Customizable reporting shortcuts on the main screen
Waze should allow users to add two or three customizable reporting shortcuts to the main navigation screen.
For example, reporting a stopped vehicle currently requires several taps through different menus. While doing this, drivers must look at the screen instead of the road, which can be distracting and potentially dangerous.
Most users regularly use only a few of the available reporting options. Customizable one-tap shortcuts would make it possible to report common hazards much faster and return full attention to the road immediately.

Feature suggestion: Show the effect of traffic next to the ETA
I suggest adding a traffic-impact indicator next to the estimated time of arrival.
The indicator would compare the current estimated travel time with the estimated travel time under clear, traffic-free conditions. This would allow drivers to immediately understand how much traffic is affecting their journey.
For example:
- Traffic-free travel time: 30 minutes
- Current estimated travel time: 40 minutes
- Traffic delay: +33%, or 10 additional minutes
Another possible format would be a “traffic efficiency” percentage:
- 100% means traffic is not increasing the travel time.
- 75% means the journey currently takes approximately 33% longer than it would under clear conditions.

Add a button using carplay
Add a “report via voice” button on the bottom right of the map. I’m in the UK so drive on the right. So to reach over and press report button, then the furthest button away is report via voice its not easy to do while driving. A one tap button on the bottom right would make this MUCH quicker. And get rid of the voice that speaks first.. I want to make my report quickly not wait with “thinking” on the screen, then for someone to speak to me before I can report. Report via voice is meant to be…

Anti-Rubbernecking Alert: Active voice prompt to prevent "curiosity" traffic jams
The Problem:
One of the main causes of heavy traffic jams on highways is drivers slowing down to look at car accidents ("rubbernecking"), even when the accident is on the shoulder or a completely different lane and does not block the traffic flow. This behavior creates "phantom traffic jams" that waste millions of driving hours and increase the risk of secondary rear-end collisions.The Solution (Feature Request):
Develop a smart, location-based alert system that activates when the following conditions are met:Detection: Waze's algorithm detects a significant slowdown near a reported accident, but also recognizes (via user reports or historical…

Ford Sync 4 Integration
Please have a look at integrating Waze into the newer Ford Sync 4 systems.
Waze works amazing well on Carplay on my Ford Everest 2023. But it really lacks the on dash turn notifications that you get with Apple and Google Maps. I love using Waze but find that I turn to Apple or Google maps especially for inner city nav.
Please add the Sync 4 and Sync 4a in to your next release. I believe Ford have make the API available via their in-Vehicle APIs (Ford AppLink).

Flock
Allow users to add flock and other cameras to the map like speed cameras so police cannot just remove them. It is a serious constitutional rights issue that needs to be resolved.

It is too hard to enter road closures!
It is too hard to enter road closures! Waze gives directions to an exit or road that is closed. I am confused and looking for hazards. No time to enter data on your cumbersome app! We need a quick way to enter road closures . Even using the voice method is cumbersome.

To sign to give feedback is too hard! I have tried 7 times already.. typed my idea over and over
It is too hard to give feedback! Logging in again and again. Typing my idea over and over. Stop covering driving instructions with alerts! Make the alerts opaque or.. move them to a different area on the screen!

Sprachausgabe wiederholen
Manchmal habe ich die letzte Meldung in der Navigation überhört.
Daher fände ich es sinnvoll, wenn es in Waze eine Möglichkeit gäbe die letzte Ansage nochmal wiederholen zu lassen wie dies bei der ein oder anderen Navi-App möglich ist.
Vielen Dank!

Navigation interruption
When receiving a Botim or WhatsApp call while driving, Waze gets pushed to the background, interrupting map navigation. To prevent this, please add support for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. Additionally, if you re-open Waze after a call, it forces you to re-search the destination; the app should instead save the active trip and resume navigation automatically.
Suggested Fixes:
* Implement Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode so the map remains visible during calls.
* Ensure active navigation state is preserved so trips don't need to be restarted manually.3 votes -

Add traffic lights and stop signs
Please add traffic lights and stop signs to the map. I’ll switch back to Waze in a heartbeat if you do. It’s impossible to drive new places without them in Japan —therefore I’m forced back to Google Maps but I don’t like it as much.

Feature Request: Show Predicted Traffic Signal Status
I would like to suggest a feature that displays the predicted traffic signal status at upcoming intersections.
The idea is to estimate the signal state (Red, Yellow, or Green) using anonymous real-time movement data from Waze users. By analyzing how groups of vehicles stop, wait, and start moving through a signalized junction, Waze could infer the current traffic light phase with reasonable accuracy, even where there is no direct connection to the traffic signal system.
Possible benefits:
Helps drivers anticipate stops more smoothly.
Encourages gradual braking and acceleration, improving fuel efficiency.
Reduces unnecessary hard braking.
Provides better situational awareness, especially…1 vote -
Добрый день сделайте предупреждение голосом о камерах даже если соблюдаю скоростной режим потому что не всегда смотришь на телефон.
Не всегда получается получается смотреть на телефон где камеры и бывало что набирал скорость перед камерой потому что визуально не увидел,а было бы лучше голосовое предупреждение не зависимо от скорости.

Android Auto
Antes o Waze funcionava muito bem, mas recentemente ficou com bug: está muito devagar e travando bastante na hora de mostrar a rota quando uso no Android Auto. Isso vem acontecendo há alguns meses.

Allow Waze users to correct sightings of "mobile police cameras" when it fact the devices are "license plate readers".
My town has many "license plate readers" that allow police to locate stolen cars or to respond to Amber and Silver alerts. Too many people report them as "mobile police cameras". These devices are not "mobile" and they are not intended to monitor speed. They are intended to locate bad actors. In fact, Waze should not identify these plate readers because they might help bad actors escape detection.

Thanks in advance!

Most motorbike riders use Waze and unfortunatley the voice prompts don't work.
I would like to suggest the not there / still there options become more if it is still there you don't have to touch the screen, so it only the not there.
