Request to Improve Malay‑Road‑Name Pronunciation in English Voice Guidance
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze’s voice navigation for users in Malaysia:
Currently, many Malaysian road names (e.g., “Jalan Tun Razak”, “Lingkaran Syed Putra”, “LEKAS”) are often mispronounced when using the English‑language voice, even though the spelling is correct. This can be confusing when driving because the spoken name does not match the local way people say it.
I would like to request that Waze:
1. Improve the English‑voice TTS engine to better handle common Malay‑language road‑name patterns (Jalan, Lebuhraya, Persiaran, etc.), so they sound closer to how Malaysians actually say them.

Enhancing Navigation by Selectively Considering Planned Road Closures
One possible solution could be to include a checkbox that allows editors to choose which planned closures are considered so important that they should be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective. This way, editors can select only the closures that are critical for navigation, while excluding those that are not as important.
For example, in Switzerland these days, the Gotthard Tunnel is closed at night for cleaning. This closure can cause significant disruptions to travel, as the Gotthard Tunnel is an essential link between German-speaking Switzerland and the Italian-speaking Ticino region. Without the tunnel, the detour…

Train Blocking Roads
Waze users need to be able to report if a train is blocking a road. I am a school principal and students are late to school because parents have no way of seeing if a road is blocked by a train until they pull up to it.

A "heatmap" showing roads you have previously driven on and how often similar to Stravas "Personal Heatmaps"
A map showing roads you have previously driven on and how much, the more used the road is the "hotter" it appears on the map. Then you can boast to your mates about how much of your town/county/country you have driven around!

Do you have a snow mode? Flat road mode.
I believe you should be able to click ONE button that says snow mode because that would say to WAZE to choose a route that has flat roads only, even if it takes me way out of my way it chooses either flat or the most traveled roads. That way, I will hit the least amount of icy hilly dangerous or unplowed side roads. It would override busy intersections or other choices but keep you flat and safe.

entering problems on the road backwards
Good day.
It has happened to me several times, and I believe I will not be the only one, that I drove past a place on the road where there was a traffic accident or obstacle and I wanted to enter it into Waze navigation, but it cannot be done backwards. Only in the place where I am. I think it would be good to be able to enter a problem on the road retroactively. Thank you.Dobrý den.

Road interdiction in Car Play and Android Auto
This week I came across a detour due to a closure of a road that was under repairs.
I looked for the option in Car Play and couldn't find it.It is impossible to drive through an unexpected situation of changing routes, diverting through a place that you are still trying to understand while disconnecting the device from the car to look for the interdiction option.
Concern increases as we are on the verge of events when the number of closures increases significantly.
Please add the option to Car Play and Android Auto.

way too hard to get road edit info to you. It rejected my google sign in - anyone should be able
dedicated map edit does not work - won't let me log in and I want to edit a road in the US Virgin islands. I can log in here - but not on site on my computer to share a screenshot of the real road.

Allow users to post information about road closures and hazards in their area, whether driving on the route or not.
I would like to be able to reject one of the suggested routes, if I know that the road is closed, for instance, and have Waze offer another suggestion.
I would also like to be able to suggest an alternate route by entering a road or tapping the map, and have Waze give me the ETA and traffic information along that route.2 votes -
Need the ability to note that some roads are private and closed to the public.
I live on a single lane, private road that is very dangerous. Unfortunately, Waze directs drivers to use my road when there is traffic backed up on the state highway that is adjacent to my road. I would like this road to be noted as "closed to public" (i.e. non-authorized traffic) on the Waze live map.

This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Need way to edit one lane bridge, due to long term construction, causes two way traffic to wait, traffic lights on ramps and road
Need way to edit/show one lane bridge, especially due to long term construction. Current situation causes two way traffic to wait while traffic lights on ramps and road cycle to allow only one ramp or roadway lane to proceed at a time from any direction.
No existing Waze edit function to mark local bridge that is under repairs and causing traffic delays. How can we show detour? All traffic is now funneled through one lane on bridge one traffic direction/lane at a time. No edit function to indicate this to warn drivers to avoid bridge, at least not for…

Safety road is follow one way circles
FOLKS, PLEASE READ THIS IS URGENT.
I have 20 years o driving experience, well my friends died on roads too.. Last time technical failure caused the truck in opposite direction lost its trailer. 80 + 80 = 160kmph = HE DIED.
Therefore I have imagined how ie. distributors (PpL, DHL,UPS..) travel in circles... In general average, I better don't want to meet these guys in opposite direction. In mathematical model I want to minimize other Wazers passin by. I'd like to get SOME model applied in general and follow just because I am scared of front crash. SOME could…1 vote -
Problem: many road bifurcations, specially in obtuse angle + multiple ramifications.
Hello waze team here is abe writing a suggestion.
Problem: many road bifurcations, or multiple ramification roads specially in obtuse angle + between primary and secondary non clear small roads bring about navigation mistakes.solution: upon getting near the critical point of deviation Please make an automatic zoom ( 80M radius) to the relevant area and also insert blinking / intermittent dots to all existing ramification points ( green Dot for the correct lane to follow and black dots for all non relevant existing deviation roads. this way the driver visualize the correct direction in the road…
