Ramp and road closures
If there is a way to report closed roads and highway ramps, I can't find it. And maybe others can't too, which could be the reason why closures I've driven up to this week were not reported. Sometimes a firetruck has a road blocked. Sometimes it's a block party or a broken down vehicle. The reasons don't matter. The closed roads and ramps are what matter

Name of road
Dear Sir,
Recently brazilian Federal Road 367 in the state of Minas Gerais was named after my father Murilo Badaro, former State Senator and State Secretary of Industry, Commerce and Tourism in the 80's.
I was navigating near the city of Divinopolis, Minas Gerais State and noticed that Waze shows the name given to that road, in this case, named after Congressman Jaime Martins do Espírito Santo (attached).
Considering this, I would like Waze to identify Road 367 from the city of Minas Novas to Aracuai (foto attached) with Murilo Badaro road!
This was possível based on Federal…

Display road number
Hello,
I’ve noticed recently that the road numbers (eg M6 or A72) are now in a coloured box with frequently white font which is very difficult to read. I have to put on my glasses specifically to be able to read the nummer indication which brings extra risk. Why was this changed from easy readable font to something ‘fancy looking ‘ that is much harder to read and can cause accidents? Please revert or provide an option for high contrast and better readability again.3 votes -
Road labels bigger
Dear Waze Support Team,
I am writing to propose an enhancement to the visibility of road labels within the Waze app and its Android Auto integration. Currently, the road labels and directions displayed are often quite small, making them difficult to read at a glance. This can lead to distraction and may impact driving safety.
By increasing the font size and improving the clarity of these road labels, we can significantly enhance user experience and safety, both in the main app and on Android Auto. This adjustment would be especially beneficial for users with visual impairments or those driving in…

If there’s a road closure acknowledge it and recalculate a route
I get that you need several people to confirm theres an actual road closure but if I am the first there and I need an alternative route, it keeps sending me back to the closed road.

Suggestion to add 'vehicle stopped in lane' in the 'hazard on road' option.
I often encounter vehicles stopped in the lane on the interstate as well as the surface streets. It would be helpful to have an option to report that hazard just as you can report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. This would definitely help drivers so that they are aware and prepared for that hazard.
138 votesGreat news! The option to report a stalled vehicle is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Add road closures when not on a route
Android and Car Play do not let you mark road closures while driving. In large cities, WAZE is often inaccurate because of the number of event road closures that go unreported. Please add a feature to add road closures for non-drivers and off-route drivers in large cities.

Vehicle NOT “car” on side of road
Recent changes to the hazard reporting system has it calling a vehicle on the side of the road always a car, but the majority of the time it’s not a car it seems. Why did it change from vehicle on side of road to car on side of road? It’s like the folks at Waze have never seen a truck.
It’s also also still too many taps to report this. Furthermore, the Button to report this is right in the middle which makes it too easy to tap something else, it should be either at the very top or…

reporting vehicles on the side of the road
when reporting a vehicle on the side of the road, if the "vehicle stopped" icon were on the second screen and not buried, would be safer. 5 user inputs vs. a possible 3 - less time looking away from the road and at the map/device

way to tell waze I'm in the other parallel road
Sometimes waze tells me to enter the highway when it has heavy traffic and the service road I am is much faster. Then I disobey him, but it thinks I'm in the highway and keeps collection wrong data.
I think we you could have an option that when enabled and waze can't be sure in which of 2 parallel roads I am, I could tell him he got it wrong.
It must be a single touch in the screen to alternate between the roads, because I would be driving when it happens.
This way I would generate better…

Road block notification and subsequent re route
When faced with a blocked road there is no way to reroute because whatever route you take initially it will try to take you back to the blocked road and this is very frustrating

Waze Unplanned Road Closure Alerts
Would it be possible for Waze developers to notify user of an unplanned route closure the moment point A and destination are entered? Having entered work destination (using multiple interstates), ware tried to reroute me may times to alternate roads - the MOMENT I logged on. It turned out the Interstate was closed 15 miles ahead, and I was stuck for 2 hours. If Waze knows the road has an issue along the route, an alert upon destination entry (like IMRIX) would be most helpful.
