  1. 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.

  2. 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.
    Thanks

  3. 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

  7. 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.

  9. 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…

  10. 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:

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

  18. 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"

    Currently not planned  ·  AdminTrina (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

    Hey, 


    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!

  19. 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".

  20. Allow us to make a user-imposed max speed limit

    In countries like Australia, where Learner or P-Plate drivers are restricted to speed limits such as 90km/h or 100km/h regardless of the posted speed, having the option in apps (like Waze) to set a custom speed limit for their driving profile would be incredibly useful.

    This feature could allow users to input their maximum allowable or planned driving speed, which the app could then use to calculate more accurate estimated times of arrival (ETAs) for trips. It could also help improve route recommendations by prioritising paths that are more suited to their speed restrictions (e.g., avoiding motorways if the speed…
