Autodetect closures and closed roads
Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.
Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a…

Show arrows on map to indicate the road driving direction
When stuck in traffic and waze doesnt give options for alternative routes.
It would be helpful for the driver to see the further road directions for manual instant planning.1 vote -

Feature Suggestion for Toll Payment Navigation in Malaysia Dear Waze Team, I’m Mr. Chua Wey Choong from Malaysia (User ID: RyanChuaaaaaaaa
Dear Waze Team,
Currently, when approaching a toll plaza, many drivers are unsure where the RFID, SmartTAG, or cash lanes are located. This often leads to last-minute lane changes, causing traffic congestion and, at times, dangerous situations.
Suggestions for Improvement:
Toll Logo on the MapWhen a driver is approaching a toll plaza, display a small toll logo on the map to indicate its presence.
Alternatively, provide a small pop-up notification when nearing a toll.
Lane Positioning for RFID UsersShow a box displaying the approximate position of the RFID lane (e.g., "RFID is at lane 9/10") when a…

I would like to know if the road ahead of me has not had any waze drivers in the immediate past If there are no reports.
There should be a way of highlighting the map to warn of lack of recon (other waze drivers) in the previous 10 or 20 minutes for the road ahead. I would feel much more secure especially regarding police.

while we still need to improve this a bit (work on special scenarios that involve ramps and other special road types), the issue should be fixed. If you still notice problems with it, please writ to alpha@waze.com

Speaking road name/numbers in other languages
I am English living in Hungary. Waze in Hungarian does nor speak the road names/numbers. Since Hungarian is a phonetic language, it must be a relatively standard task to write the code for Hungarian.
I am not just blowing hot air - my partner is a phonetic linguist, and I do IT. So if you want to get this going, we could provide support.1 voteThank you for your suggestion! Waze now supports many local languages. Please check under Settings > General > Language.

Drag racing on Honeycutt Road, Cumberland County, Fayetteville NC
At certain hours (at dusk and when it’s dark), there are drag racers that frequent HoneyCutt Road in Cumberland County and on the Fort Liberty side as well. They frequent this road, because there are no traffic lights after the one by Simmons Airfield. Those individuals will ride your bumper and speed around you. Whenever there have been accidents they’re usually severe due to high speed. So people need to be aware. Department of Transportation are very much aware of this ongoing issue and they have done nothing to install additional traffic lights as that would cut down on…

Don't take us down road where we have
Don't take us down road where we have a stop sign but ongoing traffic does not - I went around the block per Waze directions only to sit in traffic for 10 minutes trying to merge onto the very street Waze had me leave.

Option to disable road ahead for users with Android Auto or Car Play
During my reports I received one complaint that a user who doesn't use the Waze app directly cannot cancel out Waze recalculating them back on the main road, if there was an ability to quickly x out a road ahead as one of the choosable icons on the screen (Maybe an icon with a picture of a crossed out road which will tell Waze that the next segment is not an allowable route and should be recalculated), that may be safer and more preferred to give users with Android Auto and Car Play an option so that they don't…

No service, no reporting of police, hazard or any other problems on the road
When I had no phone service, I couldn't report problems on the road.
Some of my GPS apps put me in memory like mode when I encountered no service issues.

Add User-Configurable Filter to Hide Road Closures Older Than X Hours
In regions experiencing dynamic events like protests, construction, or natural disasters, road closures can appear and disappear rapidly. Unfortunately, Waze currently displays all reported closures—regardless of how old or potentially outdated they are—until another user manually clears them or the system detects traffic through them. This results in a cluttered and often inaccurate map, especially in countries like Panama where road conditions can change daily.
Request:
Please implement a user-configurable filter to hide or de-emphasize road closures that haven’t been confirmed or re-reported in a given time frame (e.g., 24, 48, or 72 hours). This would allow drivers to better…

Road closures
Please update your maps when roads are closed during long term construction… seems Google maps have this feature.. may start using it instead as this seems to be an ongoing issue that Waze has failed to address

Push the start date limit for road closures an extra month in the future
Right now, map editors can place road closures at most one year in advance. When an event ends, they often announce next year's date. It would be handy if we could add those closures at that point, even if the event will take place like a weekend later next year. Now, we often have to set a reminder to add these next week or so. Therefore, I'd like to propose this limit gets pushed one extra month in the future, making the limit 12+1 months. It might be best to adjust this limit for some other related things, such as…
