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...

Zone de danger
Bonjour. En france la législation nous interdit de voir la position fixe d'un radar automatique mais elle autorise d'afficher des " zones de danger " . Malheureusement waze n'affiche pas ces zones comme l'application tomtom et l'application coyote. Il faut absolument que waze ajoute ces " zones de danger " !!

One of the Cantonese greeting is wired
For Cantonese version,
When we start the navigation, there are few versions of greeting. One of them is saying “上路”, this is really wired and uncomfortable as this term is told the person who pass away to go on his way to heaven.
There are numbers of Cantonese users get the same feeling.I think your developers may have a misunderstanding on this wording. Please help to remove it.
I have found another recommendation is the same but written in chinese years before. And it has no response for Waze. I try to use English to see if Waze can…

Retrospective (after arrival) information on route time via non-selected routes
This feature would show how long the drive would have taken had i chosen an alternate route. When caught in traffic one often feels I should have taken the other option. This feature would provide information, after arrival at destination, on how one would have fared had another option been selected.

One Way Construction Traffic Control
Warn drivers that traffic in a construction zone is reduced to one way and controlled by Construction Traffic Signals. We have had such a situation that has been ongoing for several months. This is on a major artery and waiting for an editor with the appropriate level could be counter productive.
A normal wazer should be able to report report as active or no longer active, with approval by a higher level

Reportar problema por voz
Para facilitar a reportagem de problemas enquanto se dirige, sugiro que a comunicação possa ser feita por voz, evitando que o motorista precise pesquisar na tela o tipo de problema. Por exemplo, o motorista falaria: “Hy Waze!” - o software Waze ficaria ativo para receber um comando e responderia:”Sim?”) - e então, o motorista daria o comando de voz desejado.

Hazard duration
I've checked, and I can't seem to find this suggestion, if it's already here please direct me to it.
I like to suggest that the duration of some hazards be changed. In particular potholes and construction. Potholes where I am usually last for a month at least, and there aren't enough wazers to keep the ones that are already reported active, so an extended duration for potholes would it be helpful. Even if it were a day or two, it would let other wazers confirm that it's still there.
Construction, could last for a number of hours, or the remainder…

Push the start date limit for road closures an extra month in the future
Right now, map editors can place road closures at most one year in advance. When an event ends, they often announce next year's date. It would be handy if we could add those closures at that point, even if the event will take place like a weekend later next year. Now, we often have to set a reminder to add these next week or so. Therefore, I'd like to propose this limit gets pushed one extra month in the future, making the limit 12+1 months. It might be best to adjust this limit for some other related things, such as…

For example, when there is road work, they put up temporary traffic lights, so add the option for people to report it.

Comment ajouter des itinéraires sur Waze

Hazzard confirmation UI
While driving it's very hard to use the Yes/No buttons, while paying attention to the road and hazzard that was just announced. I would suggest a large control with swipe left/right, that is easy to use without looking at the phone screen for long, and without trying to be very precise with your fingers on the screen. You could still split it in two areas, so a click on the left or right still work as Yes/No, just to avoid annoying users that are accustomed with the current UI. As it is now, I only use those buttons when I'm…

Customizable Speeding Alert Sounds
Please consider allowing users to customize the sound when a user exceeds the selected speed limit threshold. The beep the app makes is too quiet and easy to miss. A customizable sound/volume or an audible alert of "Speed Threshold Exceeded" would be useful for users who desire the alert to opt into.

Notification distance has been shortened
The distance for notifications has been shortened from 0.5 miles to just 0.3 miles for all alerts. Please move notification distance back to 0.5 miles or even let me set the notification within the app.

Verbal “Animal Alert” & Animal Icon replaced in app
Requesting update to app: 50 mile commute to & from work. High potential for animal / wildlife encounters & add a loss of connection for approx 5 miles during the trip. Would like an “Animal” icon to be placed back into the app & a verbal “Animal Alert” be announced the same way that construction, crashes, hazards & police, do so now. Not everybody lives and / or works in the city & those are two different types of driving styles for a commute. It would be nice to be alerted ahead of time, if I’m entering an area of…

Set the audio in advance
There is a risk every time you open the app and set a destination: the app could disturb you with its voice without you being able to predict it in advance. It would be enough to place the voice control on the home screen, then before setting the destination.(Of course, it's always possible to go into the settings beforehand, but it's a bit of a complex procedure and is therefore almost never done.)

Increase the map speedometer when using Apple Carplay after iOS26 upgrade.
After the iOS26 update when using the Apple Carplay the speedometer was changed to a tinny version, very hard to see when driving. The overall experience with the carplay was better, the new carplay itself changed to a better resolution that fits better the 10inch display of my car, the only exception is the small speedometer used by Waze. Please, add an option that allow the user to configure the size of the speedometer when using Carplay.

Add alert/icon for police helicopters with speed radar in Romania
I propose adding a specific alert or icon for police helicopters equipped with speed radar in Romania. These helicopters regularly monitor traffic on highways and national roads, similar to mobile speed radars.
Benefits:
Alerts drivers to maintain safe speeds, reducing accidents and speeding violations.
The icon could be a helicopter with a radar symbol and function like the current mobile radar notifications.
Provides real-time, relevant information to drivers without violating any laws.
This feature would enhance road safety and improve the relevance of Waze for drivers in Romania.
