Allow user to adjust the speed of audio/TTS annoucements (0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x)
Spotify and YouTube allow users to control the speed of audios or videos.
You can play audios or videos at speeds of 0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x and 3x.
I suggest the same should apply to Waze.
Audio or TTS announcements could be faster or slower depending on the user's preferences.

Navigation start option
I would like to see a feature added to only begin verbal navigation once you have driven a certain distance from your home or work - say 1 to 2 miles or at least the first few turns that get you out of your neighborhood or where you work.

Bicycle roof racks warning
Add a warning when approaching places such as your home garage to avoid crashing bicycles on roof rack.
The problem is when you are transporting your bikes on your roof rack you sometimes forget they are there.
Maybe Waze users could add places where there is height limitations.

Line guidance / colour of the arrows
Hello,
Would it be possible to change the colors of the arrows? In red the routes that should not be taken, in green those that should be taken?
On my phone, the lanes to take appear in dark white and those not to be taken in light gray.
When you need this functionality, it's usually in an unfamiliar place and you have to concentrate more on the road.
A quick glance cannot differentiate white from gray.Thank you

Separate toggles for Toll Bridges and Express Lanes
Please add an option to avoid Express Lanes while still using Toll Bridges.
The HOV lanes in my area are being converted to Express Lanes that charge excessive tolls (closing in on $10) to use them. I refuse to drive in them. However, it's necessary for me to cross toll bridges to get to work (avoiding them will add an hour to my commute). If I tell Waze to avoid tolls, I avoid the Express Lanes AND the Toll Bridges, which is terrible.
Separating the 'Toll' toggle into 'Toll Bridges' and 'Express Lanes' would be very helpful.11 votes -
Australian voice with street guidance
English and US voices are fine, but I think having an Aussie telling me where to go (!) Would be great.

Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.
Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because I…

Turn off labels of streetnames while navigating
Sometimes long streetnames overlap that much of the map that large parts of the maps or even (future) instructions are not visible anymore on the map.
I would like to see an option to disable the streetname flags on the map while navigating.
An example of what I mean can be found in this URL:

highlight traffic jams
Better highlight of traffic jams on the map. AT the moment, it seems impossible to see an upcoming jam when Waze is following a route. The route track overlays the jam indication of the maps and the whole thing is not very visible. Make it clearer by making introducing stripes, checkerboards or whatever.

Indicate toll roads on main navigation screen
Because a tiny icon in the route summary doesn't cut it and is often missed!
Also ability to show (in route summary) the cost and payment methods (cash, card, NFC, NPR, etc) of the toll road so you can plan ahead.

next service station - distance/time
On a long drive it'd be handy to be able to see:-
"Service station 1 - 3miles/5mins"
"Service station 2 - 45miles/38minutes"11 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

Offer routes that avoid speed bumps
My very low ride height requires me to avoid speed bumps on roads. I need an app that will navigate me in routes that avoid these. Can Waze incorporate such an idea?
