Kangaroo Alert Feature for Australian Waze Users
I’d love to suggest adding a new alert option for kangaroo sightings near roads. In Australia, kangaroos are a significant cause of vehicle collisions, especially around dawn and dusk. It would be incredibly helpful if drivers could mark kangaroo sightings or active areas on the Waze map, just as they can mark hazards or police alerts.
This could appear as a small kangaroo icon, notifying nearby drivers to slow down or stay alert. It would improve safety for both drivers and wildlife, helping reduce collisions, injuries, and road damage.
Since Waze already supports user-reported hazards, this would fit naturally into…

Add a “Kangaroo Alert” option for Australian roads
I’d love to suggest adding a new alert option for kangaroo sightings near roads. In Australia, kangaroos are a significant cause of vehicle collisions, especially around dawn and dusk. It would be incredibly helpful if drivers could mark kangaroo sightings or active areas on the Waze map, just as they can mark hazards or police alerts.
This could appear as a temporary small kangaroo icon, notifying nearby drivers to slow down or stay alert. It would improve safety for both drivers and wildlife, helping reduce collisions, injuries, and road damage.

Suggestion: Speed Limit Change Preview Icon (Similar to Camera Alerts)
I really appreciate the feature where Waze shows a small speed limit icon at the start of a road where the speed limit changes. For example, if I’m currently driving on a 60mph road and will be entering a 30mph zone in 1 mile, Waze shows me where the change begins — similar to how it displays speed camera icons.
This is incredibly helpful as it allows me to prepare in advance and gradually reduce speed, improving safety and compliance.Note this feature is already available on certain country roads, but it would be great to expand to every road…

Clear alert off screen
When you have a report on the screen and I dont acknowledge it, can you please clear it out of the screen instead of leaving it on for the rest of my 45-minute drive? It is distracting, and by the time I press an option, it is not correct because I am way past that point. It is confusing, and when I want to report an alert, it gets in the way and won't let me send an alert.

During CarPlay integration, when viewing alternate routes, ability to tap on the route itself versus a small tedious list to filter through
When integrated with CarPlay and viewing alternate routes, when selecting an alternate route, the ability to tap on the route itself to select versus having to choose from a small list. As another user suggested showing traffic to alternate routes would be also helpful.

Missing Pet/Animal at Large
I am a volunteer with a pet search & rescue non-profit. It would be great to have a feature where you can mark a loose pet or missing pet so as people drive by they can be notified and keep an eye out! It's not only helpful for the owners, but helpful for the driver to know there is a loose animal that can cause an accident. (Anything from a dog to cattle or horse loose)

Save route
Allow drivers to save a traveled route as a favorite to recall later. This may not be a Waze calculated route but one the driver navigated himself. Many times calculated routes may be "faster" but not better (stress in traffic, stop and go situations or the need to stay off the beaten path). Recording a path and being able to recall it is paramount in a navigation scenario.

Automatically resume current route if/when android auto reconnects
For some reason waze seems to disconnect or reload on Android Auto when I'm changing apps on my phone. This causes Waze to stop the current route I'm on and then asks me if I would like to resume the route. I would prefer if it just automatically resumes the route and I can stop it if need be.

Option to select “Use HOV” when Apple CarPlay is active.
Please add an option to select “Use HOV” when Apple CarPlay is active.
When using Waze directly on the iPhone, the app offers the HOV route option, but this option is missing when using Waze through CarPlay.1 vote -
Good afternoon My experience Waze naps used for business address not working very well. They don't take front of business. Some time I can
Good afternoon

Resident area okay but Business have to improve please.
At the moment I used Google maps. Sorry for that.1 vote -
Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted line across both…

Automatically remove pop up boxes under certain conditions
Please program an if/then response to automatically remove (without interaction) floating boxes when a road or lane change is required.
Please make floating boxes automatically disappear within .1 miles of an intersection requiring a turn.
They block the most important info that is needed, the actual map and road view.
A priority rule should be programmed in the app.
On highly congested roadways and unfamiliar highway interchanges, it is completely unsafe to read or click "still there" when that text box is covering all of the important lane information needed to get on or off in the correct lane of…

An Option to select between Mobile and Car screen while using waze with Android Auto
When I use this app with android auto, there is no option to see the map on the mobile screen (Only navigation text is available on the mobile screen) even if I am using a different map app (Like Google Map) on the car screen.
There should be an option in this app where we can decide that the navigation map should be on the phone screen or Car display. Reason to request this feature is - In some cars the car screen is at very low level near the Gear Box and people who wish to see the navigation…2 votes -
Need for voice notifications about fixed speed limits while we get warnings about upcoming radars
Hi. It could be very helpful if Waze could notify us by voice about the speed limit fixed for the given situation while it warns us about upcoming radars. This could tremendously help the drivers to control the speed without being distracted or in cases they did not notice the speed signs. In many countries, the drivers suffer the deficit of speed signs which can be very confusing and results in payments of high fines. Thanks

A Harry Dresden voice pack
I'm a big fan of the Dresden Files books, by Jim Butcher. I have recently been enjoying the audio book versions. Most of the 17 books are available read by James Marsters.
I would really enjoy a Waze app voice pack, based on James Marsters portrayal of the Harry Dresden character. (Maybe Jim Butcher himself would be willing participate)
I'm sure other Dresden Files fans would also.
Other characters from the Dresden Files, such as Molly Carpenter and Demonreach. Would be a bonus.
I think the female voice actors for Molly vary, but I'm pretty sure J. Marsters does the…2 votes -
Wazecam
Bonjour, mon idée serait de pouvoir associer l utilisation de la caméra du téléphone ou du véhicule avec votre application. Cette amélioration pourrait apporter une sécurité sur l itinéraire des utilisateurs au même titre qu une dashcam. A charge à l utilisateur de l activer ou non. Déplus en cas d accident sur le trajet Waze et l utilisateur pourrait récupérer les enregistrements pour se défendre éventuellement.
Cette amélioration permettrer d éviter d avoir plusieurs dispositifs pour un même véhicule. Deplus maintenant avec car play l utilisateur pourrait même utiliser la caméra du véhicule directement.

bevorzugte Strecke definieren
wäre es nicht cool, wenn ich eine "bevorzugte" Strecke definieren könnte, die ich dann mit den von Waze angebotenen vergleichen könnte. Als Alternative 4 sozusagen...?

waze voice reporting issue
After the last two updates, when I have my phone plugged in, the "speak the error function doesn't work as well on Android Auto. The music doesn't pause and it'll take a minute to process. It only really started functioning this way after the "big arrow issue" got fixed on Android Auto.
