Dynamic Green Corridors: Infrastructure-Integrated Predictive Routing for Emergency Vehicles
This system connects Waze directly to a city’s emergency dispatch and traffic light grid using a secure, locked-down connection. When an ambulance or fire truck is dispatched, Waze calculates its route and instantly talks to the city's traffic systems to automatically change upcoming traffic lights to green. At the same time, Waze's engine predicts traffic bottlenecks 60 to 90 seconds ahead of the emergency vehicle and triggers a "flushing mode." This gives everyday drivers a clear, early countdown and lane instructions right on their screens, safely moving everyone out of the way and clearing gridlock before the emergency vehicle even…

Scaling Waze via Infrastructure Integration and Predictive Routing
Dear Waze Executive Team,
I joined the Waze community recently, and as a business owner, engineer, AI professional, and cybersecurity specialist, I immediately recognized the immense strategic value of your crowdsourced data model. Waze has successfully gamified and decentralized navigation; however, the next leap in market dominance lies in transforming Waze from a consumer mapping application into a critical pillar of B2G and smart-city infrastructure.
I have developed a high-level product framework for a premium or enterprise-tier ecosystem that I call "Dynamic Green Corridors." This feature leverages Waze’s predictive routing engine to interface directly with municipal traffic management centers, creating…

Apple Carplay HUD Integration Idrive 7
I am writing to formally request the implementation of Head-Up Display (HUD) turn-by-turn navigation support for the Waze iOS app via Apple CarPlay.
I currently drive a 2019 BMW 320d (G20) running iDrive 7. While Apple Maps seamlessly pushes navigation data, street names, and directional arrows directly to my windshield's HUD, Waze remains completely incompatible with this safety feature on iOS.
I am aware that Apple's CarPlay framework has included the necessary APIs for secondary displays for quite some time, and I know that Waze via Android Auto already projects to the HUD on iDrive 7. Furthermore, while the recent…4 votes -
התראה על רמזור שעומד להתחלף
כאשר נהג נמצא במרחק סביר מהרמזור, והרמזור ירוק ולא ניתן לדעת אם הוא עומד להתחלף אז שתהיה התראה שעל הנהג להאט כי הרמזור מתחלף לאדום וכך להציל חיי אדם, למנוע תאונות, ולהפחית עברות תנועה.

New danger type: Ford (road crossing low water/river)
New danger type: Ford (road crossing low water / river)
Proposal:
Add a new fixed danger category in WME for "Ford" crossings (roads that pass through shallow water, seasonal streams, wadis, or low-water river crossings).Reasoning:
Ford crossings present a unique and recurring road hazard that is not fully covered by existing danger categories. These locations can become dangerous due to weather changes, flooding, water depth variation, reduced traction, or limited vehicle capability.Benefits:
Improves driver awareness before reaching the crossing
Helps prevent vehicles entering unsafe water conditions
Particularly useful in rural, desert, mountainous, and seasonal flood areas
Supports regions…1 vote -
Pedestrian / Person on road" to Hazard Reports (On Shoulder)
Currently, there is no specific option to report pedestrians or people walking along the side of the road. When driving on narrow suburban or rural roads that lack sidewalks, encountering people on the shoulder represents a major safety hazard.
Many users currently use the "Animal" or "Object" report as a workaround, but this is neither accurate nor clear for oncoming drivers.
Proposed Solution:
Please add a dedicated "Pedestrian" or "Person on shoulder" sub-option under the Hazard -> On shoulder reporting menu.Why this is useful:
Safety first: It would instantly alert drivers to slow down and pay extra attention, which…

Driving to work? Let's GO NOW!
When Waze asks "driving to work?" and I tap Go, Waze should just go directly to navigation per my preset preferences - instead of asking me two more times, and having me tap again and again in order to get going!

Smart Routing for Buses and Trucks - A Must-Have Feature for Waze
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a dedicated navigation mode for buses and trucks, with routing that takes large vehicle limitations into account.
Today, Waze is excellent for private cars, traffic updates, and real-time navigation, but it can be very problematic for buses and heavy vehicles, especially in Israel and particularly in the Tel Aviv area.
Many streets are extremely narrow, have sharp turns, low clearances, weight restrictions, or are simply not suitable for large vehicles. As someone who works in tourism and frequently travels with tourist buses, I have personally experienced situations where Waze directed our…

Warehouse services
Last year, a large apparel shipment for my online store arrived at the Tacoma port completely disorganized—pallets had shifted during the long voyage, boxes were crushed, and SKUs were mixed up, creating a nightmare right before our biggest sales push. After stressing over potential returns and refunds, a fellow importer recommended reliable rework freight services nearby. Their experienced crew in Fife sorted everything meticulously, rebuilt the pallets with proper bracing, repackaged damaged items, and got the inventory back into sellable condition quickly. What started as a potential disaster ended with almost no losses and fast redelivery. If messy or damaged…

Add a setting for text size on map
On the 5 inch wireless bluetooth display on my bike, I can't read street names because they are just too small. If there was a text size adjustment that would help immensely.

Distance Reticle
It would be very helpful on the Waze app to have the option when scrolling away from your current position to have a marked reticle Displayed in the center of the screen and an arrow pointed toward your location with two numbers by the reticle. One for distance as the crow flies and another noting the driving distance to that reticle location. Thanks.

Add a new alerts feature for usual police radaring spot
Add a program that would collect all the data from reports of where police are and use the information to display “usual police radiating spots” or something like that. Whenever I pass a police car on the road they are always in the same couple spots everyday and everyday I report them being there through Waze. It would be nice if through Waze when I’m a mile away from that usual hangout spot for police if it would notify me “Usual police radar spot” that would be helpful.

Importing a planned route into Waze
My friends and I often go riding with the motorcycle, convertible, or old‑timer.
Most of the time we follow pre‑planned routes that are created in, for example, a .gpx file.It would be a real win‑win if Waze could offer a way to upload these planned routes, combined with real‑time obstacles, roadworks, and controls.
Right now, we can enter our destination and Waze gives us the most recent updates. We’re curious whether it might become possible in the future to import a planned route.
Fingers crossed already.

Reduce Distance in which School Zones are Merged
Currently, two school zones with 500 m (1640 feet, or about 0.31 miles) will be merged. This can lead to the driver being told they are within a school zone for over 0.5 miles, when they are not. The criterion for merging should be a shorter distance, with no merging if the zones have different speed limits.

Fire Truck Icon
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest the addition of an official fire truck and emergency vehicle icon/mood within the Waze application.
This feature could be very useful for firefighters, rescue teams, and emergency response personnel, allowing better visual representation within the Waze community.
Beyond the visual aspect, this implementation could also strengthen engagement from emergency service users and support road safety awareness initiatives.
Suggested vehicle icons could include:
- Fire engine
- Ambulance
- Rescue vehicle
- Rapid response unit
These icons could also be released during safety campaigns, emergency preparedness events, or special community activities.
Thank you for considering this suggestion…
