Business Address Route to arrive on the right side of the street
For business address, hotels, commercial, etc. especially in busy downtown areas, please have the route always go around the block or whatever is necessary to arrive on the Right side of the street. For example dropping a passenger off in front of the building. Avoids having to do a mid-block u-turn or going around the block.

Police reported ahead vs emergency vehicle ahead
Police reported ahead should be an officer potentially looking for speeders. Police already pulling someone over with lights flashing, should fall under emergency vehicle ahead.

Age limit on appstore
Please lower the age restriction on AppStore, to the same age it was a week ago (or maybe less)
Since you updated it to 17+, I can no longer use your app, due to the restrictions I put on my phone, to filter content.
Thank you!2 votes -

Construction Closure: Intersections
I was thinking about how we can close roads on WME. It would be nice to be able to close multiple roads or just an intersection by drawing something like a junction box and then being able to set parameters. Sometimes Just an intersection will be closed for construction but you can still drive up to the construction to get to your destination. If it could just close within the box-

KnightRider
the whole shabang, with KITT as the voice if possible but the car for the map, especially if you could create the illusion of the moving light at the front. This would be iconic for everyone, even more especially as they’re discussing a new series.

Nuevas opciones
Hola equipo de Waze,
Quiero hacerles una sugerencia respecto a las opciones de reporte en carretera. Actualmente, cuando los usuarios queremos señalar la presencia de autoridades, solo aparece la categoría de “policía”, pero en países como Colombia también existen los agentes de tránsito, que cumplen funciones distintas y cuya presencia es igualmente importante para los conductores.Considero que sería muy útil para la comunidad de Waze que se incluya una opción específica llamada “agente de tránsito”, de manera que los usuarios podamos diferenciar entre ambas autoridades. Esto no solo aportaría mayor precisión en la información compartida, sino que también fortalecería la seguridad vial y ayudaría a los conductores a estar mejor informados en carretera.
En Colombia ambos roles son necesarios, pero no significan lo mismo:
Policía: se relaciona más con controles de seguridad y orden público.
Agente de tránsito: está enfocado en la movilidad, infracciones viales y regulación del tráfico.
La posibilidad de diferenciarlos mejoraría la experiencia de los usuarios y la calidad de los reportes. Sería un pequeño cambio con gran impacto positivo en la aplicación.
Muchas gracias por la atención y por seguir mejorando la plataforma día a día.

Reporting App Abuse / False Police Indicators
We have a neighbor who plays “Waze hall monitor” every single afternoon, marking that there’s a police officer in front of his house — even though there is never an officer present. He does this daily just to slow traffic in front of his home.
I’ve tried to report it, but the profile shows only as “anonymous.” When I click on the police icon, the only option is a thumbs-up to confirm it’s there.
Waze should add:
A “Not There” or thumbs-down option to counter false reports.
A Report User option to flag accounts that repeatedly post fake alerts.
This would stop people from abusing Waze and keep alerts reliable for actual drivers.

CarPlay voice reporting optional
Please make voice reporting optional in CarPlay. I’m seeing significantly less reporting since this feature was installed. Plus, I get an error every time press the button and it won’t let me use voice if I wanted to.

Now Bar Live Notification
Samsung phones definitely need live notification to be shown at 'Now Bar'. It would be much more convenient than to show only at notification centre.

Earlier notice for blocked lanes
Why in the world do we only get .2 miles notice for an upcoming blocked lane? Everything else is half a mile. This is equally important for drivers to know as far in advance as possible.

Show Suburb Name While Driving
It would be very useful if Waze could display the current suburb/locality name on the main navigation screen while driving. At the moment, suburb names only appear faintly on the map or in some voice instructions, but they are not always visible.
Having the suburb name clearly shown (for example, near the top or bottom of the screen) would help drivers quickly know which suburb they are in, especially in large cities with many small suburbs. This would improve situational awareness and make navigation more convenient.

Allow users to suggest speed limit corrections
Currently, speed limits on the map can only be updated by map editors. This process is slow, especially when the main source of information, like Google Street View, is outdated. This leads to inaccurate speed limits or missing data on many road segments.
This suggestion is to add a new reporting option that allows any user to suggest a correction to the speed limit. This would not directly change the speed limit on the map, but it would create a "pending edit" for map editors to review and approve.
How it would work:
A new "Map Issue" report could be introduced, allowing users to report an "Incorrect Speed Limit." When this option is selected, the user would be prompted to press a button at the start of the road segment where the new speed limit sign is located, and another button at the end of the segment where the speed limit changes again. This way, the system can automatically determine the exact length of the segment that needs to be corrected. This report would then be flagged for review by local map editors.
Benefits of this feature:
• Faster updates: Allows for quicker corrections of outdated speed limits, as thousands of users can provide real-time data from the road.
• Improved map accuracy: Ensures that the displayed speed limits are always current and correct, leading to a safer and more reliable navigation experience.
• Empowered community: Gives all Waze users a direct way to contribute to the accuracy of the map, beyond just reporting hazards.
• Reduced workload for editors: Editors would no longer have to manually search for outdated segments. Instead, they would only need to verify and approve user-submitted changes, making their work more efficient.
This feature would bridge the gap between static map data and real-time road conditions, making Waze even more accurate and community-driven.Currently, speed limits on the map can only be updated by map editors.

Notify nearby drivers of safety alerts such as headlights
I notice cars driving in the dark with day time running lights on. Their cars don’t automatically turn on their headlights and taillights but do turn on their dash lights. It would be nice to send them an alert and even instructions (especially if they are in a rental) to turn on their lights. It must be scary for them to drive with basic no headlights and it’s scary for me to see people drive without taillights. There can be other safety alerts such as the gas door open/ cap hanging. This would be an opt in thing to help young and non-car enthusiasts get help from the Waze community.

Ability to Mark Playground zones
Hello, I would like to see the ability to mark the start and finish of playground zones, very similar to marking school zones. Some playground zones are marked with times and others are marked from sunset to sundown which can pose a local problem depending but in general can still be marked using seasonal general times.

Pause Other Audio, not lower volume
I've seen claims there's a feature to pause spoken audio or other things when alerts come through - but I do not see that feature in settings. While the lowered volume when alerts come in isn't a problem for music, it is not ideal for listening to podcasts or long form video/audio essays, which is often what I am playing.
It lowers the volume of what is playing and then speaks over it, making it difficult for me to make out the alert it is giving anyway. I just started using this app in the past few days but this is the consistently biggest gripe for me, in an otherwise pretty great app so far.
