Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts
Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.
When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.
Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to…

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.

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…39 votes -
Add support for Eircodes (Ireland's Postal Code system)
Irish Eircode support is required in Waze. Unlilke a lot of postcode systems, Irish Eircodes are unique codes that match to an exact building/address. https://www.eircode.ie/benefits/overview
I am constantly getting issues reported by users of the below:
Search for an address by its house number, you get correctly routed to the correct road as we have added house numbers.
Search for the eircode, Waze pulls the coordinates from Google and routes to the nearest segment, so many times, this is the incorrect road, a lot of the time it routes users to roads behind the address beause I assume it's technically…

Allow us to make a user-imposed max speed limit
In countries like Australia, where Learner or P-Plate drivers are restricted to speed limits such as 90km/h or 100km/h regardless of the posted speed, having the option in apps (like Waze) to set a custom speed limit for their driving profile would be incredibly useful.
This feature could allow users to input their maximum allowable or planned driving speed, which the app could then use to calculate more accurate estimated times of arrival (ETAs) for trips. It could also help improve route recommendations by prioritising paths that are more suited to their speed restrictions (e.g., avoiding motorways if the speed…

Differentiate alternative routes from each other by color
If you display alternative routes while actively navigating/driving, they will all be displayed in the same color. It would be helpful to display each route in a different color for easy differentiation.

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…

Multi-Stop Route Planning
Overview:
Waze currently allows users to set a single destination at a time, requiring them to manually input a new route after reaching their first stop. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially for users who need to make multiple stops in one trip.
Proposed Feature:
Enable users to set a route with multiple destinations in advance. Instead of navigating only from Point A to Point B, users will be able to plan a route such as:
A → B → C → D
Waze will automatically guide them from one stop to the next without requiring manual input between…10 votes -
Separate lane sign for public transport
Waze is far long ago navigates with public transport lanes, but still there is no public transport sign in lane editor on the junctions, so it is impossible to place the lane signs on junctions like in the pic. below correctly
I suggest to add additional PT lane sign like this, that will solve the navigation problem and will correctly show the location of PT sign

Don’t change the route automatically during trip navigation
I don’t want Waze to change the route automatically without my permission after I chose at the beginning. It happens I choose a ruote and then, just for avoiding few minutes of traffic, I have to pay more highway and more fuel for longer route. I want Waze ask for me permission to change, despite a simple pop up “better route found” in which I can only choose yes, and if I don’t reply yes (of course I m driving) Waze change it automatically. Please make a pop up where if I dont say “yes change route” the route is…

Customizable Speedometer & Speed Limit Position in Waze
Hi Waze Team and fellow Wazers,
I’d love to see an option to move the speedometer and speed limit display to the right side of the screen and make it bigger. Currently, it's positioned on the left, and is too small, which isn’t ideal for drivers in right-hand drive countries like Australia, the UK, and Japan. Having the ability to choose its placement and size would improve visibility and safety, making it easier to check speed limits at a glance.
A simple toggle in the settings would be a great addition and could enhance the experience for many users worldwide.…

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.

put in little icons to tell where the traffic lights are so we know exactly where we are turning!
kind of like apple maps, tell us where the traffic lights are so we have a better understanding of the map!

You should be able to put a parameter like number of minutes saved to say don't reroute me unless it saves x minutes
WAZE will re-route when it only saves about 2 minutes. I want to be able to set a parameter that says don't re-route me unless it saves more than 5 minutes. Also don't re-route me to a toll road unless it saves 10 minutes

Permission to use a specific private road
In many places there is more than one access road, one for guests and one for residents. The entrance that is for residents only is usually marked as a private road. WAZE takes me a full circle to get around the entrance that I am allowed to use as a resident. I suggest that there should be an option to add permissions to use a particular private road.

I would like to be warned about upcoming traffic jams and given the option to reroute, even if it takes a bit longer.
If there is a traffic slow down of greater than 0.5 miles to less than 30% of the posted speed limit, a notification should be sent far enough in advance to allow the user to choose another route, even if it takes longer. I have traffic jams enabled but do not receive advance notification until it’s too late and I am stuck.
