It would be SO SO helpful to be able to list rest area/ service areas where drivers can stop to use the facilities or stretch their legs
REST AREA or SERVICE AREA on the map would be SO SO useful for long trips

In-app segment appearance for Unpaved / Pedestrian segments
As of now, different segment types almost all look identical in Waze. Offroad / unmaintained already have has its own look, so it would seem logical to get a visual differentiation for pedestrian segments and unpaved roads.
- Unpaved roads could get a "speckled" or '"hashed" look (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46149703-show-unpaved-roads-differently-in-app).
- Pedestrian segments could look just like on the live map.

button cancel route stopped working
After last update while running on Android Auto, button cancel route(in left bottom corner, button with cross and remaining time) stopped working, even though I see it is pressed - UI item changes the color when pressed. Button worked fine before with the same car and the same phone. It looks like it is pressed - there is visual feedback, but nothing happens.

Show route shields in the current road name bubble (bottom of screen) during navigation instead of plain text route numbers
Currently in Waze, the current road name displayed at the bottom of the screen during navigation only shows plain text (e.g. “M1 - Monash Fwy”) without the road shield symbol while route shields already appear in other parts of Waze (map and directions), but not in the current road bubble, creating inconsistency.
This suggestion is to display the route number as a proper shield symbol within the current road name bubble, instead of it being in plain text with a hyphen next to it. This will help reduce the clutter in the current street name and allows more room for more text.
To fix this please display the route shield icon inline with the current road name. For example, instead of "M1 - Monash Fwy", show "🛡️(M1 shield symbol) Monash Fwy" only where a valid shield exists and maintain readability at all zoom levels and screen sizes.

level 4 & 6 mood
Bonjour Reader,
Could you add the mood of the editor in levels 4 and 6 in WME to the client Waze for different visiblity on live map because they are the best.
An editor can choose differents moods editor when he wants not just the dinosaur for levels 5.
Tanks.Bonjour Lecteur,
Serait-il possible d'ajouter les humeurs d'éditeur pour les niveaux 4 et 6 du WME dans l'application Waze, afin d'avoir une visibilité distincte sur la Live Map car ce sont les meilleurs. Un éditeur pourrait ainsi choisir différentes humeurs quand il le souhaite, au lieu d'avoir seulement le dinosaure pour le niveau 5.
Merci.Boungiorno Lettore,
Sarebbe possibile aggiungere gli umori degli editor di livello 4 e 6 del WME nell'app Waze, per avere una visibilità diversa sulla Live Map dato che sono i migliori. Un editor potrebbe così scegliere diversi umori quando vuole, invece di avere solo il dinosauro per il livello 5.

Option for "Safety-Aware Routing" Prioritizing Shelter Proximity
I suggest adding a routing option that allows users to find routes optimized not just for speed, but also for proximity to designated safety shelters (e.g., bomb shelters, emergency shelters) along the way. In emergencies, knowing you're on a path with quick access to a shelter could be crucial. This would be different from navigating to a shelter, but rather keeping shelters nearby while en route to a destination.

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 the roadmap yet. Adding this on here, as suggested by a UK Country Administrator.

Squares highlighted in green on the map
At the moment, squares don’t have green highlights on the map, which contradicts reality — in the editor, they only appear green on the map if we mark the location as a park. My suggestion is that squares should also appear highlighted in green on the map, providing a better visual experience and making it easier for users to find green spaces for leisure in their daily lives.

Add Navigard traffic control [ITALY]
Since Januarry 1st, 2026 the highway system in Italy added a new trafic control system called NAVIGARD.
As affected routes are public, would be super usefull to have it as a new alert type in WAZE.Thank you for considering.

Option to display MILE MARKERS on interstates.
Please add an option to display mile markers on the map when traveling interstates. Some locations like rest areas are already defined by mile markers within Waze, and the data is already available on the back end so it shouldn’t be difficult to implement. It could be optional and off by default. But it absolutely helps road safety by being able to accurately report emergencies by way of mile marker designations on open stretches of interstate. Also very useful to professional drivers.

Waze horizontal average speed zone lone
When driving in average speed zone in vertical view i can see a light blue line that indicates i am still in the average speed zone but when in horizontal view i can't see it. Please add this line to the map when it's horizontal. When i am in my car and driving this is important for me and other drivers.

Convoy
Convoy Feature
A set of features to allow a group of travellers to monitor/follow each other via the Waze App. Many holiday makers, but also clubs & professional organisations often need to travel together, and need to be able to track & monitor that the "convoy" members remain together, and is up to date on the latest location, destination, as & when things may change or issues may arise.
Up to 6 Wazers can enable "participation" (location sharing) with a "Leader" that would invite them to join a "convoy".
Each Wazer can then see/monitor the other vehicles & leader, and be sure to follow the same path/direction as the leader.
Within the MAP View the 5 other Wazers would be visible as small icons on the map( depending on zoom)
Each wazer would see the path/route to the "Leader" as default (top of the list), but could select any member of the "convoy" if needed (perhaps they are lost or have an issue) which would then display a path/route to that wazer.I could see this being used by casual users, clubs & prefessional organisations.

Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted line across both map views.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Please, please PLEASE give us a Shadow voice. The Sonic one is amazing and having the ability to switch over to his rival for a completely opposite vibe from Sonic would be hilarious and amazing all at once! I’d love to hear him get mad or annoyed with making U Turns and stuff. Make it happen!
