Display direction of new road (e.g. I-10 *West*)
Most of the time I get messed up using Waze is when I encounter a roadway or freeway turn where there may be immediate opportunity to go either way, e.g. I-10 East or I-10 West, or TriCity Parkway North vs. TriCity Parkway South. The display shows only "I-10" or "TriCity Parkway".

camera first
As a user option, allow me to open camera immediately upon press of REPORT button (as opposed to choosing the report type). This way the photo op won't be gone by the time I fumble through the type of report to submit. After photo is taken, I'll choose the report type, type in the details, and submit everything.

Symbian S^3 version for Nokia N8 and co ?
The Symbian S60v5 version can be launched on a N8 but it often crashes. Maybe the S60 version can be adapted to work better on N8 but you're the only ones who can confirm or not ;).
Thank you
6 votesAt the moment this is not planned, as Nokia itself announced the end of Symbian. Sorry guys.

Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects
I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)

Voice Instructions: Bear Right, Keep Right
Voice navigation instructions use "Keep Right (Left) in 2 conditions making it a bit confusing: When on an undivided road approaching a divided section of the same road, and when approaching an intersection with a gradual right (left) turn. "Bear Right (Left)" would be a more appropriate instruction for the 2d situation.

ROADWORK: leverage roadwork feed from Swedish transport administration
In Sweden, public feeds of roadwork and traffic events (accidents) are available at no charge on the internet.
Please enable the display of these in the waze client. They could also be used for improved routing.

Let users customize auto tweets such as "Acabo de reportar una redada policial, ..."
Traffic enforcement corps are different from country to country so it might be a good idea to let users tweak their auto tweets a little. They might have the application configured in a language but tweet in another, etc.

Show trip history for the same destination
It would be very useful if Waze could show a user’s previous driving history to the same destination.
Today, Waze only shows a small history/search icon for places that appeared in my past searches or navigation history. However, this does not provide enough useful information about when I actually drove there or how long the drive took.
The main benefit would be the ability to quickly see when I last drove to that destination. For example, if I search for a place I visited before, Waze could show the last time I navigated there, along with previous trips to the…5 votes -
Waze HUD Navigation Missing on BMW OS8 (Apple CarPlay)
Category: Bug Report / Feature Integration
Platform: Apple CarPlay
Vehicle / System: BMW with Operating System 8 (OS8)
Description
When using Waze via Apple CarPlay, navigation instructions and turn-by-turn prompts are not displayed in the vehicle's Head-Up Display (HUD) under BMW OS8.
Important Context: The vehicle's CarPlay HUD interface is fully functional. When using Apple Maps, all turn-by-turn arrows and lane guidance are projected onto the HUD without any issues. The problem is specific to Waze, as the app currently does not seem to output the secondary screen navigation data required for the BMW HUD.
Expected Behavior
Waze should utilize…5 votes -
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…

Marco quilométrico em Rodovias (Kilometer Marker on Highways)
Through WME, editors manually added a pin at the corresponding kilometer marker on a highway. Clicking on this pin would provide the following fields to fill in: Highway, Kilometer, Direction. Up to two highways could be added to each pin, with the "Direction" field being optional and the other two mandatory.
In the application, when driving on the highway, in addition to the highway emblem (which is already visible), the respective kilometer marker of the main highway added to the WME kilometer marker would also appear next to it. Thus, when driving on highways, we would visually know which kilometer…

Add Ilya Rozanov / Heated Rivalry Boice
Please add the Ilya Rosanov voice from Heated Rivalry TV show Crave/HBO Max as a sidekick option. This is being discussed in multiple Reddit forums on April 11, 2026. This is a fantastic idea and will boost Waze usage as the fandom is global!

Automatically adjust the size of the text for turn instructions for longer text to fit more on the screen
Currently if there is text in the visual instructions or towards that is really long, Waze will end up cutting off important information that could be useful in Android Auto.
My suggestion is to make this text be automatically adjusted so more can fit on the screen but can still be readable with the naked eye.
I'm not sure what is exactly the best way to go about this but currently I find it not as user friendly as it could be considering us editors try our best to get all the information out there only for like a fair…

Report temporary traffic lights using MapMate should generate a roadworks hazard not a UR
In the UK, when we have roadworks with an incursion onto the carriageway, they are often accompanied by temporary multi-way traffic lights. This allows the road to remain open, while controlling traffic flow over a narrow than normal bit of open road.
Since the introduction of MapMate reporting, we have noticed an increase in MapMate URs coming in referring to the presence of temporary traffic lights. This should not generate a UR, and should generate a "roadworks" hazard report.
I have raised this on the Waze Discuss MapMate thread, but it has been suggested that this feature is not on…

Create a new camera category to support new AI cameras
In Greece there are new AI camera installed on various spots in Athens. These cameras issue tickets for a plethora of traffic violations. Seatbelts, helmets, red lights, speeding, mobile phone usage etc. These cameras are now using a red light camera icon or a bus lane icon or sometimes speed camera icon. There should be a new category for those cameras that cover all the violations.

Pothole confirmation
Hello. We have many potholes on roads in Ukraine. They are correctly marked by wazers/users. Why waze asks me every time, each pothole, is it still there? Yes, if it was marked, it will be there for months, or even a year. It will not disappear in 15 minutes! Please fix this issue. It really distracts me. If the pothole was marked by 2 or 3 person, it is permanent. For the next few weeks it will be there for sure! No need to ask each driver, is it still there? If the pothole already exists on a road, it…

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…5 votes -
Have the correct 407 toll price
At the moment Waze is showing a price of $13.24 to take the 407 from Pearson Airport to Brock Rd. But if you look at the price on the 407 app it shows $38.50. Please update the prices!

Move control button to right hand side on right hand drive vehicle vehicles in Australia
Randomly sometimes the reporting buttons come up on my right hand side of screen close to my steering wheel on right hand drive car in Australia but doesn’t stay there. It usually opens up on the left-hand side which is a bit far to reach across the car to work anything can this be made? So it stays on the right hand side of the screen for a right hand drive car in Australia.
