Add Pete Najarian as a Waze voice option for directions. I floated the idea on Twitter and he gave at least initial interest.

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.

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,…

Please fix Waze CarPlay lag
CarPlay lags almost a full minute upon input. Your position in the map is also delayed. So turn by turn directions will be missed. Waze CarPlay is almost unusable.

Add authorized Vehicles only entrances on highways to map
When driving on a highway where the two directions have land in between them and often there are many trees in that area, it would be good Sea on the map where the entrances are for authorized Vehicles only that go from one side of the highway to the other side of the highway. This is often where maintenance Vehicles Park and also law enforcement vehicles. It is often hard to see if there are any vehicles parked there until you actually pass the area especially if there are a lot of trees there.

Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

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.

A driver in the express lane without a transponder configured receives a notification that a transponder is required
If Waze detects that a driver is in the express lane but the driver does not have a transponder configured in the app, provide an alert telling the driver a transponder is required.
Alternatively, let a driver know at the start of a drive that a given route could be faster if they had an ezpass transponder configured.2 votes -
Ability to Mark Playground zones
Hello, I would like to see the ability to mark the start and finish of playground zones, very similar to marking school zones. Some playground zones are marked with times and others are marked from sunset to sundown which can pose a local problem depending but in general can still be marked using seasonal general times.

alert the destinations energy management system of my ETA
When an office employee clicks "Work" as their destination, Waze should send a message to the building automation system with that workers ID (coded, or their name, or desk number) and the building automation system can calculate the pre-start time needed for the HVAC system to ensure the space is up to temperature when the employee arrives. This will prevent unnecessarily early starts, also will start the system if they come in early, or on an unscheduled day. When Waze becomes aware that the user is leaving the building, the HVAC can stop. If the employee stays home,…

After setting your destination, set the tabindex to the GO button.
When you finally tell waze to navigate, it has this additional pop up. The popup does not have the hightlight/active button on the go button (to start navigating), but on the favorite (star) button. This is unintuitive. I had to use the dial while driving, hopefully find the GO button, and then press enter to start the navigation instead of just pressing enter in one go.

menu on startup
Waze Start automatically with Android Auto and That is good, but we don't need to navigate every drive. So, the menu Where to each time is unnecessary and pressing the X to remove it each time is annoying.
If you think is save time, make the menu disappear after a few seconds if not been used.2 votes -
Resuming your current drive
When my current drive was interrupted, waze used to ask if I wanted to resume my current drive whilst showing a progress bar slowly moving. If I didn't respond it would simply resume my drive. This was handy since I didn't have to take my eyes off the road to respond, yes. Now all of a sudden, it doesn't show the progress bar and waits for me to click yes. If I don't respond the current drive now stops and I have to enter my destination again and start a new drive. What changed and can I get the progress…

turn not allowed for next turn on carplay
When the turn I need to make is not available, I should be able to say "turn not available" in the edits while using carplay.
There isn't a need to be able to edit multiple streets, just the turn Waze is asking for because I need to be able to be re-directed in a foreign area.7 votes -
improving the interaction with the application by making it easier to use traffic estimation
most drivers do not need to plan a route in order to find out about the right direction to point b, but you need to view the traffic situation on the roads in general, it is especially important when there are many points in one day, therefore, in the Yandex Navigator application, you can evaluate traffic without choosing a trip on a sick scale and view the entire city on the map with traffic load rates, for example, from 1 to 10.

Commuter vs Traveler option
I love Waze but I wish toggle between travel mode and commuter mode.
I will put Waze on and just start driving and if I don't look at it I will not know that the road has two hours of traffic on it and if it tells me to go a different way I'm really not paying attention to it like that. I'm not using it as guidance as much as I am to alert me that my normal route there is traffic etc. when I plug in my home it will send me some crazy ways (no pun intended)…

Possibility to get detailed information about alerts or hazards on the trip when starting
When starting the trip and setting the destination, Waze often shows traffic alerts or police presense alerts etc on on the horizontal line as small icons. But can not tap on those icons to see in forehand, what are those warnings about! How come? Those should be clicable to see more detailed information and perhaps a glimpse of the map where the issue is at.

Location vs route in search
It's super annoying that when I search a location, if I've never navigated to it, I can tap on it to see its info card, where if I have navigated there before, I can only start a route to that location. The only way for me to see the info card is to search and then look around the map for the location I want, if it even finds it, and tap on the map. The listed results should be just locations, unless you've navigated there recently, then show two options, one to route and one to see the info…

Show "Where to?" Only when the app is Fully loaded
Sometimes when opening app (mobile), you can immediately tap "where to?" And start choosing the destination, but then while typing, suddenly input view closes back to main view and you accidentally tap on something and app starts calculating routes you dont even want to go to. That is annoying! Better do not show the "Where to?" Untill the app is totally loaded and ready. It would make overall UX more pleasant in a rush.
