Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Feature: Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Problem:
When one vehicle hard-brakes on a highway, it creates a backward-traveling shockwave. Due to human reaction times, vehicles behind brake even harder — causing a dead-stop jam with no actual obstruction. These "phantom jams" cause thousands of rear-end collisions yearly.
Proposed Solution:
Waze already collects real-time GPS telemetry from millions of drivers. If the system detects a sudden velocity drop, it could instantly push a "Reduce speed to 60 km/h" advisory to drivers further back — absorbing the shockwave before it cascades.
I Built a Working Simulation:

Turn off speed bumps
Make the speed bump notifications that way that people can turn it off, and to be able to turn off from the map also. It is very irritating when you are driving around the city and the speed bump warning pops up every 5 meters. It’s disgusting and annoying. 1. The alert covers up half the screen, and 2. the small yellow icons on the map are annoying as well because you cannot see the street names because of them.
Please just make an option where you can fully turn off speed bump warnings if you dont give a f*ck…2 votes -

I have a suggestion: it would be great to show stop signs and traffic lights on the route.
If we could go to Map Issue and note when there is a 2-way stop sign; a 4 - way stop sign; or a traffic light, it would improve Waze and help the driver when on a route to know what's coming up.

Average speed zone - keep indicator on screen in car play
If we can’t have the calculation of our average speed at least keep an icon on screen in car play. If we miss the notification we entered an average speed zone we may not realise we are in one.

Make the new arrow position work for those of us using the map facing North
Waze changed the position of the car to allow for more visibility for people who have the map facing their direction of travel, however they completely forgot about all of us who prefer the map facing North.
Now we are basically using 15% of the screen for navigation, the rest is dead space.
Also - whenever we are facing South we can’t see upcoming turns, forcing us to do potentially dangerous last minute lane changes.
This is a major safety concern and Waze needs to address it immediately!2 votes -
Add traffic signal icons to the map
Please add the traffic signal icons to wherever relevant in the map. Almost all other maps have it and it’s an amazing visual cue to understand something like I have to make a turn from the 3rd signal in front of me.

Hope Waze Adds 3D Maps
Hope Waze can add a 3D map view like Amap to make lane guidance clearer at complex junctions and highways. This would help drivers avoid choosing the wrong lane.
Since Google Maps is also introducing 3D maps, it would be great to see this in Waze too.

Always show the current street name bubble (even without active navigation)
Currently, Waze only shows the prominent bubble with the current street name when a destination is set. When driving without navigation, we have to look at the map to find small text on the roads, which is distracting and unsafe.
Please add an option to keep the current street name bubble fixed at the bottom/top of the screen at all times. This would greatly improve readability and driver safety for those who use Waze just to monitor traffic and alerts on familiar routes.

מקלטים מופיעים על המפה לבד
כפתור לשעת חירום זה טוב, עכשיו תסנכרנו את זה עם מערכת ההתרעות של פיקוד העורף ושיופיעו המקלטים הקרובים לבד ברגע שיש התרעה באזור בו נמצא הנהג, כי לגעת בטלפון בזמן נהיגה + לחץ של אזעקה זה מאוד מסוכן

Highways Agency Flag
Can we have a report for Highways Agency under the police section. That are too many false reports for police when it is just Highways Agency going about their day, but it is important to know when HA are around as they can cause hazards

Share location with family/friends
I would love the ability to use this app in place of another (for example, Life360) so that I can track my family's location and they can track mine. With arrival and departure alerts settings too.

Directions announced earlier.
Please have directions announced earlier. By the time it says, "Exit right," I would've missed my exit.

Potholes
Not really an issue but a suggestion. Is there any way you guys can implement a way to report potholes as a type of hazard

Layer of subway lines and trains.
Add a transportation layer (subway or trains) to facilitate mobility. It exists in other apps, but it's often outdated, and the routes aren't always clear. Sometimes incidents occur, and there's no app to provide users with information on alternative routes.

Report Pavement Marking conditions
Allow users to report whether the road pavement marking lines are faded, missing, or incorrect. This is especially important at night. Ideally this would also send an aggregated report to the city, county, or state to fix it!

Add a full French (Canada) TTS voice with street name announcements
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to formally request the addition of a full Text-To-Speech (TTS) voice profile in French (Canada), including street name announcements.
Currently, only French (France) full TTS voices are available. While they function correctly, pronunciation differences are noticeable for Québec and Canadian place names. This affects clarity and user experience for French-Canadian drivers.
Given that:
- Québec represents a large and active Waze user base,
- Canadian French pronunciation differs significantly from European French,
- Other navigation platforms already support localized French-Canadian TTS,
Adding a French (Canada) TTS profile would significantly improve usability and accessibility for drivers in Québec…
