Police
Sorry to upset all of the folks asking for more features to warn of police presence but this is a childish feature which should be removed. Waze is a great app and you would be best served by taking the "high road" and promoting the app as an aid to road safety by making drivers aware of road situations and hazards. But many wazers like me have their kids also driving and I am just waiting with dread for the day that a fellow wazer tells a drunken driver how to avoid a policeman and then that drunk driver…

Add Victoria, Australia Data APIs
The Victorian Government In Australia offers a number of Data API's that would be highly useful to have integrated into the Waze App
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/ which would allow an added depth of information to be added to the map, such as current road speed limit vs actual.
routing around known road events, such as road works or road closures etc...Specifically things like:
"Road Works and Events Points Snapshot"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/road-works-and-events-points-snapshot"Speed Sign Data"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/speed-sign-data"Emergency Road Closure Lines Snapshot"

Alert And/Or Settings/Navigation Option for Low Bridges
Low bridges (rail and road) are an issue throughout Westchester County, NY and over-height trucks frequently strike these bridges. Apparently on S Main (Rt 1) in Port Chester, Metro North is reporting a low bridge as an object in the road (for several months).
The problem here is, I would never consider a bridge as an 'object in road'. Rather, this alert distracts from looking at the low bridge warning signs. Drivers would pay attention to a permanent alert of a low bridge for this and other sites. Or for navigation by over-height vehicles, adding an option in…67 votes -
When WAZE reports debris in the road it should say left, right, or center. I had a bumper in the center lane of the interstate and missed it
Want WAZE to say where debris is located in the road. Right lane center or left. Then we would know to change lanes. Almost hit a bumper twice in the center lane at dusk would have been a major accident but thanks to WAZE I got past it. But a heads up for the lane would help. I was doing 75 on the interstate at the time

Traffic lights navigation
Mostly in cities, sometimes I'm used to get navigation guidance from people, telling me to "turn right at the 3rd traffic light ahead" or "turn left at the next junction ahead". I think such navigation method - by counting road & infrastructure elements, rather than calculating distance - could be useful and preferable for some people. It may require initially mapping all these road elements in order to enable it... I believe its worthwhile :)

"I hope to remove the road name display because it often blocks my view of intersections."
I hope to remove the road name display because it often blocks my view of intersections. it’s annoying and frustrating, it affects my view of the route. I also want to cancel it, but I can’t find a way to remove it.

MORE navigation options, in addition to shorter time or distance
I would LOVE for waze to have multiple options for routes. For instance :
Standard options:
- shortest distance
- shortest time
Standard avoids :
- avoid toll roads
- avoid highwaysNew ones:
- least turns
- least traffic lights ;New avoiding routes:
- avoid construction routes
- avoid one lane streets
- avoid streets with traffic moving slower thanAll of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It…

Pre-Planned Road Closure (Confirm Road Closure or Report a closure as not there)
Although there are posted times for freeway ramp closures, I think someway of also reporting a closure that is not actually there, or even confirming a closure. Through my personal experience this would be super helpful as the exits around my exits add an additional 15-20 minutes to my drive back home. But many times when Waze tells me my exit is closed, but its actually open which can get frustrating.

When @Home location, app assumes on drive not road and can choose left or right direction
Currently frequently when I select my destination when on my drive Waze will think I am on the road outside and send me in a massive loop that adds 6 minutes ot the journey.
When my journey may be left or right out of the drive depending on the traffic it then courses an unnecessary bias in the results.
IF I look at the route options I then will select the route that has been "discounted" to see if it was assuming the right turn that is not needed and therefore would be quicker.
The app should just assume in…

Setting the car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -

Add closure report to Android Auto
There does not appear to be a way to report a temporary closure of a road due to an accident, etc. from within the Waze Android Auto interface. Please consider adding this feature.

Bumpy Roads Reporting for EMS
I’d like to suggest adding a “bumpy road” or “rough pavement” hazard option in Waze, along with an optional route preference for the smoothest roads.
For EMS and other medical transport drivers, road quality isn’t just about comfort—it directly affects patient care. Many patients we transport have conditions like bed sores, fractures, or severe pain, where even minor road bumps can cause significant discomfort or worsen their condition.
Currently, Waze does a great job helping drivers avoid traffic, hazards, and tolls. Adding a way to report and route around rough roads would be incredibly valuable for…

Favoriting places of interest on road trips
We travel east of the Mississippi almost year round for my daughters travel softball tourneys. While making these trips it would be nice to know if there are any of our favorite quick stops (gas, food) like WAWA Sheetz, Bucees. Also restaurants, gas stations, hotels, golf courses etc.
Please create an option where we can favorite 3-5 of our places and the icon will appear on the map while driving down the highway.Thank you
