New menu "Traffic events" on the app
Currently the only way to get notified about a traffic event is through a push notification that Wazes decides to send to the users that may be affected by that event. This leads to many users not receiving the push notification (phone is off, haven’t driven throught the impacted zone recently…) and don’t get notified about the event.
I propose a new “Traffic events” menú in the app. It would be very useful to people that need to visit a place that has never driven with Waze on because they could check if there is any event impacting traffic in…

Snap "Broken Traffic Light" reports to the nearest light & restrict outside valid zones
Currently, users can report "Broken Traffic Light" anywhere, which leads to spam, point-farming, and incorrect placements on highways or open roads with no traffic lights.
Since traffic lights are now an official feature in the Waze Map Editor, the reporting system should be updated:
Snap to Traffic Light Node: To account for delayed reporting while driving, clicking "Broken Traffic Light" should automatically attach the alert to the nearest registered traffic light node passed recently, instead of the driver's current position down the road.
Restrict Invalid Locations: If no traffic light node exists nearby, disable the option or display a message:…6 votes -
Always Display the Next Turn for Safer, Easier Navigation
🚗HELLO FELLOW WAZERS, IF THIS IS A FEATURE YOU’D LOVE TO HAVE, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO HIT THE ⬆️ VOTE BUTTON!
If you’ve ever completed a turn only to discover that your next turn or maneuver is almost immediately afterward, and suddenly you need to get across two or three lanes, you know exactly why this feature would be helpful.
I believe Wazers would benefit from Waze making navigation even more helpful by offering an option to always display the next turn or maneuver underneath the current navigation instruction.
➡️ NEXT: Turn right in 500 ft

Feature Request: Manual Route Mode & Simulation for Navigation under GPS Spoofing / Electronic Warfare (EW) Conditions
In regions affected by electronic warfare (EW) and GPS spoofing (such as Ukraine, Israel, and other conflict zones), navigation apps like Waze become unusable. Drivers frequently experience their location jumping to completely different cities, countries, or oceans due to fake GPS signals.
Currently, when GPS is spoofed, Waze attempts to reroute from the fake location, rendering the app useless for navigating the actual physical environment. Drivers lose access to critical real-time information such as hazards, accidents, road closures, and traffic conditions along their true intended route.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a "Manual Route Mode" (or "Spoofing Bypass Mode") that allows users…7 votes -
Average Speed Check
Subject / Title:
Clearer visual indicator for Average Speed Check zones (progress bar & average speed)
Description:
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a UX/UI improvement regarding the Average Speed Check zones (Average Speed Cameras).
Currently, Waze mostly relies on audio alerts for these zones, which can be easily missed. It would be extremely helpful to have a clear, prominent visual element on the screen so that a driver can tell at a glance (in a fraction of a second) that they are currently inside a speed check zone.
I propose adding a dedicated visual widget or bar…13 votes -
keep the Ghostbusters theme
Vote here to keep the Ghostbusters theme. Having Ecto1 as a car option with Ray's (Dan Aykroyd) voice is an amazing driving experience we all have enjoyed. One of the reasons many users even switched to Waze was just for this option. Let make it permanent for the true fans and all others to enjoy!

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable support…

Lake Ontario
I loved your app and used it every single time. I will never again use it as you change the name of Lake Ontario, just to raise the ego of an evil, wannabe dictator (like other of your former users called him).very disappointed

Confirm arrival
Confirm arrival before ending navigation
I would like Waze to confirm whether the driver has actually arrived before automatically ending navigation when they pass the destination.
Sometimes you may drive past the address because you are still looking for a place to stop, park, or simply locate the exact entrance. In these situations, Waze may consider you arrived even though you are still trying to reach the destination.
A simple prompt such as “Have you arrived, or are you still looking for your destination?” could allow the driver to keep navigation active if needed.
This would also improve safety, since…7 votes -
Ability to report ALPR and flock cameras
The only current ability to report a camera is the police cameras. Please add a separate icon or ability to report these cameras.
Side note for those of you who are adamant that these don’t result in speeding tickets… they don’t until they do… do you really trust the entity behind them?5 votes -
Add "No lanes closed" response to "Waze Asks" card for roadworks alerts
A recent unannounced change has added a "What do you see?" card when approaching a roadworks alert. The only response options are to report lane closures or to indicate that the roadworks are no longer there. There is no intuitive option to dismiss the question or respond that construction is still taking place but no lanes are closed.
The majority of roadworks take place without any lane closures, yet the app assumes that closures will occur.
Without an intuitive way to respond differently to a lane closure, many users seem to be selecting one of the closure options to dismiss…53 votes -
Use the Bluetooth mesh for alerts when there is no internet connection (like Bitchat)
Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network. Just like it's done with the Bitchat app.
Many times we drive a very long stretch without internet access, and important events happen on the road that we need other drivers to see. With this Bluetooth network activated, we can share with drivers near us, and they can share with those closest to them, eventually reaching someone who has satellite internet or even mobile…25 votes -
Allow users to disable hazard warnings in roaming mode
Many (URs) user reports caused by permanent hazards in roaming mode - reporters are driving on highways and app will provide warnings about RR crossings, speed bumps and other hazard alerts located on the side roads.
It will be nice to allow users to disable warnings in roaming mode.Or maybe waze developers can modify/improve “algorithm” to detect speed, road type, etc before providing hazard alerts on side roads in roaming mode?

Enable Toyota instrument cluster navigation
New Toyota vehicles like Corolla 2023+, latest C-HR, and similar cars have the ability to partially show navigation on the instrument cluster in front of the steering wheel. For example turn right after 150 meters. This works with Google Maps, but not with Waze. Waze has implemented this functionality in the beginning of the year 2025, but not for Toyota vehicles. Please add support for Toyota.

Horse Ahead
An option for horse riders to mark themselves as road users for a period of time which alerts cars that there is a ‘horse and rider ahead’. It would prevent so many accidents on country lanes

Keep Lake Ontario. Stand for the character of America as a gracious, strong nation. I will delete in 1 wk
I only want to be associated with companies who put good values over intimidation and bullying. I am a political independent and a proud American. Love America, and stand up for what is right. I am a long time Waze user who will delete my account if Waze does not change the name of Lake Ontario back. Making America great is the same as making a person great - it means making us more good, virtuous, and just, using our strength to lift up all nations. Corporate responsibility means doing your part. Goodbye.
