Wildlife
Within the hazards section there should be a report button for wildlife helping warn motorists to remain vigilant, which when reported also sends an alert to the respective wildlife protection agency in that region to send a dispatch to prevent the animal from causing an accident and becoming injured. This would be extremely useful in Australia as we have an abundance of wildlife that resides near our roads .

Electric car planning with chargers and battery info
I would like to use Waze like ABRP. For me Waze is the best GPS software to drive my car with. But nowadays I have an electric car and need to plan my trip with the battery level and consumption and the available electric chargers on my way. So I would like to see WAZE able to plan my route, adding to it the needed chargers to reach the destination, for example knowing the initial battery status, the consumption of the car it will be easy to understand when to charge and can add any of the available chargers to the route.

Improve usability for EV drivers
Please add more EV friendly information. Have no option to choose EV as fuel type and doesn't show charging stations. Since buying my car, I've actually found Google Maps a far better option but do miss the community reporting of Waze as its not as good in Google Maps

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

Police (Median)
We need a “Police (Median)” alert that warns traffic in both directions on an interstate. Police (hidden) and Police (other side) don't always apply. This alert would warn traffic in both directions of the interstate or divided highway, since most police run front and rear radars simultaneously.

Truck
Ok, so 6+ years ago it was in the too hard basket to make a truck route...
How about just collect data from people who want to add road closures to already set routes but so long as the vehicle type is set for truck/RV. Effectively it would be a clone overlay of map guides but over time with the community help it would create itself and within days to start with.
I would happily help through the teething issues within the first few months of individually adding closure roads to route if it meant that the route was more precise and made my job easier for planned routes.
If we started this 6+ years ago by now we'd have a pretty substantial map set out and I would happily pay for that experience as no other app even Tom Tom offers the experience Waze does.Ok, so 6+ years ago it was in the too hard basket to make a truck route...

Separate lane sign for public transport
Waze is far long ago navigates with public transport lanes, but still there is no public transport sign in lane editor on the junctions, so it is impossible to place the lane signs on junctions like in the pic. below correctly
I suggest to add additional PT lane sign like this, that will solve the navigation problem and will correctly show the location of PT sign

I suggest making the app works with offline maps.
It’s very useful to make the app working without internet by adding the ability to load offline maps.
Thanks.9 votes -
Alternate Routes
The last update to Waze made it more difficult and unsafe while driving. Prior to the update, I could click one button for alternate routes and it would bring up three on the screen. Now it brings up one and now I have to take my eyes off the road to slide the other options up. This was a bad idea of an update. Waze is the only map app that provides quick alternate routes while driving and now it is become risky to use.

Could we have a pause navigation feature
Could we have a pause feature, so your phone isn't telling everyone in the petrol station to turn left! You have to close the app and restart navigation if you need to stop somewhere, very annoying

Australian School Zones (40kmh) Alert
In Australia we have School Zones around all schools to ensure the safety of children around schools. In the majority of the Australian states this is a set period of Monday to Friday 8:00am to 9:30am and 2:30pm to 4:00pm. It would be great to create an alert of some sort, during these times and turn off the alert outside these times. Thank You

Verbal Speed Camera Alerts should be on constantly or make a button
In the UK, people loved Waze, simply due to its Verbal Alerting behaviour for everything. But a few months ago, speed camera verbal alerts were turned off if you're under the speed limit.
Not only is this dangerous but it could cause speeding tickets. Let me explain with this is problematic:
1) firstly, the main priority should be to get out eyes off the screens and on the road. It's self explanatory, if I'm constantly having to look fir the speed camera sign on the app and my eyes are off the road then this is a disaster waiting to happen at 70mph. Please note, not everyone needs to speed to be made aware of a camera, we should just be alerted.
2) the new feature is that you need to be above the speed limit to be warned/alerted of a camera, but in the UK we have smart motorways (which aren't smart but are a pain). On these motorways we have speed limits that change according to the traffic and can be 20mph now and 60mph the next hour, the cameras here are also set to change their flashing threshold per the updates, but for Waze, how does it make sense that I will only be alerted if I'm going 61mph when the live speed limit change is 30mph.
3) what if I'm under the speed limit 500meters behind the camera and then don't see the icon on screen or the camera as I get closer and get flashed doing 24 in a 20 zone and since the last year UK has changed from average 30 zones to 20 and this makes going over 20mph very easy by accident.
Please fix this issue OR LET US CHOOSE AND GIVE US A BUTTON.
If you don't want us having constant speed camera alerts, whether below, at or above the speed limit, then please AT LEAST GIVE US THE OPTION.
Just make a toggle button and everyone will be happy.
This is a big talk in the UK car scene right now and unsure why more tickets have not yet been made.

WME PH Only show at higher zoom
Feedback on new icons for Place Hazards (Cameras, Railroad crossings). (from another editor's posting in Waze Discuss)
In WME: hazards show on the map all the way out to Zoom 14! at this Zoom, even the railroad segment isn't rendered - does the hazard need to render this far?
In areas like NYC, WME performance is already poor (for making edits, panning and zooming in).
Now these icons also render out to Zoom Level 14, covering multiple streets, nodes, etc.
Not too long ago we had an update for UR and PUR pills to group up (cluster) to reduce clutter, but now these new Hazard icons are just making it worse.

CarPlay + Waze / Cluster Turn-by-turn not showing like it does on Android Auto
When using Waze with CarPlay on a vehicle with turn by turn display on cluster, the Waze don't show any direction, while Android Auto display a full direction.
The car in question is a 2024 GWM Ora 03, but the same happens on a 2023 BMW 320i.
Also, I don't know if this specific Cluster/CarPlay API is available for other apps, but this only works using Apple Maps. Waze or Google Maps doesn't show any direction on the cluster while using Apple car Play.

CHANGE SPEED CAMERA AND RED LIGHT CAMERA ICONS BACK TO THE OLD ICON OR GIVE US THE OPTION TO CHOOSE.
Waze changed the speed camera and red light camera icon on the map and it’s so much harder to see now.
Just got a ticket for going 2 mph over the speed limit because I didn’t see the camera on my map

differentiate between police control reports that are traffic-related and those that are not
The idea is to differentiate between police control reports that are traffic-related and those that are not. Currently, the app only allows the reporting of police controls without distinguishing between these two aspects. The specific proposal is for the app to allow users to report controls that are strictly traffic-related and, separately, another option to report police controls of a general nature that are not related to traffic.

Floating window on exit
Would like Waze to implement "floating" window on exit. Or atleast have pop up notification of the next direction, like Google maps has. When I close out Waze, I have no way of knowing the next step unless I reopen app.
