times.
Hope you understand what i want to said.

Improved lane guidance for consecutive intersections
An example is three consecutive intersections coming with very short distance (e.g. https://www.waze.com/en/live-map/directions?latlng=56.923461945338325%2C24.165415763854984 going from Krasta Iela to P (Akropole) it's important to stay in the correct lane in all three intersections. Otherwise, you will either end up doing a U-turn, continue towards Salaspils or end up on Slavu Iela towards Dreilini.

Like Apollo beach Blvd. to central which crossed Ty 42 at a stop sign turning left into two lanes of heavy traffic. Vs. turn left on ******* to light at rt411 vote -

Add "Help me" button
I use Waze all the time while i drive the roads around Israel and i see people stuck on the road a lot. but i cannot always stop and assist since i am driving too fast or on the far lane when i cannot reach them. this "help me" button will pop up (like any other report) and ask for help: maybe a person needs a jump, or a ride to somewhere, or help changing a tire. the respondent will have an "on my way" button to come and help that person.

Add the Grand Parkway 99 in Harris county Tx. I switched to google maps until you add - doesn’t make sense not to as all toll roads in Tx are options.

Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and accessible…

Allow users to check if they passed through ULEZ or Congestion charging from a completed journey by analysing the entire route taken
It would be very helpful and convenient to add a feature where waze analyses a completed journey and shows the user if they passed through particular tolls I.e. congestion charging and ULEZ as many people get confused about this and end up paying the charge anyway incase they did pass through them.
It would save people money and act as a fail safe.
I myself have paid many times although I have routed to avoid the tolls but the way wake works by diverting often to avoid traffic it adds tge risk of passing through the charging zones.

Malaysian Accent for Malaysian Roads Please
Why not use Malaysian voices for Waze in Malaysia? Right now the female voice option I choose for Malaysia pronounces Jalan Sultan Ismail as "Juh-lane Sull Tonne Izz Mail" and it annoys me.

Give us back familiar voices.
Many people have expressed their disappointment and frustration that the voices in Waze have been changed with claims that the new voices are more "natural". On the contrary, many of us feel the voices are cold and we want the former versions back. We use the Italian Sofia and the new voice has no warmth or connection for us. Many other users have said the same of the English Thomas and Kate and other voices from varying languages. Please return our familiar navigators! The world is alienating enough without these changes!

New setting
Please make a setting so that I can choose to reroute only if it saves 10 or 15 minutes or more. I drive in the city and I think it' can be dangerous (suddenly needing to change lanes to turn, for example), and definitely distracting when it re-routes every 5 seconds. It's not that important to save 2 minutes unless you are an ambulance!

Find a way to avoid spurious hazard reporting of cars stopped on the shoulder when parked safely and posing no risk to drivers
It seems I'm many times a week on freeway journeys seeing situations where a hazard alert will come up for a car stopped when the car in question is safely parked (usually with no occupant outside or in proximity) 4-5m away from the road itself presenting zero actual hazard to road users whatsoever. It often gives a 'for the sake it' type of feel (as if reported someone's kid is in the passenger seat bored). It is pretty annoying and often jolting when it happens say more than 5 times in a 1 hr journey whilst you're driving along concerned…

Waze suggestion to make it better
Hi, I've been using Waze for a couple of years and I think it's a great app with great features but I'm having trouble with an old issue that needs to be addressed. I live in Romania and here we have a couple of weird intersections with multiple lanes and even overlapping lanes and on my 10" display it's hard to see which one to take to be on your way. Sometimes I need to manually zoom in and then reset to the original position. It would be great if in the near future Waze would do this automatically. Center…

Better customization options in the settings
I think you should be able to customize your own GPS to be able to avoid certain streets and also to always take Highway as first route priority

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I love the app…

supermarkets, Backery status for covid19 crisis
The idea is to known the amount of people and stock in supermarkets and bakeries open near everybody before go out to purchase any product, in this way we can avoid have any lots of people waiting in dangerous queues with high virus transmission possibilities.
