Add a NEW 'Police Notice' flag for the "MIDDLE" of the road!
On Waze, when flagging a Police, there's currently a 'POLICE' flag, for the current road side you're on; 'OTHER SIDE' flag, when the Police is on the other side of the road; but NO 'MIDDLE' (of the road) flag!
There are many instances where Police park (or hide) on the middle of a two-way route or major roadway.
Currently, selecting either of the two available options leaves the other side "unflagged" until a driver from the other side flags the same Police.Creating a "MIDDLE (of the road)" flag, will not only place a Police flag on the (middle) of…

Erase the path behind you.
When in a route, sometimes the path behind you get mixed with the path you are following. The path behind you should not be marked or it should be erased as you drive.

Bring back the report list on iOS!!
Please bring back the list of reports on iOS!!! I used to use that option all of the time, to decide which route I was going to take or see what I needed to watch out for, before I set out. Now I can only see what's going on when i set a route in the car to leave, which defeats my purpose of analyzing which way to go. I like to do this before i set out. Not the last second as I'm ready to drive. I use waze to travel long distances and I can't get a good…

Regular commute notification
Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.
Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days…

Give me a "I know where I'm going so don't bug me unless I need to know something" option
You need an option that allows the user to indicate that they know the route that they are taking, e.g., I don't need turn by turn instructions- I take the same handful of routes every day but I use Waze for estimating distance or alerting me to obstacles. Instead, tell me when the route I'm on has a problem. Because you don't have this option, I turn it on and off at various times.
3 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

I'd like to have the possibility to add "black points" on the map
I'd like to add black points on the route, to advice driver for a dangerous point / dangerous corner etc.

Add "avoid side streets" option
In certain neighborhoods, side street routes are unsafe and not necessarily faster than sticking with the main drag: nothing like having to wait with 3 of my fellow Wazers while an onstreet drug deal concludes in front of us (side street alternative route directed by Waze in NE DC). Or maybe just add "Drug deal in progress" to the notifications?

safe routes
Dear,
I write them because I love the app, however when I use the app at night, I would like it to include safe routes, I know that for you may sound strange, but in my country there are routes that during the night in certain points of the city is Extremely dangerous to go through assaults, robberies or kidnappings. It would be interesting to be able to work on creating safer but less efficient routes alternatives when you deem it convenient.I hope you like my idea and I love working on it.
Best regards.

More intuitive routing
I've had instances where it selected a route that was 6 miles longer, despite the same arrival time. Granted one may have been a few seconds earlier, I wish it was a bit more intuitive.

Meet another wazer
Add a feature to allow two wazers to request and approve to meet each other, which would show "distance apart" and possibly route to a central location, possibly a parking lot. It would most likely initiate from a friends list, or be able to recognize names on the seach location screen, which would send a meeting request to the friend wazer, allowing them to accept the request and initiate the routing.

Truck
Ok, so 6+ years ago it was in the too hard basket to make a truck route...
How about just collect data from people who want to add road closures to already set routes but so long as the vehicle type is set for truck/RV. Effectively it would be a clone overlay of map guides but over time with the community help it would create itself and within days to start with.
I would happily help through the teething issues within the first few months of individually adding closure roads to route if it meant that the route…8 votes -
Destination preview in Android Auto
When using the assistance, waze often chooses the wrong destination. It would be super helpful to see the destination for a few seconds before the route actually kicks in. Or to be able to confirm.

Allow junction boxes to include RoundABout exits to prohibit illegal route suggestion possibility.
This is not about lane control, it is to attempt to prevent in Australia, left/next exits on some Roundabouts when a dedicated exit is missed.
The are RABs that you can not take the first exit on, you had to have taken an exit lane before the RAB.
It would be useful to be able to restrict these particular exit choices when required. A JB would be drawn to cover the area and be allowed to restrict that particular A-B.
Thanks.

Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects
I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)

Possibility to tick an avoid country lanes box
Overview routes are only general. A button to tick "Avoid country lanes/no name lanes) would be so useful to not go in circles, trying to find a better route towards a location. It's not always possible to avoid country lanes, but most of the times/most of the route can be at least on B roads.

Let user know where congestions and accident are.
Would be nice if when chosen a route to see where the congestions and accidents are before pressing GO. It could be possible through the screen where the whole route is presented by pressing the ballons.

Routing server timeouts - retry in the background
Sometimes everyone of us experiences routing server timeouts with an Oops/OK prompt. Then one needs to reclick the destination while driving, which is disturbing. Perhaps the client could have an option to retry a couple of times in the background, and then notify if all retries failed?

TOLL
Please include the feature which allows the user to know the amount and the number of the toll on the route. It's important for the user to plan the trip and also budget friendly for the middle and lower class users, although it seems impossible to collect data for all the tolls rates. But lettings user to estimate the budget will be the GOAL.
