One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.

GPS always off on initial start up
I use a Motorola x pure edition phone with Sprint and your app. For some reason, every time i start the app it can't find the gps signal. I have to reboot the program several times for it to register my location. What gives?

Make the "Start Now" button optional.
Hello, I am surprised and wondering what the ‘Start Now’ button is for. To me, it is obvious that when I enter a route into my GPS, it is to set off or to see how long the journey will take. So why does Waze ask if we want to set off? Would it not be possible to make this optional in the settings? Thank you.

Temporary HOV/Carpool lanes
If I'm in a 2+ vehicle, it would be nice if a route preferred HOV lanes. In my area, there is a "temporary" HOV lane which has a different direction in morning and evening. (See US-93 between Boston and Braintree MA)
20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

It's hard to keep track of when you're turning right or left when the arrow that shows the direction of the turn doesn't refer to the first
It's hard to keep track of when you're turning right or left when the arrow that shows the direction of the turn doesn't refer to the first turn you come to.
My suggestion is that when the first turn you come to is the correct turn, the arrow showing the direction of the turn would flash or change color, say green. A more advanced option is that if it's not the first turn, the arrow showing the turn, not the first, would be red.1 vote -
Un mode signal sonore nous invitant à regarder l'écran lors des changements de direction et des alertes plutôt qu'une voix trop bavarde !
Beaucoup de mes connaissances, moi même et mes collègues qui faisons beaucoup de route sommes très dérangé par le guidage sonore beaucoup trop bavard qui interrompt sans cesse la musique ou la radio au point d'en gâcher l'écoute alors que ce sont les choses qui nous font supporter et même parfois apprécier les longues heures de route... J'ai testé le réglage son "moins bavard" mais je n'ai pas vu la différence avec le guidage vocal classique.
Résultat : quasiment tout le monde coupe le guidage sonore, mais nous nous retrouvons alors à devoir regarder l'écran quasiment tout le temps pour…

When launching Waze app during dark times, have app utilize light sensor to start in night mode.
App starts up in day mode during dark hours and doesn't switch until route is planned. Utilize light sensor or time of day to cause it to startup in the appropriate mode for the time/light of day.

Police on the move and what side
Police on the move: I would put an option on the police spotter that shows moving/same side or moving/other side of the road. The app can see what direction/side the motorist is on, it would be a simple change to show that the police are moving on your side or other.

Mark overtaking lanes on back roads / B road highways
On minor highways (in Australia at least) they are often one lane in either direction, with the occasional overtaking lane being two lanes in one direction, one in the other.
These can be 10km+ apart and aren’t signposted until they are close.
It would be nice to colour indicate these lanes on the map so the driver/passenger can see if it is worth waiting to overtake a vehicle in the single lane road or wait until the safer overtaking lane15 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Add a “RETURN TO START POINT” option that will guide users back to the point in which they started.
Add a “RETURN TO START POINT” option that will guide users back to the point in which they started.
I dropped a friend off at work during my first visit to Detroit, so I could use her car for the day. I used Waze to navigate away from her job, but her phone doesn’t work in
the office and I have no way of contacting her to get the address to her job. It would be great to just go into Waze and select “RETURN TO START POINT” and have Waze navigate me back seamlessly! This would be a…3 votes -

Is it possible to make the direction and turn arrows the same color as the lane that should be followed? This would make it easier to clearly distinguish the correct lane when approaching a junction.

voice notifications regarding directional information
I miss the function for setting of the voice notifications regarding directional information. for example, before a change of direction, I am informed repeatedly or several times about the further direction of travel. However, it would be useful to be able to set the interval of such messages individually.
Technically, this could scale like this, for example:
shortly before the object
100 meters before the object
200 meters before the object
etc.

turning the Voice direction off automatically from 12 midnight up until 8 in the morning and just give alerts instead.
it's a good idea that voice navigation turns off after 12midnight until 8 am, because some of the family member make other family members wake up because of loud waze direction navigation,my father wakes up early at5:30 am and use that with a loud voice and disturb my sleep and wake me up!

Show destination before drive start
When speaking to android auto to navigate, please add a confirmation before the drive begins. Currently, if it thinks it found the right destination, it will begin the drive, but there is no way to see the destination to confirm.
