Audible warning for speed cameras even if you're under the speed limit
If you're going under the speed limit you don't get an audible warning for a speed camera. If the camera is after a limit change you may be under the limit when approaching but you can then accelerate above the limit and have no warning.

Adding traffic lights and stop signs like how Apple Maps and I think google maps has.
Adding traffic lights and stop signs would be amazing, it’s nice to know 1 mile In advance when driving in new areas.

Ev charging
Revamp the entire EV charging options/filters/functionality
Many good ideas for improvement already in the suggestion box that should be implemented. There should also be a filter for Tesla stations that are Tesla only, so that those with adapters unable to use those locations can filter them out.15 votes -
Display more (limited) house numbers at destination
Short version: When approaching your destination display not only the pin for the address that you're arriving at, but also one, two or three addresses before and after the address. Example: navigating to 122 Main St would show up with the navigation pin, but also show a small number 114 and 118 before, and 126 and 130 after the pin.
When working for a delivery app like Door Dash, Uber Eats, Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Walmart Spark, Amazon Flex, Grub Hub, etcetera you're just trying to get to the location, drop the package, and move on to your next delivery. Often times it's very difficult to see any house numbers on the buildings themselves as much of this happens after dark and people for some reason don't like to turn on their porchlights (reddit is complete with complaints for this on any of the delivery subs). When using the built in GPS for whichever app you're talking about it will typically display not only the various house numbers as you get closer to the destination but also a polygon. I'm sure the polygon would be out of the question, but just having the house numbers displayed for a few before and after the destination would be immensely helpful. Imagine you're waiting for a delivery of food, there's your house and two others on your side of the road, and your driver gets to your house only to stammer for a few minutes not sure which house to deliver to.

Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works
I would like to suggest adding functionality to Waze that supports temporary speed limits on road segments affected by road works. This would work similarly to the current "Closures" feature in the Waze Map Editor (WME).
Reason for Request:
This summer, we have received numerous reports from drivers through the mobile app, indicating incorrect speed limits displayed on roads under construction. Currently, setting temporary speed limits and later restoring the original limits after the road works are completed is a time-consuming, double effort for us.A "Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works" feature would not only streamline the process of displaying accurate speed limits during road work but also allow us to retain the original speed limits without needing to manually restore them after the works are finished. This would improve efficiency and ensure accurate information is provided to drivers.
Proposed Workflow:
. In WME, introduce a "Road Works" option.
https://i.ibb.co/BjjGR0Z/wme-works.png
a. Users can select specific road segments affected by road works.
b. Set start date/time and end date/time like for Closures. Once marked as "Road Works," these segments will display a temporary speed limit icon in the Waze mobile app, reflecting the adjusted speed limit during the construction period.

EV filter for fast charging (DC) and filter for slow charging (AC)
Choose to search for fast OR slow chargers exclusively (instead of mixed list currently showing).
Add a restrictive filter that on selection ónly displays Fast chargers (DC) when traveling long distances.
Add a separate restrictive filter showing only slow chargers (AC) for destination charging.
Please make the filter option available for Android auto as well.

update recent / saved drives
A lot of Update Requests come from drivers who are using saved drives for Places that have been updated or changed in the map editor.
Can we make it so after a time period (a month, for instance) the app queries the server for updates when an entry is chosen from the recent/saved drives? Or give a prompt that allows the user to manually update a saved entry, or all entries? "It's been over a month since you've driven here, would you like to see if there have been any changes?"
Also, an option (in the settings or in the long-press submenu) to update saved drives would be a useful tool.The current workflow of deleting it just to search again is rather cumbersome and confusing, and if a drive is saved in more than one place in the app it can sometimes not even be effective…

Stacked Lane Guidance
Ability to map "stacked" lane guidance.
A stacked lane is one where you have one lane turning into two. An example I have is here in Calgary AB Canada, we have a rail underpass that you make a right turn onto, but there is a median between the two lanes (its a one-way) and you need to be is the farthest lane access the left turn at the other side of the rail underpass.
And right now, we don't have the ability to show that the first right lane is "stacked lanes"
Examples:

Max speed!
For me, there's only one simple addition that would make Waze the perfect GPS. The ability to enter the max allowed speed for the vehicle. For truck-drivers, caravan-drivers e.g. you're not allowed to reach the max speed on motorways e.g., so you'll manually have to calculate the additional time to your destination. TomTomGO has this. Make it happen! :)

Speedometer position Android Auto
Actual Speed and Limit icons to be set closer to driver position (left or right of screen) depending on driver position in settings.
On car displays having the icons on opposite side can take the attention off the road for too long when trying to observe the speed limit / actual speed.15 votes -
FIX saved places
I have noticed if i have a saved place in recent i cannot search for the saved name.
The only way i can search for the saved name is to remove it from recent places.
Can this be resolved please.

Show international borders on route
It would be very helpful to show international borders. For some reason these are not visible once the route is chosen. Due to uncertain wait times at some borders, which Waze isn't very good at calculating, it would be helpful to at least display them and let drivers make choices based on other information (there are other apps that monitor these wait times, such as Border Watch). Also, had I not already known that Waze was sending me through Albania, I would have been unable to avoid additional charges, hassles, and delays (Albania requires extra documentation from European drivers that almost all other countries have suspended), had I accepted its route from Kosovo to Montenegro through here. Show the borders please!

Add a penalty to PR crossing an LS+ junction
Suggest adding a penalty to all PR segments that junction with an LS+ segment for continuation. That is, do not continue on to another PR segment unless necessary.
This would be helpful for alleyways in cities to force the user to an LS+ segment instead of continuing alleyway to alleyway.
Also useful for local-access only situations were we want to force a user off the PR segments ASAP. I can't think of any situations where this would be an issue as if the destination is on a subsequent PR segment, that would rule.

Bring back the "easy in app" Share My Drive.
The latest update that removed the "easy in app" Share My Drive feature is moronic. It now takes more steps/additional "clicks" to share a drive and clogs up my text messages with shared drives. Bring back the "easy in app" Share My Drive feature.

Since Brazil has a lot of potholes, I think there should be a shortcut for potholes on the screen for the drivers to be able to report
