Dynamic Green Corridors: Infrastructure-Integrated Predictive Routing for Emergency Vehicles
This system connects Waze directly to a city’s emergency dispatch and traffic light grid using a secure, locked-down connection. When an ambulance or fire truck is dispatched, Waze calculates its route and instantly talks to the city's traffic systems to automatically change upcoming traffic lights to green. At the same time, Waze's engine predicts traffic bottlenecks 60 to 90 seconds ahead of the emergency vehicle and triggers a "flushing mode." This gives everyday drivers a clear, early countdown and lane instructions right on their screens, safely moving everyone out of the way and clearing gridlock before the emergency vehicle even…

Scaling Waze via Infrastructure Integration and Predictive Routing
Dear Waze Executive Team,
I joined the Waze community recently, and as a business owner, engineer, AI professional, and cybersecurity specialist, I immediately recognized the immense strategic value of your crowdsourced data model. Waze has successfully gamified and decentralized navigation; however, the next leap in market dominance lies in transforming Waze from a consumer mapping application into a critical pillar of B2G and smart-city infrastructure.
I have developed a high-level product framework for a premium or enterprise-tier ecosystem that I call "Dynamic Green Corridors." This feature leverages Waze’s predictive routing engine to interface directly with municipal traffic management centers, creating…

Driving to work? Let's GO NOW!
When Waze asks "driving to work?" and I tap Go, Waze should just go directly to navigation per my preset preferences - instead of asking me two more times, and having me tap again and again in order to get going!

Зміна часу голосового сповіщення про повороти та зміну полоси
After the latest app update, the voice notifications for upcoming turns or lane changes started being announced much earlier than in the previous version.
In particular, the first turn notifications now begin as far as 1.5 kilometers before the actual turn, even on rural roads, which is inappropriate.
Previously, the notifications worked correctly and were announced shortly before the required turn or lane change (approximately 50 meters in urban areas), which allowed the driver to rely on voice guidance without being distracted by constantly checking the navigation screen.
The current change in notification distances creates a traffic safety risk, especially…1 vote -

Give at least one non toll option.
When searching for new routes, always give at least one option that is not toll related. I always have to run a search with tolls on, and another search with tolls off. Almost always when tolls are on, it gives 3 differnt routes all containing tolls. Then when I run with tolls off, the routes are within a minute or two of the toll roads. However sometimes the toll road will be 20 to 30 minutes faster. Requiring at least one given route be non toll, would make checking the speed differnece so much easier and faster.

Colombian address structure
In Colombia, addresses are structured by first indicating the street where the door is located, followed by the number of the intersecting street with the symbol #, and finally the house number. For example, Calle 67 #39-44: the door is on Calle 67, the nearest intersection is Carrera 39, and 44 corresponds to the house number. Therefore, it is incorrect that in Waze addresses begin with the house number, as shown below: 44 Calle 67 #39-44

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…

Exploration mode
On my motorcycle I find myself changing settings to avoid highways and tolls. It would be nice to have a button for this with a reminder to return to normal mode after. I sometimes forget to change back and then have long commute to the next place.

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... ?

bad weather
Hello,
In bad weather (rain, fog, etc.), could you please avoid only signalling one side of the road? I’ve never seen rain falling on just one side of the road.
