fade out old road traffic instead of not showing at all
at the moment I can only see recent traffic reports, but not those that were reported for example 20minutes ago.
It would be much more helpful if the client would always show the latest reported road traffic status.
the color could be faded out over time to indicate how old a report is.
the client should offer an option of the maximum age of reports that should be displayed and if a wazer reports that the road is free again, then the old report needs to be removed.4 votes -
report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

Remember Events filter
I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

Flock camera
Mobile police camera is not the same think as a flock camera. A flock camera is not mobile! There needs to be a different button to report these or an ability to turn it off.

I would love if the EMA from Star Trek's Academy kept giving me directions
Of all the voices I've heard giving me directions, Roberto Picardo's EMH Voice is one of the best. I am disappointed that his voice will be leaving WAZE soon. His, or maybe Majel Roddenberry's voice. =)

"I would like to request that the audible speed limit warning feature be made available even when a navigation route is not actively set. Many users, including myself, frequently drive on familiar routes where turn-by-turn navigation is not needed, but we still want to be alerted when exceeding the speed limit for safety reasons. Currently, the audible warning only triggers during active navigation, which makes the app less useful for daily commutes. Please consider adding an option in the settings to enable these alerts regardless of whether a destination is set or not."

Show the following maneuver at least 2 km ahead for better lane positioning
Waze should provide an early visual preview of the maneuver that comes after the currently upcoming maneuver.
The idea is to give drivers visibility of the following maneuver at least up to 2 km ahead, rather than showing it only when two maneuvers are extremely close together.
The purpose is not to start navigating to the second maneuver early. The second maneuver does not need a voice announcement, distance countdown, street name or other detailed information.
A small directional arrow below the primary maneuver would be enough.
For example:
↗ Exit right in 800 m
then ↙This simply tells…

Feature request: Audio alerts for speed cameras when screen is locked and regardless of speed
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing to suggest a feature that would significantly improve safety and usability for motorcyclists using your new Moto Mode.
The problem:
When riding a motorcycle, the phone is often in my pocket or mounted with the screen off to save battery. Currently, Waze speed camera alerts are only audible if the driver exceeds the speed limit . If I'm riding within the limit, the alert is only visual, and with the screen locked or off, I receive no warning at all.
The request:
Please add an optional setting (in Settings > Alerts & reports > Speed…

Feature Request: Touch Lock
Please add a touch lock feature, similar to VLC or MX Player.
As a motorcycle rider, my phone screen gets exposed to rain. Raindrops land on the screen and register as random touches — sometimes changing my route or opening settings, which disrupts my navigation mid-ride.
A touch lock would let the screen stay visible without accepting accidental taps, keeping the map view stable in wet conditions.
Suggested implementation: a lock button on screen that, when tapped, disables touch input. To unlock, the rider swipes across a designated area (same pattern used in VLC/MX Player), preventing accidental unlocks from stray…

AI Pothole & Speed Bump Detection via Phone Sensors (Waze for Cities)
I submitted this exact concept to Google a long time ago, but no action was taken. I am bringing it here today because Waze is the perfect platform to finally make this happen.Waze should implement passive, background telemetry analysis using the smartphone's built-in accelerometer and gyroscope. An AI algorithm can easily recognize the distinct physical patterns of hitting a pothole or crossing a speed bump. To eliminate false positives, the system would require data aggregation: if multiple users register the same vertical impact at the exact same GPS coordinates, the map should automatically generate a hazard annotation.Once these hazards are…

Active Railroad Crossings
Using real-time data from vehicles, if a driver is approaching a railroad crossing with vehicles already stopped at the tracks, Waze can pick up on it by alerting the driver to "Prepare to stop".

Repeat voice navigation button
Repeat voice navigation button. While driving It would be nice to press a button to repeat the directions. Sometimes you don't hear it. (Traffic, kids, radio, on call) Or you haven't heard it in a while and you'd like to hear it again.

Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Waze already detects traffic speed in real time. Please add an optional voice warning such as:
"Heavy traffic ahead. Reduce your speed."
Trigger the alert when the average speed drops abruptly (for example, from 100 km/h to below 30 km/h within a short distance).
This would improve safety on highways by giving drivers more time to brake smoothly and reducing rear-end collisions. The feature should be optional in Settings.

Add stop - total trip time
When adding a stop, it would be great to see the total trip time. Not just the time to the first stop.
That’d be more helpful for someone’s planning3 votes -
Better EV Support
In France, electric cars are now sold more than traditional gas cars.
EV drivers use Waze every day.
However, Waze is still designed mostly for gas vehicles.
Here are simple features to make Waze the best app for EV drivers.Better Route Alternatives for EVs
Current alternative routes show equal travel times. But they ignore distance and battery consumption.
One route might use much more energy.
Waze should calculate and show energy consumption for each alternative route.Vehicle Profile & Smart Charging Stops
Users should be able to select their vehicle brand and exact model.
Waze will know the real…
