Loading Status
I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

Add start/end for average speed zones in WME and take them into account in the app
We need two new PH camera types for average speed zone start and end detection or a similar approach, which would allow the editors to map the start and end of average speed sections on top of the existing flag for the segments. The cameras would serve the following functions:
Indicate the start of a zone or a section in the zone - to be used for the alerts in the app instead of the segment flag. This would improve the accuracy and the experience for drivers who join the zone/section in the middle, including in residential areas where the…

Allow to select which alerts we do want - allowed speeding (+/- 5km/h), police and speed-cams, etc.
Currently we either have all alerts or none.
The problem is, we get alerts like: reduced zone ahead, or if "speeding" so traveling 1-2km/h above.
So I have alerts disabled, but then I neither get important alerts.Allow to select us which alerts we want:
1. speedig - yes/no/yes, if exceeds N km/h
2. reduced speed zone ahead
3. police and speedcams
4. other dangers (potholes, roadkill, car stopped)
5. warnings (fog, etc.)1 vote -
Voice detection for non english/german destinations is UNUSABLE in the middle-EU
Voice detection - especially when entering new destination is UNUSABLE for non english addresses, so for most of the EU, but especially in non german countries.
Allow to use Gemini / chatGPT or other AI tool for VOICE detection! It's a must!
Or at least allow the passenger to enter the address from the touchscreen!1 vote -

Subject: Suggestion for Faster Incident Reporting on the Main Map
Hello,
I would like to submit a suggestion regarding the usability and safety of the Waze app.
I believe it would be very useful if, on the main map screen while following a chosen route, users could configure, for example, their 3 favorite incident reports. These could be displayed vertically, from top to bottom, next to the speedometer icon.
For example:
Mobile Police
Car on shoulder
Right lane blocked
This feature would allow drivers to mark relevant incidents more quickly and safely. Currently, the list of options is quite long,…1 vote -
Amélioration du paramètre “Éviter les péages”
Bonjour,
Je souhaite vous soumettre une problématique que je rencontre régulièrement lors de l’utilisation de Waze, notamment à proximité des sections à péage.
Waze me redirige presque systématiquement vers une portion à péage pour gagner 1 ou 2 minutes, alors que ce gain de temps n’est pas toujours utile ni souhaité.
Lors de la programmation du trajet, il est possible de choisir un itinéraire sans péage ou un itinéraire plus touristique lorsque l’on a le temps, ce qui est très appréciable.
La reconfiguration du trajet en temps réel en fonction du trafic est une fonctionnalité formidable, voir géniale, qu’il est…1 vote -

I do lot of travel in my work and I need to see it separated as I input destinations every day and mileage ... and it is confusing when I dont see them separated.. Thank you

Sound alert on/off toggle for re-routing notifications
I am a professional heavy vehicle driver and use Waze constantly. As only one additional stop is allowed, I take numerous side trips off my set designated route. The constant rerouting sound is quite annoying and personally, I dont need to be notified audibly that I am leaving the nominated route and would like the option to turn it off when not needed.

Traffic simulator
If you have plenty of free time, choose this “amazing” app. It will confidently guide you straight into the worst traffic jams. And if the road ahead isn’t congested enough, don’t worry - Waze will reroute you to somewhere with an even bigger mess. Peak inefficiency, perfectly automated

If a National Weather Service (NWS) alert or warning is active or soon to be active, issue an alert to users before providing the nav guidance to or through that affected polygon.

Speed camera alert when not speeding
Hi,
I’ve been using Waze for 7 years and it’s been great, however I’ve moved to an area filled with “smart motorways” which mean the speed limit changes.
This means that if I come up to a speed camera and the motorway is set to 40mph I will not get alerted because Waze still thinks it’s 70mph. Please give us a way to make speed cameras alert every time instead of only when speeding as this could cause many issues for people and cause unnecessary tickets on smart motorways.
I only drive with “alert only” so if you can make…

Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue
I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety problem with Waze routing in South Africa.
Waze repeatedly routes users through extremely dangerous areas and known hijacking hotspots in order to save only a few minutes of travel time. This has placed myself, my family members, and many others into life-threatening situations, including multiple attempted hijackings.
This is not hypothetical. There is documented precedent of fatal incidents caused by GPS routing into unsafe areas in South Africa, including the widely reported case of an elderly couple murdered in Cape Town after following…1 vote -
Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback regarding the recent change to the pop-up warning banners for speed and red light cameras. These alerts were previously Red but have recently changed to a dark gray/black color in Night/Dark mode.
I strongly urge you to revert these alerts back to Red for the following safety reasons based on driving psychology and neuroscience:
Visual Saliency (The "Pop-Out" Effect): Studies show that the human brain has a "Saliency Map" that scans for high-priority colors. Red triggers stronger gamma-band oscillations…1 vote -
Subject: Restore Red Color for Speed and Red Light Camera Alert Banners
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback on the recent UI change regarding the pop-up alert banners for speed cameras and red light cameras.
In previous versions, these alerts appeared in a bright red banner, which was immediately noticeable. In the current update, the banner has changed to a dark gray/black color. While this might look "modern," it creates a significant visibility issue, especially when driving in Dark Mode or at night.
The dark banner blends into the background of the app, making it difficult to distinguish an important safety warning from other map elements at a glance. For driver…1 vote -
Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere
Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere. It knows you entered the tunnel and shown you the exit to the, but when you lose gps signal it can’t find you and you can take wrong exits.. also stating each trip should allow you to choose tolls or not..
