No need to show the route I have ALREADY travelled, just the part I am going to travel
I got really confused for a bit today when somehow I was looking at where I had ALREADY travelled. There is no need to show the part of the route I already traversed. There is only the need to show where I am going.

To be able to fix a destination by a button " Target GPS " when we arrive at destination?
It would be interesting to be able to fix a destination by a button " Target GPS " when we arrive at the destination with WAZE. In this manner, we could very precisely memorize a point of arrival in the favourites.
What do you think about it?

Addition of a "Probationary License
Bonjour
Serait-il possible d'ajouter une option dans les paramètres de navigation permettant de sélectionner un profil 'Jeune Permis / Permis Probatoire' ?
Une fois activée, l'application ajusterait automatiquement l'affichage des limitations de vitesse et les alertes sonores selon la législation en vigueur. Par exemple, en France, les seuils passeraient de 130 à 110 km/h, de 110 à 100 km/h et de 90 à 80 km/h.
L'idéal serait que cette option soit adaptative : les seuils de réduction de vitesse devraient s'ajuster automatiquement en fonction de la réglementation spécifique de chaque pays (par exemple, des limitations différentes en France, en Italie ou en Espagne pour les novices), afin d'offrir une aide personnalisée et légale partout dans le monde. Cela permettrait aux nouveaux conducteurs de respecter la loi sans confusion et d'améliorer la sécurité routière globale.
English
Could you add a toggle in the navigation settings for a 'Probationary / Novice Driver' profile?
When enabled, the app would automatically adjust speed limit displays and alerts based on local regulations for new drivers. For instance, in France, limits would drop from 130 to 110 km/h, 110 to 100 km/h, and 90 to 80 km/h.
The ideal solution would be for this feature to be adaptive: speed reduction thresholds should automatically adjust based on each country's specific regulations for novice drivers (e.g., different limits in France, Italy, or Spain). This would ensure personalized and legally compliant guidance worldwide, helping new drivers stay compliant with the law and avoid accidental speeding tickets during their probationary period.

Sarebbe possibile aggiungere un'opzione nelle impostazioni di navigazione per selezionare il profilo 'Neopatentato'?Una volta attivata, l'app dovrebbe regolare automaticamente la visualizzazione dei limiti di velocità e gli avvisi acustici in base alle normative vigenti. Ad esempio, in Francia, i limiti passerebbero da 130 a 110 km/h, da 110 a 100 km/h e da 90 a 80 km/h.
L'ideale sarebbe che questa funzione fosse adattiva: le soglie di riduzione della velocità dovrebbero regolarsi automaticamente in base alle normative specifiche di ogni paese per i neopatentati (ad esempio, limiti diversi in Francia, Italia o Spagna), garantendo un'assistenza personalizzata e conforme alla legge in tutto il mondo. Questa funzione aiuterebbe i nuovi conducenti a rispettare la legge senza confusione e a migliorare la sicurezza stradale globale.

Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

time zone temp fix
If it's too difficult to have Waze team fix the time zone issue, how about Waze telling the user the destination crosses a diff time zone and to display a warning that they should manually set the time zone on their phone to the actual destination time zone to prevent confusions/issues. That way, Waze won't adjust when crossing the zone and destination will display ETA correctly for the whole trip. At arrival, another warning could be to remind the user to set his time zone on phone back to "automatic".

auto reroute
Hi Ella and colleagues, I have a waze suggestion. Please ask the Waze engineer to please add an option in the Settings of the App for the end-user: please let me explain first. Waze no longer is asking for re-routing permission - Waze now just dynamically (automatically) re-routes now in the middle of navigating. And I understand why, this is because to minimize distraction. Please ask the Waze developer-engineer to please add an option inside the SETTINGS of the APP to allow the end-user to either: ALLOW automatic (dynamic) re-routing or ALERT user prior to dynamic (automatic) re-routing or to NEVER re-route the end-user during active nav. Many end-users feel they do not want to be auto-rerouted, and on the other hand many end-users do want to be dynamically (auto) rerouted during active nav, and some other end-users want to be ASKED (or alerted first)when a better route is found BEFORE dynamically being re-routed. PLEASE, forward this message to the waze engineer to add a SETTING for this in the SETTINGS of the APP and you will make all 3 types of end-users HAPPY just with this SETTING for RE-ROUTING: ALLOW AUTO REROUTE, ALERT FIRST, or NONE.Please forward this message to the engineer to add this SETTING in the Settings of the App. I am VERY grateful to you, Roman.

Good afternoon, I wanted to suggest streamlining the Waze system. In light of recent truck crashes on bridges, I would enter a figure for the maximum height of all bridges, so that before each trip, the truck driver would have to measure the maximum height and enter the figure into the Waze system, and the system would automatically navigate the driver to the road with the bridge at the appropriate height. This would save on accidents and, God forbid, loss of life.

Support for Bluetooth OBD / EV data
I need support for Bluetooth OBD adapters for electric cars (live data on battery status and consumption, etc.) so that charging planning is also possible with Waze. When planning charging, it would be great if you could give preference to certain providers. As we know, ABRP offers exactly this function, but I would prefer to navigate with Waze in Android Auto and still have my electric car data in the navigation system.

Every time Waze starts, it shows a list of one-time searches instead of saved places for everyday routes. Please make it an option for saved places to be the only thing on startup.

Avoid street : setting
A simple setting that allows us to input streets to avoid, unless it's critical to go down. Often it takes me to a few streets that are very dangerous, or leave you in traffic for 10 minutes.
Introducing this feature will help allow people to; avoid traffic, bad turns, An ex you really, really don't want to see.3 votes -
Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Problem
Waze’s static database cannot display real-time variable speed limits (VSLs) on roads like Israel’s Highway 20 (Ayalon), Switzerland’s A1, Germany’s A3, Austria’s A1, the UK’s M25, the USA’s I-95, Canada’s Highway 401, Australia’s M1, and India’s Delhi expressways. Fixed speed limits (e.g., 120 km/h or 60 km/h) can mislead drivers, risking speeding tickets or accidents, especially on long stretches without repeater signs. Showing no limit confuses users and suggests unedited segments. This issue frustrates Waze communities in the UK, USA, India, Canada, and beyond, demanding a smarter solution.Current Options
No limit: Safest option, avoiding misinformation, but frustrates users expecting guidance and implies segments weren’t edited. A better solution exists.
Maximum limit (e.g., 120 km/h): Risks speeding when actual limits are lower, endangering safety.
Average limit (e.g., 100 km/h): Unreliable due to VSL fluctuations, causing incorrect warnings.
Lowest limit (e.g., 60 km/h): Overly cautious, annoying users with unnecessary alerts.
Solution
Display a country-specific speed limit sign (e.g., Israel’s red circle, USA’s rectangle) in the same UI spot as numeric limits, but with a symbol (e.g., question mark "?", exclamation mark "!", or eye "👀") instead of a number, urging drivers to check roadside VSL signs. In the Waze Map Editor (WME), add a simple, country-specific symbol option for editors to tag VSL segments.Benefits
Safer Roads: Prevents reliance on wrong limits, reducing accidents and fines, aligning with Waze’s safety mission.
Clear Guidance: Familiar signs with a symbol ensure intuitive UI and proactive VSL alerts.
Trusted Map: Shows active editing, boosting confidence in Waze’s community-driven reliability.
Global Impact: Enhances user experience worldwide, from Tel Aviv to Toronto, strengthening Waze’s leadership.
Simple Innovation: Minimal UI/WME changes, echoing Waze’s Israeli-born crowd-sourced vision.
Example
On Israel’s Ayalon Highway or Switzerland’s A1, where limits vary (60–120 km/h), Waze shows a red circle with a "?" to prompt checking electronic signs, ensuring safety and confirming editor input.Call to Action

Avoid low emissions zones button
An avoid low emissions zones button would be helpful for the drivers of pre 2016 non euro 6 diesel vehicles.
I intend to visit Edinburgh and Dundee in the summer both of which have low emissions zones. For me Birmingham and Bristol low emissions zones also need to be avoided.3 votes -

Up Ahead Information
Garmin devices have an "Up Ahead" feature that shows approaching things on the route, like Public Toilets, Petrol Stations, or Supermarkets. This would be EXTREMELY useful on Waze if you needed to call into one of those places.

Mostrar en pantalla de forma anticipada el nombre de la próxima calle que se atravesará cuando se está navegando sin destino prefijado
Si bien todas las calles tienen nombre, durante la navegación no siempre es visible el nombre de la calle en el tramo exacto que uno está atravesando, lo que obliga a mover manualmente el mapa para identificarla. Esto, cuando uno está manejando, resulta incómodo y hasta riesgoso.
Una funcionalidad que tenía Garmin y que sería muy útil incorporar es la siguiente:
mostrar en pantalla, de forma anticipada (por ejemplo, unos 100 metros antes), el nombre de la próxima calle que se va a cruzar, independientemente de si hay que doblar o no. Esto se mostraba en un pequeño rectángulo en una esquina de la pantalla, y permitía confirmar si el cruce que se aproxima es el que uno espera.Esta información, ayudaría mucho a anticipar maniobras con mayor seguridad y confianza, especialmente en ciudades con señalización poco clara.

Draw your own way
I want to be able to draw the exact route I want with my finger — just like on a paper map.
Currently, Waze overrides my preferences by rerouting me through inner-city traffic, risking ZTL fines and unnecessary stress.
Please allow users to freely draw a route and let Waze support us within that path, not override it.
Sometimes the smartest tool is the one that listens — not the one that insists.

Sugestão de melhoria
Sugestão de melhoria – Exibição precisa das distâncias
Olá, equipa Waze!
Parabéns pela excelente aplicação de navegação que uso diariamente.
Gostaria de sugerir uma melhoria importante na forma como as distâncias dos percursos e instruções são apresentadas. Atualmente, quando o Waze propõe múltiplos trajetos, as distâncias surgem arredondadas aos quilómetros inteiros — por exemplo, tanto 48,6 km como 49,4 km aparecem como “49 km”. Esta simplificação pode ocultar diferenças reais de até 800 metros entre as rotas, o que influencia negativamente a escolha mais eficiente.
Além disso, nas instruções de condução, seria muito útil poder visualizar distâncias em metros, principalmente em ambientes urbanos ou quando estamos prestes a virar — onde ver “200 metros” seria muito mais útil do que “0,2 km”.
Sugiro, portanto:
- Exibir distâncias com uma casa decimal (ex: “48,6 km”);
- Permitir visualizar distâncias em metros, pelo menos em trajetos curtos ou aproximações.
Acredito que estas melhorias trariam mais precisão e clareza para todos os utilizadores.
Obrigado pela atenção e pelo trabalho incrível que fazem!
