  1. Pothole in specific lanes/ on shoulder and other stuff too

    I want waze to say a couple of things
    1. I like the idea of knowing where potholes are on the road but I would really like it if it said what lane it’s in and what shoulder it’s on that way I’m not noticing it at the last minute
    2. I would really like it if waze said in 1,000 feet turn left or right onto this or that road I miss it when waze says that it would be really helpful for a lot of wazers imo

  2. Please add a “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.

    Please add a persistent “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.

    If a driver repeatedly deviates from the suggested route, Waze should respect that choice instead of continually re-routing them back onto the same road. Drivers often have local or real-time safety knowledge that the algorithm cannot detect.

    This would improve safety, especially on narrow roads or blind corners.

  3. Add the ability to bring up the list of roads on the Car Play screen.

    Add the ability to bring up the list of roads on the Car Play screen. In Australia it is illegal to use the Phoine whislt driveing so we cant view the road list. Not aware of any other Phone app that has this feature

    Tiltsa az alkalmazás a budapesti lánchídra való felhajtást mert a gerinctelen hiénák büntetnek nem kicsit ártatlan embereket hoznak megalázó helyzetbe.

  5. Nearest petrol station on the driven route

    During active navigation, on android auto, when I search for petrol station I shows me the nearest one as the crow flies, but not the nearest one on my route. (As does google maps do.)
    Sometimes it shows me a petrol station 2km away, but to get there i need to drive 20km, then drive of the highway, and drive 20km back.
    Also zooming and moving of the map would be nice while viewing the petrol stations, to see if they are a viable option.

  6. Confirm certain Alerts once

    I travel the same route 2-3 times a week with several potholes. Why do i have to confirm "Still There" / "Not There" alerts even though i have already done this on this route. Certain alerts such as "Police" or Car on Shoulder" makes sense but why must i re-confirm something i have confirmed already.

  8. Reduce Resource Consumption

    Why is Waze so resource intensive - My phone is constantly hot and my battery power gets thrashed - it feels like im running a data centre with all the resources you draw ... I always have to plug my phone in during a long trip, but this is not the case with any other mapping system.

    Please find out why you hogg all my power and processing power and fix

  9. Enable "Snap To" feature

    Please can you enable a "Snap To" feature in car play so that when you need to confirm a hazard, the cursor is already over the "Still There" / "Not There". This way one does not have to scroll to the correct area of the screen to click feedback.
    Also, why does the screen menu items come on and off and continually move when you scroll - this should stay static so as not to distract the driver

    Gostaria de sugerir a inclusão de um modo de navegação específico para veículos pesados (caminhões e ônibus). Atualmente, o aplicativo conta apenas com configurações para veículos leves, motos e táxis.
    ​Para quem trabalha no transporte de cargas, é fundamental ter rotas que respeitem as restrições de peso e altura de pontes, viadutos e vias urbanas, além de exibir os limites de velocidade corretos para a categoria nas rodovias. Essa funcionalidade traria muito mais segurança e eficiência para os caminhoneiros nas estradas do Brasil.

  12. Always show the current street name bubble (even without active navigation)

    Currently, Waze only shows the prominent bubble with the current street name when a destination is set. When driving without navigation, we have to look at the map to find small text on the roads, which is distracting and unsafe.

    Please add an option to keep the current street name bubble fixed at the bottom/top of the screen at all times. This would greatly improve readability and driver safety for those who use Waze just to monitor traffic and alerts on familiar routes.

  13. מקלטים מופיעים על המפה לבד

    כפתור לשעת חירום זה טוב, עכשיו תסנכרנו את זה עם מערכת ההתרעות של פיקוד העורף ושיופיעו המקלטים הקרובים לבד ברגע שיש התרעה באזור בו נמצא הנהג, כי לגעת בטלפון בזמן נהיגה + לחץ של אזעקה זה מאוד מסוכן

  14. Dynamic Green Corridors: Infrastructure-Integrated Predictive Routing for Emergency Vehicles

    This system connects Waze directly to a city’s emergency dispatch and traffic light grid using a secure, locked-down connection. When an ambulance or fire truck is dispatched, Waze calculates its route and instantly talks to the city's traffic systems to automatically change upcoming traffic lights to green. At the same time, Waze's engine predicts traffic bottlenecks 60 to 90 seconds ahead of the emergency vehicle and triggers a "flushing mode." This gives everyday drivers a clear, early countdown and lane instructions right on their screens, safely moving everyone out of the way and clearing gridlock before the emergency vehicle even…

  15. Scaling Waze via Infrastructure Integration and Predictive Routing

    Dear Waze Executive Team,

    I joined the Waze community recently, and as a business owner, engineer, AI professional, and cybersecurity specialist, I immediately recognized the immense strategic value of your crowdsourced data model. Waze has successfully gamified and decentralized navigation; however, the next leap in market dominance lies in transforming Waze from a consumer mapping application into a critical pillar of B2G and smart-city infrastructure.

    I have developed a high-level product framework for a premium or enterprise-tier ecosystem that I call "Dynamic Green Corridors." This feature leverages Waze’s predictive routing engine to interface directly with municipal traffic management centers, creating…

  16. ICE

    With everything thats going on and how hard this is on all families. Illegal or not i suggest adding something that says ICE reported for immigration custom enforcement like you have one that says police reported ahead. This would help many families be aware.

  17. Apply search suggestion to search bar

    Often when searching for an address, its already suggested in the list. However when a slight modification is needed, such as changing the house number, it is necessary to type in the full adress.
    Instead I would like to ask for the functionality of applying the search result to the search bar, for being able to modify the search suggestion on the fly.

  19. Take one toll on route but avoid another

    If there is more than one toll on a route, I would appreciate if we were able to select that we want to take one toll but avoid another.

    Eg. I have two tolls on my way to work, one is $5 and saves me 15 min, the other is $6 and only saves me 5 min, so I want the route to take me through the first toll and avoid the second.

    Right now Waze will only let me either take tolls or none at all

  20. New danger type: Ford (road crossing low water/river)

    New danger type: Ford (road crossing low water / river)

    Proposal:
    Add a new fixed danger category in WME for "Ford" crossings (roads that pass through shallow water, seasonal streams, wadis, or low-water river crossings).

    Reasoning:
    Ford crossings present a unique and recurring road hazard that is not fully covered by existing danger categories. These locations can become dangerous due to weather changes, flooding, water depth variation, reduced traction, or limited vehicle capability.

    Benefits:

    Improves driver awareness before reaching the crossing
    Helps prevent vehicles entering unsafe water conditions
    Particularly useful in rural, desert, mountainous, and seasonal flood areas
    Supports regions…
