Display bridges on top instead of higher road type
Currently in the app if a bridge goes over a higher road type, it makes it seem the higher road type actually goes over the bridge. This should not be correct as it makes the map look incorrect. A segment that has been mapped as a higher elevation should be displayed above any other segment.
Example for this interchange:

WAZE as my vehicle advisor
I would like a feature to upload my car (type, make, year, model, etc.) and so could collect my daily mileage. Then WAZE (after xx miles) could alert me about changing my brakes, renew tires, oil, etc. as well presenting me promotions from near/path services that we all forget at the right time.
As well recommending new cars offers (same or alternative make) or insurances, accesories, detailing, etc.
A whole automotive world is there, and WAZE can be the best interface to interact with it.
You know my displacement, now you must know my car.18 votes -
Road closure automatic pop-up
It would be nice, when we don't follow Waze instructions, that Waze automatically show a little pop-up to ask why we didn't follow the instruction. It would have, for example, 3 buttons: roadwork, closure, ignore. And if the user doesn't do anything after 10 seconds, the pop-up would just ignore and close.
It happened multiple time to me that a road is closed, but because of circulation around and behind me, I can't really take the time to navigate in the UI to find the good option to signal it, and then, once I have the time, it's just too late. While, with a pop-up, it would be really straight forward.
We can also imagine a double pop-up, the second one used as a confirmation, to prevent user input error.

18 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

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

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.

Separate the ability to show the posted speed limit from the speedometer.
Currently, the only way to see the posted speed limit, is to toggle on the speedometer. I’m a truck owner that keeps the speedometer toggled off, as the speed that is on my screen is 12 mph faster than I am actually driving. I don’t have the option to see the posted speed limit, because it is grayed out, unless you are “using” the speedometer.

Have a Female super hero car to drive
Hi! My daughters asked me why, if the Batmobile is an option, we can’t drive a Wonder Woman car as well.
My kids are 3 and 5 and their question strikes the lack of representation they can already see here.
It can be WW or someone else... but could you have a car of a female superhero as well?
Ps: we love Batman too, -not the Riddle that much-, but having female representation would give an initial great & diversed option.
Thank you.

CarPlay Toll/Freeway Toggle
I find many times where I'd like to assess the difference between Toll vs Non-Toll or Freeway vs Non-Freeway routes, but there is no easy and safe way to do this while connected to Carplay. Offering a simple accessible toggle for these functions would be extremely valuable!

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

avoid a specified road would be a great feature.
It would be great if I could avoid a particular road I hate driving on the way home. Its not a toll or a dirt road, and I dont want to change my preferences just to avoid the same road , but I hate it. Its unlit, fast, narrow and has a really annoying junction and a big width restriction. I just want to tell Waze to never route that way. Id rather take 5 more minutes getting home .

Left shoulder hazard warning on interstates
Hazards on the LEFT shoulder of most interstates are especially dangerous. I'd like an option to specify left/right shoulder when reporting hazards.

Connect Waze to sireneradar.com to let Waze show a warning of an approaching emergency vehicle.
In the Netherlands we have the sireneradar.com initiative. Most emergency services are connected to this system.
The location of the police/fire/ambulance-vehicle is reported realtime to the platform, That data is available to navigation vendors like TomTom and Flitsmeister, and they sound and display a warning to their users for an approaching emergency vehicle.
This way the Waze users get an early warning, so they can be extra alert when they need to.

Alert "Traffic ahead" not helping...
The voice alert "Traffic ahead" should be hear at least 5 seconds before the traffic. Otherwise it misses the point - I can see the traffic by myself...
If it comes sooner it could help preventing unnecessary emergency brakes18 votes -
ETA on the front of the App
When you have your 1 stop route ready to go. The front page shows the ETA at the bottom, which is great. My suggestion has to do when you create a stop before the final destination. The display shows only the ETA of the 1st stop not the entire trip. It would be convenient for the area to show the first stop ETA and the final ETA. Either both at the same time or rotate both. Otherwise I have to go into another page to see my final ETA. Then when the first stop has completed then just show me the final ETA information.
Also if I am at the first stop for too long my entire trip seems to reset. That's not convienent.When you have your 1 stop route ready to go.

Alerts and Navigation Checkboxes
I would love the option to turn off alerts and solely have the navigation voice be audible!
I've read that the purpose for having the options be "Sound Off," "Alerts Only," and "Sound On" -- no "Navigation Only" -- is to keep the interface sleek, which I completely understand and support... so how about instead of making it a slider from "Sound Off" to "Alerts Only" to "Sound On," you made them checkboxes?
That way, you'd only have two toggles -- "Alerts On/Off," and "Navigation On/Off," and folks in dense metropolitan areas wouldn't have to choose between complete silence with no navigation OR navigation while getting their focus interrupted by constant alerts that are mostly meaningless.
