Permanent “End of Pavement” Alert
In several regions, especially on state highways and rural roads, there is an abrupt transition in pavement—for example, the end of the asphalted section and the beginning of a dirt or basalt-stone road. These sudden surface changes can catch drivers by surprise, particularly during low-visibility hours, adverse weather conditions, or on higher-speed roads.
Technical and Road Safety Justification:
Changes in pavement type can pose significant risks to drivers, such as:
Rear-end collisions, when the vehicle ahead suddenly slows upon noticing the change in pavement;
Loss of control and roadway departures, due to loose gravel, irregularities, or reduced traction on dirt or basalt surfaces;Increased braking distance, especially when transitioning from asphalt to a more unstable surface.
A similar situation is already recognized by road authorities, and several highways physically signpost “End of Pavement.” The alert would follow the same usability logic and importance as the current “Sharp Curve,” “Complex Intersection,” and other warnings already implemented in the app.Implementation Proposal:
Create a new type of permanent alert that allows editors to map points where the following occurs:
End of asphalt pavement, or
Transition to gravel/basalt stones/compact dirt.This alert would be displayed to drivers with adequate advance notice, allowing for planned speed reduction and improved operational safety, aligning with good practices in road signage and accident prevention.

Keep Navigation Active After Arrival
I would like to suggest a feature that allows users to keep navigation active even after reaching the destination. In many situations, especially when it is difficult to find parking, drivers need to circle the surrounding area. When Waze automatically ends navigation upon arrival, it becomes harder to maintain orientation and understand nearby traffic conditions. Allowing navigation to remain active until the user chooses to stop it would provide better spatial awareness, improve safety, and offer a more flexible experience in real-world scenarios.

Hello, my name is Junior, I'm a motorcyclist in Itabaiana, Sergipe, Brazil. Here in Brazil, we have many trucks and we have difficulty navigating our roads. We need Waze to have a version for trucks; it would certainly be a huge success worldwide.

I use Waze as a taxi driver and I would love to have a feature that allows me to import full address suggestions with a single tap, instead of having to type the entire address manually. Other apps offer a quick-select button for this. Such a feature would save a lot of time.

Please don't "double dare" me about whether I want to navigate or not.
A dialog pops when I get in the car - "Driving Home?". I click it, just navigate. Don't ask me to confirm it. Same with when I search for an address and select it. Just go.

Add avoid railroad crossings toggle
Waze already lets us avoid tolls, ferries, highways, and other obstacles when rerouting. It should also let us avoid railroad crossings. Sometimes a train is passing and traffic comes to a complete stop, but there’s no quick way to reroute around all crossings.

Letting the driver know which lane (right or left) is used to make U-turn
when need to make a U-turn, sometimes it could be on the left side of the road or even on the right.
it would be less chaotic and sudden change of lanes if the driver knows how/where the U-turn will take place, especially if there were were many lanes, then need to be prepared early to be on the U-turn lane.
it could be make the U-turn on the right lane, where there is a specific lane for U-turn.
or even it could be taking the traffic light on or below the flyover.1 vote -

Nahtlose Übergänge: Routen-Form-Punkte & flexible Autobahn/Landstraßen-Priorisierung
Feature-Vorschlag: Routen-Form-Punkte & Nahtloser Straßenwechsel
Viele Nutzer wünschen sich eine einfache Möglichkeit, bestimmte Streckenabschnitte (z. B. bevorzugte Landstraßen oder eine bestimmte Autobahnauffahrt) in die Routenplanung einzubeziehen, ohne dazu komplizierte Zwischenziele setzen zu müssen. Aktuell führt die strikte Orientierung an der „optimalen“ Route in ländlichen Gebieten oder an komplexen Autobahnzugängen oft zu unnötigen Abbiegungen, Schleifen oder unnatürlichen Umwegen.
Ich schlage zwei Funktionen vor, die dieses Problem effizient lösen würden:
- Routen-Form-Punkte (Route Shaping Points)
Leicht platzierbare Punkte, die als weiche Präferenzen dienen. Sie formen den Verlauf der Route, ohne tiefe Eingriffe oder starre Zwischenstopps.
Eigenschaften:
Priorität einstellbar (niedrig/mittel/hoch)
Einflussradius wählbar
Flexibel: Route bleibt dynamisch, Live-Verkehr wird weiterhin berücksichtigt
Schnell und intuitiv in der Karte setzbar
Nutzen:
Mehr Kontrolle über bevorzugte Straßen, ohne die Flexibilität des Routings zu verlieren.
- Nahtloser Autobahn/Landstraßen-Modus
Ein konfigurierbarer Modus, der intelligent entscheidet, wann ein Wechsel zwischen Autobahn und Landstraße sinnvoll ist – um unnötige Abbiegungen oder komplizierte Ortsdurchfahrten zu vermeiden.
Optionen:
Aktivierbar global oder pro Route
Modi wie „Komfort“, „Präzise“ oder „Sparsam“
Schwellenwerte für Zeitersparnis und Umwege
Optional auch Sprachbefehle
Nutzen:
Natürlichere, flüssigere Routings ohne starre Vorgaben. Ideal bei komplexen Auffahrten oder gemischten Strecken.
Warum Waze das implementieren sollte
Deutlich bessere Benutzerkontrolle ohne Verlust der Echtzeit-Flexibilität
Weniger Frust durch unnötige Abbiegungen und künstliche Umwege
Starker Mehrwert gegenüber anderen Navigations-Apps
Technisch umsetzbar, da moderne Routing-Engines bereits multiple Präferenzen verarbeiten können
Englsih:
A suggestion for Waze:
Add route-shaping points (also called via points or form points) so users can manually adjust the route path without breaking navigation. Along with that, include an option that lets the app switch seamlessly between local roads and highways whenever it’s the most direct flow, instead of forcing unnecessary turns, detours, or complicated reroutes.The idea is to give users more precise control over how the route should run while still keeping all traffic-based optimizations active. This would avoid situations where Waze tries to bypass a direct connection just because of how it categorizes certain road types. With shaping points and smoother road-type transitions, users could prevent inefficient maneuvers and make the route match real driving logic more naturally.
