Adding prohibited signs
Is it possible to add prohibited signs like no left turn no u turn or right turn no left turn/u turn signs so people would know where to turn and stuff so that way they’re not lost and confused and that includes durning specific times like 7am-4pm Monday through Friday for example at an intersection that does not allow it on the map display wether it’s on your smartphone or in your car infotainment system because a lot of new cars these days have wireless apple carplay and android auto and I would like it if it alerted you ahead…

Speed monitoring for verbal alerting on fixed camera
There is no verbal alerting for fixed camera. I also noticed that Waze checks the speed of my car about 250 meters before the fixed camera. Afterwards, there is no longer a monitoring of the speed (during the last 250 meters before the camera). Therefore, if the driver increases the speed by lack of attention i.e. because he missed the message displayed on the Carplay screen, he becomes exposed (it was my case …). Would it be possible to develop the following improvement (as being an option in the configuration).

Notifications - Moving modal and/or providing users with ability to "X" out of notifications
In Apple Carplay, Waze notifications pop up and push the directions modal into a small bar with no information except what kind of turn and how far away it is. It removes the worded directions and has made me miss my turn plenty of times. There is no option to "X" out of the notification, only answer "Still there" or "Not still there", but what if I haven't reached the area yet so I can't accurately answer the prompt but need to see my directions? As someone who drives with the sound off in Waze, I'm requesting to provide…

Make it work
Ever since Google bought it, Waze has become less and less reliable. I use it, or try to use it, with Carplay and it gets confused on interstates and lost on secondary roads. I often have to pull over and turn the car and phone off and restart both when making a trip I make very often. I tried to check a route using the web site and it finds the starting pointing and destination, but then just spins and never figures out how to get there. I end up using other navigation apps. I don't know what Google has…

Add a wireless OBD2 sensor for additional vehicle safety information
Suggest adding a wireless Bluetooth OBD2 device (BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+) so Waze can access safety features from your vehicle such as:
1. Blind spot warning
2. Accidental lane departure
3. Show when turn signals are on - for those that forget - optional beep after 5 seconds and before my wife says “YOUR BLINKERS ON!!!”
4. Etc.Option - For lane departure and blind spot warning above - when the two are triggered the Waze display or the hud display below could kick in the appropriate mirror camera video (if the vehicle has mirror cameras) so you see the…

Make pop up navigation banners informational only
Please add the option to make navigation pop-up banners in CarPlay informational only, and not only an active selection option. Too frequently when I am trying to select something while in the Music or Podcast app (previous track, pause, jump ahead, etc.), the Waze banner keeps incessantly popping up with a navigation direction, and when I think I am selecting an option in the Music or Podcast app, it then selects the banner, taking me to Waze on my car display. In the most ideal scenario, I should only be looking at my screen for a very brief moment to…

Record audio while reporting an issue (and convert to text?)
When I'm using "report an issue" functionality in CarPlay/while driving, I cannot type what the issue is about. Later, when I'm asked by some community member what the issue is about, I have to recall what it was about and there were cases that I forgot. The issue categories got narrowed so we can't pick the exact issue while reporting it (I don't understand the removal of speed limit issue - the most common issue I'm reporting!).
Since Waze has access to my microphone, I was thinking that maybe a short recording could be made after I report an…

Afficher systématiquement les prochains changement de direction sur l'écran de voiture
Bonjour,
Actuellement chaque directive de waze (changement de direction...) est affichée en haut de l'écran (dans un rectangle noir) pour compléter les indications de guidage sur la carte. Lorsque que la directive suivante est située proche de la première un second message s'affiche avec les mots "puis ensuite ...".
Ma suggestion est d'afficher systématiquement la seconde et éventuellement la troisième directive à suivre (puisqu'il y a de la place en dessous de l'écran, surtout sur un écran de voiture).
Il est vrai que la liste des directives s'affichent systématiquement sur l'écran du téléphone (avec les distances intermédiares) lorsque ce dernier…2 votes -
Add point of interest POI for future
Basically i was driving in a new city and i passed by a building that looked interesting that had a nice looking restaurant, i couldn’t read the name of the restaurant because i was blocked by a bus, this is when i wished i had an option to just add a POI through Carplay by the (what do you see) menu, and when i get home the app would remind me that i added a POI so i could search it up and come back to it later.
When you pass by a place you find interesting and would want…

Screensaver
In Ontario/Canada as per Highway & Traffic Act, it is illegal to use smartphone/device without hands free operation, and police have stated that submitting status info on apps such as Waze is illegal as per Act and grounds for ticket for not driving “hands free”. Fine for doing so (and using Waze) and distracted driving is currently over $600-800 and 3’demerit points.
Of course I observe police cruisers driving with hands on computer console violating traffic act.
It would be great to have a screensaver (blank screen or other) that could be quickly toggled on Waze display (phone and/or CarPlay…

Caravan Mode / Follow Me Mode
I've been thinking in a new mode for Wazers... I've been driving with family along the road in different vehicles, not once we've been able to keep the same speed or pace and we end loosing sight of where the vehicles are. In Mexico safety its a very important matter, and everytime we are not able to see where the other cars that are driving with us we call them or text them to see if everything is fine. I imagine a Caravan Mode in which multiple Waze accounts are linked for a trip and you can watch the vehicles…

View a route in steps display color
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make/create a way for Wazers to customize colors, icons and text sizes that work for them!!!
I have to use the Waze app. My display screen shows the map but in order to view the route in steps I have to use my iPhone. I have CarPlay, I don’t have a touchscreen, and I don’t have built in navigation system. The major issue is the inability to customize the background color, text color and the color of the icons, example: exit number, route number etc. by each step. The only options are a black background with…1 vote -
Navigation Info Obscuring ETA on I-285 West in Atlanta, GA (Exit 61 – Airport)
Hi Waze team,
I’d like to report a usability issue I encountered while using Waze with Apple CarPlay. When driving on I-285 West near Atlanta, Georgia, heading toward Exit 61 (Airport / Domestic / Atlanta / Montgomery / Columbus), the navigation panel becomes too large, displaying an extended list of destinations and road names.
In this specific case, the upcoming turn involves I-85 South and multiple destination labels, causing the black instruction box on the left side to expand significantly. This box completely blocks the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and other useful trip data, making it impossible to…

Thank you for creating such a wonderful navigation app!
I’ve been using Waze for quite a long time, and I truly appreciate the quality of your map service. It’s very user-friendly, thoughtful, and considerate, especially with its strong focus on driver safety. Even speed bumps are clearly alerted, which is impressive.
There are a few improvements we hope you could consider to make Waze even more widely used, helping more people travel safely and conveniently:
The Waze icon may feel cheerful, but it should also look more professional and clearly represent a navigation or map app. The current icon feels…

In dual screen mode show in main screen the whole route, not just mirror current view
In dual screen mode (main screen and small screen above steering wheel) show on main screen the whole journey from current position to the destination (the same as Google Maps do). Right now main screen only mirror small view in a different scale.
I described it here with some photos:
