Blocked lane options laid out vertically in CarPlay. The options would appear as the actual road position and be more efficient
Would it be possible to lay out the blocked lane options vertically as it would appear on the road in CarPlay rather than horizontally?

School zone camera speed trap Lawtey, Fl. No flashing lights. 20 mph. Can't read times on sign when driving.
Lawtey, Fl. is operating an unethical school zone speed trap at the light on US 301. There are NO flashing lights and the zone times are impossible to read when driving by at the posted speed of 40 mph. Speed limit drops to 20 and is camera enforced. Ticket for $100 arrives 2 weeks later. If Lawtey was truely concerned about student safety, they would install flashing lights. Their primary objective is to defraud unsuspecting drivers and Lawtey has a long history of being a speed trap.

Replace unintuitive “not there” button symbol
When people are driving, symbols need to be instantly recognizable. For example, most of the report icons on the initial report display meet that requirement.
But when driving and you come across something like a partner feed alert and the app wants more info, the “not there” icon option is a stylized… purple and red, what?.. gloved?.. thumbs down hand that doesn’t intuitively convey “NO” and does not match the style theme of the other app icons. The first time I saw it when driving I could not figure out what it was, and what it was for, until I…

Reporting App Abuse / False Police Indicators
We have a neighbor who plays “Waze hall monitor” every single afternoon, marking that there’s a police officer in front of his house — even though there is never an officer present. He does this daily just to slow traffic in front of his home.
I’ve tried to report it, but the profile shows only as “anonymous.” When I click on the police icon, the only option is a thumbs-up to confirm it’s there.
Waze should add:
A “Not There” or thumbs-down option to counter false reports.
A Report User option to flag accounts that repeatedly post fake alerts.
This…

Change sides for icons
I use Waze in the car and on the motorbike. As a biker I want the reporting icons on the left of the screen, as a Uk car driver, I want the reporting icons on the right. I’d like the ability to be able to swap the reporting icons from the left side to the right and vice versa. I’m using IOS 26 and would like to be able to set this for either option depending on whether I’m riding the motorbike or driving the car.
Please consider this for future updates.1 vote -

Activate voice input when report button is pushed in Android Auto/Carplay or phone app
I would like the report button to start listening for voice prompts when pushed on the phone or android auto/carplay. I use Google Assistant for most reports and by the time I say “Ok Google” then wait for the prompt, then use voice reporting the pin is dropped significantly beyond what I was trying to report. Fumbling around with android auto to find the correct category is less safe and less direct than voice reporting and I usually end up hitting the wrong category.

Falta de Compromiso de Usuarios
En Buenos Aires al menos, observo que cada vez hay mas y mas Wazers. Aun asi, me encuentro en muchas rutas donde parecia que el transito era nulo y cuando llego encuentro un embotellamiento fuerte.
Entonces en mi opinión, hay cada vez mas wazers, pero hay menos wazers comprometidos con hacer declaraciones de transito u otras.Mi recomendación es que la declaración de transito pesado sea automatica. Que si el GPS detecta que en una via que deberia estar circulando a una determinada velocidad la velocidad es nula o reducida, que automaticamente emita un alerta de transito.
Otra alternativa seria…1 vote -
Waze hazards
The vehicle stoped hazard report should be more complete. As once was: vehicle stoped on the road, on shoulder and on other side of the road. I felt the need to report the discontinued options from time to time.

Hazard Alert - Animal on Road
Could there please be some sort of function within Waze that could give the user the opportunity to report deceased animals along the road so that the competent entities could come and collect them? Or even for pets that were just run down for a vet to come or something? Could it be connected to automatically give the competent entities the location of the animal? It’s a win-win for everyone and it keeps our road safe. Also, for objects on the road, while I’m not sure what entity would be responsible for removing them, somehow also connect to the responsible…

I dont have an idea – there's a problem
We have been driving from Toronto to Ottawa this morning, and all along HWY 401, every single report of police or cars on the side has been bogus. Not one of them has been right, and there have been a LOT of reports – way too many to be true. I expect a few cops and cars will have moved along before we see them, but not every one of them. Something is wrong with the algorithm, or someone is being a ******* and reporting things that aren't there.

Change place "Closed or moved" report to "Permanently closed or moved"
Today, users often report a place as "closed" because it is temporarily under renovation, or because the listed hours are incorrect. However, if an editor accepts this report, the place is deleted, which doesn't address the actual issue. These mistaken reports could be reduced if the menu item for this report was changed to include the word "Permanently."

Lowered Cars
The concept is a Low-Clearance Vehicle Mode that would:
• Detect and report hazards such as potholes, bumps, debris, and flooding in real time.
• Allow users to submit hazard reports as they encounter them, similar to Waze’s current system for reporting police, accidents, or traffic jams.
• Provide alternative routes to avoid potential damage to vehicles, especially on streets, bridges, or parking areas with low clearance.
• Integrate crowd-sourced data to keep the map continuously updated for low-clearance vehicle drivers.This feature could enhance Waze’s reputation as the most comprehensive navigation app while addressing a currently underserved market of…
