Hazard Locations
Hazards are currently listed as "on my side" or "the other side". Many hazards are in the median - I'd like to see that as an option.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
More realistic ETA for long drives
There should be a feature that allows you to choose in options, how many stops you make either per distance or time, and how long on average are those stops as well as whether you tend to drive slightly above or below the speed limit. Then allow Waze to make adjustments to the ETA based off those personalized settings. For example, I add about 25min per hour drive and it’s much closer to my expected ETA than what Waze provides.

Alert: Excessive traffic deceleration.
Irrespective of cause, unusually great deceleration of one vehicle is a hazard for the vehicles behind - at least on highways with average speed above that of city traffic.
Real-time alerts from the Waze system via our community of users may offer a unique opportunity to prevent (or reduce injuries and damage of) highway mass crashes.Various alerting criteria may be used e.g:
Client accelerometers (or GPS-speed time derivatives) indicating a deceleration greater than, say, the 80th percentile for that road (segment) or average speed level - established by Waze server statistics.7 votes -
Age limit on appstore
Please lower the age restriction on AppStore, to the same age it was a week ago (or maybe less)
Since you updated it to 17+, I can no longer use your app, due to the restrictions I put on my phone, to filter content.
Thank you!2 votes -
Speeding Camera icon
I suggest that the Speeding Camera icon can be more obvious or may be larger on map.. Coz I sometimes I mistook the icon as other wazers.. Or wazer icons are too much to cover over the speeding camera icon... Thank you for reviewing my feedback.

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

Can you please place Stoplight icons at all intersections including it along any 4 lane routes.
We don’t see stoplight icons on our maps like google and maps offer. They really help us know how many stoplights are ahead before having to make a turn. Also if the speed limit sign could stay on in upper RH corner the whole time that would be helpful while traveling through other states. Thank you! We are new to the app and love it otherwise.

Update reporting location
It would be great to mark where the report is, example, after observing a police speed trap, we should be able to mark where the trap is. Now Waze assumes it is right where I am when making the report, but that is not accurate.

Add safety message to remind local rules / habits
When the wazer is going to a new zone, Waze could remind him local habits : for example, in Paris, there is a lot of motorcyclists driving between the 2 right lane, Waze could say "Please pay attention to motorcyclists " ...
It could also be a reminder of the speed limit for this counrty when crossing a border.

Car pointer is in the other side of the screen
The problem is that when i use Waze on my car multimedia which is android, the pointer of the car is located on the right of the screen and on the left there is the search bar, I was trying to hide the search bar so the pointer is more in the center of the screen but could't find a solution. Its very inconvenient when you drive a left wheel drive vehicle and the pointer is on the passanger side. Hope you find a solution. I can share a picture if you need it, thanks!

Make the navigation time accurate
When using Waze, the initial projected arrival time is almost always incorrrect. As I drive, it continues to add time to my drive even though there is no traffic and I am going over the posted speed limit. The navigation calculation should be based on the posted speed limit and if traffic is bad, it should be accounted for. The way the app currently works, the calculated time is impossible even if you are speeding, which causes unnecessary stress and causes people to be late unnecessarily.

Latest version Release 4.94.0.3 Doesn't Work Correctly on Non-Touchscreen Android Auto
This version requires you to use the central rocker controller to switch to the side menu.
Once in navigation, the back up button brings up the command to hit it again to stop navigation, rather than backing up to the Android Auto menu.
You are stuck in Waze unless you move hands from steering wheel.
You should be able to switch to the side Android Auto menu to bring up another app whilst still in navigation and by using the steering wheel buttons like before - exit navigation should be by selecting the X button.
Speed limit alert also gone.…2 votes -
Next town setting
I would like Waze to be able to tell me the distance to the next city or town on a long road trip - especially if that city enforces a slower speed limit.

Hybrid Zoom Mode
Add a third option to the zoom choices. A hybrid mode that uses the closer of the speed or distance zoom. This would allow for the map to zoom in as you approach your next turn at highway speeds and also zoom into your location in slow traffic to show possible alternate routes, while otherwise staying zoomed out.

On this waze version, a new icon ( add friends...) located on the close to bottom right of the screen partially hides the speed meter.
Either get rid of this almost useless icon or at least move it up in such a way it does not overlap the speed indicator

I'd like to turn off the notification for a car on the side of the road but still listen to Rodger Federer's voice
The Car on the side of the road ding is so loud and obnoxious that I don't want to hear it. I still want to listen to the voice guidance. Please, either get rid of the ding or give me the choice to turn off alerts and still have the voice guidance.
