Felix (Stray Kids) as a voice option
Felix (member of the K-pop group Stray Kids) has a calming yet engaging voice that could fit well for navigation. English language navigation would have his Australian accent, and he (or another member) could potentially record Korean language navigation as well.
23,546 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Bring back Friends feature
Friends feature was a great feature and we would like to get it back. As mentioned on multiple conferences it was a "thing" in Waze which was diffenret in Waze app, it was something close to gamification and it was bringing users to the app.
Tkanks for every vote!

Friend feature was removed to make some place for Carpool - that was said by Waze many times. Now, Carpool is dead and Google is trying to implement Friends feature - that's why we would like to have it back!

Traffic Light Indicator
Show traffic light icons at intersections. When you are in a location that you're unfamiliar with, it helps to know if your upcoming turn is at a traffic signal or not. It is perhaps the easiest differentiator between all possible turns on roads that have traffic lights.

International Land Border Wait Time Predictions
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature enhancement that could significantly improve the accuracy of ETA predictions for routes involving international land borders, such as those between the USA and Canada or the USA and Mexico.
Current Situation:
At present, it appears that Waze calculates ETA for routes involving international land borders based on general traffic data. This approach treats the border crossing as a regular segment of the journey, comparing travel times between points A and B without considering the unique delays associated with border crossings.Proposed Enhancement:
To provide more accurate ETAs and better routing…36 votes -
Remove 'Reported map issue' from UR description
This auto generated "Reported map issue" text in the description field isn't adding much value.
In fact that field is supposed to be extra info from the user..
86 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

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…

INCLUDE KAMIKAZE´S ALERT IN WAZE
LIVES COULD BE SAVED BY INCLUDING A QUICK ACCESS KAMIKAZE (vehicle driving in the wrong direction) ALERT ON WAZE. KAMIKAZES IS ONE, IF NOT THE DEADLIEST DANGERS THAT YOU CAN ENCOUNTER ON A ROAD AND WAZE DO NOT HAVE THIS ALERT. I THINK IT SHOULD INCLUDE IT ASAP

מצב 'משאית' בהגדרות פרטי רכב
צריך שיהיה בהגדרות פרטי רכב מצב משאית שאז האפליקציה לא תפנה לרחובות קטנים מאוד, ולא למתחת גשרים נמוכים לפי הגדרת גובה המשאית וגם לא לרחובות שאין כניסה למשאית, וגם איסור פרסה למשאית

Talmudic Measurements
In addition to the imperial and metric systems of measurement currently available on the Waze app, would it be possible to add another system, which the voice instructions would use? I’m thinking of the Talmudic system of measurement (tefakh, amah, ris, mil, parsah). Many in Israel would be interested in utilizing these measurements because it would be a practical application of a currently abstract system.

Animals
Please bring back the option to report animals. Who decided to remove it? I can report gas prices at the press of a button but I can’t alert anyone to Bambi skipping across the road?

RV/Truck routing
Any possibility in the future to be able to choose RV or Tractor Trailer as your vehicle then trigger truck routes that would send you around low clearances or sharp turns, step grades etc.?

Allow decimal points in House Numbers
Alphabetic characters and slashes are now allowed in House Numbers, which is a huge step forward. Unfortunately, decimal points are still not allowed. This is a problem in Puerto Rico where rural addresses are often based on kilometer posts. A rural address in Puerto Rico might look like "km 17.1 Calle Marginal". Allowing decimal points would be very helpful. Other areas might benefit from other special characters being allowed.

Waze is not for trucks!
When user installs Waze for the first time, a kind of pop-up or something similar, clearly shows that Waze is not for truck drivers.
Every day we receive complaints about bad routes for trucks and we need to explain that Waze is not for them.

Add option to add sound decibel readers
NYC specifically in the 5 boroughs of new york as well as a couple of other states started a program for sound decibel readers to be installed through out the city in other words noise cameras for cars and motorcycles. NYC has always been a loud place so this is un necessary. It is also not right towards cars that come from the factory stock such as scat pack chargers, hellcats, mustangs, harley davidson motorcycles, sports bikes, As well as many super cars. The 1st noise violation is a insane price of approximately $800 the 2nd is approximately $1600 and…

Treat roads with RTC as routable pedestrian path
Right now, when trying to route to a destination on a closed road, it's pretty much like the road no longer exists and Waze will route to the nearest open road.
Sometimes, this means that users will be routed somewhere completely different, like to the middle of a highway, to the other side of a raildroad track into a completely different neighbourhood, etc.
Segments with RTCs on them should be treated as a routable pedestrian path: route the driver to the closest entry point.

iOS 18 Dark Icon! PLEASE
Dear WAZE Support,
I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been using your app for some time now and truly appreciate its features. With the release of iOS 18, I was wondering if you could consider adding a dark mode icon option for the app.
It would be a great addition for those of us who prefer a consistent dark theme across our devices.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response!
Best regards,

Animal Alert on the Road
Good morning,
I would like to make a suggestion: in Portugal there are many abandoned animals that walk on the road, which is a danger for them and causes many accidents.
I would like there to be an "animal on the road" warning to warn drivers of the danger.
Thank you very much for your excellent work.43 votes -
Do not cancel driver reports for mis-taps
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.
Problem solved: Prevents Wazers from having their attempts to help totally aborted due to mistakes, which is discouraging, frustrating, annoying, demoralizing, and may discourage Wazers from submitting future reports.
Discussion:
When a user opens the report feature on a mobile device, they are presented with a collection of icons to choose from. If, because they are driving and trying to pay attention to the road, they happen to miss the target and accidentally tap the space between icons, the report display cancels out.…
