Large Vehicle type
As a wheelchair user I have an XL Base Citroen Van. Currently Waze will suggest routes unsuitable to save time on en-route. Recently I got stuck in the snow following a route change that I trusted but took me on back residential roads. There is an allowance for motorcycle, taxi or private car. Selecting “large vehicle” would exclude low bridges and keep on main roads regardless of time saved. It is a matter of safety.

Display shield AND road name in the app
Please consider displaying one or more shields along with a road name in the app. Ideally, we could have the option to display more than one shield, but at least one would be very helpful. Other nav apps already do this today.
Currently, we can either display a single shield on a road OR the primary road name. Many roads are known by a common name but also have one or more shields that can be very important for navigation. Some intersections have a road name sign, while others only have a shield sign. Frequently, locals may know the road…

Multi Waypoint Route Planning
Provide multi waypoint route planning, allowing shaping points for tailoring routes, and a library to store routes.
This could be achieved online via Google Maps and synch to Waze app, perhaps under a Subscription model.
Supporting export in GPX format would be a nice value add in support of this too.3 votes -

Automatic vehicle type based on connected vehicle
Waze could automatically switch the vehicle type based on the Androide Auto / CarPlay system it connects to.
If I connect to my car, Waze uses Car mode. If I connect to my motorcycle, it automatically switches to Motorcycle mode.
This would make traffic data more accurate and remove the need to manually change the vehicle type every time.

Shut Down UserVoice
Yes, the title is clickbait. But that really is the end goal!
Let’s get straight to the point: UserVoice has done an excellent job of centralizing Waze community suggestions in a tool specifically designed for that purpose. However, after years of cumulative use, it has become clear that managing it has grown increasingly difficult.
And now, entering the scene: Discuss.
Discuss has opened up a whole new range of possibilities for community interaction. It is a technically modern platform, with a pleasant user experience and strong functional versatility.
There is no doubt that Discuss is capable of absorbing all…

Customizable reporting shortcuts on the main screen
Waze should allow users to add two or three customizable reporting shortcuts to the main navigation screen.
For example, reporting a stopped vehicle currently requires several taps through different menus. While doing this, drivers must look at the screen instead of the road, which can be distracting and potentially dangerous.
Most users regularly use only a few of the available reporting options. Customizable one-tap shortcuts would make it possible to report common hazards much faster and return full attention to the road immediately.

Anti-Rubbernecking Alert: Active voice prompt to prevent "curiosity" traffic jams
The Problem:
One of the main causes of heavy traffic jams on highways is drivers slowing down to look at car accidents ("rubbernecking"), even when the accident is on the shoulder or a completely different lane and does not block the traffic flow. This behavior creates "phantom traffic jams" that waste millions of driving hours and increase the risk of secondary rear-end collisions.The Solution (Feature Request):
Develop a smart, location-based alert system that activates when the following conditions are met:Detection: Waze's algorithm detects a significant slowdown near a reported accident, but also recognizes (via user reports or historical…

button cancel route stopped working
After last update while running on Android Auto, button cancel route(in left bottom corner, button with cross and remaining time) stopped working, even though I see it is pressed - UI item changes the color when pressed. Button worked fine before with the same car and the same phone. It looks like it is pressed - there is visual feedback, but nothing happens.

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…

Automatic rerouting requires one to break the law in many places to cancel it and should be optional
The app automatically rerouting to a different shorter route is incredibly annoying and dangerous. It defaults to choosing the new route if you don't touch the button to reject the new route. Considering the fact that operating a phone while driving is ILLEGAL in many places, including my home province, it is ridiculous that this feature cannot be disabled. This is the one thing that prevents me and many other people from using Waze more regularly. There are a lot of safety related reasons why one would choose a longer route (weather, road conditions, etc.) and yet Waze doesn't care…

Please fix expressway sign/image -
When traveling from south phoenix to north phoenix on the 202 interstate there are two other interstates within a few miles of each other that you can take depending on traffic. One of them is interstate 101 and the other is interstate 10. However the last number has been cutoff in the app so regardless of which interstate Waze suggests you take they both look like interstate 10 in the app. Please make the Arizona state sign bigger or the numbers smaller so you can tell which interstate you should travel on.

### Feature Request: Personalized Cost per Minute for Route Selection I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze's route select
Feature Request: Personalized Cost per Minute for Route Selection
I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze's route selection much more useful.
Currently, Waze will normally recommend the faster route, even when the time difference is very small and the faster route includes a significant toll.
For example:
- Route A: 42 minutes, no toll
- Route B: 40 minutes, $6 toll
Waze will normally choose Route B because it is faster, even though I am paying $6 just to save 2 minutes.
I don't want to completely disable toll roads, because sometimes paying a toll is absolutely worth…

Scooter
Objet : URGENT — Demande d'ajout d'itinéraires adaptés : Scooter 50 cc, Trottinette électrique et EDPM
Bonjour aux équipes de développement,
Je vous contacte pour signaler un manque critique dans les profils de navigation actuels, qui génère d'importants risques de sécurité et de nombreuses infractions pour les utilisateurs de deux-roues et de mobilités douces motorisées.
Aujourd'hui, les profils disponibles ne correspondent plus à la réalité du Code de la route :
Pour les Scooters / Cyclomoteurs 50 cc :
- Le mode Voiture envoie sur le périphérique, les voies rapides et les autoroutes (interdit et extrêmement dangereux en 50 cc).

Navigation interruption
When receiving a Botim or WhatsApp call while driving, Waze gets pushed to the background, interrupting map navigation. To prevent this, please add support for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. Additionally, if you re-open Waze after a call, it forces you to re-search the destination; the app should instead save the active trip and resume navigation automatically.
Suggested Fixes:
* Implement Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode so the map remains visible during calls.
* Ensure active navigation state is preserved so trips don't need to be restarted manually.3 votes -

Rerouting
Rerouting. STOP IT. We pick a route for a reason. Maybe someone is afraid of bridges or tunnels. Maybe there is a fear of heights. Or maybe we know that we want to avoid a bad area of town. We cannot choose a route to do those things with assurance that it will not change. I'm aware that there are good reasons to reroute. But we need an option to automatically accept or deny a route change. It is not safe to stare at a Waze screen waiting for a popup to select NO for a reroute. I do not…
