Improve spoken voice prompts speed
I often find that when driving at speeds faster than 50mph and approaching roundabouts(slowing down of course) off slip roads from dual carriageways/ Motorways often the voice prompts are to slow in mentioning in what turn I need resulting in me needing to go around the roundabout twice to understand the given direction or as the case in the last few days actually being told which turn whilst on the roundabout going past the turn I needed!!
Please look into this as my Garmin unit still gets used a lot because of this problem making it sometimes unsafe to consider Waze when driving in Kent along the M2/M20.

Make the Interstate Highways Stand out more with a Different Color
Sometimes it's difficult to get your bearings on where exactly you are on the Waze Map. It would help, I believe, if you made the Interstate Highways Stand out more prominently perhaps with a different color so as you can see the main arteries of travel to better base yourself and understand very quickly where exactly you are on the map!

Have client present auto-off if removed from charging
I sometimes make frequent stops during a trip, and it is an annoyance to have to start and stop the client so that it doesn't give false heavy traffic reports. If I am in the car, I always have the phone on a charger. if the client senses that the phone is no longer charging, have a pop-up box ask if the application should be turned off.

Apple Carplay HUD Integration Idrive 7
I am writing to formally request the implementation of Head-Up Display (HUD) turn-by-turn navigation support for the Waze iOS app via Apple CarPlay.
I currently drive a 2019 BMW 320d (G20) running iDrive 7. While Apple Maps seamlessly pushes navigation data, street names, and directional arrows directly to my windshield's HUD, Waze remains completely incompatible with this safety feature on iOS.
I am aware that Apple's CarPlay framework has included the necessary APIs for secondary displays for quite some time, and I know that Waze via Android Auto already projects to the HUD on iDrive 7. Furthermore, while the recent version 5.4 update brought instrument cluster support to newer iDrive 8 vehicles, it entirely bypassed both HUD integration and widespread systems like iDrive 7.
Having navigation prompts on the HUD is a critical safety feature that keeps drivers' eyes on the road. Currently, I am forced to run Apple Maps for the HUD visuals while keeping Waze running in the background for hazard alerts.
Please escalate this to your iOS development and product management teams. The BMW community relies heavily on Waze, and closing this feature gap between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay would vastly improve the driving experience.

searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route
Hi Waze Team, I’d like to propose a feature: when searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route, Waze should first display the ones that are directly on my route and on the same side of the road I'm driving on, leaving the ones off-route for the end of the list. It would be much more practical. The goal is to prioritize places that don't require making detours or U-turns, showing businesses located right on the shoulder/side of the road first, and placing options that involve crossing the avenue or detouring at the bottom of the list.

Get Joe Arden to do the voice narration for navigation.
I am a member of Joe's social media and he said in front of a couple hundred people on a live that he would love to do the live narration for your platform he has a huge following and is incredible and he would probably bring all the users to Waze to hear him tell them what to do on the road.

In-app segment appearance for Unpaved / Pedestrian segments
As of now, different segment types almost all look identical in Waze. Offroad / unmaintained already have has its own look, so it would seem logical to get a visual differentiation for pedestrian segments and unpaved roads.
- Unpaved roads could get a "speckled" or '"hashed" look (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46149703-show-unpaved-roads-differently-in-app).
- Pedestrian segments could look just like on the live map.

Road closures
To have the option to post road closures in either direction. For example if heading north bound and see a road closure southbound or if stationary to be able to post road closures, instead of only having option to post about road closures depending on what the gps says what direction it thinks I’m traveling

Show route shields in the current road name bubble (bottom of screen) during navigation instead of plain text route numbers
Currently in Waze, the current road name displayed at the bottom of the screen during navigation only shows plain text (e.g. “M1 - Monash Fwy”) without the road shield symbol while route shields already appear in other parts of Waze (map and directions), but not in the current road bubble, creating inconsistency.
This suggestion is to display the route number as a proper shield symbol within the current road name bubble, instead of it being in plain text with a hyphen next to it. This will help reduce the clutter in the current street name and allows more room for more text.
To fix this please display the route shield icon inline with the current road name. For example, instead of "M1 - Monash Fwy", show "🛡️(M1 shield symbol) Monash Fwy" only where a valid shield exists and maintain readability at all zoom levels and screen sizes.

Proactive Fuel Station Suggestion
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a feature that proactively recommends nearby gas stations after the user has traveled a certain distance, which can be set by the user.
During long trips, drivers may not always keep track of their fuel level or may forget to refuel in time. This can lead to inconvenient or even risky situations, especially when traveling through areas with limited fuel station availability.
By allowing users to define a distance threshold (e.g., after driving X kilometers), Waze could automatically suggest the nearest gas stations along the route. This would give drivers more control over their journey and help them avoid running out of fuel.
Such a feature would enhance trip planning, improve convenience, and contribute to a more reliable driving experience, particularly on long-distance routes.

level 4 & 6 mood
Bonjour Reader,
Could you add the mood of the editor in levels 4 and 6 in WME to the client Waze for different visiblity on live map because they are the best.
An editor can choose differents moods editor when he wants not just the dinosaur for levels 5.
Tanks.Bonjour Lecteur,
Serait-il possible d'ajouter les humeurs d'éditeur pour les niveaux 4 et 6 du WME dans l'application Waze, afin d'avoir une visibilité distincte sur la Live Map car ce sont les meilleurs. Un éditeur pourrait ainsi choisir différentes humeurs quand il le souhaite, au lieu d'avoir seulement le dinosaure pour le niveau 5.
Merci.Boungiorno Lettore,
Sarebbe possibile aggiungere gli umori degli editor di livello 4 e 6 del WME nell'app Waze, per avere una visibilità diversa sulla Live Map dato che sono i migliori. Un editor potrebbe così scegliere diversi umori quando vuole, invece di avere solo il dinosauro per il livello 5.
