audio alerts for everything
It would be nice to have audio alerts for all activity in waze. If there is a traffic jam ahead alert me vocally, same for car on shoulder etc.
I say this because I ride a motorcycle and am not able to view my screen (also it would take my attention from the bike). I would like to be audibly alerted of everything such as speed cams, cops, blah blah :)

Icons too small
The icons are too small, especially speed icon seen on thr carplay screen.
Having to stare longer at the screen to figure out the speed limit is an unnecessary danger for drivers, this should be looked into as a priority, drivers could get involved in an accident because icon sizes are too small.
Please make them a suitable size for purpose.

Show the amount of data being consumed by Waze
Have an option that can show the data being consumed during navigation. In addition put a limit to the amount of data that can be used . It should not be possible to exceed that limit.

I would like Waze to show me the recommended speed to avoid multiple stops while in slow moving traffic jam
Especially when driving regular gear cars, you prefer to drive slowly but steady, rather than stopping and accelerating consistently. This is also favorable in fuel consumption manners. In the long run, if a lot of users will obey this feature it could consequently help to promote the traffic congestion by preventing multiple stops, and improve the traffic flow.

Save Battery by turning off the display when not in use.
Currently when I use waze, my phones display is draining the battery. I have the following suggestion to reduce the battery usage. If you could include this in future release, I am sure everyone will turn on waze even if they don't need navigation assist.
My suggestion
Turn off the display automatically after a certain speed or give the user an option to turn off the display without locking the phone. This will be very helpful to reduce battery usage when you travel familiar routes and long road trips.
Turn on the display automatically when there is a voice command…
19 votesGreat news! The battery saver mode is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Merge two or more alerts
Today Waze prioritize some alerts and you only have 1 visible and audible alert, even if it has 2 or more in the location.
My suggestion is that in this case Waze can "merge" these alerts. Something like "Speed trap and accident reported ahead"
25 votesWe plan to work on merging two or more alerts in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Police reporting needs to be switched back
The police reporting system needs to be switched back. Driving along the interstate, I frequently report police sitting on the opposite side of the road. I also report police sitting in the median checking for speeders both ways. The "other side" button needs to return.
Thanks

Personalized notification. Some of the notification I am always interested in others I am only interested in when I am pulling a trailer. Consider allowing personalization of the notification choices. When commuting to/from work when not pulling a trailer I am concerned with Police Officers on the side of the road and objects on the road. I drive the route most every day and know where the red light and speed cameras are located. I do not need to receive notification of these every day as they are static. Having a way to capture MOBILE speed cameras is…

When reporting a hazard the update does not allow to specify on the other side of the road, like it used to. LOVE THE APP.
Can the "Other side" be added when reporting a hazard? Used ot be able to report a truck on the other side of the road. Cant do that anymore.
I have turned many people on to Waze. Great app!!!!! thanks for all the WAZE team does.2 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. -
I'm sure a large percentage of users are elderly and other's with poor eyesight. If possible to make a larger size of the speed and Hwy numb

Have Waze self mark issues in the app
Just curious if the Dev's have looked into having WAZE do it on its own?
For example: Marking traffic as "Busy" or "Standstill".... I mean it knows the road is 80KM/HR (shows me the speed limit on every street I drive) and it knows for the past 6 blocks I am doing 30KM/HR (Shows my current speed on the screen).
So should it not be able to see that and say "Traffic is heavy" and mark it as such till it sees me pick up speed and get back to the limit? Or if I am in the middle…

Change how ETA works
Other sugestions ask similar but all forget us, cyclists. The eta is always based on cars, I need it to be adjusted to fit my average speed, not using a data stored in who knows where. I want it to update live based on my speed at a time.

I think the stopped car icon should be removed from list of items to be marked. It’s seems to be the most prevalent post little value.
Add cop location, left side/right side to map so you know to move over.

sound icon
The sound icon in the bottom bar is good, but to turn Sound On, you press the left side, but in the Settings you press the right side to turn Sound On. The Sound On should be on the same side so i don't have to try to read the label.
