New road segment for yields
Currently the routing algorithm assigns a penalty where ever a junction is located in the editor. I believe no penalty should be assigned to a junction with a connecting yield segment, as traffic typically isn't slowed down at these junctions. I believe that creating a new yield road type segment would improve routing accuracy. I've seen many URs that could have been prevented if such a segment already existed. A junction with signal lights should not be treated the same as a junction with a yield.

“Reverse Trip” Option
I think it would be a great feature if Waze added a “Reverse Trip” button after completing a drive. Instead of generating a new route back based on Waze’s current suggestions, this feature would guide you back using the exact same route you originally took.
There are times when I discover an easier or preferred route during a drive and would rather return the same way instead of taking a different suggested route. This could be especially useful for short trips where you quickly return to your original starting point.

Lack of Context in Rerouting: Security Risks and User Autonomy
The current Waze algorithm often reroutes users on long-distance trips without providing the underlying reason (e.g., specific accidents, road closures, or incremental traffic). While this "silent optimization" might work for short urban commutes, it represents a significant strategic failure for long-haul navigation for the following reasons:
Safety vs. Efficiency: By prioritizing the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) above all else, the app frequently diverts drivers from well-monitored, high-infrastructure highways to poorly maintained or dangerous secondary roads to save a negligible amount of time. Without knowing why the route was changed, the driver cannot assess if the time-saving is worth the…2 votes -

Suggestions to Improve Waze User Experience
Dear Waze Team,
My name is Fabio Martinez Coello, and I am a Colombian user who relies on your application on a daily basis. I would like to thank you for the great service you provide, which has become an essential tool for navigation.
Based on my daily experience, I would like to share some suggestions that could help improve the application and make it even more user-friendly:
1. Always display the programmed destination address:
It would be very helpful if the selected destination address remains constantly visible. Sometimes, due to typing errors or…2 votes -
Alternativní trasy/ Display distance difference for alternative routes
Poprosím u alternativních tras kromě času zobrazovat i kilometry:
Prakticky by stačila informace +4 min (barvou červenou) a -12 km (barvou zelenou).
jedná se o jasnou a rychlou informací. Jasná informace - pojedu déle, ale kratší trasou než je ta svájící navolená.
moc by mi to pomohlo. Děkuji LiHPlease display the distance difference alongside the time for alternative routes.
A simple indicator like "+4 min" (red) and "-12 km" (green) would provide instant clarity. It would allow drivers to quickly see if an alternative route is longer in time but shorter in distance compared to the current one. This…

Make the new arrow position work for those of us using the map facing North
Waze changed the position of the car to allow for more visibility for people who have the map facing their direction of travel, however they completely forgot about all of us who prefer the map facing North.
Now we are basically using 15% of the screen for navigation, the rest is dead space.
Also - whenever we are facing South we can’t see upcoming turns, forcing us to do potentially dangerous last minute lane changes.
This is a major safety concern and Waze needs to address it immediately!2 votes -
Night-Safe Routing
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a “Night-Safe Routing” option in Waze. This feature would allow users to choose routes that are safer and more comfortable when driving at night.
At night, some roads may be poorly lit, isolated, or less frequently used, which can make drivers feel unsafe or less confident, especially in unfamiliar areas. Current routing primarily focuses on travel time and traffic conditions, but does not account for nighttime safety factors.
By introducing a Night-Safe Routing option, Waze could prioritize routes that are better lit, more populated, and have more consistent traffic flow. This…

Stop intentionally mis-routing
Why, with I search for "costco gasoline" do you intentionally return other gas stations? You sent me to a bad part of a city I am not familiar with to a gas station that WAS NOT COSTCO!!!
Are you being paid for redirects? Why do you do that? Is it possible for you to stop?2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere
Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere. It knows you entered the tunnel and shown you the exit to the, but when you lose gps signal it can’t find you and you can take wrong exits.. also stating each trip should allow you to choose tolls or not..

Directions and Timing for Bicycle and Walking
It would be amazing if Waze could add directions and timing for bicycles and walking. I was flabbergasted to find these features weren’t in the App when I needed walking directions in NYC, New York, and again when I got lost and was looking for directions while cycling in downtown San Antonio, Texas. I’m always hoping and waiting for these features to be added with each update. Please consider adding walking and cycling to the App.

Waze share the drive with a friend.
Share a drives destination with a friend or friend group, where everyone could see others in their navigation map.
And other friends could ether suggest or set a new destination to everyone. This could be acomplished by setting a user level within the group.
Also would be cool to have option to make these groups multiple and enable or disable them.2 votes -
Route
Hi Team,
I’d like to propose a feature suggestion that could improve safety and routing flexibility for many drivers.
Right now, if users want to include a specific street or road segment on the way to a destination, the only workaround is to add it as a stop/waypoint. This creates a “stop” that the driver must manually confirm has been reached before continuing navigation. In real driving scenarios, having to interact with the phone to confirm an intermediate stop especially on busy roads can be unsafe.
What I’m suggesting is a native “Pass Through” or “Via Street” routing option that:…

Keep Navigation Active After Arrival
I would like to suggest a feature that allows users to keep navigation active even after reaching the destination. In many situations, especially when it is difficult to find parking, drivers need to circle the surrounding area. When Waze automatically ends navigation upon arrival, it becomes harder to maintain orientation and understand nearby traffic conditions. Allowing navigation to remain active until the user chooses to stop it would provide better spatial awareness, improve safety, and offer a more flexible experience in real-world scenarios.
