Sugestão de atualização no aplicativo – com base em relato de visitantes
Esta sugestão é baseada em relatos de visitantes do município que estavam em deslocamento com destino ao Parque das Nascentes. Segundo o relato de uma visitante, ocorrido no dia de ontem, o aplicativo Waze indicou um acesso considerado mais rápido, passando pela Transpetro (Estrada da Petrobras). No entanto, o trajeto se mostrou bastante complicado, difícil e inseguro, gerando transtornos durante o percurso.
O relato foi feito como um adendo, reforçando a importância de alertar os usuários sobre esse acesso, a fim de evitar que outros visitantes passem pela mesma situação.
Diante disso, sugerimos que o aplicativo seja atualizado com informações…

Change hazard text from "car on shoulder" to "vehicle on shoulder"
It's only a minor thing, but the description within the hazard reporting mechanism to alert users to a vehicle on the shoulder currently reads "car on shoulder."
This may discourage people from using it if it's a truck, or some other vehicle that isn't strictly a 'car'.

Update camera alerts
Hi Waze team,
I’ve noticed that some of the new speed cameras in Romania appear on the map but don't trigger any alerts or warnings while driving. It would be really helpful if these cameras could be included in future updates so that drivers can receive proper notifications. Thanks a lot!1 vote -
Please change urgently the Pot hole confirmation
Please remove the confirmation of the pot hole Is it there? And leave only the Remove button. It can cause accident! By being focused on confirming the pothole you enter in the pothole or badly you enter in the care from the other side trying to avoid the pothole in the last minute! The pot hole will be there till the authorities will fix it so please take out the confirmation button!!!

Crash
I would like Waze to send push notifications about reported accidents even when navigation has not started yet.
Currently Waze only alerts drivers about accidents during active navigation. However, many professional drivers (taxi drivers, couriers, delivery drivers, etc.) check traffic conditions before departure to plan safer and faster routes.
Suggested feature:
Allow users to receive accident alerts in advance within a configurable radius (similar to the existing distance-based alert settings). This would help drivers:
• Plan routes before starting navigation
• Avoid dangerous or blocked areas early
• Reduce congestion and delays
• Improve road safety
• Save significant time…1 vote -
Can you design an icon for speed humps
Can you design an icon for speed humps. Very dangerous if the speed hump is not properly marked. Especially in South Africa

Caution: Unusual activity reported nearby. Slow down and drive with care.”
I’d like to propose a community-reported Safety Alert for situations where unusual or unclear activity near the roadway creates uncertainty and potential risk, even when the cause is not clearly visible or identifiable.
In these moments, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue, leading to panic braking, sudden U-turns, or drivers unknowingly entering unstable areas.
Examples include:
Sudden crowd activity blocking streets
Chaotic traffic behavior with no clear incident
Loud or alarming sounds affecting driver focus
Unstable situations where drivers begin stopping or turning around abruptly
In these cases, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue.
Proposed alert

Alerta de Perigo (Danger Alert): Ofuscamento Solar / Sun Glare Hazard Alert
O Problema (The Problem):
Nas rodovias, durante o nascer e o pôr do sol, a luz solar incide diretamente na visão dos motoristas (ofuscamento). Isso reduz drasticamente a visibilidade, causando cegueira momentânea e aumentando o risco de colisões graves, atropelamentos e saídas de pista. Atualmente, o Waze avisa sobre neblina e chuva, mas ignora o sol forte.
(On highways, during sunrise and sunset, sunlight hits drivers' eyes directly (sun glare). This drastically reduces visibility, causing momentary blindness and increasing the risk of severe collisions. Currently, Waze warns about fog and rain but ignores dangerous sun glare.)

Ajouter la possibilité de signaler une importante fumée
Bonjour,
Pouvez-vous donner la possibilité d’ajouter la possibilité de signaler une importante fumée.
J’ai utilisé le signalement « pollution » pour indiquer une fumée importante, mais ça n’est pas super pertinent.
Bonne route à toutes et tous1 vote -
Police report aprox 15km in advance
I suggest reporting to the police about 15 km in advance because they hide the radar several km behind and Waze notifies you in fewer km being too late. Announcing about 15 km in advance helps you be more cautious until you reach the police crew

Sharing phone accelerometer data as an early warning to slow
Imagine being able to see around corners to know that someone has just braked really hard up ahead
or swerved lanes? Waze could collect acceleration data and use it as an early warning to cars behind.The DriveScore app uses the same phone accelerometer data to provide personal driving style feedback to the owner. But wouldn't it be so much better to share it with the cars nearby?
As an example, if every driver in lane 3 of a motorway is slowing, changing lanes then speeding up again at the same static location, there will likely be a common cause…

ambulance alert by location
With increased distractions in traffic, whether due to high driver concentration or the use of loud music, the approach of an ambulance responding to an emergency often goes unnoticed. In light of this, it would be extremely useful if Waze offered a feature capable of alerting drivers to the passage of an ambulance on a rescue mission. The proposal consists of a visually striking, flashing, full-screen alert that would only disappear after user confirmation via a button. This alert would be triggered by the ambulance crew themselves, through a specific and differentiated login, allowing the notification to be sent to…

Police points
Can you give points for a police officer only after it’s been “liked” or “confirmed” by someone else. It seems a lot of people randomly report police when no one is there and I feel like it’s just for points. Like I’m literally driving and out of nowhere it pops up on my alerts right in front of me but there’s no cop present. Also if there’s one cop can you set a proximity alert so people don’t report like 5 of the same cop.

Fog
For fog/mist, instead of making it a certain spot like a traffic camera or police, make it like traffic where is covers a stretch of road

Real-Time "Reckless Driver" Alert to Improve Road Safety
A proposal to introduce a new reporting category that allows users to alert others about reckless or dangerous driving in real-time, enabling nearby drivers to take precautionary measures and prevent accidents.
The Problem:
Reckless drivers (excessive speeding, weaving between lanes, aggressive tailgating) pose an immediate threat to everyone on the road. Currently, law-abiding drivers have no way of receiving an early warning about a dangerous vehicle approaching them. In many cases, this lack of awareness leads to severe accidents that could have been avoided if drivers had a few seconds to react.Proposed Solution:
Add a new report type under…2 votes -
Add a “Leaving parking spot” community report
Waze already has a strong community reporting culture for traffic, hazards and police. A similar approach could be used for parking. When a user is parked, there could be a simple optional button like “I’m leaving this spot”. After confirmation, Waze would mark that location as recently vacated and show it to nearby drivers for a short time window (e.g. 5–10 minutes) and within a limited radius. This would be a community-driven signal, not a guaranteed or legal parking spot, similar to other crowdsourced reports in Waze. The feature could be opt-in, anonymized, time-limited, and removed automatically after a few…

Integración alertas vehículo detenido de baliza obligatoria DGT V-16 en navegación WAZE
En España ya es obligatorio que todos los vehículos dispongan de una baliza V-16. En caso de que esta baliza se active, automáticamente envía una alerta a los sistemas de la DGT, con la posición del vehículo detenido. Sería más que interesante integrar esta información, de acceso público, automáticamente en la app WAZE; para alertar automáticamente de un vehículo detenido en cuanto una baliza así lo indique. De esta forma, cualquiera que esté utilizando el navegador dispondrá de esta información de antemano.

Red Flashing Alerts
Before the new update, the speed cameras, red light cameras and police would always flash red, especially when you are speeding. It doesnt do that anymore in the new update, and its made it difficult to see where the cameras are. I dont like voice alerts and I'd always rely on the red alerts. Please change this.
