HOV lanes: Specifically on Long Island Expressway.
This is about the HOV lane on the Long Island Expressway in NY.
During off peak hours, Waze ALWAYS directs you into the HOV lane.
1) The HOV is one lane as opposed to 3 or 4 lanes on the mail road. During off peak it's not usually faster.
2)The main problem with this, is when Waze "thinks" you're in the HOV, all notifications for Police, emergency vehicles, etc. stop unless someone in the HOV lane makes the report.That even goes for when the Police are hiding on the left shoulder on the left of the HOV.
There's no…

Warning notification
Can you please move the box that appears to warn you of a speed trap so it doesn't obscure the speed your driving at/speed limit indicator. Or move the speed indicators to the top right hand area of the display. Thanks!

Not really an idea, but an issue. On IOS 18.5 iPhone 15 when I open Waze and try to enter an address it always freezes up.
I have to close the app 3-4 times before I can actually enter the address. This has caused me to switch my I another app several times just so I don’t have to deal with it. I’d rather use Waze. Please fix this.

Option to set size for alert bubbles
Make an option to select which alert bubbles you want to see and setting to
make that bubbles big enough to be able to see them without zooming in the map. Now at some
point you can't see what is that little dot on the map because auto-zoom makes bubbles very small at high speed :(1 vote -
Icons
I think that a good idea is to have some of the most used icons on the map on the side, just a small icon for example, car crash, police, car on shoulder, just with one touch of that icon and the alert goes, no need to enter in the menu

Dear Waze team, thank you for Waze. I'm as thankful as Conan.
please add button for manual route recalculation at the bottom of the screen. Often i need it recalculated really on the fly because in rush hours the traffic turns from empty/green to very red in couple of minutes. Therefore a route calculated at the start could be wrong in terms of how fast it is, often it could be as much as 10min difference. At the moment it recalculates only if i miss a turn, or if i exit the route and re-do it again (while driving is dangerous) or if it itself suggests a new route if it "detects"…

Button to constantly beep if I'm always over the speed limit. Button in same speed zone to beep when over then under and over again.
You have it set up so that I can press a button and have a sound happen if I go over the speed limit by whatever miles per hour I like which I like. The problem is once I go over that speed limit range in that zone (Zone = same street without a speed limit change). If I go under and then go back over it, it does not beep again. So I don't know if I'm going over the speed limit. Can you please put a request for improvement and put more buttons there that will make it…

Option to Increase Map Symbol Size in Waze for CarPlay
The map symbols in Waze on CarPlay are currently too small, especially when the map is zoomed out. Important icons such as mobile speed cameras are barely visible while driving.
We kindly request a feature that allows users to adjust the size of map symbols manually, either via settings or dynamic scaling. Ideally, symbols should be allowed to scale up to the size of the current vehicle position icon (navigation arrow) for better visibility.
This feature would greatly improve safety and usability, as many essential warnings are currently too easy to miss.
Thank you for considering this improvement.

Direction Indicators for Speed Cameras
Add a small directional arrow or some kind of indicator next to each speed camera symbol on the map, indicating which direction that camera is monitoring. No indicator if the speed camera monitors both sides, which is rare but still exists.

New ways to personalize the voice
I would like the option to upload previously recorded mp3 files to the personalized sound recordings area. The quality would be much better than recording through my iphone microphone. I could also record and let others use my voice as well if they wanted.

New look
Waze was great in overall but recent "refresh" made it undrivable. Car icon is covered with streets names, then when you get to complicated junctions, street names cover the actual streets and you're left guessing, which might be pretty dangerous with traffic around you. When you get any notification (radar, police, obstruction etc) the box with the name of the street you're on goes up and, yes, you don't see your car icon. If you're on the street with long name, you won't see car icon or actual streets around cause blue box with the name blocks the view. I…

Allow setting a maximum number of toll gates in route planning
Dear Waze Product Team,
I have a suggestion that would greatly benefit users travelling in toll-gated cities like Dubai.
Feature: Allow users to specify a maximum number of Salik toll gates they are okay with during a route search.
For example: “Avoid more than 2 Salik gates”
Waze would then show routes that meet this preference, while also displaying the number of Salik gates per route.
This feature would help users:
Control toll expenses and plan budgets.
Avoid surprises from unexpected toll gates.
Choose routes tailored to personal priorities (shortest time vs. fewer tolls).
Such an addition would greatly enhance…

The app did not warn me of the Sheffield clean air zone but did warn me about the Bradford one. Could be an oversight
More comprehensive clean air zone warnings.
If one does enter a clean air zone then the app could send a link to pay it. That would be really helpful 👍🏻4 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Option to stay off interstate but stay on highways
We need a new option to only avoid Interstates. Sometimes I want to travel a decent road but just not on the interstate itself. If I pick the current avoid interstates and freeways option it sends me on every backroad there is. I still want to travel highways and decent roads.

New sound idea for muted setting
I drive with voice and sounds on mute to not interrupt music and conversations.
I think it would be efficient and helpful to have an option of a little gong only 300m before a turn or a note about the ride. BUT just one, to give drivers an option to remember to look at the navigation route without really "annoying" the driver with loads of information...1 vote -
A new route suggestion
I would like to have a route suggestion that is "no traffic and no stop lights".
I'm driving a stick (manual car) and prefer to drive longer but to be "on the move" rather than get there faster sitting in traffic or stop lights.1 vote -
