Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like those for…

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…

Street names hide important information
The name of the streets hides the visual information of the map in intersections or roundabout. This is a problem, not a suggestion. The voices information is important but the visual indications are important too. May be a check button to enable or disable that information about the name of the streets could be the solution. thanks.

Routes via specific road
Plan or change a route to use a specific road ie. a specific interstate road, state road, local road, so the route will go specifically how you want to drive it. Many times the suggested routes are not the best. One knows this after having driven a certain route multiple times. Waze does not know this.

Walk/Biking Navigating Options
Please add the option to walk and bike to your destination like maps does. If I’m walking to my destination instead of driving I’d like to know how long it’ll take instead of adding another app like maps to search. Thank you.

Fix the arrow moving randomly to the centre of the screen.
Recently, the arrow showing our location keeps moving from the bottom of the screen to the middle. It's a bug experienced by many users. When will it be fixed? The arrow in the middle blocks the view of the road.

Truck
Ok, so 6+ years ago it was in the too hard basket to make a truck route...
How about just collect data from people who want to add road closures to already set routes but so long as the vehicle type is set for truck/RV. Effectively it would be a clone overlay of map guides but over time with the community help it would create itself and within days to start with.
I would happily help through the teething issues within the first few months of individually adding closure roads to route if it meant that the route was more…8 votes -
Speeding Threshold Exceeded Alert could be more prominent
The alert for exceeding the speeding threshold is a rather low volume ding. An option for louder and/or more prominent like the red light camera alert would be awesome. Thx

Nahtlose Übergänge: Routen-Form-Punkte & flexible Autobahn/Landstraßen-Priorisierung
Feature-Vorschlag: Routen-Form-Punkte & Nahtloser Straßenwechsel
Viele Nutzer wünschen sich eine einfache Möglichkeit, bestimmte Streckenabschnitte (z. B. bevorzugte Landstraßen oder eine bestimmte Autobahnauffahrt) in die Routenplanung einzubeziehen, ohne dazu komplizierte Zwischenziele setzen zu müssen. Aktuell führt die strikte Orientierung an der „optimalen“ Route in ländlichen Gebieten oder an komplexen Autobahnzugängen oft zu unnötigen Abbiegungen, Schleifen oder unnatürlichen Umwegen.
Ich schlage zwei Funktionen vor, die dieses Problem effizient lösen würden:
- Routen-Form-Punkte (Route Shaping Points)
Leicht platzierbare Punkte, die als weiche Präferenzen dienen. Sie formen den Verlauf der Route, ohne tiefe Eingriffe oder starre Zwischenstopps.
Eigenschaften:
Priorität einstellbar (niedrig/mittel/hoch)
Einflussradius wählbar
Flexibel: Route…

Is there a possibility that the new design could be reviewed so that the speed camera warning doesn't obstruct the number of our speed?
Is there a possibility that the new design could be reviewed so that the speed camera warning doesn't obstruct the number of our speed? I think there's a UX design flaw regarding that.

Remove the bell or “ding” noise for hazards and replace with verbal, spoken warnings
Spoken warnings are the old behavior for the app and they need to be replaced. Example - “Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead.” Instead, there’s now nothing but a nondescript “ding.” The ding is jarring, and provides no useful information without me looking at my phone. I need as much information possible conveyed verbally because I am not always in the position to look at my phone. I’m baffled this functionality was removed.

Light
I'm not the first one to comment about adding traffic light. But what I want to add is sometimes it's better to go through a traffic light in case of a busy road which is much harder to turn without the light
