  1. Add “Avoid Width Restrictions”

    I’ve got a pretty big car and hate width restrictions when I’m driving through the rat race of London rushing to get to work.
    If you can add “Avoid Width Restrictions” any road with a width restriction that would really help! Thanks !

  2. Add Rest Areas to Categories

    Show rest areas and allow users set notifications for distances between rest areas or services (fuel, restrooms, food.) Driver fatigue is a significant contributor to vehicle accidents and some highways have few services or rest areas.

  3. Can we get Car/Bumper stickers so we can see other Wazers on the road while driving

    When I see other Wazers on the map it is difficult to see them on the road. It would be good to acknowledge each other as this a community project. So some sort of Waze sticker would be good

  4. Action icons on left in CarPlay (US) so driver doesn’t need to reach across

    Put the action icons on the left (in countries where cars are on right of road) when displaying in CarPlay so the driver does not need to reach across to use them. Notifications should appear on right instead of left.

  5. Old vanessa voice(french)

    Please give us the old Vanessa voice(french). The new voices are horrible. I can't use the app with the new voices. They are all horibble. Why would you destroy something great(the voices that were before)?
    Give us the option to reatore the old voices.

  6. 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.

  9. Waze - Plan my day route scheduling

    A great addition to the Waze App would be to have it plan my entire day or something as simple as errands. Start by entering a start time and a list of addresses to visit (e.g. drop-off kids, grocery store, and other errands....getting me back home in time to pick-up the kids at school at the end of the school day), Waze could optimize my route and schedule based on traffic and ETA. It might even choose the most effective route by reordering the destinations/waypoints. Other applications are for small businesses to do route planning to save time and fuel.…

  12. Add estimated battery percentage when arriving at destination (for electric cars)

    Via Google Maps in my electric car (Volvo xc 40) I see an estimated battery percentage at arrival. The app is installed on the car itself, not car play. I would love this functionality in Waze.

  13. Road Condition Rating/Grades

    Showing potholes is a great feature especially in snowy climate. It would also be great to rate the road and conditions. Such as a block feature or an avoidance feature. I traveled 20mph on a road label 50mph due to how terrible the conditions was, it felt like I hit a speed bump every 40 yards. I would label this road a "D", if I could avoid these roads like a less than "C" feature, that would be awesome. User ratings paired with GPS acceleration compared to the speed limit could really help avoid these disastrous neglected road and pick…

  14. Hola, debido a el aumento de precios y que a los conductores les bajaron el pago, toda la comunidad que tenemos contacto en un grupo que usa

    Hola, debido a el aumento de precios y que a los conductores les bajaron el pago, toda la comunidad que tenemos contacto en un grupo que usabamos nos vemos en la necesidad de irnos por nuestra cuenta y desinstalar la app, pues ya no conviene, además de que ya no la recomendaremos, diciendo a las personas que hagamos lo mismo con nuestros conocidos. Sin embargo, si se les paga a los conductores lo justo, conviene más, y hablo como raider, a mi no importa que me cobren 20 o 30 pesos, me conviene, pero a ellos no les conviene. Ojalá…

  15. Wrong way driver alert

    Wrong way driver alert. Alert wazers if they enter a freeway on ramp going in the wrong direction also alert other wazers with a loud audible alarm (much like the Amber alert alarm) that there is a wrong way driver approaching.

  17. Traffic lights option button

    Hello wazers. There are some traffic lights that are fast enough to pass through and some others that are extremely slow (2-3 cars per time). Waze commonly proposes directions through traffic lights (Even when there are other options).
    I think that a “traffic light” option button that characterizes it as slow or fast, would be a good addition in order to accelerate our proposed roots

  18. Place Photos

    To report a Place via the client, the user is required to first take a photo before entering any details.

    This process should be changed as it:

    • discourages Wazers from adding a Place if it is dark/raining or other factors prevent them from taking a satisfactory photo, and;

    • results in ineffective photos (blurry, dark, inappropriate) being added which do not fulfil the intended purpose of assisting other Wazers to identify the Place.

    Making Photos optional when adding a Place, and adding the ability to upload from the Camera Roll/Computer/etc, would improve the Waze map by enabling Wazers to add Places…

  19. COVID-19 Outbreak Tracking

    Provide daily COVID-19 Outbreak Tracking. Your app should display red shaded bubbles over areas with outbreaks, with the bubble size proportional to the outbreak size. For example right now on March 19, 2020, there would be a large shaded red bubble over New York City. This would correspond to the current outbreak in New York city, and advise motorist to avoid this area as a stopover or even as a drive-through. This could help motorists avoid contamination and/or travel delays in the future if there are “containment “ areas. (You could get the data feed from John’s Hopkins or others)
