Extreme Temperature Crisis Response
Waze should add Extreme Temperature events to the Crisis Response process. As extreme heat events and extreme cold events become more and more frequent, citizens are going to increasingly need to find and navigate to Cooling Centers and Warming Centers that local governments and emergency planners open when the weather gets too hot or too cold. These types of extreme temperature events often put a big strain on power grids, and when temperatures reach dangerous levels, they need to quickly find shelter from the extreme temperatures. Many people have reliable heating and cooling at home, but unless they have backup generators too, they can fall victim to the weather without a safe shelter to go to.
I propose that Waze add Extreme Temperature Crisis Response as a separate category, as the current crisis response feature is not well suited for extreme temperature events (if we tried using the current feature, it would probably confuse too many Wazers).
Extreme temperature crisis response will require specific messaging; "Need directions to a shelter?" is perhaps too vague during an extreme temperature event, as most people take for granted that they have access to heating or cooling. Instead the push notifications should prompt "Need directions to a cooling center?" when it is very hot and "Need directions to a warming center?" when it is very cold.
A proposed new place category such as "Cooling / Heating Center" could be used when adding these types of emergency shelters to the maps. "Cooling Center" and "Heating Center" could perhaps be used as Alt-Names for the places.
I have set up some example places in the City of Pittsburgh, which are easily found by searching for "Cooling Center". The City of Pittsburgh is opening several cooling centers throughout the city this week as a result of extreme heat expected in the region this week. Any time the forecast temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the city opens its cooling centers with extended hours.
Extreme heat is the biggest killer in the U.S. and Waze's crisis response functionality can help save lives if changes are made to the feature to specifically address extreme temperature events.

Battery Saver always on
Option to have battery saver always-on by default. It's a poor user experience to have to set this manually for EVERY journey for those that want to have the battery as high as practitable before exiting the car and/or save their OLED screens from burning. Not everyone uses a charger in the car. And most phones use OLED screens.
'Automatically turn on' is there as an option, but it waits for battery to become low before kicking in, which rather defeats the object of saving battery (it's too late if it's already become low!) and meanwile you risk burning the screen too...
I think this idea was rejected earlier, but that was two years ago and the issue persists.

Trucker Version
Develop a trucker setting, or perhaps an entirely separate 'Trucker Waze' app for those of us running larger vehicles. We need to know about low clearance overpasses/bridges, narrow lanes and one lane bridges, weight restrictions, etc. For example, I pull oversized trailers up and down the East Coast (USA). I am 14'6" high, and 10'6" wide. You could even buy Trucker Path and add all the Waze functionality...

Move street name tags away from the route and the next maneuver arrow
Please display street name tags a bit away from the next maneuver arrow making sure that the arrow itself as well as some nearby streets are clearly visible. In a dense old cities the only way to understand which turn you should take is to compare the map with what you actually see. Don't forget about some GPS lag.

Police Otherside has been eliminated?!
Police Otherside has been eliminated?! Not showing on roads previously used. Police other side is gone from choices. Why? Many municipalities are about revenue and not safety. Artificially low speed limits are cash cows.

Ability to Select HOV Routes in Carplay
Right now, when checking different routes, you cannot select an HOV route in Carplay (they just do not show up). You can still select it in the iOS app, but for some reason the Carplay app won't accept the route when you select it from the app. It requires you to select a route on the Carplay app (which doesn't include the HOV routes).
The only workaround I found is to set the HOV route before you connect to Carplay, but if you update the route during the trip, it loses the HOV route ability unless you disconnect Carplay while driving, which is not safe.

Enable speed and associated icons to be placed on the left or the right side of the navigation screen at drivers discretion
Currently speed icons only display on right side of navigation screen. I drive a right hand drive car and speed icons are obscured by steering wheel and indicator stalks. It would be nice to have option to display the icons on the left or the right side of navigation screen at driver's discretion to facilitate clearer display depending on car navigation screen installed position.

Route suggestion
Noticed Waze always gives a longer route to destination which is quite silly. I suggest Waze can roll out analysis suggestions on 1)the shortest possible route, 2) the quickest possible route & 3) Waze recommended route instead of the current 3 route suggestions that are very similar.

Volume
Allow adjusting volume independent of WAZE announcements. Right now volume of WAZE announcements can only be adjusted ONLY while announcements are being made, which is extremely dangerous to do while driving.

Tagging my saved places in a map view
Tagging my saved places in a map view in addition to the currently existing list view:
✓ The reserved places are shown in a growing list.
✓ Currently the list is sorted alphabetically and I am obliged to remember what the place is called on the map or what name I gave it.
✓ Suggests giving the option to display them also in map view and to choose.
from her✓ This will streamline finding the saved place you are looking for.
✓ Good luck
