Enhanced Visual Warning for Speed and Red-Light Cameras
I would like to propose an additional visual alert system for speed and red-light cameras within Waze. The idea is to introduce a transparent red overlay that flashes on the screen as drivers approach a camera location.
This feature would serve as a strong visual cue, especially for users who may not always be actively looking at their GPS display or listening to audio directions. The flashing overlay would draw immediate attention and help ensure drivers are more aware of upcoming enforcement zones.
To keep the experience user-friendly and adaptable, I recommend that this alert be offered as an optional…

Choose Route in Android Auto
When using Android Auto, allow users to choose from available routes, regardless if Avoid Tolls, Freeways, etc... is selected.
Route choice is available directly in the Waze app, however, when connected, Android Auto locks the Waze app preventing the user from accessing it directly from the phone (love that safety feature)!
Please allow users to choose a route when using the app, including tolls or no tolls.

Improve usability for EV drivers
Please add more EV friendly information. Have no option to choose EV as fuel type and doesn't show charging stations. Since buying my car, I've actually found Google Maps a far better option but do miss the community reporting of Waze as its not as good in Google Maps

Vitesse masquée par les indications
La vitesse est masquée par les indications en position horizontale du téléphone....
Donc quand un radar est indiqué, on ne voit ni la vitesse autorisée, ni la vitesse a laquelle on roule ....
Il faut modifier cela pour avoir toujours la vitesse visible ! ( C'est le cas en position verticale du téléphone)4 votes -

MINION VOICE
Hi. I’m Jay from Malaysia, would like to request to BRING BACKKKKK the Minion voices for navigation. The moment it’s been taken down, I don’t feel like using WAZE or going on the long travel anymore😭 I want them them, Minion voices is not just a voice, it turned the journey stress free. Using it since a year i can understand Minion language already. Now it changes to some other boring voices. I dont feel like driving, no energy, feel stress during the traffic😭
I hope you’ll reconsider bringing back the MINION VOICE PLSSSSSS😭😭😭😭😭

Que se avise siempre de la presencia de un radar. Una opción para avisar por voz de las incidencias como se hizo por una época.
- Los radares siempre deberían avisarse, a lo mejor quieres adelantar a alguien y justo empiezas a adelantar cuando el radar está encima.
- Poder mandar alertas con comandos de voz, no es seguro tener que tocar el móvil para poner una alerta, yo nunca uso el móvil si estoy en movimiento, por seguridad de los que avisan y del resto de conductores añadiría esta opción.

Viewing Alternate Routes
Bring back the ability for users to view alternate routes on their phone. Right now I can only view alternate routes using my car display. Why? I often want to plan my route before getting in the car. Why are you forcing users to be in the vehicle to plan their route?

Add Road Surface Quality Layer (like OsmAnd) to Avoid Poor Roads
Currently Waze shows real-time hazards like potholes, but there's no permanent layer showing overall road surface quality (asphalt condition, gravel, smoothness).
Many apps like OsmAnd use OpenStreetMap 'surface' and 'smoothness' tags to color-code roads: green=smooth asphalt, yellow=rough, red=gravel/dirt. This helps plan routes avoiding bumpy secondary roads, especially in Hungary/Europe where road quality varies wildly.
Feature request:
Add toggleable 'Road Quality' layer in map settings.
Show road types: paved/smooth, paved/rough, unpaved, etc.
Route planner option: 'Avoid poor surface roads'.
Use community-edited data (OSM + Waze reports).
This would make Waze perfect for long trips with low-clearance cars (like hybrids) or motorcycles.…

Traffic Light Countdown Integration in Waze
Add a real-time countdown timer for red traffic lights within the Waze app. The countdown will be based on official data from the national traffic light timing authority, providing drivers with accurate, real-time information on when the light will turn green.

satellite roads
I do understand the possible changes behind the scenes of the app but i honestly believe satellite roads is safer and more efficient for drivers as it provides a clearer view of the roads being driven on and not confusing drivers as it is confusing with cartoonish roads that nearly blend in together making it hard to understand which roads to take especially on highways. I have personally experienced not only myself but also seen other users of Waze experience missing exits and nearly and actually getting on to wrong exits because of the confusing “cartoonish” Waze maps. These situations…

SPLIT: I don’t like that others can see my speed
I don’t like that others can see my speed if I use that part of the app so I can watch my speed. Can authorities access that info ever??? Because I do speed sometimes and I don’t want others seeing or recording my speed...

Zone de danger
Bonjour. En france la législation nous interdit de voir la position fixe d'un radar automatique mais elle autorise d'afficher des " zones de danger " . Malheureusement waze n'affiche pas ces zones comme l'application tomtom et l'application coyote. Il faut absolument que waze ajoute ces " zones de danger " !!

One of the Cantonese greeting is wired
For Cantonese version,
When we start the navigation, there are few versions of greeting. One of them is saying “上路”, this is really wired and uncomfortable as this term is told the person who pass away to go on his way to heaven.
There are numbers of Cantonese users get the same feeling.I think your developers may have a misunderstanding on this wording. Please help to remove it.
I have found another recommendation is the same but written in chinese years before. And it has no response for Waze. I try to use English to see if Waze can…

Retrospective (after arrival) information on route time via non-selected routes
This feature would show how long the drive would have taken had i chosen an alternate route. When caught in traffic one often feels I should have taken the other option. This feature would provide information, after arrival at destination, on how one would have fared had another option been selected.
