Visual-aid for showing recency of data along route.
Whether I am driving along a major interstate, or an empty country road, it would be a major confidence boost to know, in real time, whether the route I'm driving is being heavily or lightly traveled by other wazers.
For example; I am driving on a country road in Texas and there are no reports along my route for miles. Does that mean the route is free of police and hazards, or am I the only Wazer on the road in this part of town?

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.4 votes -
toll booth alert off switch
Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert
99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.
10 votesGreat news! The option to turn off toll booths alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Add a simple Retry button after route planning fails
Often, I enter my destination right before driving.
Sometimes Waze fails to plan the route (because of weak signal or Wi-Fi/mobile switch).
This usually happens just after I start driving, so it’s hard and unsafe to go through many taps to try again in Android Auto.Please add a small “Retry” button on the error screen to try planning again with the same address.
✅ Safer – no need to touch the screen much while driving
✅ Faster recovery from short connection issues
✅ Very simple, very helpful improvement5 votes -
Stop sending survey requests via the App.
When driving 90 miles an hour is not the good moment to fill out a survey on your phone.. is it?!
Stop doing this, use this website or facebook for that!

Give us the voice of Gigi Saul Guerrero!
Gigi Saul Guerrero is feisty, ferociously funny, and a beloved member of the global horror community! She’s an actor, a horror film director, and the voices of Spider-Girl (Marvel Super Hero Adventures) and Vida (Super Monsters). Hailing from Mexico City, where she's known as “La Muneca Del Terror,” Gigi gained fans worldwide with her quick wit, infectious charm, and her mesmerizing timbre. (Her accent pairs well with two fingers of Casa Dragones.) Next time I drive the highways and byways of America, I want directions from Gigi Saul Guerrero!

Show the sun as a ball on the map
Show the location of the sun on the outskirts of the map, a moving yellow ball as you drive. This will give you an idea of when you will be driving straight at the sun. Also fun to see it move around the map. You can change the brightness or color based on how much glare may be in your eyes. Maybe a small arrow coming out of the ball to show the direction of where the sun is moving.

Have option to be able to automatedly share a drive with a saved address.
When ever I add a contact to share drive it defaults to send that information to the email address under that person’s profile. Not the mobile number.
the only way I can get the shared information to a person’s Mobil number is by clicking on the message button. So the search box will not work to share to Mobil number.
So bottom line is that it’s a long process to share a drive with a contact that has an email address listed under their profile.1 vote -
How long drive through lines at fast food restaurants, airport TSA, etc
All of us Wazers Siri are smart phones with us regardless of driving. Wouldn’t be ideal if we knew how long it would take to get it through TSA or even departure from home using Uber or lift the wait how long to get through security into her seat on the plane and even further to the hotel room yet our location.

Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS
Please add Siri Shortcuts support for hazard and police reporting in Waze on iOS. This would allow users—especially those using CarPlay or driving hands-free—to report visual sightings safely and legally.
Apple Maps already supports this (“Hey Siri, report a speed check”), but Waze does not. Since Waze has the most active crowdsourcing community, this feature would significantly improve:
• Driver safety (hands-free hazard reporting)
• Community contribution (more real-time data from CarPlay users)
• Accessibility (voice input for users who can’t interact with the screen)Suggested implementation:
• Expose actions like “Report police (visible/hidden), crash, hazard” to Siri Shortcuts
•…13 votesGreat news! Siri is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also refer to this link to learn more about on how to use Siri shortcuts in Waze.

Use the Bluetooth mesh for alerts when there is no internet connection (like Bitchat)
Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network. Just like it's done with the Bitchat app.
Many times we drive a very long stretch without internet access, and important events happen on the road that we need other drivers to see. With this Bluetooth network activated, we can share with drivers near us, and they can share with those closest to them, eventually reaching someone who has satellite internet or even mobile…10 votes -
If I Search for Home Depot and there are 10 stores within my area, please list them in order of driving time
Search Sort order should allow choice for by driving time. So if I’m choosing which store to go to for a chain store that has multiple locations and it’s rush hour, I can choose the quickest one to get to, which is not necessarily the closest.

Potholes are removed by bad actors
I drive rideshare and diligently mark devastating potholes just for them to be removed moments later. There may be bad actors in high clearance vehicles with big tires removing these, or just people that don't see them from a different lane. It's likely many just want the notification off screen and mindlessly downvote. It needs to be more difficult to get rid of pothole reports, or allow us a setting to make recent reports more persistent regardless of downvotes.
