Change the "watch out" alert.
I think it would be beneficial to change the way Waze gives alerts. The automated voice says "Watch out" and it's for a vehicle on the shoulder like 2 miles a head of you, or for a cop or something in the middle of the freeway. When Waze alerts about these issues, it always makes my heart drop. Imagine you are on the rode at night and your passenger, says "WATCH OUT" very loud, it would frighten anyone, and the last person you want to be scared is the driver. Maybe something less urgent, for non urgent alerts, like "alert"…

"Avoid" option for single track roads with passing places
When travelling in Devon, Cornwall or anywhere where there is a lot of unspoiled countryside, I suggest Waze make available an option in the Navigation Settings to "AVOID" Single Track Roads With Passing Places.

S-Turn penalties
In case of traffic even light, some ways become impossible to cross, mainly ave. with more than 3 or 4 lanes.
Proposal to include a S-Turn routing penalties in case of traffic in the crossing street.
This will avoid routing in ways with less than 200m (safe length for lane change is S-Turn even with traffic).

Treat roads with RTC as routable pedestrian path
Right now, when trying to route to a destination on a closed road, it's pretty much like the road no longer exists and Waze will route to the nearest open road.
Sometimes, this means that users will be routed somewhere completely different, like to the middle of a highway, to the other side of a raildroad track into a completely different neighbourhood, etc.
Segments with RTCs on them should be treated as a routable pedestrian path: route the driver to the closest entry point.

Stop automatically rerouting to Waze's preferred route
Your selected route should be "sticky" or require permission to change.
Waze is great, we all know that. But there is one issue that is almost service-breaking. When I select an alternate route, as opposed to waze's preferred route, if I make one minor change (such as backing out to the left when Waze expected me to go right), Waze will put me back on its preferred route.
This happens every time. More than once Waze has rerouted me onto the Interstate in rush hour even though I had explicitly chose a different route 10 seconds earlier. There is no…

Affichage nom des rues : très gênant !!!
Bonjour,
J'utilise la dernière version Androïd disponible (4.24.0.2), et je suis souvent gêné par les très (trop) nombreuses bulles indiquant le nom des rues sur mon trajet.
Cela masque fréquemment des intersections, et n'apporte aucune d'aide à la navigation.Puis-je les désactiver ? Comment ?
Merci

Carpool
It would be great to be able to tell the app that we are a carpool and get adjusted travel time predictions and routes maximizing use of HOV lanes when beneficial

Expire events option
Give a general or category specific option to delete/expire events. e.g. most crashes/accidents are cleared in 30 minutes or less, yet the event lingers in Waze for 2 hours or more. So let the user chose how old an event will be displayed.

When you driving on a average speed zone
When you driving on a average speed zone than your left green panel what is showing the distance from average speed zone should show the speed too and the panel should change to red if the speed is more than the allowed average speed Also it should check the speed between one camera to the second one and not just from the first and last camera

Different map colors
Please bring back the map colors. I'm tired of looking at gray and blue.
40 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!

Color code road hazard and police reports etc to show how long ago they were reported
Instead of having to click on the police icon to see how long ago it was reported color code the icons.
Green = reported within last 10 minutes
Yellow = reported within last 10-20 minutes
Red = reported over 20 minutes ago40 votes -
Route stops editing
The existing ability to “add stop” is great but, if this is done in error, there is no way to edit the list of stops or re-arrange the list without cancelling the drive and re-doing it. Which in affect, messes with the drive history which I use to log my business mileage.
Please add the ability to edit your drive and stops: add a stop, edit a stop, rearrange stops, delete a stop.
Thanks

Make alternative routes tappable directly on the map like GMaps.
Hoping for tappable alternative routes on the map, which also shows time difference from the suggested route. This was a feature I liked a lot in GMaps.

Make changes to the suggested route by touching the route I want on the map.
Sometimes I want to make a specific change to the route by touching the map. For example; if I touch and hold a place on the map to signal that I want to go via this road instead of the suggested road, but still remain within the general route chosen.

International Land Border Wait Time Predictions
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature enhancement that could significantly improve the accuracy of ETA predictions for routes involving international land borders, such as those between the USA and Canada or the USA and Mexico.
Current Situation:
At present, it appears that Waze calculates ETA for routes involving international land borders based on general traffic data. This approach treats the border crossing as a regular segment of the journey, comparing travel times between points A and B without considering the unique delays associated with border crossings.Proposed Enhancement:
To provide more accurate ETAs and better routing…38 votes
