don't allow dirt roads
I wish when I select "Don't allow" dirt roads it would navigate the route with the least possible dirt roads. It still routes me over dirt if it's a better route but don't allow to me means don't allow not avoid. I understand if the destination but it should still find the route with least dirt.

Easier closure/construction reporting
Add option under selection to report a closure on a segment as closed.
After u-turns and some other turns the arrow doesn't show where the closure is to be able to report it. In order to drive the route to reach the closure is not always feasible as well.
Right now under the map editor closing a road takes level 3 permissions, but would be helpful if as a level 1 editor that we could atleast select the segment and put notes in on where the closure is and the duration that is expected to then be applied by a…

Adjust Categories to cover Sports Clubs
Some of the categories don't quite cover what editors might be looking for. For example, Game Club should be a Sports Club, and a Club should be like a nightclub or function room type place. Currently, there is no category that covers a local sports club/function room. they're often a vital community asset and are used for plenty of social functions by non-club members which often leads to "non-locals" having to try locate them

Ability to update or suggest speed limit change in areas where it is posted and different than the map shows
There are places, within my area in Kansas, where the speed limit shown on the map does not match what is posted. Similar to being able to mark where police officers are, hazards in the road or even updating gas prices- there should be an option to click on the speedometer in the area and update it to match, OR submit this information in that spot when it’s found.

Allow easier editing of new addresses with homes facing the "wrong way"
Our development is a cul-de-sac with addresses that won't save in the map editor because the homes are all side-facing. This makes it difficult to share the address with guests if they aren't able to navigate there. Please allow all editors the ability to add their homes to the map.Thanks!

Set up a schedule
It would be good to be able to set a schedule, for example; weekdays leaving between 08:00 - 08:30 set destination as Work, leaving between 17:00 and 17:30 set destination as Home. I always set destination for regular routes as Wase tells me of accidents, traffic (and speed cameras 😇) It would be good it it had a timeout too, so if the schedule hadn't been used for say 60 minutes it automatically cancels.

bike paths
It would be cool if bike paths could be added and the category 'footpath' could be renamed to 'path', allowing one to select which type of path it is (footpath, bike path).

Continuous voice or sound alert for overspeed
When overspeeding:
Current: Sound alert once.
Expected: Repeated alerts until speed matches or is below the threshold.
Expected2: Human voice saying, "You are over the speed limit."3 votes -
Speedlimit by time period
There are some speed limits based on local time (eg, 16:00 - 20:00: limit 40mph otherwize 70mph).
Current: Not supported, or only supported in routing mode.
Expected: Supported, or supported in default map view.3 votes -
Custom speeds by user
This is just effected to the current user only.
Just like the emergency buttons in the default map view, individuals can pick a new button named "Custom Speed." From here, they can set a speed value and distance. Additionally, setting a time range would be even better.

More APIs for voice Assistants
Users can use Google Assistant, Siri, etc., to add alerts (e.g., road closures, weather) and to turn on/off Waze settings, such as reading the next speed limit and turning off reading aloud road names... etc

Request to Waze team
Request to the Waze Team
Please add a feature to Waze that uses OBD2 to provide vehicle speed pulses. Currently, when entering a tunnel, the vehicle stops on the map, so I would like this feature to ensure accurate navigation within tunnels.
In Japan, there are interchanges within tunnels, making accurate navigation difficult without this feature. To improve this, please enable the use of an OBD2 connector to provide speed information even within tunnels.
Additionally, I believe Waze could generate profit by supporting OBD2 and selling Waze-compatible OBD2 devices. It would also be helpful if these OBD2 devices could automatically…

Railroad Crossing info
my idea would be trying to either intergrade the USA FRA railroad crossing locator app into waze or make it so we can add the info manually so if at a crossing where there may be an incident a user can click on the crossing and it will bring up the crossing ID number and the emergence contact phone number for the Railroad.
I feel like this feature could possibly save lives considering most do not know where to look for the signs at the crossing nor know that the locater app even exists.

Move the Triangle reporting icon to the LEFT side of the screen on Car Play to make it easier for the driver reach
FOR SAFETY REASONS...
Moving the report triangle to the left side of the Car Play screen would make if FAR easier for the DRIVER to report Hazards and other actions.
Currently, having the triangle on the RIGHT side of the screen requires reaching and taking eyes completely off the road to accurately click the icon. This is especially critical on newer vehicles with LARGE screens like Toytota Tundras. Moving the triangle to the Left side of the Screen would enhance safety and be easier to reach.3 votes
