Faster warnings emergency vehicles
Alerting emergency services faster. Here in the Netherlands, this is done by Haas Alert. There's a 15-second delay between the notification and the next one. With other apps, it's every second.Then you can much better estimate where the ambulance or other emergency service is. Currently, it's too late in most cases. It could be faster, though, because other apps are much faster.

Request to Strengthen and Actively Develop Waze for the Indian Market
Am writing to express a strong interest and concern regarding the current state of the Waze application in India. While Waze is technically available for download, its functionality and effectiveness in India are far from the experience offered in other countries such as the UAE, the United States, and several European regions, where the app performs exceptionally well.
Having personally used Waze in countries like the UAE, I can confidently say that it delivers superior real-time navigation, community-driven traffic updates, and smarter routing when compared to other navigation platforms. Unfortunately, in India, the app does not currently operate at the…

Notify when rest rooms at rest stops are closed
Driving today 2 rest stops had the bathrooms closed for construction. One had a sign on the highway. One did not. If Wazers could share that information, it would save getting off and on the highway.

Incorecct use of waze
People are starting to tag speed cameras daily in areas where no speed cameras are. This is so they can just try control traffic for their own personal preference. There should be a function to report suspicious use of the app and with enough mis uses they get blocked for a period as warning than blocked long term if they continue.

I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account.
I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account for closed/restricted roads or HOV/toll preferences correctly, voice directions are inconsistent, and certain app features or settings fail to respond. Even after basic troubleshooting (restart app/device, check permissions), the issues persist. Improvements in these areas would make Waze more reliable and user-friendly.

Toll Roads - Variable Toll Avoidance
Summary: An additional check box in navigation in settings, that turns off variable tolls only leaving the Tolls that don't change prices.
I'm surrounded by Toll roads in DFW, but they have these awful Toll roads that change to be like 20$ on Friday's after work. basically taking advantage of busy times to squeeze money out of us. I don't mind using the toll roads that I know the price of, the ones' with fixed pricing. But these drive me up a wall, so I usually end up setting it to show tolls and then if I see the toll…

Better lane guidance
I like the idea of lane guidance but I would like it if it says stay in this or that lane instead of saying continue straight with arrows pointing up just like what Apple Maps does for example so that way people aren’t cutting across lanes of traffic which I see all the time and that includes turning left or right onto an intersection wether it has a traffic light or not I noticed Apple Maps for example says stay in the middle or left or right lane I would really like it if waze does what Apple Maps does…

Adjustable daytime/nighttime mode setting
So currently the app may not actually switch from daytime mode to nitetime mode with apples default dusk/dawn settings, however an options to choose how long before sunset or after dawn the app switched to/from daylight mode would be good. As an example the light controls on my Hive lamps and bulbs allow me to set them to come on/go off up to an hour before/after sunset or sunrise.

Latest Waze app versions on Android make car position and route useless
Dear support,
For a while the split screen in Android is not the best way to use Waze. The location and route are hidden.
I have been using Android Head-Unit since 2021 and the best application for navigation was Waze for some time, till sometime last year when an update broke the rendering with notifications and now completely put my car position and route outside the display. I usually use split-screen as the display is shared between Waze and another application.
Previously (last year), the car position and route was hidden by messages, but after canceling the message, I was…

Stop button
Can’t always get out of Waze. Sometimes have to turn my phone off and then back on to properly exit the program. It’s a a pain and I can be walking around for days without Waze working in the background long after I’ve arrived at my destination.
