Better 'ok Google' voice control
Since its simple enough to configure Google to auto-listen for 'ok Google' and its voice recognition is much faster than the three-finger touch version in Waze, could Waze implement a full set of commands for the 'ok Google' interface?
Examples:
* Okay Google, Navigate home with Waze (obvious)
* Okay Google, Send alert police with Waze (sends notification)
* Okay Google, Add stop, coffee with Waze (opens the add-stop interface with a search result for 'coffee')
* Okay Google, stop navigating with Waze (stop current navigation)Better touchless controls should be a major priority and the Android voice system is…

Use Google maps as a fallback if an address is not found on Waze
Many times I am unable to find a destination using the search function in Waze. Google Maps never has a problem finding the same locations.
So my suggestion is: why not query Google maps for the GPS co-ordinate and then route the user to those co-ordinates?
I realize this might not work 100% of the time, but it will work at least 90% of the time, which is better than the current state of affairs - where addresses with street numbers in them only work about 5% of the time.

It would be nice to just disable the Search bar from view for regular driving when there is no active Waze navigation going on.
yes, I can confirm that the Search bar does indeed disappear from the view when actively navigating. However the issue is that it blocks the view at the bottom when you are just driving normally around when you don't need any navigation and you know where you are going, and you are just contributing the real-time data of the current traffic conditions and you can provide user-submitted reports along the way. It would be nice to just disable the Search bar from view for regular driving when there is no active Waze navigation going on. Thank you for your consideration.
9 votesThanks for your suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation.

TOLL
Please include the feature which allows the user to know the amount and the number of the toll on the route. It's important for the user to plan the trip and also budget friendly for the middle and lower class users, although it seems impossible to collect data for all the tolls rates. But lettings user to estimate the budget will be the GOAL.
9 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Report buttons simplified
Report menu needs to be easier to use, especially when driving. 4 options per screen only. Gas prices and other featured are nice but should not be on main report menu. Also sometimes authorities can be helpful. Reports of accidents could be sent to them.
Also how about report drunk or reckless drivers to authorities9 votesHolding or swiping the Reports button will bring up the 3 most used reports, making the process faster. You can also use voice reporting with Google Assistant.

Prevent speed camera warning from coming up after dismissing notification {x} number of times.
If you use Waze for your daily commute, you pass the same speed cameras and traffic lights every day. I would suggest that if you dismiss the speed camera or traffic light warning popup {x} number of times (where {x} is a preset default, or user configurable) then Waze knows you know there is a speed camera there and will prevent the popup. Too many popups mean you naturally learn to ignore them.
9 votesYou can disable speed cam notifications as well as other types of notifications in Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports.

Turn off construction alert - bug and improvement
There are other suggestions for this but some are old so I am also adding a new one. The audible alerts for costruction and not at all helpful and very annoying. I have selected to not show alerts for construction yet they show on the map. One zone near me has up to 5 different alerts from people throughout the construction zone, including a spot where the "End Road Work" sign is visible. I get it, people (hopefully passengers) are bored and play with the app. But the audible warnings interrupt my music or podcast and get very frustrating.

Pick and choose specific alerts
I'd like to be able to pick and choose alerts. I find that hearing "approaching a railroad crossing" every day on the way to work is just annoying. I'm thinking to myself "no ****, Sherlock". Really, the only thing I'm concerned about is where the smokeys are hiding.
8 votesGreat news! Customizing your alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Fast Report Buttons
It takes too many interactions to enter reports like Vehicle On Shoulder. Add buttons on the first report screen to immediately send 3 (or some number) of most common reports like Vehicle On Shoulder, Object In Road. Maybe even make it user configurable.

Option moto
Bonjour une petite question est il possible de créer un mode motards ou on est pas à valider ou non les alertes (pas facile de cliquer sur le pouce avec des gants moto) et dans cette version le waze puisse tourner en tâche de fond afin de ne pas devoir laisser l'écran du portable non verrouillé pour ne pas craindre que waze se coupe de lui même. .. écran déverrouillé waze reste actif mais consomme toute la batterie , le laisser tourner en arrière plan en mode moto limiterait la consommation. ..
Cordialement un vieil utilisateur8 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.
