Please change back the car on the road hazard!
Please change back the car on the road hazard alert! You guys recently changed the icon’s color and the look and I’m not sure why. It looks too much like the traffic alert icons and therefore harder to distinguish as easily at quick glance on the map.

Improper hazard alerts for vehicles parked on road shoulders
In the city where I live, some roads have shoulders on one or both sides. We know that these areas are not traffic lanes, but are intended for vehicles to stop or park temporarily. However, every day, no matter which route I take, I keep receiving the alert “hazard reported – vehicle stopped.” I can see that people are reporting this incorrectly, since a vehicle stopped on the shoulder is not a hazard. This alert should only appear when a vehicle is stopped on the actual lane, truly obstructing the way. Therefore, I believe this warning should only exist…

Add police alert on nearby roads
If the alert (police, traffic jam) is not on the road Waze users are driving on, there is no way to indicate that. For example if I drive on a road that is near a highway and there is an accidant on the highway there is no way to report it.
It would be nice to let users tap on the map to indicate the place of the alert. If no tap, it means that the place of the alert is the actual place.10 votes -
Automatically re-open closed roads when vehicles drive there again
Roadworks sometimes finish earlier than expected. When waze sees enough vehicles driving along a "closed" road, the closure should automatically be removed. Or at least flag the road for the local AM to check.

Hello. I think it would be good to have full functionally on Apple car play. It is rather when a road is closed you have to pull over. Unpll
There needs to be more functionality with Apple car play. It is very annoying when there is a closed road and I can’t get waze to re route without stopping. Pulling over, unplugging my phone and then reporting the road closed. I have also had a couple of annoying times where I have been unable to pave without having to jump through the same hoops.

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

avoid streets with poor road surface (loopholes, etc.)
assign a score to each street (ask the drivers), calculate the average score for each route and include it in the choice. + an option to chose the best quality road.
but currently the choice of three routes does not work at all: just yesterday the service have permanently ignored my choice instead trying to drive me over the route it considered shorter, despite my other choice. No option to complaine to this on the site.

Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic
Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic. There should be just one quick button which only says blocked and is used when the road that WAZE recommended was not taken because it was blocked. Currently a four way intersection has four choices on which part is blocked but you cannot stop in the middle of a busy intersection to tell WAZE which of the four roads is blocked. Past the intersection, it is difficult to enter this data into WAZE while still driving. A single blocked button will let WAZE figure out which recommended road was not taken.

Hi
So i have two suggestions for you, first one is that adding a road refresh future / botton (manual and automatic with 5,10,15,20, intervals) which refreshes the road a head so if there is a traffic change in road a head it changes the directions (with the sound that alerts you that "road refreshed" ) , of course if you are near the next turn or something like these it doesn't change this turn or direction and changes further ahead.
The Second one is that adding something like a custome map which you can add or share a…1 vote -
Big truck on side of the road.
Hello, would you consider: an option for "Big Truck" stopped on the shoulder? As someone who drives a commercial motor vehicle over a 130,000 miles a year, I can tell you that the majority of cars on the shoulder are abandoned whereas the majority of big trucks on the shoulder are broken down and or getting service at the time and there's usually a human being somewhere walking in and out of the highway at the truck is being repaired. With a little bit of notice, people will typically move over one lane to the left to allow room for…

HOV only ramps and roads
When Wazers select an HOV route, because of the way HOV was implemented, any direct access ramp or otherwise HOV only road will never be suggested.
Waze needs to be able to suggest all HOV options, including HOV only flyovers and ramps.

Put road length restrictions on Waze so overlength trucks will hopefully take an alternate route.
Can you put truck length restrictions on Waze so if an overlength trucker is using your app and is tempted to use a road with a length restriction they will hopefully take an alternate route?

Malaysia: Propose Road Names Come Before the Word “Road" or "Highway" or "Street"
Ir Teng Keat Hui , Mike
support@waze.com
Hi,In Malaysia, in the Malay language, the adjective comes after the noun.
For example:
"King Street" will literally become "Street King" in the Malay language.
So, when we are looking at the map and instructions in Waze, the actual name of the road is hidden when it is truncated.
For example
Lebuhraya Persekutuan where "Lebuhraya" is "Highway" and "Persekutuan" is the "name", when we view in our phones, we can only see "Lebuhraya" plus maybe a bit…

Would like to see better graphics on the road alert popups so easier to distinguish alert type if voice alerts are off.
Need different graphic for vehicle on side of road, construction, object on road, etc. If sound is off or not hears, the subtext (vehicle stopped on shoulder, vs construction, etc) are hard to read. Also, different graphics for visible vs hidden police alerts would be helpful.

smarter routes with road closures
Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:
We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).
Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to…

Road grade warning
It would be great to have an option to avoid/warn the user about roads with high grades (>15%) as some heavier vehicles may struggle climbing these hills.

I wanted to suggest a potential feature that I believe many drivers and riders would find extremely useful: an option to avoid roads with speed bumps or particularly rough road surfaces when planning routes.
This would be especially helpful for owners of lowered or modified cars, where speed bumps and uneven roads can cause scraping or damage, as well as for motorbike users, for whom rough road surfaces can be uncomfortable or affect stability. It could also benefit anyone transporting fragile items or simply looking for a smoother drive.
Since Waze already offers route customisation options such as…

“See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”
Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to…2 votes
