Many of us rely almost entirely on audio guidance instead of the visual map, because watching the screen or tracking small map details while driving can be overwhelming or distracting. However, the current voice directions often announce turns or exits too close to the actual point of action, which makes it stressful to react safely — especially in unfamiliar areas or during highway driving.

It would be a huge help if Waze offered an “Accessibility Voice Mode” or “Extended Voice Guidance” that:

Announces upcoming exits, turns, and merges earlier (e.g., “In one mile, take Exit 12 toward Croton-on-Hudson”)

Repeats cues more than once

Optionally provides distance reminders (“In half a mile, prepare to exit”)

This would make Waze significantly more accessible and safer not just for ADHD drivers, but also for neurodivergent users, elderly drivers, and anyone who processes spatial information differently.
