Fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn
It would be really nice if Waze faded music during audio events (not pause.. pause is a little bit jerky and makes you lose the music beat)
I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it (outstanding equalizer settings and audio effects), and the fade function is really necessary so I don't keep distracting looking for corners on GPS.
Also, on my own opinion, fading looks real classy and professional.Original Google Maps' software does that fading, but I don't want to go back using it. Waze is amazing!

How about annoucing police or traffic jams by voice instead of pop ups.
Announcing in the voice warning police in area or traffic ahead in x miles.

Use a system similar to Evernote to access Calendar information. If Location exists and it is shown in the Address Book, ask to nav there.
Use the calendar to chose next location to navigate to semi automatically.

User selected audio announcements
It'd be nice to be able to select what audio announcements are made. For example, not getting "candy" audio announcements, or http://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-client-how-can-we-improve-waze-on-your-phone-/suggestions/2359957-privacy-zone-stop-reporting-near-home-work-?ref=title

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could be twice the size, that would be great. I find the road/shoulder/weather buttons are the perfect size to tap with one hand while driving, and keeping your eyes on the road.The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving.

multiple destinations
feature suggestion for Waze
subject: add feature to automatically sort multiple destinations by distance or direction.
message: hello Waze team,
I'm a regular user of your amazing app and I'd like to suggest a feature that could be extremely helpful for many users-especially delivery drivers 'couriers or anyone with multiple stops in their day.
feature request: please consider adding a feature that allows users to-enter multiple destinations at once (multi stop routing).automatically sort them either: by distance from the current location (closest to farthest) or in a specific direction (from south to north) .
generate a smart route that takes into account both distance and current traffic conditions.
why this useful: this would save users a lot of time and planning, and improve the overall navigation experience when handling multiple tasks or deliveries.
thank you for all your great work and for continuing to make waze better and smarter!
best regards,

Add support for Eircodes (Ireland's Postal Code system)
Irish Eircode support is required in Waze. Unlilke a lot of postcode systems, Irish Eircodes are unique codes that match to an exact building/address. https://www.eircode.ie/benefits/overview
I am constantly getting issues reported by users of the below:
Search for an address by its house number, you get correctly routed to the correct road as we have added house numbers.
Search for the eircode, Waze pulls the coordinates from Google and routes to the nearest segment, so many times, this is the incorrect road, a lot of the time it routes users to roads behind the address beause I assume it's technically closer to the coordinates Google provided for the eircode.
We need someway, as editors, to be able to link eircodes to segments, similar to house numbers so that Waze can know to route to the same segment the house number is linked to.
For further clarification, there seems to be confusion around Irish Eircodes. Let me lay out how important they are. If I need to give someone my address, I give them my Eircode, not my address. The Eircode will bring them right to my address. So when people are using Eircodes and they are routing to incorrect roads, and different roads to the address, it's a major issue for the reliability of Waze. How can you trust Waze to bring you to the correct location if it depends on knowing that Eircodes could bring you to the wrong place.

Additional fields in Tollbooth hazard
It would be great to add some fields to Tollbooth hazard like "name", "price" and "payment methods", so that Waze can warn (on screen and TTS) about the next toll on the Wazer route and, at least, its name and price.

UK - Waze needs a "no single track roads" option
Waze often routes down single track/privately maintained roads that are narrow and of poor quality
An option to avoid these roads should be implemented.

Increase font in navigation screens
Small fonts on Android. It was better few version back. Increase font in Android doesn't help. Ask your devs to respect accessibility for major actions like voice alerts, Home/work recommendations , recent drives, etc.

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.
