P plater mode (drivers with restricted speed limits).
P plater mode (drivers with restricted speed limits). This mode would calculate arrival times based on the drivers speed restrictions. It would also suggest a faster route based on the restrictions of the driver.

CLOSED STREET REPORT IMPROVEMENT
Hello,
I would like to suggest an improvement of Waze driver interface. Specifically cleaning up and making it easier for the driver to report a street live street closure. When doing that, the map that pops out makes it very difficult to recognize which street we want to indicate that is closed. Cleaning this option up and adding street names would greatly improve ability to report it and warn other drivers.
Thank you in advance

Waze should consider the vehicle size when advising a route, keeping high and large into account
Waze should consider the vehicle size when advising a route, keeping high and large into account
It happened several times to me that waze pushed me into a street too small for my vehicle, worst going backwards was nearly impossible because of the other cars in my back. I am not even talking about the funnel I was pushed in with a challenge to get out.
Also, not later than 2 days ago, i was advised à route with a bridge high limited to 2.00m ... so no way for me to go there. I was forced a détour of several km.

Mostrar alternativas de viaje en la misma pantalla
A veces me envía por rutas más largas y lentas que Maps. Tal vez las rutas alternativas podría mostrarlas en la misma pantalla con sus minutos adicionales como lo hace Maps. Así sería super completa la aplicación.

Automatic setting for distance units
I've just returned to the UK from a holiday in Israel. I have to change the distance units manually both in the UK and in Israel. Could this be picked up automatically? It's not very convenient because you only realise they are wrong once you are driving.

Potholes are removed by bad actors
I drive rideshare and diligently mark devastating potholes just for them to be removed moments later. There may be bad actors in high clearance vehicles with big tires removing these, or just people that don't see them from a different lane. It's likely many just want the notification off screen and mindlessly downvote. It needs to be more difficult to get rid of pothole reports, or allow us a setting to make recent reports more persistent regardless of downvotes.

Picture type of hazard with different icons on navigation map
Change reported hazard icon on navigation map to actually picture the type of hazard instead of the general yellow exclamation triangle for everything.
If I report animals on the side.of.the road, I would expect to see the animal head icon on the map. Not a yellow hazard icon. It's far more informative and stops drivers from having to click into the hazard, taking their hands off the wheel, to see what it actually is.

I wish all the street directions and street names would show in my native language (English).
I wish all the street directions and street names would show in my native language (English). I prefer the features of Waze, but I often use Sygic instead because I can understand the interface. Waze keeps the street names and written driving instructions in Chinese while the voice speaks English. It's frustrating and distracting if I don't clearly hear the voice and then have to try to match the symbols on the phone with the Chinese characters on the signs while I drive. Taiwan is almost officially bilingual (2030) so all the street signs have their Roman equivalent. If the app could use pinying as well, that would be great.

Google Assistant Voice Navigation Problem
Dear Waze Team.
Since yesterday (seems like after Google Assistant update) I cannot use voice commands via Google Assistant in Waze anymore.
This cause a problem while driving as it is dangerous to try and add potholes etc. manually while driving.
When having Waze open and I want to navigate with commands through Google Assistant - just nothing happen or Google Maps open.
There is NO Google Assistant option to choose in my Waze app in Waze > Settings > Voice & Sounds?
PLEASE ADVISE OR HELP.
Thank you so kindly.

Permanent road closures in London
Permanent road closures in London
There have been so many new road closures due to the LTN scheme (low traffic neighbourhoods). There is nowhere on the app that allows you to say that the road has been blocked to traffic in both directions at a particular point and that it is a road closure – usually permanent. Please add permanent road closure as an option.8 votesThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

Configuraçao do alerta sonoro para todos radares de velocidade independente da velocidade de tráfego
[BRASIL] O velocímetro do waze sempre indica 10 km/h a menos que o velocimetro do carro, isso faz com que o waze não dê o alerta sonoro sobre os radares de velocidade que passo a 10 km/h a mais. Sendo assim peço que os desenvolvedores criem a opção de configurar o alerta sonoro pra todos radares de velocidade independente de velocidade, evitando o erro que relatei.
