Move the road alerts to the top right or bottom left corner so not blocking arrival time?
Can you move the road alerts to the other side of the screen so I can still see the distance and arrival time without to click the "still there or not there" button to remove the alert?

Evacuation zones
I know these currently exist via Champs/Coordinators, this is a suggestion on how these work.
We in NC have had a big issue with DOT not knowing every closed road and considered almost half the state as closed. NC leadership worked with champs and coordinators to get an evacuation zone set up. However, we noticed that routing through this zone was still enabled. Based on this here is 2 suggestions we came up with.
1 - Route Around - This suggestion is to restrict travel from outside the zone to outside the zone through the zone completely. This is the…

Adjust routes
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitations:
- Add the ability to manually edit a route with multiple intermediate stops
Waze usually finds good routes, but sometimes I want to manually adjust it — set 2–3 waypoints, fix the path myself, and avoid places I don’t want to pass. Right now, it’s not possible to fully customize a route this way.
- Allow starting a route from a different location (not current GPS location)
In Ukraine, GPS can be unreliable or blocked in certain areas. Sometimes…

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.

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..
96 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!

ZBE España-Bajas emisiones
Waze debería avisar de las zonas de bajas emisiones de todas las poblaciones de España que la han declarado al igual que hace con la Madrid central. El otro día me multaron en Getafe

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…

Funcion cambio tamaño visualizacion
Hola, llevamos unos años, que muchos usuarios estamos actualizando los gps integrados del coche por pantallas android más modernas, así como usuarios que no disponian de gps integrados están instalando pantallas android.
Los usuarios de waze se dividen en tres tipos, con gps integrado moderno, los que usan el smarfone teléfono y los que hemos instalado una nueva pantalla android. Para los dos primeros el tamaño de visualización está optimizado, pero para los usuarios con nuevas pantallas android no, y es una lotería.
Esas pantallas llevan un software predefinido, que no permite jugar con el tamaño de la visualización de…

Up Ahead Information
Garmin devices have an "Up Ahead" feature that shows approaching things on the route, like Public Toilets, Petrol Stations, or Supermarkets. This would be EXTREMELY useful on Waze if you needed to call into one of those places.

Display destination address
It is critical that you roadmap displaying the destination address, instead of 'unknown address'. It's poor not to have this as a default feature for a map app. Dissappointing that this has not been prioritised.

Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like those for…

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 -
Ich habe einige Worte
Hallo liebes Waze Team,
ich habe einige Fehler in der App entdeckt und habe ein paar Tipps und Vorschläge für euch.
Fehler: Unter „Stimme und Ton“ -> „Sprich zum Melden“ lässt sich der Button nicht aktivieren. Er schaltet sich immer wieder auf OFF. Außerdem gibt es bei Apple CarPlay ein Problem: Wenn sich die Route ändert, verlängert oder verkürzt, erscheint unten links eine Anmerkung, die mit $$ beginnt. Ich vermute, dass es sich dabei um einen Bug handelt.
Vorschläge: Es wäre super, wenn man in der App die Ampel sehen könnte. Das würde das Fahren deutlich sicherer machen, besonders in…

The leave later function
You've changed the leave layer function to accommodate only travel planned in advance. It no longer works if I decide I need to go to town TODAY and want to arrive at 4 pm, what time should I leave. I understand the concept of planning a trip in advance but I won't use it. I used the prior leave later function all the time and loved it. I suggest you include both. Let wazers who plan in advance do so before the day of their departure. But please bring back the more immediate function of leave later so those of…
