New 2026 version uses 1.5 km for instructions instead of 1 km
The new Waze version (got it early 2026) uses a distance of 1.5 kilometer instead of 1 kilometer for navigation instructions. It makes no sense to use fractions and it's distracting. Either change back to 1 kilometer or add an option to change this.

Real-time Border Wait Times & Dynamic Rerouting for International Travel
Currently, Waze lacks a dedicated feature for border crossing delays. While traffic is shown, there is no specific information about customs or passport control wait times.
I propose a consumer-facing feature that:
1. Visualizes specific border delays: Show a dedicated "Border Wait" timer on the route bar.Dynamic Checkpoint Comparison: If the main border crossing (e.g., a major highway) is congested, Waze should automatically compare wait times at nearby smaller border crossings and suggest a faster alternative.
Crowdsourced Wait Times: Let users report their specific "Time to Cross" so others behind them get an accurate estimate.
This is especially crucial…

Prioritize travel time vs. always suggesting the express lanes on the highway
Waze always suggests the Express lanes, regardless of which set of lanes (Express or Collector) are moving faster between the next cross-over point. Every time I get on the highway, Waze directs me to the Express lanes. Many times, the collectors are moving faster than the express lanes, so I do not understand why Waze keeps directing to the express lanes. Waze should prioritize travel time and should only suggest the express when the travel time is shorter (i.e. when the express is moving faster than the collectors), and when the express makes sense based on the exit you need…

Highway symbols and lane assist on steering wheel screen (Android Automotive)
Highway symbols for state/province highways and interstates, as well as lane assist, should be visible on the steering wheel screen in Android Automotive (Polestar, Volvo, etc.) during navigation, just as they are on Google Maps, for better visual cues for drivers.

Alternating Traffic
Could you create an icon to report alternating traffic during roadworks, using traffic lights?
Because everyone uses your icon for traffic lights that are out of order, even though that hardly ever happens...
Ideally, you should create a new, more descriptive one, as it would be used all the time.1 vote -
roadworks reporting
Can you tell me why, when there are roadworks, Waze suggests I report the congested side, including the middle lane, when there are only two lanes... ?

bad weather
Hello,
In bad weather (rain, fog, etc.), could you please avoid only signalling one side of the road? I’ve never seen rain falling on just one side of the road.
Thank you1 vote -
Bloquear zonas o lugares peligrosos
Seriía bueno que a uno le permita "banear" o bloquear lugares peligrosos o considerados como zonas rojas entre sus rutas para que la navegación no lo tire a uno por ahí, algo así como permite bloquear ferrys, peajes, etc.
Aquí en Guatemala hay muchas zonas de alto riesgo que sí uno entra, de entrada le disparan, pero Waze no lo sabe y tira rutas para que uno pase por ahí y siendo que uno no conoce, se arriesga a salir herido o muerto de esos sitios.

I actually noticed another issue, whenever I go from NYC to upstate let's say Rockland county, ways will never ever send me with the Verraza
I actually noticed another issue, whenever I go from NYC to upstate let's say Rockland county, ways will never ever send me with the Verrazano bridge, no matter if it's a half an hour faster. The only work around I found is if I add the Verrazano bridge as a stop, but that's very annoying and doesn't give you a precise ETA.

Opciones "Sin tráfico" y "Transitar con precaución"
Me gustaría que hubiera la opción de "Sin tráfico" para los casos donde el trancon terminó y pues ya no hay tráfico.
Además de la opción "Transitar con precaución" para zonas que pueden ser peligrosas para el vehículo y las personas.1 vote -

hi, when using your excellent app i was hoping instead of ' take the next turn off in 200 feet' to be read out in yards
instead of saying take your next left turn in 'X' amount of feet to be, take your next left turn in 'X' amount of yards if thats at all possible, thanks

Improve motorcycle mode and route suggestions
It’s great that Waze has a dedicated motorcycle mode. However it does not feel like a dedicated mode. We get the same road suggestions as with a car. A motorcycle can move fast through smaller roads and not be stuck in traffic. If I choose avoid motorways, I may miss a part that would be better done there. Moreover, proposals and ETA are impacted by lane splitting. But this does not always work or is allowed, so it should not be taken on board. And on the interface side, you still need to push buttons - there is not great…

Update for Android
I have a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu Premier. My vehicle has a LED cluster that shows native navigation based on SD card. It has an android auto. Is there an update that would let me use Waze to show on my LED cluster for directions?

Einbahnstraßen
es wäre schön, neu eingerichtete Einbahnstraßen und/oder Templimits mit Beginn in der Zukunft schon eintragen zu können. So werden ab 30.04. In Niederkassel-Ranzel mehrere Straßen in einem Verkehrsversuch zu Einbahnstraßen.

Provide an auto-reroute disable function.
Provide an auto-reroute disable function. I was going through Atlanta and routed off of I-75 HOV lane (75 mph) to surface streets, only to be routed back on to I-75 slow lane (10-15 mph). That cost me about 15 minutes trying to get back to the HOV lane.

Feature request: Improved lane guidance in instrument cluster / HUD
I’m using Waze on a BMW 420 (2025, G26), and I’ve noticed a limitation when displaying navigation in the instrument cluster.
When approaching exits or roads with multiple gradual splits, the arrow indicates the direction, but it doesn’t clearly show which lane or side to keep. This makes it difficult to follow navigation using only the cockpit display.
On the main screen, lane guidance is much clearer — it shows multiple lanes and highlights exactly which one to take (e.g., far-left lane). This is very helpful and improves driving confidence.
It would be great to have the same lane-level guidance…
