Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

Add a "Can't do that !" button
Sometimes, Waze tells me to take a road and I can't, because it is blocked for construction, or because of a map error (road recently became one-way). When I pass the road, Waze recalculates and often, tells me to make a U-turn and take that same road. Which I still can't.
When Waze tells me to turn where I can't, I'd like to be able to press a "Can't do that" button which would have 2 effects :
- Report a "Wrong driving instructions" map problem.
- Recalculate an other way to reach my destination, without this particular road.19 votes -
Notes to self
My mind wanders as I drive and a lot of the time I will think of important things that need to be done/revisited when I am not driving. It would be really nice if there was a way to somehow record notes to myself as I drive that I can then access when I am safely at my destination.

Report buttons simplified
Report menu needs to be easier to use, especially when driving. 4 options per screen only. Gas prices and other featured are nice but should not be on main report menu. Also sometimes authorities can be helpful. Reports of accidents could be sent to them.
Also how about report drunk or reckless drivers to authorities9 votesHolding or swiping the Reports button will bring up the 3 most used reports, making the process faster. You can also use voice reporting with Google Assistant.

unsafe streets
It would be very helpful to know if you are entering to a dangerous area meaning like a ghetto or some place where is dangerous to be driving at certain time or know that you can get assaulted by knowing this you can change route to a safer one.
Sometimes you get into streets that are very dangerous for saving some minutes on your route.
Being able to report dangerous areas would be great and safer for driving.
I know a lot of people talking about this on the city as an issue of waze.

Vibrate Notifications
Give the user the option to turn-on "vibrate notifications" in addition to voice. Many times when driving I am distracted talking to a passenger or listening to the radio and miss a turn.
It would be great if my phone would also vibrate. I would like to have this option for police notifications as well.
If this were an option, then those that don't want vibrate notifications don't have to use it.9 votes -
Liam Neeson voice over
Simple as that. Imagine driving and your navigation makes you feel like you're diving in an action movie....but undercover so you gotta obey traffic laws. Anyway, Liam Neeson' s voice is a must!

Separate the ability to show the posted speed limit from the speedometer.
Currently, the only way to see the posted speed limit, is to toggle on the speedometer. I’m a truck owner that keeps the speedometer toggled off, as the speed that is on my screen is 12 mph faster than I am actually driving. I don’t have the option to see the posted speed limit, because it is grayed out, unless you are “using” the speedometer.

I never receive SMS setup instructions for support forum username/password
When I go to https://www.waze.com/forgot_password to setup my support forum account for the first time (as a normally Facebook-authenticated user), enter my US phone number, and select 'Send me an SMS', I never get one.
I've repeated the process twice, and waited several hours. Still no SMS.
I can receive SMSes from friends and other apps (Google, Facebook, GitHub) without issue.

Gas function is broken
The gas station function is broken and doesn't work all it does is add 20 minutes to your drive and why do you want to circle back to your route it is completely useless and a waste of your time

Improve Terrible Social Aspects of Waze
Your App and customer service are terrible. I cannot add friends, except for ONE person in my contacts. Why is Waze so terrible at this. I do not want to connect with Facebook so don't suggest it. My wife is on Waze and cannot add me. I cannot add her. This comes after she got a new phone. Waze support is also crap;(support@waze.com) replies saying that email is not monitored! What a joke of a company! I will be shocked if Waze takes action because they have demonstrated their indifference to their users.

PLEASE make my position on the map “centered” on my iPad screen in landscape mode!
While using the app in landscape mode my position on the map is always on the bottom right of the screen and not in the bottom “center” of the screen. I really love this app and all of its features, but I just can’t learn to live with it this way! It’s driving me insane to the point that I don’t even want to use the app at all and have been searching for other nav apps. I really want to use Waze but I just can’t stand the position being off centered the way it is. I just can’t…

Dark mode - not blue mode
Your last update resulted in a barely usable dark mode, with a strong blue tint, instead of the previous familiar dark grey. I drive for a living and I have to say that the colour is simply unhealthy for the eyes of someone driving 8h/day. Please bring back the previous dark mode.

View Radio Station Playing
Would be nice to have a top bar showing which radio station I am on/listening to. I use Waze every day! I drive a 19 Subaru Outback (so sorry if this is only applicable to me). But when I plug in my phone and it is up on my screen, I cannot tell which radio station I am on, or what stations I am changing to.

Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.

Route mapping/sharing social
I believe having some sort of route mapping option akin to services like mapmyrun and Strava would be a great way to introduce a more social aspect for those of us who like driving for the sake of the drive or an adventure.
Myself and many of my friends enjoy just going on random drives where we just go where the wind takes us and see sights with no particular destinations in mind. However mapping those routes and destinations for future reference is challenging and honestly time consuming.
A feature like this as I could currently see it would…

Construction notification
Construction alerts are far too annoying. This has been mentioned often by users here. The issue is that they are constantly alerting, making it hard to focus on driving when you have to keep clearing them. Often I will get up to 10 alerts for the same construction zone. This is ridiculous and not helpful.
One solution would be to have construction zones auto populate rather than by users. I know this is done with other apps. The state DOT department ms provide regular notifications of construction in their state. These could be uploaded. Alternatively, just allow one notification per…

Announce verbally route and delay changes
At the moment if the route changes then Waze makes a chirp sound. I would like it to actually say "Route Change" or perhaps "Route recalculated due to change in traffic conditions" and then "Arrival time is now 7.34 pm". Or "Traffic delay has increased/decreased by 5 minutes". These announcements should be capable of being enabled/disabled in settings to allow for different user preferences. Personally I don't like reading messages on the phone screen while I'm driving - I would rather messages be read out verbally so I don't have to look at the screen as much - safer!
