Enable drawing polygon areas where Closures cannot be applied
Use-case:
There is a bridge under construction where only one direction is open at a time, controlled by traffic lights. Currently, Waze often shows it as closed, even though cars are just waiting for the light to change.
Proposal:
Add a feature in WME to draw a polygon-shaped area where closures cannot be applied — useful for cases like temporary one-lane bridges with traffic lights, where Waze should display a queue instead of a closure.

Don't connect to the speaker when voice is muted
I like to listen to music streamed via bluetooth from my phone. While running waze, even though I have the spoken navigation disabled, every time directions would've been announced, the music volume dips briefly. It appears that waze is trying to attach to the speaker even though it isn't saying anything. Please have it check for being muted before taking control away from other applications that use the phone's audio.

Ride share directly from car's screen
Great app! One thing you should consider to add, a functionality to share your ride directly form car’s screen (CarPlay in this case); is very off hand to start a ride and if you want to share it with someone, you have to go back to your phone to do so.

When one is approaching a turn off point this is especially important at night
When one is approaching a turn off point we need a more clear indicator of the branch of road that we are supposed to take where they're going left or right especially at night when the maps are often not clear or we return it comes very suddenly and you're relatively new one some kind of new color or flashing pulsating being would make it clear that I need to go off of the road I'm on towards the New Direction
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.

Community-generated driving route recommendations
Is it possible for Waze (though, this definitely needs approval and careful study) to include a feature for the drivers to suggest or make possible route recommendations? Anyway, Waze is community-generated. Google search results are often inaccurate, based on the reports that we have been receiving.
As the driver, always (or often or most of the time) know the possible route or driving direction. And possibly with this, other wazers will be able to contribute to the route. A wazer may suggest a possible route for others to follow.
I just thought of having some sort of 'crowd sourcing'…

We need Leslie Jordan to navigate for us.
How fun would it be to hear him say, "well, ****, you missed your turn"?

Implement user-configurable delay (in increments of 0.1 sec) for voice alerts
Some vehicle Bluetooth implementations have lengthy handshaking which prevents the first second or two of Waze voice alerts from actually being heard. My car has a feature that ramps up the volume of a Bluetooth phone incrementally on first connection. However, the impact is that in most driving situations, the first two seconds are simply too quiet to be heard!
For example, instead of "In 500 metres, turn right onto Main Street.", all you hear is ".. to Main Street". Obviously, this information is unclear and confusing, forcing the driver to glance at the map on the phone to verify…

Village ahaed "notification"
Hi, I'd welcome some kind of (optional) notification that there is a village e.g. 500m ahead. Why? I do not like extensive braking when a village appears 50 meters (when it was not visible earlier) ahead and I need to slow down from 90km/h to 50km/h. I'd rather start to slow down earlier and fluently drive to the village without using brakes too much. Rather use "freewheel".
This could be extended to "lower speed ahead", e.g. when o a motorway speed goes to 100 from 130 :)
Thanks :)

Map should prioritize route ahead on screen
In addition to "Keep map north up" on or off (the only options I see currently), I'd like an option that does an offset to navigation direction (map north up "off") where it tries to fit more of the road ahead on the screen.
I regularly drive curvy roads and it shows me no warnings ahead on the highway when the road just curves left or right straight off the screen. What I'm suggesting would not keep North up, but keep the road ahead up and on-screen more often. This is probably more helpful on highways than in towns, so…

Convoy
Convoy Feature
A set of features to allow a group of travellers to monitor/follow each other via the Waze App. Many holiday makers, but also clubs & professional organisations often need to travel together, and need to be able to track & monitor that the "convoy" members remain together, and is up to date on the latest location, destination, as & when things may change or issues may arise.
Up to 6 Wazers can enable "participation" (location sharing) with a "Leader" that would invite them to join a "convoy".
Each Wazer can then see/monitor the other vehicles & leader, and…3 votes -
Feedback and Feature Suggestion for Improved Map Interaction
I wanted to share some observations and a suggestion that could enhance the user experience when searching for locations with multiple branches, like Safeway.
I noticed that Apple Maps stands out by showing the user’s current location in relation to multiple search results on the map, which helps give a quick visual understanding of where you are and where you’re headed. However, it currently lacks the ability to tap directly on a location pin on the map to begin navigation. Instead, users must choose from the text list, which can be confusing if you’re unsure of the exact address or …

Add Regular Route
I hope I can explain this well.
I have my regular route to work and back set by waze everyday. By now I have driven the route hundreds of times and know how to get to work. What I would like is to save this regular route (or whatever you want to call it) and not hear direction commands (exit in 4.1 miles, turn left. etc..) unless there needs/has to be a change in my route because of traffic/an accident/construction.
I don't know if this is already a feature or not but it would be super awesome. It kind of…

Ability to place a road closed location remotely
The road ahead of me was closed due to a fatal accident with closure notification / diversion starting approx 5miles before the accident. No waze user had got close enough to post a “road closed” so waze constantly tried to redirect from diversion route back onto closed road before the accident. Suggest ability to post road closure ahead and if closure if single or both directions.

Lord Commander Jon Snow voice navigation
Please may we have a Jon Snow voice command for navigation to give us directions, warn us of obstacles, and lead us on our journeys. Add one more title to his ever-expanding name: King of the Road. If anyone is deserving of this title, it's him. Thank you for looking and considering!

Add Completely Custom Routes
I would like the option to draw my own route. I often use Waze, not just to get places I've never been, but to time my arrival to places locally and be alerted to traffic incidents.
Overall I love Waze, but I can't use it much because it wants to "optimize" my route, which often takes me straight through dangerous construction areas (single lane concrete barrier interstate death chutes). We have a ton of construction in my area right now on almost every major road. I don't want to avoid all highways or interstates or even all of one interstate,…
