Replace "Police" with "Emergency Vehicle"
Just an idea to protect our police officers Waze should just list emergency vehicles. This would let me the user know I should approach with caution and would protect our police, fire, etc. from any misuse of our information. Thanks! Maybe also create a Rideshare group. :)

Report Downgraded Traffic or No Traffic
It would be great if we had the option to report No Traffic or Downgrade traffic patterns from Heavy, Moderate to No Traffic. There have been times where I would be traveling down a road that was reported as Heavy Traffic and I was not able to report that their was no traffic at all. I believe this type of feature would be helpful to Users when trying locate alternative routes. Thanks.

Have voice speak "Heavy" or "Moderate" or "Standstill" traffic ahead.
Need to have verbal notification of heavy, moderate and standstill traffic ahead. Not safe to look down at phone to see traffic ahead

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted. Thanks!

A minha ideia é que em vez de aparecer a bandeira do posto no aplicativo, colocar para aparecer o nome do posto. Seria mais fácil.
É que quando colocamos para atualizar os preços dos posto na hora da procura só aparece a bandeira em vez do nome.
E isso dificulta um pouco para saber qual posto ele se refere.17 votes -
Traffic cleared button
I suggest you guys to add a traffic clear button, cause sometimes i have noticed that even if the actual route is clear, waze will show standstill traffic because of previous outdated reports.

tolls
I would like to be able to report toll booth locations and cost of the toll. Nothing to do with avoiding toll routes. Just reporting location and cost.

Add way-point to route via map
Currently it is not possible to select a spot on the map and add it as way-point to the current route. This would be very useful to quickly modify the given route to personal preferences.

Pause sharing instead of canceling
I like being able to share my room with friends, but I found if I stop somewhere it cancels it. I shared a route with a friend the other day and stopped at a store and when they tried to follow me the request was denied – it was canceled. There must be some way to pause a route when someone is making a temporary stop.

More info in notification text (e.g. ETA, distance to destination, etc.)
A lot of time I have waze in the background and just listen for audio reports of hazards, etc. However, I also like to know my ETA. I think it would be useful to put the ETA, and perhaps other information, in the persistent Android notification. Right now it just says "waze ... return to waze" which isn't really useful. If the ETA were in the notification, I could check it without having to open the app, and then go back to whatever else I was looking at.

Hazard descriptions
I would like to see the hazard description when it pops up to alert me that one is coming soon. Currently, to see what kind of hazard it is, you have to find it on the road and click on the icon. Then you will know if it's a car on the side or something in the road, etc. The pop up alert should tell you what it is so you know what to expect.

Option to delete route
Please add an option to delete your route while keeping Waze running. Currently the only way to do this (Windows Mobile 2.0 version) is exit to Waze, restart it and quickly reply No to the resume question.

Option to Disable Auto-Rerouting After Route Is Set
Hello,
I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to disable automatic rerouting after setting a route.
As a driver, it’s not always possible (or safe) to constantly check the device to notice when Waze changes the route and tap “No thanks” in time to stay on the original path.There are countries where you must follow a specific route due to legal or financial reasons — for example, vignette zones, road restrictions, or toll obligations. When Waze changes the route automatically, it can cause problems such as fines, invalid route logs, or entering roads not suitable for the…

Add an ICE icon for active incidents in real time
We need an option for when we see ice activities in public. Not only does all of this hold up traffic and put us behind behind of where we’re supposed to be, but we also need somebody to step up and be the heroes. Somebody with an infrastructure already in place that allows us to coordinate and work together. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re willing to step up and do what’s right, and now we need that more than ever. Please join us on the right side of history while there’s still a chance.

Avoid Country Roads
Please add an option to avoid country roads in the UK, and stick to motorways, A and B roads only. Country roads are very narrow and dangerous

Add charger speeds as a search option for EV Charging
As an EV driver I want to search for an EV charging station! When traveling I want to locate a FAST charger. This means it needs to be at least 50kW and ideally over 100kW.
If Waze can add this it’s a game changer and we don’t have to search desperately with our EV charging apps on our phone then come back to Waze to enter the address.16 votes -

Map icon indicator showing destination is on the left side or right side
When approaching your destination, there needs to be a Left side or Right side indicator icon on the map. I live in a city where there's a 3-4 lane one-way road and is frustrating when I'm approaching my destination and it doesn't tell me if it's going to be on the left side or right side. I don't use the map voice so that's not an option. Please do not tell me this feature exists when it doesn't.

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.
