Car icon personalization
Be able to change the colors of the vehicles because I love the pickup truck but the only color right now is pink, and I know it’s not a huge deal but I think it would be so much more fun if we could pick the vehicle type then change the color to whatever we would like!

Enable automatic night mode for tunnel segments
It would be a nice addition to Waze to get automatic night mode for tunnel segments.
We're already adding the necessary information for this feature when creating tunnel segments.

Distance to overtaking lane
On australian highways we have overtaking lanes at various distances along the road. It would be nice to know the distance to the next overtaking lane to allow people to wait instead of making risky overtaking moves when the next overtaking lane is only 1km away

Add an audio player to the list of compatible apps with Waze
You should add an audio player that can play audio files that are on the phone itself to the list of compatible music apps so you can listen to your own files and recordings while using Waze, not just radio or other broadcasting apps. For example a recording of a lecture from your professor that you have on your phone.

3 differents driver profil
Today, the user profile is not taking into account by the algorithm. I hope in the future Waze will propose, not only the fatest road, but the road adapted to the user.
We will use for example 3 different profiles :
- the busy driver : this will always proposes the fastest road but it will add more weights to highway where overtaking car is possible
- the thrifty driver : always proposing the road with the cheapest path (combination of distance, height difference, ...)
- the tourist driver: this will propose road with points of interest (monuments, landscape).I imagine two ways of integrate those profiles : 1) creating the account; 2) with a specific icon at each search

We are planning to implement this idea.

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

Improve routing server system
Help customers by giving consistent, high-quality service through your routing server.
I am a long-time user of Waze and I live in Dayton, Ohio. In more than one quarter of my travels, Waze fails with a "routing server timeout" not just once each time, but repeatedly until I stop trying. Grrrrr.
The failure rate is even higher when I travel outside of the Dayton area. Please fix your service or redesign the routing server logic.
- On long trips, I have to select smaller subsets of my route in order to receive traffic-based guidance.
Then I have to enter the next subset of my route in order to receive traffic-based guidance, and so on toward my eventual destination.
- If you redesign your service you can avoid this bad level of service by doing just what I have to do (but you can do it within Waze's logic):
- Assemble and return the results from multiple subsets of the requested journey, with no failure and no annoying message to frustrate customers.Help customers by giving consistent, high-quality service through your routing server.

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.

Arrows for one way streets

רישום היעד בראש המסך
שלום רב,
אני משתמש "כבד" בוויז , רציתי לשאול האם ניתן שיהיה רשום תמיד על גבי המסך הראשי את היעד אליו את נוסע
כלומר לעיתים הדרך "מתפתלת" והתוכנה מובילה אותך בדרכים לא מוכרות ואתה "מאבד את הביטחון" ששמת את היעד הנכון
אם היה רשום למעלה במסך כל הזמן את היעד המקורי שאליו אתה נוסע היה יותר "שקט נפשי"

Amoled screen
Good Morning,
I have been using wave for a long time and the truth is that I am delighted, I really like it. I would like to make a suggestion to you, can you attenuate or at least give the option to modify the screen configuration of the icons that remain fixed? The reason is that I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and in all phones that have this type of screen, the AMOLED, in the end, if you use the application a lot, as is my case, there is a burned area of the screen where there are icons Fixed
Thank you very much.

Hungary toll
In Hungary you can have vignette (sticker) for highway for each county separately for the whole year or you can have a vignette for all of the Hungarian highway (the first one is cheaper if you just drive only in some countys). So, it could be very helpful if you could choose which county do you have vignette (not only the possibility to avoid toll) and the program could calculate the trip (where you can use the highway and where no). Thanks in advance. Gy
