Enhanced Visual Warning for Speed and Red-Light Cameras
I would like to propose an additional visual alert system for speed and red-light cameras within Waze. The idea is to introduce a transparent red overlay that flashes on the screen as drivers approach a camera location.
This feature would serve as a strong visual cue, especially for users who may not always be actively looking at their GPS display or listening to audio directions. The flashing overlay would draw immediate attention and help ensure drivers are more aware of upcoming enforcement zones.
To keep the experience user-friendly and adaptable, I recommend that this alert be offered as an optional…

Stop navigation once you're "close enough" to the destination
Waze should have an option where it stops trying to re-route once you're close to the destination, especially when it is not possible to actually drive to the exact entry point for whatever reason.
Context:
I've got someone who has brought up routing issues to their destination a few times, and at least two or three local editors have made various changes. They now again have been saying that once they arrive, Waze wants them to exit the parking lot again, and make a huge detour just to return again to where they are already located.
I am convinced this…

time zone temp fix
If it's too difficult to have Waze team fix the time zone issue, how about Waze telling the user the destination crosses a diff time zone and to display a warning that they should manually set the time zone on their phone to the actual destination time zone to prevent confusions/issues. That way, Waze won't adjust when crossing the zone and destination will display ETA correctly for the whole trip. At arrival, another warning could be to remind the user to set his time zone on phone back to "automatic".

Multiplas Paradas
O Waze é amplamente utilizado por motoboys, motoristas de aplicativo como Uber e entregadores em geral. Para nós, o aplicativo é essencial, pois permite montar rotas mais rápidas e curtas, além de contar com um mapa sempre atualizado.
Atualmente, muitos endereços são abertos no Waze a partir de links externos (outros aplicativos). No entanto, o aplicativo não oferece mais a opção de adicionar esse endereço como uma nova parada, o que impacta diretamente quem realiza múltiplas entregas no mesmo percurso.
A sugestão é que, ao receber um endereço vindo de outro aplicativo, o Waze interprete da seguinte forma:

Use Simplistic Terms for Directions Where Possible
To make navigation easier, use simplistic terms for navigation. For example, instead of "In 300 feet, turn right", if possible you could say "at the next intersection, turn right" or "at the end of the road, turn right". Other simplistic terms could be "at the next traffic light, turn left".

Avoid street : setting
A simple setting that allows us to input streets to avoid, unless it's critical to go down. Often it takes me to a few streets that are very dangerous, or leave you in traffic for 10 minutes.
Introducing this feature will help allow people to; avoid traffic, bad turns, An ex you really, really don't want to see.3 votes -
Mode Conduite accompagnée et Apprentis
Il serait bien, pour les jeunes en conduite accompagnée ou pour les Apprentis de créer un paramètre qui permettrait d'avoir les limitations de vitesse adéquates et l'heure d'arrivée correspondante.
De plus, un A ou CA, sur l'icône du Wazzer serait un petit plus pour faire se rendre compte aux autres utilisateurs qu'il y a aussi des novices autour d'eux.2 votes -
Do not turn the map before you have actually turned.
Currently, when you arrive at a crossroads, the map turns as soon as you stop. If you are not looking at the screen, you will make a mistake. The same thing happens at small roundabouts. The vehicle could almost go straight ahead, but the map turns for no good reason.

ETA Color
I think it would be very useful if Waze could display the ETA in different colors depending on the traffic conditions, similar to what Google Maps does. For example, green for light traffic, amber for moderate traffic, and red for heavy traffic. This would make it easier to quickly understand the driving situation at a glance.

Reducing Redundant User Click Confirmation Fatigue
The current Waze user experience is hindered by an excess of interruptive confirmation requests, which compromises both safety and efficiency, violating the principle of "what if it was simple."
Core Issues:
Navigation Initiation: Upon selecting a destination, Waze requires multiple unnecessary confirmations (e.g., "Are you really navigating there?", route selection) instead of immediately starting guidance. This adds friction to the primary task and is unsafe to manage while driving.
Unnecessary Resume Prompts: When restarting the app, Waze redundantly asks, "Are you still driving to X?" The app should automatically resume navigation if the user is actively moving and remains within…

Request for Satellite Map View in Waze
Hello Waze Support Team,
I’m writing to request that Waze add an option to view the map in satellite mode. The app currently only shows the default map style, and having a satellite view would be very helpful for navigation and for recognizing locations more accurately.
Many navigation apps offer both standard and satellite map modes, and I believe this feature would greatly improve the user experience in Waze.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Kind regards,

Permanent “End of Pavement” Alert
In several regions, especially on state highways and rural roads, there is an abrupt transition in pavement—for example, the end of the asphalted section and the beginning of a dirt or basalt-stone road. These sudden surface changes can catch drivers by surprise, particularly during low-visibility hours, adverse weather conditions, or on higher-speed roads.
Technical and Road Safety Justification:
Changes in pavement type can pose significant risks to drivers, such as:
Rear-end collisions, when the vehicle ahead suddenly slows upon noticing the change in pavement;
Loss of control and roadway departures, due to loose gravel, irregularities, or reduced traction on dirt…1 vote -

Business Address Route to arrive on the right side of the street
For business address, hotels, commercial, etc. especially in busy downtown areas, please have the route always go around the block or whatever is necessary to arrive on the Right side of the street. For example dropping a passenger off in front of the building. Avoids having to do a mid-block u-turn or going around the block.

Mostrar en pantalla de forma anticipada el nombre de la próxima calle que se atravesará cuando se está navegando sin destino prefijado
Si bien todas las calles tienen nombre, durante la navegación no siempre es visible el nombre de la calle en el tramo exacto que uno está atravesando, lo que obliga a mover manualmente el mapa para identificarla. Esto, cuando uno está manejando, resulta incómodo y hasta riesgoso.
Una funcionalidad que tenía Garmin y que sería muy útil incorporar es la siguiente:
mostrar en pantalla, de forma anticipada (por ejemplo, unos 100 metros antes), el nombre de la próxima calle que se va a cruzar, independientemente de si hay que doblar o no. Esto se mostraba en un pequeño rectángulo en…3 votes
