Automate road closure Report
It is difficult to report road closures in real time - especially on a freeway - because of the approach speed and unexpected driving adjustment. If Waze inquired why I missed a turn/off-on ramp it would be helpful. This is similar to when Waze asks "you slowed down - are you in traffic?" If Waze notices that I missed a turn/off-on ramp it should ask "you missed a turn- was there a road closure ?" This way I can report later ( give me 60 secs) when safe. If I just missed the turn because I was distracted or chose…

Mute re-routing sound
The constant re-routing sound waze makes when I choose not to take the exact route she wants me to, or because I kiss a turn is loud in my Bluetooth and even though I have the sound turned down its still annoying. I know she is going to re-route me so I don't need that loud Beep she makes. No other GPS device does this. If we could please have an option to mute this, then that would be amazing. Thanks.

Remove 'Reported map issue' from UR description
This auto generated "Reported map issue" text in the description field isn't adding much value.
In fact that field is supposed to be extra info from the user..

Change the color of the exit signs from background yellow and white lettering. It's too difficult to see
You recently changed the color of exit signs to background yellow withwhite lettering. I cannot see the number of the exit with white lettering. Please change the background to darker, or the lettering to a dark color.

Return the displaying of FB friends on a map in app.
Most users are interested in where their friends are, not unknown people. Need to make FB friends be visible on the map all the time, not just when they are within 1 km. There is an invisible button for Confidentiality to compliance in the application.

Customizable Speed limit and speedometer size and placement
The current speed limit display on the Waze app is too small, making it difficult to read while driving. Its position in the corner of the screen is often obstructed by the steering wheel or phone holder, reducing its effectiveness. I suggest adding a feature that allows users to customize the size of the speed limit sign and speedometer, as well as reposition them anywhere on the screen. This will improve visibility and accessibility, ensuring a safer driving experience.

Saved places folders
It would be nice if individual saved places could be saved in separate folders. Possible one for family, shopping, vacation, activities, etc. It would make it faster and easier to find a place without scrolling through my entire saved list.

Police
Sorry to upset all of the folks asking for more features to warn of police presence but this is a childish feature which should be removed. Waze is a great app and you would be best served by taking the "high road" and promoting the app as an aid to road safety by making drivers aware of road situations and hazards. But many wazers like me have their kids also driving and I am just waiting with dread for the day that a fellow wazer tells a drunken driver how to avoid a policeman and then that drunk driver kills…

Geotagged event triggers
Allow the user to define an event such as playing one of your own sounds, display one of your own photos or play a music track at or near specific places. Example uses - get onto a fast stretch of road and your music changes, and changes back when you get into town again. Get a mile from a toll booth and a note appears telling you how much money to have ready. Drive near a grocer and your recording says "don't forget to get the eggs". Go past a tourist attraction and a recording tells you about it. You…

To have options to report unsafe areas (Eg.South Africa - Riots) so that tourists and people unaware don't drive into said areas
I am from South Africa and unfortunately we often have riots and there are areas that aren't safe to drive. It would be good to have an option that allows this to be highlighted or reported (as we do with traffic) so people that are unaware don't intentionally drive into dangerous areas.

Speedlimit Without Speedometer!
Why does the Speedometer have to be on in order to see the speed limit!?
When the Speedometer is on the size of the speed limit is reduced enough to make it very hard to read (Android Auto).
Why not allow the speed limit to show without the Speedometer so it can stay legible for older eyes that can't read 6pt fonts at a distance of 3+ feet?

Stop using last direction of travel to determine directions on startup.
Waze should not use the last direction of travel for determining routes. Instead of routing 5 turns to go the opposite direction on a roadway, waze should just say "go east/west/north/south on xx" or just not have any audible direction and send you on the fastest path mid segment.

Search results not close to my location.
Usually, the first few search results are hundreds or even thousands of kilometres / miles from my location. Search results should default to the closest to me, unless I add more details on the search location, like town/city.
