Speed Limit Alerts for Commercial Vehicles
In the UK speed limits for public light goods (commercial) vehicles are different, so for example on national speed-limit A-roads, cars are allowed to do 60mph, but commercial vehicles like panel vans, can only do 50mph. It’s to do with the increased payloads they potentially carry.
This differential isn’t catered for in the app, so when it’s set to alert when the speed limit is reached, a van driver in many cases is actually 10mph over which is enough of a margin to receive an endorsement in the UK.
The speed differences for light goods vehicles are however standardised: they…

Minions Theme Breaks Landscape Mode on Android.
When I switched to the minion theme, the map would no longer switch to landscape mode on my Android phone. I deleted all data and restarted waze, and landscape worked again. I loaded the minion theme again and Landscape broke again.

Waze app bug - super annoying
app runs in background after disconnecting from Apple CarPlay. Please fix this! It’s a battery killer, and super annoying to have to manually close after every trip. It’s enough to uninstall the app.

Avoid speed cameras on routes
Would love to see an option to avoid routes that take you past speed cameras

The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the trap
The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the camera and not the current road the driver is on.
In situations where the driver is on a fast road and is about to exit to a slower road with a speed trap, the driver does not receive the sound alert as they should if they were already on the road with the camera.
For example: A driver is driving at 90 km/h on a road with a speed limit of 100 km/h, following a route already indicated on Waze. The driver is going to take an exit…

Speedometer position Android Auto
Actual Speed and Limit icons to be set closer to driver position (left or right of screen) depending on driver position in settings.
On car displays having the icons on opposite side can take the attention off the road for too long when trying to observe the speed limit / actual speed.8 votes -
Button customization on Waze with Android Auto & Carplay
• My suggestion is for the following feature: Adaptive Button Placement/Customizable Controls
• My suggestion solves this problem:
• Convenience during Driving: Allowing users to position buttons based on the side of the road they are driving on could make the interface more convenient and accessible, reducing the need for awkward movements while driving.
• Road Safety: Avoiding stretches and dangerous movements to reach buttons could contribute to safer driving, reducing distractions and improving focus on the road.
• Interface Personalization: Allowing users to position buttons as they prefer could offer a more personalized experience, adapting the interface to individual preferences and enhancing overall…

Highway's Rest Area and Parkings
I would like to propose to include on the maps the location of the Rest Areas and Parking along Highways and Local Roads. This would be really helpfull on long trips.
Also the notification of the nearest Gas station would be an asset to the application.

Shortcuts for Hazard Reports
When using the Hazard Report feature in Waze I often find that:
1) I use 1 to 3 reports a LOT more often than any others.
2) I often find that selecting these hazard icons using the current method is fiddly, dangerous when driving, and slow, resulting in the report being sent late, often about 100 meters or more past the hazard.
My improvement idea is to add 1 to 3 hazard SHORTCUTS that "slide out" for selection from the existing hazard report icon (yellow triangle) on the FIRST touch, they would then "slide in" again after selection to avoid…

Better navigation for electric vehicles
I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.
Given that the charging structure in Europe is now largely very good, scheduling the various charging points for a long trip is no longer necessary in advance.
A nice solution would be to show on the screen the next 3 (fast) charging stations, along with the total number of charging stations (red) that are there, how many are still available (green) and how many are out of service/in maintenance (gray) (like A better route planner does).
In addition, also the percentage of charge with…8 votes -
Police Alerts
A police report should notify drivers when driving within a certain radius of the report and not just for drivers that are traveling in the direction of the report. This would be very beneficial on highways and eliminate the need to report police twice for both sides.
To make this make sense, if you’re traveling southbound on a two-lane road and you make a police report, it will only alert the southbound traffic, not the northbound.

Allow photo evidence of map errors
Allow photo evidence of map errors.
Sometimes trying to explain what error happened while driving is difficult to upload (while driving) and difficult to explain (after the fact) but allowing someone to upload a photo of the map when it is performing an error is much easier. It’s 2024. Why isn’t this a thing yet?

Add “avoid freeways” to drop down menu on map screen.
It would be super useful to have the option to avoid freeway’s using the drop down list instead of having to scroll through all the preferences to find it. Especially once you’ve already started driving, and you want to change routes. It’s much more useful than “avoid ferries” when you live in a big city. I have 3 freeways near my home, and when I need to go just a few miles it always wants to put on a freeway just to have me get off one exit later.

Bonjour j'aimerais suggérer un moyen d'utiliser Waze avec un scooter 50cc et donc avoir des itinéraires cohérents avec ce type de véhicule et que l'application me propose des trajets uniquement sur des routes avec des limitation de vitesse inférieures à 50km/h en vous remerciant de l'attention portée à mon message en vous souhaitant une bonne journée. Cordialement Mr LAMIEL

Better Report Road Closure Support
This app is super useful, but today after serious flooding in my area I realized some major downsides... Please make it easier to report road closures!! Once you turn around, you can't report that the road behind you is closed and sometimes you need to move out of the way NOW! I wish I could still report after I've driven away. Also, if a road is local traffic only but fully closed further ahead, I can't report that the road is closed up ahead. Also, add a feature to report how much flooding there is when people report a flooding…
