Android auto usage: Last update is not ok at all. The route symbol is small and far, while it.s a button used often during the drive. The routes to be selecter have no longer different colors. It.s very hard to select the preferred route. The lanes are now in the most difficult corner to be observed, while again is something often to be used/seen. Please revert back everything.

Disable automatic Update Request route reporting on higher level roads.
Under certain circumstances, Waze seems to automatically submit automatic reports - but there seem to be too many of them (big time cost for editors that process and respond to URs following up for feedback, generally no response from the "reporter" because they didn't report anything themselves).
This specific request is to disable "Incorrect route", "Incorrect turn" or other similar problems on higher-level divided roads (Motorway, Major Highway, Minor Highway). When we have roadworks, the roads authority will often set up contraflow lanes on the opposing direction's roadway. This seems to produce numerous automated reports that have no value (because…

ezpass only roads (I-66 VA)
Waze should pop up a warning to tell users you MUST have an EZPass to use this road. This is a new issue that applies to I-66 in northern Virginia between I-495 (beltway) and DC. Effective Monday, December 4, 2017 this critical highway in the DC area used by many out of state folks, tourists and business folks alike, you must have an EZPass to get on this road. The tolls are dynamic during rush hour and have no price cap. Tolls can be $40 or more. Waze should warn drivers of this. Given the complexity of the …

Report police driving in the same direction 🚨
Today it's possible to report police driving in the opposite direction, but it would be good to also be able to report if they're driving in the same direction as yourself to be able to warn drivers ahead of you. Or maybe it should be all rescue vehicles, so people can give a clear lane for police, ambulances and fire trucks

[Feature Request] Moving Lane Guidance (See Example)
It would be nice if we could have moving lane guidance to make things a little clearer.
Waze is sometimes too slow or unclear/confusing to give me a direction on the road, causing me to miss a turn.
TomTom Go does this exceptionally well and I would love to see this implemented in Waze.
Sharing this on the forum for visibility. I also posted it to the Waze Suggestion Box on Uservoice.2 votes -
Stop changing routes automatically while I'm driving!
Waze needs to stop AUTOMATICALLY changing my route on me. It's frustrating especially when I chose the non-toll route on the way back. Then I look at the app and it's showing the route I did NOT choose!!

Record traffic warnings
How about the option to record our warnings? "There's a large piece of wood in the center lane." "There's an eighteen-wheeler on the right shoulder." "Everyone has to move to the left lane to go around construction."
Then, Waze would notify us - "Hazard reported one-half mile ahead - [playback recorded warning]."
Two things would be accomplished - the warning would be very specific, and it would require less attention diverted from driving.6 votes -
Suggestion: put the tolls on the itinerary, than we could guess how much to spend on the trip!
When you go somewhere and it has some tolls you could guess how much spend on the way, and waze could mark where the tolls are and the price.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Police traveling in unmarked cars
Add a feature for police traveling in unmarked cars in your lane. To warn wazers ahead of you within a certain speed radius. Not sure if that’s doable.

Routes on Android Auto
Would like the ability to choose from the slowest to fastest or toll free routes when connected to Android Auto. This is only possible on the phone when it is not connected to the car system.

Hazard duration
I've checked, and I can't seem to find this suggestion, if it's already here please direct me to it.
I like to suggest that the duration of some hazards be changed. In particular potholes and construction. Potholes where I am usually last for a month at least, and there aren't enough wazers to keep the ones that are already reported active, so an extended duration for potholes would it be helpful. Even if it were a day or two, it would let other wazers confirm that it's still there.
Construction, could last for a number of hours, or the remainder…

Risk classification system by areas
Risk classification system by areas:
Some countries like mine (Peru) have several areas which are either dangerous or ugly to go through. Since Waze algorithm is set to always find the best route regarding the traffic and shortest ways to minimze the time, sometimes it includes these kind of undesireble zones and and it can be really annoying or even scary.
Therefore, I suggest to implement a security location system based on the split and categorization of how safe or risky is each area.
At first, it's going to be necessary to make an initial investigation about the safety of…

private roads
Add an option like "Allow only private roads I have driven" or "Allow only private roads in my address book" so that Waze will avoid private rounds for which a user is not authorized.
2 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Need option to minimize tolls. Current settings are all or nothing.
Make an option to select some tolls. Currently waze offers all or nothing. For example, my commute either takes me up the turnpike for $13 or no tolls in a round about manner. I want to see an option with the garden state parkway only tolls which are significantly less money.

Setting for guidance to bring you to the front of location not across the street.
When the location you are going to is on a road with two or more lanes that go in opposite directions, any you are coming from the side that is across the street from your destination guidance will bring end on the opposite side.
This is very inconvenient if you are doing delivery or dropping off passengers and can also be dangerous if you do not go around.
Please include this in next update.1 vote -
Share route and location with friends.
Give an option to share not only your route but also your location on that route with your friends. This would be a safety feature. In the event that you don't make it to your destination, your friend could see your location. This idea is inspired by the loss of a fellow student who was in a one vehicle accident on her way home to visit for the weekend. Her car ended up under a bridge and she was not found for three days. With a safety feature that allows sharing of your actual location as you follow your route…

MILLED ROADS should be marked “unpaved”
Frequently, roads being repaved are first MILLED. They are intentionally “roughed up” before the new, smooth pavement is put down. Unfortunately, milled roads are very rough! I’m sure people who want to “avoid unpaved roads” want to avoid milled roads, too. Please consider adding a way to designate milled roads as “unpaved”. (Note that milled roads are only milled for a day or so; sometimes several days. So they would be “unpaved” only temporarily. Perhaps roads designated as “milled” could automatically revert back to “paved” 72 hours later.)

Oxygen Restricted Roads
A lot of drivers are now helping seniors and those with respiratory problems/disabilities that have oxygen tanks which are prohibited in tunnels that run from NJ/NY and possibly in other areas. There’s also some restrictions on bridges. Can you please come up with a Navigation button to “Avoid Oxygen Tank Restricted Roads”?
