Speed Bump Permanent Hazard Notifications Persistence
The notifications for speed bump style permanent hazards should not stay on screen, once the driver has already driven past it. It does not add any meaningful information to the drive and only acts as a distraction or blocks part of the screen.

Make business names/logos in ads larger.
Besides placing the product in an ad, also insert the company or logo AND.. make them large enough to be seen on a small screen.
I'd like to help the Waze developers/company prosper by advertisers knowing their ads are seen.
Being crowned for several years now I've seen many, many ads, but only a handful of times been able to answer the question: "Have you seen this product/company". And by "a handful" I mean five times or less. In seven years and hundreds of thousands of miles.4 votes -
The audio, which supports the information on the screen, should ALWAYS communicate in miles, and NOT minutes, concerning the next turn.
Communicating in miles is always accurate. Communicating in minutes requires assumptions, e.g., driving speed and absence of stops. You should always eliminate assumptions when you have the option to do so.

Make the "speed camera" warning smaller in landscape
Hi :-)
I've been using Waze for a long time and I enjoy using it a lot.However lately the bar that shows arrival time has grown, leaving less space for the map.
That's not the worst though. The worst is that, when nearing a speed camera or speed enforcement zone, the warning covers almost half the screen, pushing the speedometer behind the directions. As you can maybe surmise, I'd really like to be able to see how fast I'm going when nearing a speed camera.
I use the app in landscape because that's the least intrusive way to…

Add town name
It would be great to add the TOWN NAME to the street name at the bottom of the screen. Often times, when travelling long distances, it's unclear what town one is in.

Parking Entrances and Most Common Parking Locations
When driving to a destination, the street address does not always correspond to the street where you park. In the case of someone in a condo (like me), the garage entrance is at the side of the building, not at the front. The roads you take to the address is not the same as where you would go if you want the parking garage (some one way streets would require you go around the block).
While I could mark home as the side street, there are similar problems for retail stores, where because of divided roads, parking lots,…

Parking spot
The find your car when you cannot remember where you parked is a great idea! I’ve needed it a couple of times already. However, it is not working… the car is there in the map, but the directions to walk to it, do not appear in the screen. I’ve tried the only thing that seems appropriate, which is to click on the car’s icon, but the only option in there is to send your location to someone else. I wish you could make this feature a little bit more user friendly. Thank you!

“Obstruction Ahead” button
Need a quick way for driver to reroute when confronted by impassable conditions or traffic jams. This should be via a button available on the main screen. Thank you.

Add "mileage countdown" for upcoming points of interest
Allow users to enter in a number of miles as a countdown timer.
For example, if you see a sign that says "next rest area 35 miles ahead", you could enter "35" into the mileage countdown. Then display this on the screen and count it down to zero.
This will allow users to see how many miles until their next point of interest.

Weigh vehicle position to show more of road ahead.
Weigh vehicle position towards back of map to show more of the route yet to travel rather than center of map when in a north-up mode. Currently the cursor is in the center of the map showing much of the route you have traveled. This would make better use of the small screen to show what's ahead.

App Freezing
Since the last update, the app just locks up when I try to remove “recent drives”.
I’ve restarted my device but it makes no difference.
Each time I have to restart the app to get back to the navigation screen.1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Show only Icons/Alerts next to me
Sometimes when I'm using Waze it shows too many icons/alerts on the screen! why not show these alerts just next to me rather all over the map? Thank you!

keep the road ahead clear
the driver is now an arrow in the middle of the map screen when navigating/driving- keep the driver at the bottom of the screen so the more of the path ahead is visible. (not interested where the driver has been rather where he/she is going) Also, the banners of alerts hide a large section of the map screen.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

"Are you going Home" dialogue box stays on the screen until you cancel it
The "are you going home" dialog box pops up when you're driving and won't time out it forces you to have to cancel it each time. Please set a timer on it so it goes away on its own.

Ability to add on-device music players to the icon on the map screen
You currently only have the option to add subscription-type audio apps to Waze audio icon (Spotify, Amazon Music, etc).
Would like the ability to add normal apps to this icon too ... eg Musicolet, etc or even direct Bluetooth music playing.
Not everyone uses a subscription service to listen to music on device
