way to tell waze I'm in the other parallel road
Sometimes waze tells me to enter the highway when it has heavy traffic and the service road I am is much faster. Then I disobey him, but it thinks I'm in the highway and keeps collection wrong data.
I think we you could have an option that when enabled and waze can't be sure in which of 2 parallel roads I am, I could tell him he got it wrong.
It must be a single touch in the screen to alternate between the roads, because I would be driving when it happens.
This way I would generate better data for…

Fuel efficiency
It would be a neat feature if you can enter in your odometer reading, and gas volume purchased, and every gas up you could bring up your miles/gal (or km/l). You can also tie in with gas prices to get a $/mile. You can also include a stat on the amount of CO2 released per mile.

Improve road detection while navigating
When navigating along roads that have service/access roads, the navigation will want to enter the freeway/highway/tollway/etc. If the driver stays on the access road or exits onto the access road, Waze does not detect that and keeps the location locked to the planned route. If Waze wants to route you onto a freeway/highway/tollway/etc. and you do not take the on-ramp, the app locks onto the planned route and thinks you are on the highway.
It would be nice if, when there are multiple parallel roads, that the app reduces the distance over which it will snap to a road. Another…

Dip Permanent Hazard
It would be great to have a new category of permanent hazards for dips in the roadway. Currently, there is no appropriate category for such. Many municipalities have man-made dips to serve as a traffic calming device. On the other hand, natural dips in the roadway may be encountered by Wazers throughout their travel. Having this permanent hazard can warn Wazers of such occurrences ahead of time in order to slow down and prevent potential damage to vehicles.
Another suggestion (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/38921404-reporting-uneven-road>) regarding uneven roads might be relevant as part of this new permanent hazard category.

Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts
Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.
When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.
Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to…

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

routes for caravans
Please create a category for those towing a caravan so that inappropriate routes are not offered.
I would rather travel further on a good road than be guided onto a narrow, winding, steep or unsafe surface when towing my caravan.
The risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle travelling at high speed on a windy dirt road is very high when visibility is limited and there is no room to manoeuvre15 votes -
Stacked Lane Guidance
Ability to map "stacked" lane guidance.
A stacked lane is one where you have one lane turning into two. An example I have is here in Calgary AB Canada, we have a rail underpass that you make a right turn onto, but there is a median between the two lanes (its a one-way) and you need to be is the farthest lane access the left turn at the other side of the rail underpass.
And right now, we don't have the ability to show that the first right lane is "stacked lanes"

Im sure everyone noticed this right away that waze is not working on the driver display, which is how these systems were designed to be used. Please get this working ASAP so i can stop using Google maps.

Better navigation - height width weight
Please add three values to segments, maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. All segments should default to 0.
Please add user settings of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. They should default to 0. The label should direct the user to enter their height/width in metres and weight in tonnes.
When reviewing a navigation route, check if there is a value of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight exceeding 0. If there is a value, cross-check the users maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight is lower.
If the users value is higher than the segment value, disregard that segment as a navigation option.
This would help users of a wide range of…

Entry points depending on vehicle type
Entry points depending on type of vehicle can be a very nice feature. For example, if you're driving a private vehicle and you're going to a mall, your entry point should be the parking lot, but for an Uber the entry point should be the front door of the place.
15 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

About large vehicles
Waze currently does not support heavy vehicles. However, large vehicles also cause traffic congestion, so it would be better to deal with them in the future.
Supporting larger vehicles allows you to collect more information. This information includes important information for understanding traffic conditions, such as the location and situation of traffic jams and road conditions.
Collecting this information allows Waze to provide you with more accurate traffic information. This allows drivers to avoid traffic jams or choose the best route if they are stuck in traffic.
However, supporting large vehicles also increases the burden on the server. Therefore, a…

Copilot feature
I have a suggestion that I think would be excellent and differentiating from other applications. This is a functionality that could be called "Copilot", and that allows a device with a Waze account to establish a new destination to a different device. For example, I have Waze on my device while I'm driving, and my wife can set a new destination for me from her own device without having to touch mine, for that reason I thought the function could be called "Copilot".
This same functionality would also be very useful when navigating with CarPlay, so that I can continue…

More integration with Apple CarPlay
Will Waze ever have similar functionality, such as Apple Maps that more fully integrates in with Apple CarPlay, including the heads up display and the dashboard in addition to the navigation screen? I have a BMW and apples map capability, seamlessly integrates into the heads up display and the dash in addition to the NAV screen, and it would be great if Waze went through the same thing.

Boat trailer option
Please add an option for towing a trailer. I'll be towing a 23' boat from DC to ME in August. Generally this can only go on interstates and roads without height restrictions. I know from past drives that Waze will try to take us on the Merritt or Taconic parkways where trailers are not allowed and clearance is low

Mandalorian theme
Can we get a mandalorian theme, with the armourer giving driving directions, when to go the correct way it’s confirmed with the armourers voice saying “this is the way” and maybe Kuiil saying “I have spoken”? also maybe Mandos ships as driver icon ?

Avoid part of route.
Please add an option to avoid a part of a route that you don't like. For example, if you like the route that Waze choose for you, but there is just one road you don't want to use, put the option to click on that road and have Waze route you around that road. Also add an option to avoid a road block. So if you come up to a road block, just click that button and it will route you around it. Otherwise, this APP is the best GPS I've seen.
