Enhanced Visual Warning for Speed and Red-Light Cameras
I would like to propose an additional visual alert system for speed and red-light cameras within Waze. The idea is to introduce a transparent red overlay that flashes on the screen as drivers approach a camera location.
This feature would serve as a strong visual cue, especially for users who may not always be actively looking at their GPS display or listening to audio directions. The flashing overlay would draw immediate attention and help ensure drivers are more aware of upcoming enforcement zones.
To keep the experience user-friendly and adaptable, I recommend that this alert be offered as an optional…

Choose Route in Android Auto
When using Android Auto, allow users to choose from available routes, regardless if Avoid Tolls, Freeways, etc... is selected.
Route choice is available directly in the Waze app, however, when connected, Android Auto locks the Waze app preventing the user from accessing it directly from the phone (love that safety feature)!
Please allow users to choose a route when using the app, including tolls or no tolls.

Improve usability for EV drivers
Please add more EV friendly information. Have no option to choose EV as fuel type and doesn't show charging stations. Since buying my car, I've actually found Google Maps a far better option but do miss the community reporting of Waze as its not as good in Google Maps

Vitesse masquée par les indications
La vitesse est masquée par les indications en position horizontale du téléphone....
Donc quand un radar est indiqué, on ne voit ni la vitesse autorisée, ni la vitesse a laquelle on roule ....
Il faut modifier cela pour avoir toujours la vitesse visible ! ( C'est le cas en position verticale du téléphone)4 votes -
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…

Bring back the passenger exception
I use android auto and my wife copilots using her phone. Now she cannot use her phone to scan for places to stop or check for obstacles especially in an rv. Waze is now useless for road trips. Back to another map because waze is the only one w this restriction.

Que se avise siempre de la presencia de un radar. Una opción para avisar por voz de las incidencias como se hizo por una época.
- Los radares siempre deberían avisarse, a lo mejor quieres adelantar a alguien y justo empiezas a adelantar cuando el radar está encima.
- Poder mandar alertas con comandos de voz, no es seguro tener que tocar el móvil para poner una alerta, yo nunca uso el móvil si estoy en movimiento, por seguridad de los que avisan y del resto de conductores añadiría esta opción.

Viewing Alternate Routes
Bring back the ability for users to view alternate routes on their phone. Right now I can only view alternate routes using my car display. Why? I often want to plan my route before getting in the car. Why are you forcing users to be in the vehicle to plan their route?

Add Road Surface Quality Layer (like OsmAnd) to Avoid Poor Roads
Currently Waze shows real-time hazards like potholes, but there's no permanent layer showing overall road surface quality (asphalt condition, gravel, smoothness).
Many apps like OsmAnd use OpenStreetMap 'surface' and 'smoothness' tags to color-code roads: green=smooth asphalt, yellow=rough, red=gravel/dirt. This helps plan routes avoiding bumpy secondary roads, especially in Hungary/Europe where road quality varies wildly.
Feature request:
Add toggleable 'Road Quality' layer in map settings.
Show road types: paved/smooth, paved/rough, unpaved, etc.
Route planner option: 'Avoid poor surface roads'.
Use community-edited data (OSM + Waze reports).
This would make Waze perfect for long trips with low-clearance cars (like hybrids) or motorcycles.…

satellite roads
I do understand the possible changes behind the scenes of the app but i honestly believe satellite roads is safer and more efficient for drivers as it provides a clearer view of the roads being driven on and not confusing drivers as it is confusing with cartoonish roads that nearly blend in together making it hard to understand which roads to take especially on highways. I have personally experienced not only myself but also seen other users of Waze experience missing exits and nearly and actually getting on to wrong exits because of the confusing “cartoonish” Waze maps. These situations…

SPLIT: I don’t like that others can see my speed
I don’t like that others can see my speed if I use that part of the app so I can watch my speed. Can authorities access that info ever??? Because I do speed sometimes and I don’t want others seeing or recording my speed...
