Add lane icons near the car collision icon
Hello waze! It occurred to me that they put an icon next to a car crash, some arrow that has 3 points. Left, center or right, because I see that many people always ask what lane the collision is in. They say that in the CHAT, that is, the messages, apart from saying negative things.... then... allow those who put car crash icons to also put IN WHICH LANE the accident is, so that the people who see it, you don't have to log in to see the messages. thx a lot, bye!

Interface suggestion
When asking if police or disabled car on side of the road, perhaps separate the “still there” and “not there” buttons. Perhaps one on the top and one on the bottom. Sometimes I accidentally click the wrong button as the car is bumpy and the buttons are too close together. FYI. This is on Apple CarPlay.

Feet to Yards please!
Please give us the option to select Yards (or metres) instead of Feet for distances in the UK. We have been brought up on using yards for distances under a mile (but we are able to use metres as they are similar). Feet as a measure is rarely used in the UK now.

Map Zoom
If I am on a Waze path trying to see where I go next, the zoom feature does not work all that well. I'd like to be able to zoom out to see where I am going and to check traffic, but the zoom only will go out for a second, then zooms back in. NOt a fan of this feature and finding myself using Google maps to check traffic and see a path on the map as opposed to Waze zoomed in on the next 500'. I cannot get the map to zoom out to a decent level.

Less verbose mode (few short instructions)
I would like to have a "less verbose mode" where the voice navigation would just say a few short instructions, like "turn right" for example, without all the verbose stuff like street names; or "speed trap", without all the useless words around it.
The reason is that sometimes I like to listen to music, or audiobooks, or having a conversation while driving, and I find that Waze verbosity is very annoying.23 votesWe plan to work on th Brief instructions Option in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Rettungsgasse / Rescue Lane - Reminder while traffic jams
In Germany and most European countries, you are supposed to form a rescue lane whilst being in a traffic jam on a highway/Autobahn.
This emergency corridor is always between the very left lane and the one next to her, so all cars need to move to the very left / very right on those lanes, making enough space to let emergency vehicles through.
After several incidents where people died after emergency services being stuck in the traffic jam, the German government wants to increase the sentence on ppl not making space for the rescue lane.My Suggestion:

It would be great if I could add a custom date for Planned Routes
It would be great if I could add a custom date for Planned Routes. I have an event I'd like to plan a route for, but it's in September. Other times, I don't know what day specifically it will be. Other times I know the specific date, but not what day of week it is.

Team up with Pokemon for rare pokemon locations.
Rare pokemon are hard to find, but they are always in set locations for a small period of time, just like a traffic accident. You could easily piggypack the popularity of Pokemon Go and get a ton of people to use your app for finding and reporting rarer pokemon locations.

Bring back Colonel Sanders voice
Make Colonel Sanders navigation voice permanent
23 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Hazard Acknowledgement
Hazard Acknowledgement:
I meet way too many “out of date" hazards, so this is my suggestion.
On Waze, when a driver is approaching a hazard, a dialog box should appear. In the dialog box it should read: “Hazard still here?” The driver should then have the option to press a “Yes” button or a “No” button.
There should also be a timing and a colour code system. i.e. If the “Yes” button is pressed the clock will reset to zero, the hazard icon will stay/change to red. Other drivers can then click the hazard icon and see that this hazard…

sync favorites
Why can't Waze sync my "Favorites" between my multiple devices? This is an issue that's been requested for years now, by many Waze users, and I just don't understand why it is so difficult to implement, especially since so many other apps have managed to figure it out!

Police on East Coast using Waze?
My friends and I, spread out in a few states on the east coast have noticed the police are using waze and Untagging themselves at the location of speed traps. This actually has been confirmed by an officer in Central New Jersey. Since many Waze users use the app for the police notifications I suggest in order to remove a police notification 2-3 DIFFERENT waze users must hit "not there"... I would seriously consider adding this sooner than later, maybe in the next update
Thanks for the great app

Allow default sharing of route to android share rather than internal sharing mechanism
Currently sharing is done to an alphabetical user list from my contacts. This is of course kind of silly since most of us use waze for navigation but not as a means of communication. I would like to see the old sharing back as default (share via other app), or even better - remember which app i used last to share and offer it as default. In the past 4 years I have shared my ride not via whatsapp only once, and that was into facebook chat.

Automatic Multiple Stop Route Optimization
Lets say I want to stop by 8 tourist locations in Washington, DC but because I am new to the area I will have no idea how to route myself optimally....so it would be awesome if I could just put in the location addresses or names and have WAZE optimize my stops to be most efficient and effective.
Now that would be an awesome travel tool! Heck it might even work for pizza delivery guys too! ;)
23 votesThank you for this suggestion.
This idea has been being discussed for a while and recognized as an important user request.
We hear the community’s voice and would like to share that while we can’t currently commit to a timeline, we do have plans to create a way to add more than one stop pre-drive.
We’ll keep the community posted, please stay tuned!
