  1. Temporary Traffic Lights with 2Way,3Way & 4-Way sub categories

    Add a category of “Temporary Traffic Lights” with sub categories of 2-Way, 3-Way and 4-way.
    It would be hugely helpful to know, especially 4Way as I would go to great lengths to avoid those!

  3. More bad weather descriptions

    Instead of “bad weather reported ahead,” there should be options for co-pilots to select “high winds,” or blowing snow,” or “heavy rain,” or “hail,” or “sleet,” or “tornado,” etc

  5. Continuous display of ALTITUDE

    It would be nice to see continuously the current altitude in Waze
    Sería bueno ver continuamente la altitud actual en Waze.

  6. Remove 'Reported map issue' from UR description

    This auto generated "Reported map issue" text in the description field isn't adding much value.

    In fact that field is supposed to be extra info from the user..

    Hey, 


    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

  7. Make UR emails replyable

    Like right now there's a couple of reporters that reply to the emails instead of clicking on the links. Would it be possible to create a certain email wildcard that posts what they say in the email onto WME? I've seen this done with other businesses so I don't know why Waze can't do it. For the meantime at least add a banner at the top of the email body stating it's a no reply email and to use the links provided instead.

  9. New instructions for crossroad junctions/interchange

    In the UK, there has been an ongoing debate on the most effective way to map crossroad junctions where drivers have to cross a main road without priority, as shown in this image:
    https://imgur.com/bpKJi9R

    The default instructions do not include guidance for routes that go straight, leading to URs for missing instructions even when no turns are required. As there's no instruction, the driver may not realise they have to give way/stop, leading to a potential accident.

    If we were to add a "Continue" instruction, it may imply priority, which is not the case, and again, this may lead to…

  10. Let to use keyboard (as passanger) on Android Auto

    As a user, I would like to have with Android Auto the same option as with Apple CarPlay to use the keyboard as a passenger.

    Currently, while I'm driving with family f.e. on a highway in my country it's illegal to stop on the side of the road. So I'm not able to enter the destination address while in motion. My wife as a passenger has to plug out my phone from USB and enter it manually and plug it in again. It's just plain stupid. It's not even a security option if I have to use my phone to…

  11. Ask for rating and feedback at the end of journeys like Google Maps does

    After finishing each journey, there should be a prompt to rate the journey in the scale of sad faces or smiley faces like Google Maps does at the end of journeys.

    Far too many times Waze re-routes to save a few minutes but takes you down through the tightest narrowest roads possible.

    In London, UK roads can either be a breeze or they can be like driving through a maze with all the small tight roads meant for one way traffic but is actually used for two way traffic.

    Then please implement the feedback and ratings to show routes where…

  12. Restart Carpool Feature

    The carpool feature was really helpful to save costs! Was shutdown during covid and we badly need it back. Why does every brilliant app/ invention by Google gets shutdown or shelved ?!

  13. Sloping / inclined streets

    In Latam and some other cities I have known, there are streets with inclines of more than 15° and some vehicles cannot drive up these roads due to several factors.

    1) low power vehicles
    2) Motorcycles
    3) climatic factors that prevent the vehicle to go up this road.
    4) vehicles parked on the sides that prevent other vehicles from passing.

    It would be interesting to make waze as well as avoid freeway roads we can add the inclination and avoid it.

  16. Waze and EZPass rewards!

    I get frequent emails from EZPass that have my statements for the amount of money that has been charged to my card for passing through tolls.

    I drive through two tolls each day, and these rack up quite quickly, and can be a little bit of a burden on the wallet.

    What I thought would be a great idea is if Waze and EZPass connected somehow and offered some sort of reward where if you go through a certain number of tolls while using the Waze app, you get a free toll paid for by them.

    Even just one of…

  17. Knowing the direction of the closure

    Hi>
    Why isn't the closure displayed in the app the same way it is on the Waze map editor?
    We often encounter misleading reports where users believe the entire street is closed.
    I believe it would be beneficial to add small arrows to the traffic closure, similar to those in the map editor, to indicate the direction of the closure.

    thanks!

  18. Creating option in settings to 'Allow U-turns when available'

    Currently in the UK, the Waze app will not suggest a u-turn when it is legal and available, and instead it will reroute you in big, difficult, time-wasting loops. It usually happens when you make a wrong turn or are in a rural area. A simple U-turn can save lots of time and frustration but Waze suggests 10+ minute detours instead. Very frustrating and something the user should have power over, given that the country (The UK in this case) allows u-turns on its roads except when specifically prohibited.

  19. Allow longer time to report road closure.

    When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel…

  20. Carpool קארפול

    להחזיר את קארפול ישראל.
    היה מאוד שימושי וחבל שאין אותו יותר.
    גם ככה התחבורה הציבורית בישראל גרועה אז לפחות היה קארפול.
