  1. Routes options in case of road closure, detour, or anything else

    Was going to my friends house early this morning and police had the main road closed. This had just happened and wasn't going to take long enough for a detour to be put in place and I was so close to my friends house Waze gave no additional routes as options. Luckily I new the area enough to know what to do but I know things like this happen everyday across the country. It would be nice to have a feature that lets you choose a road or distance to avoid for these situations. Typically Waze gives you multiple options…

  2. Ignore Traffic Option for Real Time Road Closures

    For Real Time Road Closures, please add the option to "Ignore segment traffic". Currently if there is any traffic detected on a Closed segment, the Closure will be put into Suspend mode. This can be problematic since some Waze users choose to ignore a closure, because they can't "see" any backed up traffic due to the closure, and will cause the closure to be paused until enough traffic has been stopped behind the closure and the segment detects no more movement. By then the closure should have been in place warning Waze users well ahead of time to find an…

  4. Dynamische Routenplanung für Elektrofahrzeuge basierend auf Echtzeit-Akkustand

    Ich schlage vor, eine Funktion in Waze Navigation zu integrieren, die es ermöglicht, Elektrofahrzeuge mit der App zu verbinden und den aktuellen Akkustand in Echtzeit abzurufen. Dies würde die Routenplanung dynamisch anpassen, um sicherzustellen, dass Fahrer von Elektrofahrzeugen immer die effizienteste Route basierend auf ihrer aktuellen Batteriekapazität nehmen können.

    Funktionen:
    - Echtzeit-Überwachung des Akkustands des verbundenen Elektrofahrzeugs.
    - Dynamische Anpassung der Route, um Ladestationen einzubeziehen, wenn der Akkustand niedrig ist.
    - Benachrichtigungen und Warnungen bei niedrigem Akkustand und bevorstehenden Ladestationen.
    - Integration mit den bevorzugten Ladeanbietern des Fahrers für nahtloses Laden unterwegs.
    - Optimierung der Route, um Energie zu sparen…

  6. User-intuitive multi-stop route for a leave later time

    I find it very difficult to set multi-stops on way to one destination, because I have to look up how to do it online everytime. It is not intuitive, is not marked, and you just have to know the "secret" of tapping on the arrival time to THEN add another stop. That makes no sense. And then, if I need to arrive at the final destination at a certain time, I can't set it up with the multi-stop to know when to leave to make those stops and arrive at the destination on time.

  7. Adapt routes and ETA to the choice of a user's max speed

    More and more of us, for economic or ecological reasons, or simply because our vehicle does not allow us to, self-limit and not drive at more than 100 km/h or 90 km/h, even on the highway.
    It would be good if when searching for a route, we could define a Max speed for the vehicle and that the calculation of the different routes takes this into account.
    A route on a road limited to 100 km/h, usually abandoned in favor of a route using a highway limited to 130 km/h could even become faster as soon as the driver decides…

  8. Recent bike and car regulatory sign

    Following Waze instructions, my son and I have recently been issued a PCN by Genghis Khan for entering a road with a recent prohibition. The road is Eastmearn Road London, SE21 when entering from Rosendale Road, SE21. We expect that the other end, Tulsemere Road,SE21 is similarly signed. Please can you update to alert and stop users being fined.

  10. 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 75

    I'm looking for the number…

  12. smarter routes with road closures

    Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:

    We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).

    Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to…

  13. Alerte de dépassement de temps de conduite avec suggestion d'aires de repos / service

    Bonjour,

    Je propose l'ajout d'une fonctionnalité qui alerterait l'utilisateur lorsqu'il dépasse un certain temps de conduite, afin de lui rappeler de faire une pause. L'alerte pourrait aussi suggérer l'aire de repos ou l'aire d'autoroute la plus proche pour un arrêt.

    Cela améliorerait la sécurité des conducteurs en encourageant des pauses régulières, en particulier lors de longs trajets.

    Merci pour votre attention à cette suggestion !

  14. When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”

    When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
    Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
    Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.

  15. 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…

  16. Report and show long term roadworks

    Since I am driving thousands of kilometers a month I need a button to report long term roadworks especially for highways/autobahn. And with that it would be nice if the lenght of the roadwork is shown too - it could look the same like the time it takes to come through a traffic jam on the left side of the screen.
    The first report marks the beginning of the roadwork, the second the end of it. In Germany there are signs where they write the estimated end date of the current roadwork. That could be reported too.
    That would be…

  18. Route default to map view instead of list view

    I understand my route more if I visually see it. The default to showing me the list of routes is kind of annoying because I always want to see where I'm headed versus reading where I'm headed.

  19. Return to original route if I deviate

    If there are multiple routes to a destination, I will choose the one which most suits me, even if sometimes it’s a little longer because it avoids difficult roads (I live in the countryside; there are a lot). But sometimes, for instance when one of my local roads floods, the way I prefer to avoid that road closure is not one of Waze’s options, so I will deviate from the route. Except after I do that, Waze will automatically put me on one of its other routes; often without saying.

    Please have an option that will allow me to lock-in…

  20. Route recalculation problem

    Útvonal újratervezés esetén gyakran több kilométeres plusz útszakaszt tervez be azért, hogy vissza tudjon fordítani. Jó lenne ha jelezni, hogy minél előbb fordulj vissza. Ezt sok esetben szabályosan meg lehet tenni. pl. kapubeálló stb.
