Marking roads as non-allowed transit routes
In Sweden quite a few roads are prohibited from use when it comes to transit routes, usually because they run through densely populated areas and school zones. Using these prohibited routes will get you a fine if caught.

Be able to view a summary list of delays and congestion
Have a menu option to be able to view at a glance the delays and congestion on your route. Whilst it's ok to see there are delays on the "Go" screen you can't easily tell where they are or how they will affect you.

Correct mileage designation.
Please change the designation 'oh point six miles' to the correct 'zero point six miles'. As a math teacher, this 'drives' me crazy.

iPod assess while navigating
waze is an excellent navigation app. I waze is a great navigation app. I even think its better than google maps and motion gpx. The only feature that it is missing is access to your iPod on the iPhone while navigating, like motion gpx has . Please add this feature on.

“Reverse Trip” Option
I think it would be a great feature if Waze added a “Reverse Trip” button after completing a drive. Instead of generating a new route back based on Waze’s current suggestions, this feature would guide you back using the exact same route you originally took.
There are times when I discover an easier or preferred route during a drive and would rather return the same way instead of taking a different suggested route. This could be especially useful for short trips where you quickly return to your original starting point.

Custom route
Hello Waze team,
I would love to see an improved custom route planning feature in Waze.
Right now Waze is excellent for traffic and live navigation, but it is difficult to plan scenic or motorcycle routes with multiple waypoints.
Suggested improvements:
* Ability to add many waypoints/stops in one route
* Circular / round-trip route planning
* Option to “lock” selected roads so Waze does not automatically reroute
* Scenic / curvy roads mode for leisure driving and motorcycles
* Easier drag-and-adjust route editing
Many motorcycle riders and weekend drivers would benefit from this.
Thank you!1 vote -
New 2026 version uses 1.5 km for instructions instead of 1 km
The new Waze version (got it early 2026) uses a distance of 1.5 kilometer instead of 1 kilometer for navigation instructions. It makes no sense to use fractions and it's distracting. Either change back to 1 kilometer or add an option to change this.

Real-time Border Wait Times & Dynamic Rerouting for International Travel
Currently, Waze lacks a dedicated feature for border crossing delays. While traffic is shown, there is no specific information about customs or passport control wait times.
I propose a consumer-facing feature that:
1. Visualizes specific border delays: Show a dedicated "Border Wait" timer on the route bar.Dynamic Checkpoint Comparison: If the main border crossing (e.g., a major highway) is congested, Waze should automatically compare wait times at nearby smaller border crossings and suggest a faster alternative.
Crowdsourced Wait Times: Let users report their specific "Time to Cross" so others behind them get an accurate estimate.
This is especially crucial…

Truck map
Hi Waze. It would be a great idea if you could make maps for Trucks. Bridge height, bridge weight restrictions , length restrictions. Truck stops are not priority but would be nice to have. I use car play in my 40t truck with Waze but I use tom tom too, but I don’t Like TomTom. Sadly I have no choice but to use it 😂

Prioritize travel time vs. always suggesting the express lanes on the highway
Waze always suggests the Express lanes, regardless of which set of lanes (Express or Collector) are moving faster between the next cross-over point. Every time I get on the highway, Waze directs me to the Express lanes. Many times, the collectors are moving faster than the express lanes, so I do not understand why Waze keeps directing to the express lanes. Waze should prioritize travel time and should only suggest the express when the travel time is shorter (i.e. when the express is moving faster than the collectors), and when the express makes sense based on the exit you need…

Highway symbols and lane assist on steering wheel screen (Android Automotive)
Highway symbols for state/province highways and interstates, as well as lane assist, should be visible on the steering wheel screen in Android Automotive (Polestar, Volvo, etc.) during navigation, just as they are on Google Maps, for better visual cues for drivers.

Alternating Traffic
Could you create an icon to report alternating traffic during roadworks, using traffic lights?
Because everyone uses your icon for traffic lights that are out of order, even though that hardly ever happens...
Ideally, you should create a new, more descriptive one, as it would be used all the time.1 vote -
roadworks reporting
Can you tell me why, when there are roadworks, Waze suggests I report the congested side, including the middle lane, when there are only two lanes... ?
