  1. Critical alerts only

    Many users choose to turn off voice navigation in Waze because the alerts can be frequent and distracting—especially on familiar or long drives where there’s no need to hear every turn, lane change, or minor update.

    The problem is that once voice guidance is disabled, it becomes easy to miss a critical turn. Sometimes missing a turn has little impact, but in other cases it can extend the trip by 10, 20, or even 30 minutes.

    The proposed solution is to introduce a new alert mode: “Critical Alerts Only.”

    In this mode, Waze would not provide voice instructions for every…

  2. התראות קריטיות במסלול

    כיום הרבה משתמשים מכבים את ההנחיות הקוליות ב-Waze, משום שהן עלולות להיות תכופות ומציקות — במיוחד בנסיעות מוכרות או ארוכות, שבהן אין צורך לשמוע כל פנייה, שינוי נתיב או עדכון קטן.

    הבעיה היא שכאשר ההנחיות הקוליות כבויות, קל לפספס פנייה קריטית. לפעמים פספוס כזה לא משנה כמעט כלום, אבל לפעמים הוא עלול להאריך את המסלול ב-10, 20 או אפילו 30 דקות.

    ההצעה היא להוסיף מצב התראות חדש: “התראות קריטיות בלבד”.

    במצב הזה Waze לא תתריע קולית על כל פנייה, אלא רק כאשר אי־ביצוע ההנחיה הקרובה צפוי לגרום לעיכוב משמעותי במסלול.

    לדוגמה:
    אם פספוס הפנייה הקרובה יאריך את המסלול בדקה —…

  3. construction zone stays until construction finishes option

    add start/end date option for long-term construction zones

    Many road construction and lane reduction projects remain active for days or weeks, but Waze temporary reports disappear after only a few hours.

    This creates a major issue because users must repeatedly re-report the same construction zone every day, and once the alert disappears Waze begins routing traffic directly through that delayed area again.

    Example: if a city construction sign clearly states lane closure or road work for 30 days, users should be able to submit a construction report with an optional expiration date or duration.

    Suggested improvement:

    Allow users or map…

  5. Hi Police Officer here, I like seeing people posting officer locations

    Hi, police officer here. I like seeing people posting officer locations. It encourages people to slow down. It's beneficial in high-traffic/complaint areas. This results in fewer crashes and fewer complaints. With that in mind, could an alert or notification be implemented that notifies users/drivers of an approaching speed limit change and when it changes? I know the speed limit indicator changes, perhaps something a little more flashy.

  6. Background Safety & Enforcement Alerts

    Add an opt-in "Background Mode" that alerts drivers to speed cameras, red-light cameras, and police presence even when the app isn't being used for navigation.
    This would provide "passive protection" for daily commutes where a driver knows the route but still wants to be notified of real-time road hazards. To save battery, the feature could automatically activate only when the phone detects it is connected to a vehicle's Bluetooth.

  7. Alerter si destination est fermée (si magasin, ou administration)

    Alerter si la destination est fermée (si magasin, ou administration), en se basant des horaires d'ouverture du magasin ou de l'administration sur google.
    Autrement dit, si je mets l'adresse du service des impôts dimanche matin, eh ben je reçois une petite notif ou alerte pour me dire que votre destination semble être fermée aujourd'hui.
    § Autre exemple: je tape l'adresse du centre médical dentaire de ma ville à 19h30, je reçois de la même façon une alerte pour me prévenir que le centre est fermé à cette heure-ci.
    Bien sur en se basant sur les horaires communiqués sur google.

  8. Radar notifications on smartwatcheS

    Assunto: Sugestão de funcionalidade: Alertas de radar em smartwatches

    Olá equipe do Waze,

    Sou um usuário frequente do Waze e realmente aprecio os recursos do aplicativo, especialmente a navegação e os alertas em tempo real durante a condução.

    Gostaria de sugerir uma nova funcionalidade que pode melhorar significativamente a segurança e a praticidade: uma melhor integração entre o Waze e smartwatches em geral.

    Ideia da funcionalidade:
    Durante a navegação, alertas importantes — especialmente alertas de radares — poderiam ser enviados diretamente para o smartwatch como notificações com vibração (haptic), sem que o motorista precise olhar para o celular.

    Por que…

  9. Zone scolaire

    Je vois qu'il y a des zones scolaires indiqué sur des routes à Ottawa, comment pouvons-nous signaler pour ajouter sur les routes côté Gatineau QC et ailleurs dans la province? Souvent ces zones sont en vigueur 10 mois de l'année et seulement entre 7:00 et 17:00. Ça rendrait ces zones plus sécuritaire (au cas où le conducteur a manqué la signalisation / pancarte) et du coup éviterait aussi de recevoir un constat d'infraction routier.

  11. Allow speedometer/magnify/alerts button to be placed on either side

    Screens are getting bigger. Have an option to put the alert buttons on the side closest to the driver. This may help with people with short arms and also will help keep eyes on the road!

  13. Alert

    Alerts are often very close to the item and less useful than they could be.

    I got a red light ticket and the alert for the red light camera only appeared as I went through the intersection.

    Obviously it's my responsibility to drive the car, but it would be helpful to get an alert about 15-20 seconds before I approach whatever the item is.

    For police or emergency vehicles it should be more like 1 minute.

    And finally - if we're under the speed limit - then just show the Alert.

    But if we're over the speed limit then show…

  14. Customise alert filtering

    I am requesting for more user customisation on what alerts come through

    I find the alerts useful however they can get very annoying when listening to music.

    The 3 options you currently get are: all, alerts only, silence.

    It would be great if I could select alerts for just speed cameras, police etc leaving out speeding & pothole alerts (example)

  15. Alerta de crianças no carro

    Em 19/03/26 mais uma triste notícia de bebê que morreu por ter sido esquecido no carro no Brasil
    Notícias como essa incomodam.
    Pensei em uma solução:
    Acoplar na configuração do waze a funcionalidade (está com criança?, semelhante ao da placa pra rodizio).
    Ao chegar no local o wase dizer: você chegou ao seu destino, retire a criança do carro.

  18. Hazard Junction

    It would be great to report junctions that have frequent accidents due to being hazardous. For example, some junctions on can be misleading and are appear out of almost nowhere. Yes, drivers need to be alert to the road conditions though maps can highlight frequently reported accident areas. We have a junction near where we live which is not obvious that is crosses another (60mph)road until you’re almost on it. There’s been a number of accidents and fatalities here that this feature could help to reduce.

  19. Add Humber bridge status update

    To add a notification / alert if you are crossing the Humber bridge to update on wind conditions as some vehicles ( vulnerable vehicles and lorry’s) are not allowed to cross when the wind conditions are too high and other then checking the website or the electronic signs that barely work you have no idea until you have already joined the bridge.

  20. Annuler la signalisation d'un trafic de circulation erroné ou plus actuel

    On peut signaler un trafic ralenti voir à l'arrêt mais l'inverse devrait pouvoir être fait aussi c'est a dire que lorsque l'inverse arrive qu'un endroit signalé avec un trafic ralenti et que l'on se rend compte que finalement c'est fluide on devrait pouvoir annulé la mauvaise information, ainsi prévenir les futurs usager qui reprendront cette route, et surtout mentionner à l'algorithme que la route et dorénavant fluide, ce qui permettra à l'algorithme d'indiquer maintenant que l'on peut emprunter cet itinéraire.
