HOV only ramps and roads
When Wazers select an HOV route, because of the way HOV was implemented, any direct access ramp or otherwise HOV only road will never be suggested.
Waze needs to be able to suggest all HOV options, including HOV only flyovers and ramps.

Remove street tags
It will be good to remove street names tags from the route, especially near turns . I did lost couple times just because I couldn't see where exactly I should turn because street name tag was exactly on my arrow.

You absolutely need to do this! Google maps lets me minimise the map so it is a floating window so waze stays open while other apps are open
Waze should stay open and minimalize to a floating window just like google maps does. I love waze but this is the one reason i still use google maps.

Finger hold for icon placement
When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map. Why not after the first tap, if you keep your finger on the screen, automatically show the options, slide your finger to the one you want, and then once your finger is released, the icon drops straight into the map.
Simple and less steps to get the right icon on the map and also lessens the time concentrating on your phone rather than the road.When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map.

Account for (sporting, concert) events along the route when calculating ETA for planned drives
If you need to be somewhere at a certain time, but there is a sporting event along the way, there will be a lot of event traffic just before & just after the event. Waze could account for this traffic when calculating a planned drive. Then, based on historic data for such an event, Waze could either plan a route that avoids the traffic or it could show the ETA so you could drive past the venue during the event. Alternatively, you could know how early before or how late after the event you should leave to avoid the huge delays.

More Space Between “Thanks” & “Not There”
As I pass an alert, CarPlay screen asks me to choose either “Thanks” or “Not There.” The buttons are spaced so close together, sometimes I’m not sure if I accidentally pushed the wrong button. It would be helpful to space the buttons out. If they are further apart, it will be easier to hit the correct one, especially in a moving car.

Driving mode
Waze need a "Driving mode" switch within settings. I'm a Waze user, I use Waze from my car radio 7.5" screen and the only difference is more space for map view. By "Driving mode" is bigger buttons, bigger texts on street names and notifications. While driving you should not need to force reading or hitting a button... It's just an idea that I'm sure will improve a lot Waze usability while driving.

Be able to actively switch Toll roads on or off in Apple CarPlay app.
Hi,
Like Google Maps in Australia, within Apple CarPlay, you are able to navigate to a settings page, where you can turn on or off a host of functions.
One of which, is a toggle to avoid Toll Roads.
This feature would be very handy, as its the only thing stopping me from using the application as my main map system.
Thanks!

Where Am I Button. Instantly gives GPS address and local address. easily ported for transmittal into text, email or messenger messages.
"Where Am I Button." Instantly gives GPS address and nearest local address.Drop a marker. Save that marker location as a-z designation, Easily ported for transmittal into text, email or messenger messages. Be able to "drop" a marker and then return to it at anytime by selecting it from an a-z designated list of markers. Be able to identify a list of these markers and then have WAZE find the shortest path between all the selected markers. This would help someone who has a list of clients and on any given day has to make deliveries to say 12 of them. He can have all his clients saved as "drop points", identify the list of today's recipients and it would map his best delivery path.

Danger Alarm(Warn Dangerous Points in the Roads)
Hello . I live in Iran. Every year in our country, 30000 die in traffic accident and many injure. There are some places in our roads that frequently accidents happen in the places. One place that I know is the entrance of our city from highway that sometimes bad accidents happen in there. This is because of the inaccurate and inefficient design of the roads. Those who are familiar with the place mostly ride carefully in the dangerous part of the roads, and accidents often happen for those that are unfamiliar with the road.
I suggest that an alarm to be added to the app that warn the places. Like, "500m to dangerous point”. Or there can be used 3 alarms; “Low dangerous area”, “dangerous area” and “highly dangerous area”.
Now, people aware each other the locations of cameras or polices by the app. It can be for the dangerous areas also.
1) people suggest the dangerous points and the system consider the point that most is voted as dangerous points.
2) People can just click the dangerous point when they see an accident and gradually the system learns the dangerous points.
3) Or the system can obtain the information using the police documents.
Approximately 1.35 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. The alarm can be helpful for other countries also.
Even one life is so important. I think the idea works.
Sincerely

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 a week from home to work, our phone should know it. Most of all, if there is traffic or road work on our way, waze should ring an alarm to wake you up earlier or to prevent getting in this traffic.
Most days our driving time is about the same, so you do not have to check your navigation app every morning or every night. Our phone should only alert us when something unusual happens that would prevent us being on time.

No left without light option
I find too option Waze has me make Left turns where there is no Lights at these very difficult intersections. I think an option to avoid left left turns without lights altogether would be much easier and much safer. It would definitly benefit me.
