Accessibility
Suggestion:
Improve accessibility by offering larger and more legible text options for users with difficulty reading small, intricate, or black-colored fonts, as they appear in the current interface. Even with larger fonts and adjusted text styles enabled on my father's phone, the app doesn't adapt well to these settings, making it hard to read addresses and other details. I suggest implementing better accessibility features to address these needs.

Change colour of car on “Vehicle on Shoulder” alert icon
When submitting a report and looking at the possible report types while driving. From the corner of one’s eye the “Vehicle on shoulder” alert icon and “Object” icons are very similar.
I suggest the colour of the vehicle in the “vehicle on shoulder” icon be changed to a different distinct colour that also accounts for colourblind people.
If the vehicle was blue or green for example it would be easier to quickly tell the icons apart. Otherwise I feel like I need to distract myself from driving to double check the description next to the icons before confirming the report.

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Add Old Penelope voice as an option for Spanish. The new voice is soulless. I miss Penelope voice.
Give me back Penelopes’s old voice. New Penelope’s voice is boring and soulless. If new voice were of a real person, I’d say that this person is lazy and listless.

use HN waze interpolation instead of google
We have several huge streets that make it difficult to place the house numbers, so I prefer to use interpolation by placing the house numbers in some meter intervals, but this change is usually not reflected because Waze prioritizes Google's interpolation over Waze's own data.
My suggestion is: Use Waze's interpolation when: The number is not mapped (there is no linked residential location and no house number) and there is a number greater than and less than the number searched for entered by an editor (not the automatic imported one)
Example:
Editor Editor
15 75I'm looking for the number…

Me gustaría que tenga una opción para confirmar el camino por el que transitas cuando hay un doble piso.
Me gustaría que waze te d runa opción para confirmar el camino transitado en caso de un segundo piso. Por ejemplo en CDMX en periférico es complicado identificar las salidas porque Waze no sabe si vas en 1er o 2do piso.

EMERGENCY FIRE RESPONSE ASSISTANCE
Hi Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature called “Emergency Fire Response Assistance” to help firefighters reach fire incidents faster and improve traffic flow around emergency scenes.
This feature could allow authorized responders to tag a “Fire Incident Zone” with the exact address, providing quick routes that avoid traffic and obstacles. Nearby users would get alerts to take alternative routes, helping clear the way for responders.
Additionally, dispatch centers could send real-time updates to firefighters (like building entry points or obstacles) for more precise navigation. Once an incident is resolved, responders could mark the area as “clear,” lifting any…

YIDDISH for WAZE
Few years ago I have created Yiddish voice for WAZE. Hundreds of Jewish people in Israel, USA, Holland and GB are hearing my voice of Yiddish. But it is a local version, and I have to send it each one, that asks me. I would like to include my two versions (one for metric system and another for miles) of Yiddish sound in your original vesrsion, so it will be a part of the language pack. I don’t ask for any money, just to make the Yiddish language a leagal part of the best navigator.

WME is trying to merge 2 pois that have the same name but different address
In the editor, it is sometimes necessary to create 2 pois with a distance between them of 50 meters or less. These pois have the same name but different addresses. When saving, the editor tries to merge the pois. It is necessary to check for attempts to merge not only the poi name, but also its address. If the addresses of the pois are different, then these are different pois, and not an attempt to create a duplicate.

App closure after Apple CarPlay shutdown
Please fix the app so it automatically closes after the car shuts off with Apple CarPlay. It used to do this until about 6-12 months ago. It’s annoying that Waze stays running when you get out of your car, draining your phone battery.

HOV Lane Exit Notifications at Every HOV exit
When using a route with an HOV Lane, Waze defaults to telling the driver to exit the HOV Lane at every HOV Lane Exit on the route, even though the HOV Lane is available on the entire route.
The driver should only be alerted to exit the HOV Lane if it's the exit they need to take because there is no HOV off-ramp, or there is an issue in the HOV Lane ahead of them.The exit notifications have caused me to miss a freeway transition roads since Waze doesn't want anyone using the HOV Lanes.
An example, Waze will…6 votes -
Road closures
I'm a traffic flagger for a utility company. When I need to close a road, i can't do it unless I'm at the nearest intersection. How do I do this without being at that intersection, which may be a long distance from my work site.
Also, how can I open a road I've closed? Seems the next wazer has to open it; that's mot fair to other drivers. How can I open a road ive closed?6 votes -

Waze on Volvo AAOS
I have a new 2025 Volvo XC60. I downloaded Waze from the Google Play store to the in-car system, logged on, and everything was fine. When I started the car the next day, it kept saying "could not connect" and told me to "refresh". After several attempts, I uninstalled the app, and then reinstalled it. Everything worked fine, until the next day when the same problem occurred. I uninstalled and then reinstalled the Waze app. Everything worked fine, until the next day. Considering Waze is owned by Google this problem should not be occurring! What can I (or more specifically…

Stoplights on map
You need to have stoplights on the map when. Giving directions. I know Apple Maps has it. It helps when coming to a turn but there is a light before it. It’s more precise.

Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are. However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads
Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are.
However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads or entering the size of vehicle. We occasionally tow a 7.5m caravan and last week when Waze re directed us due to heavy traffic we found ourselves in very narrow lanes with the caravan in tow - very stressful. A warning stating route unsuitable for large vehicles might even suffice?
Please can you consider this as an update.
Many thanks
