Please just show a free driving map without written directions
When you force a listing of written directions or force us to enter a destination, it is annoying and prevents me from seeing the map allowing me to use free driving by the map routes. I do not like driving my car by written directions. I want only to see the map of where I am and drive to wherever I am going.
I really hope this posted feedback matters, but I don't feel that the developers of this app really care about things written here. When this app first came out, it was excellent. Now it is a real pain to use it.
If some people want written directions to a destination, then that should be an option to select in the app.
If people just want to drive seeing the map only, then that should be an option.
What you are doing now forcing us to enter a destination before driving and stopping us from seeing the map really is a major negative for using the Waze app.
I wish Waze would go back to the days when we just pulled up the app, and it showed us the map and where we are on it while we drove to wherever we were going.
The way things are in using the Waze app is useless to those of us who just want to see the map while we drive.When you force a listing of written directions or force us to enter a destination, it is annoying and prevents me from seeing the map allowing me to use free driving by the map routes.

Still There - Not There buttons in Waze
For the Still There and Not There buttons in Waze, having the buttons next to each other is an issue as you have heard. My suggestion would be to have Still There on the top, the notification reason (Police Ahead, Construction, Accident) in the middle and Not There on the bottom. Because the notification reason is not a button that can be selected this layout would help the issue of hitting the wrong button by accident.

Critical alerts only
Many users choose to turn off voice navigation in Waze because the alerts can be frequent and distracting—especially on familiar or long drives where there’s no need to hear every turn, lane change, or minor update.
The problem is that once voice guidance is disabled, it becomes easy to miss a critical turn. Sometimes missing a turn has little impact, but in other cases it can extend the trip by 10, 20, or even 30 minutes.
The proposed solution is to introduce a new alert mode: “Critical Alerts Only.”
In this mode, Waze would not provide voice instructions for every turn, but only when missing the next instruction is expected to cause a significant delay.
For example:
If missing the next turn would add only one minute to the route — no alert would be played.
If missing the turn would add more than five minutes — Waze would issue a voice alert.Users could define their own threshold in the settings:
“Alert me only if missing a maneuver will add more than X minutes to my route”
(e.g., 3, 5, or 10 minutes, or a custom value).This approach allows users to enjoy a quieter, less distracting driving experience without sacrificing important alerts—ensuring they are notified precisely when a small mistake could lead to a significant delay.

התראות קריטיות במסלול
כיום הרבה משתמשים מכבים את ההנחיות הקוליות ב-Waze, משום שהן עלולות להיות תכופות ומציקות — במיוחד בנסיעות מוכרות או ארוכות, שבהן אין צורך לשמוע כל פנייה, שינוי נתיב או עדכון קטן.
הבעיה היא שכאשר ההנחיות הקוליות כבויות, קל לפספס פנייה קריטית. לפעמים פספוס כזה לא משנה כמעט כלום, אבל לפעמים הוא עלול להאריך את המסלול ב-10, 20 או אפילו 30 דקות.
ההצעה היא להוסיף מצב התראות חדש: “התראות קריטיות בלבד”.
במצב הזה Waze לא תתריע קולית על כל פנייה, אלא רק כאשר אי־ביצוע ההנחיה הקרובה צפוי לגרום לעיכוב משמעותי במסלול.
לדוגמה:
אם פספוס הפנייה הקרובה יאריך את המסלול בדקה — לא תישמע התראה.
אם פספוס הפנייה יאריך את המסלול ביותר מ-5 דקות — Waze תתריע קולית.בהגדרות המשתמש ניתן יהיה לקבוע את סף ההתראה:
“התרע רק אם פספוס ההנחיה יוסיף יותר מ־X דקות למסלול”
למשל: 3 דקות, 5 דקות, 10 דקות או סף מותאם אישית.כך המשתמשים יוכלו ליהנות מנסיעה שקטה יותר, בלי לוותר על התראות חשובות באמת — בדיוק ברגעים שבהם פספוס קטן עלול להפוך לעיכוב גדול

construction zone stays until construction finishes option
add start/end date option for long-term construction zones
Many road construction and lane reduction projects remain active for days or weeks, but Waze temporary reports disappear after only a few hours.
This creates a major issue because users must repeatedly re-report the same construction zone every day, and once the alert disappears Waze begins routing traffic directly through that delayed area again.
Example: if a city construction sign clearly states lane closure or road work for 30 days, users should be able to submit a construction report with an optional expiration date or duration.
Suggested improvement:
Allow users or map editors to choose:
• construction active today only
• active for 3 days
• active for 7 days
• active until selected end dateThis would help Waze keep routing accurate during long-term lane reductions, prevent unnecessary traffic backups, and avoid sending drivers into known 5 to 15 minute lineup zones once daily reports expire.
This would be especially useful in growing cities with constant utility and roadwork projects.

Hi Police Officer here, I like seeing people posting officer locations
Hi, police officer here. I like seeing people posting officer locations. It encourages people to slow down. It's beneficial in high-traffic/complaint areas. This results in fewer crashes and fewer complaints. With that in mind, could an alert or notification be implemented that notifies users/drivers of an approaching speed limit change and when it changes? I know the speed limit indicator changes, perhaps something a little more flashy.

Exploration mode
On my motorcycle I find myself changing settings to avoid highways and tolls. It would be nice to have a button for this with a reminder to return to normal mode after. I sometimes forget to change back and then have long commute to the next place.

Dashcam
Dashcam which offers possible navigation support has all things like speed etc rear and forward. Here is the idea ai. Image recognisearion which links with a phone I did this simply with raspberry pi python and a YOLO I made it ping when police were in view maybe it's possible to make it mark them up on the app real time option to enable disable this feature for privacy make sure it only sends a gps ping location and don't do it in a radius near somebody's house fully anonymous reporting with this dashcam links up with the app so it has internet access. Maybe also make one for a helmet for bikers aswell. Make it detect different things like roadworks maybe etc but police seem to be the easiest atleast from my experience attempting this. Thanks for reading this hope this maybe helps

Bottom toolbar shows and hides itself insanely
I use Waze on my iPhone 17 Pro Max screen directly, I often see the bottom toolbar shows and hides itself every 1 second while driving, and when it happens, it will never stop, I have to re-launch the app while driving, which is very dangerous and inconvenient. And this issue has been there for years (it also happened on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max, etc). I recorded a video recently for your reference: https://d.pr/v/Dx9sP0

Toll vs no toll cost estimating
Currently, Waze shows estimated costs for tolls which is very helpful. However, I think it would be very beneficial if there was a feature comparing the estimated cost of taking a toll road vs taking the longer ‘no toll’ option. For example, if a toll road might cost $5 but saves 15 minutes of driving, based on current average fuel prices (typical fuel type and average L/100km entered by user) could a cost estimate for fuel used on the longer route be used to compare and inform the decision for which route to take? For example, the $5 toll saving 15 minutes might actually be the same total expense with fuel brought into the equation for the toll free route. Additionally, with the current ‘fuel crisis’, this could be a good way to encourage people to take shorter routes and conserve fuel where financially it makes sense to do so.

Prioritize travel time vs. always suggesting the express lanes on the highway
Waze always suggests the Express lanes, regardless of which set of lanes (Express or Collector) are moving faster between the next cross-over point. Every time I get on the highway, Waze directs me to the Express lanes. Many times, the collectors are moving faster than the express lanes, so I do not understand why Waze keeps directing to the express lanes. Waze should prioritize travel time and should only suggest the express when the travel time is shorter (i.e. when the express is moving faster than the collectors), and when the express makes sense based on the exit you need to take. (In addition there are many times Waze keeps you in the Express Lanes too long forcing you to cross multiple lanes in a short distance to make the exit. This is dangerous and Waze should know better. Based on highway speeds, it should move you to the collectors in plenty of time to cross all the lanes needed to make the exit.)
