TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads
Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.
Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!
For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all…

Terceira faixa --- Third track
Nas estradas onde não existem pista dupla, os motoristas ficam ansiosos para realizar ultrapassagens para evitar veículos lentos. As oportunidades de ultrapassagem podem ser previstas pelo waze que indicaria na tela a aproximação, inicio e fim da terceira faixa. Geralmente a terceira faixa existe em aclives, para que veículos lentos, caminhões etc mudem para a direito facilitando assim a ultrapassagem dos carros mais rápidos. Se os wazers pudessem programas as ultrapassagens nesses pontos que são fixos, a ansiedade poderia ser controlada e inúmeros acidentes evitados! ----- On roads where there are no dual carriageway, drivers are eager to perform to…

Android Auto lower render distance option
My Android Auto headunit is old and has low USB bandwidth, so when I'm out driving and I'm both using Waze on Android Auto and playing audio off my phone, when it has to render a large area my music will lag. Zooming in to freeze the map movement makes my music play again. This could be fixed by allowing us to either choose a "low performance" mode on android auto or letting us choose how far Waze renders non-map data on the map.
The fixes I've found online like disabling Bluetooth media to my car or swapping cables do…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Amélioration de la vitesse moyenne d'un parcours
Je fais un nouveau trajet qui va de cornebarieu Haute garonne à Labastide clermont Haute garonne.
Je prends l'autoroute et waze me fait sortir à la sortie 27.
Sauf que moi je sort à la sortie 26 parce que pour 3 kilomètres de plus je n'ai aucun stop ni aucun laisser la priorité. C'est beaucoup plus roulant.
DONC, MA SUGGESTION :
Que WAZE prennent en compte les stop et les laissez le passage entre deux trajets en privilégiant le trajet où il y en a le moins.
Compte tenu qu'en prenant la sortie 26, je suis sur une route large…1 vote -
Setting fuel types at gas stations
It is essential to be able to set fuel types at gas stations. So, for example, at a number of gas stations there are 3 types of fuel, at others 4. At gas gas stations there is only 1 type of fuel and showing others means confusing users when entering prices.
The indication of charging types for electric vehicles is wonderfully done. It would be great to implement this idea for regular gas stations.3 votes -
Road on route exclusion
For commercial vehicles in London there are many roads we arent allowed to drive down (such as the royal parks)
It would be great for this and other issues regarding traffic and other obstructions to install a feature that allows you to exclude a certain road from your trip, Allowing Waze to reroute you avoiding that a particular road if possible.
I had a TomTom 10 years ago that allowed you to do this and I used it regularly.

Highway turn arounds on Map
There are "turn arounds" on highways for authorized vehicles and many police sit there. My GPS shows these turn arounds but Waze does not. I can't use Waze as a GPS replacement because this is extremely valuable information. If the police are using instant on radar or lidar there are times when just knowing these are ahead is invaluable. Saved me more than a few times. It is the only thing the Maps are missing.

Partnering with Uber or Lyft or both
When a customer on the road, had a problem with the transportation, can provide immediate help.
How:
If any customer on the move and unexpected stop for more than 1 or 2 min on any road side (not in any parking lot, …), we can ask them, if they need any help like “Car Problem? Need a help with?”
Choices can be “Need a Ride” “Inform Police/Medical” (optional)
“Vehicle Problem” (another option to expand the business with AAA or local services)
This can be added a default service and choice should be given to customer not to, under notifications.…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.

speed improving
Hello!
We use the product https://www.waze.com and we like it, but noticed,
the site slows down due to maps and scripts. (link and skrin are added). There are large libraries that greatly slow down page loading (https://embed.waze.com/livemap/assets/vendor-f90e3789d81b39390076.js) Tell me, please, are you planning to improve the project in terms of download speed?
Let me tell about our good practice with speed up the site. After changing the image format from .png to .webp, the download speed increased. Perhabs, you can use that on you project.Best regards, Sergey Gook, CEO Evakyator.by

Would be handy to add hazards and notes on an area you've seen that day not current location
For instance driving from A47 to Brundall in Norfolk, along Postwick Lane there is a tree 1ft into the road. I knocked my wingmirror off there and so have others as people have passed oncoming vehicles. I saw many glass wingmirrors.
I've accidentally put this onto Theobald road Norwich.. could this be moved please to opposite Brundall Marina. I'd like to be able to warn others of this without having to be sat there in my car. Can you add hazards to alternative locations please that would be useful.

Toll booth waiting time
Everytime I stop at a toll booth, the app asks if there is traffic jam. Instead of that, it would be nice to have toll booths identified in the map and once near it, the app would calculate the average time users are spending on each site, excluding fast passages as they would represent tagged vehicles. To display it, a bar similar to traffic jam would do just fine. With that, the ETA would be less affected by long lined in toll booths.

NEW FEATURE
Add a new feature that allows waze to voice out hazards ahead like road kill, traffic, and stopped vehicles. Also, when police are reported ahead. This new feature would allow drivers to get all alerts even if they are not using the waze app as a navigation tool. Drivers would be able to set this feature on and off by Bluetooth in their car as well. This would be helpful for everyone driving even if they do not need a gps.

For motorcyclists using your services
To Whom it May Concern,
For motorcyclists using your services,
I highly recommend 2 alternative routes specifically planned for motorcyclists
1. In the situation for regular traffic do not change the recommended route. After all, we do now wait in line like regular vehicles.
2. In the case of heavy traffic, let the user choose whether to use the normal route or an alternative way. After all, though the ride in traffic is faster on a motorcycle than the ride in a 4 wheel car, it still requires the motorcyclist to slow down and be careful
Homework:1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Subject: Safety Concern Regarding Waze Prompts During Hazardous Driving Conditions
Subject: Safety Concern Regarding Waze Prompts During Hazardous Driving Conditions
On the morning of 18 May, we were on our way to Choa Chu Kang Peace Garden to pay our respects to my late mother on her first anniversary. It was raining heavily, and visibility was severely affected. I was fully focused on driving safely through the downpour.
During this time, the Waze GPS system repeatedly prompted me to confirm information it had picked up. Despite the poor driving conditions, these prompts continued without pause, which proved to be extremely distracting and dangerous. It diverted my attention at a time…

Prioritize freeways option
I drive large trucks and trailers on a regular basis, and in my CDL course we're taught to stick to state roads with a number or a letter, examples: state highway 10, county highway N. If it's got a name we probably shouldn't be on it. There's the button to avoid freeways, but I'd love the opposite as it would be a simple way to do truck/trailer/rv friendly routes.
Even in my personal car I'd prefer it as I prefer cruising over stoping/turning all the time. Also in my experience the state and county highways are usually more well maintained…

Navigate toll roads even when pass not entered in settings.
I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the road, stop freaking out…

Motorcycle based map and speed display scale and legibility.
I have 5" carplay units on both of my motorcycles. (no this is not a display size issue). My preferred map software in carplay, is Waze, as I want the most crowdsourced information such as cops, traffic, construction, etc. My only problem on the motorcycle with carplay/Waze display is that the map is way too FINE and small print, the speed is too small, and red/black which are fairly impossible to read as they're both dark colors.
My ask, and idea, and suggestion... either basically control over the display SIZE to make the fonts and boldness of the roads and…
