Caution: Unusual activity reported nearby. Slow down and drive with care.”
I’d like to propose a community-reported Safety Alert for situations where unusual or unclear activity near the roadway creates uncertainty and potential risk, even when the cause is not clearly visible or identifiable.
In these moments, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue, leading to panic braking, sudden U-turns, or drivers unknowingly entering unstable areas.
Examples include:
Sudden crowd activity blocking streets
Chaotic traffic behavior with no clear incident
Loud or alarming sounds affecting driver focus
Unstable situations where drivers begin stopping or turning around abruptly
In these cases, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue.
Proposed alert
Name: Safety Alert – Uncertain Situation
Icon: Orange safety whistle (universal alert symbol)
Message:
“Uncertain situation reported ahead. Stay calm, reduce speed, and drive with caution.”
This alert would not identify people, groups, or causes.
Its purpose is to encourage calm, predictable driving and safer rerouting when normal road conditions break down.Similar situations happen worldwide (protests, large events, unrest, crowd activity).
A simple, neutral alert can help drivers everywhere make safer decisions.Thanks for considering a community-focused safety enhancement.

Wrong-Way One-Way Alert
Hello,
Request the implementation of an Alert Feature in the application that provides an immediate audio and visual warning on the map if the system detects the vehicle is traveling the wrong way on a One-Way Street.
This feature would significantly enhance driving safety and help prevent potential accidents.

dynamic rerouting
Please stop automatic (dynamic) re-routing. Waze no longer is asking for re-routing permission from the user during active navigation. Waze is now dynamically (automatically) re-routes user without askiing nor alerting the user. Please STOP automatic (dynamic) re-routing without asking user's permission. Please stop automatic dynamic re-routing without asking user.

Change place "Closed or moved" report to "Permanently closed or moved"
Today, users often report a place as "closed" because it is temporarily under renovation, or because the listed hours are incorrect. However, if an editor accepts this report, the place is deleted, which doesn't address the actual issue. These mistaken reports could be reduced if the menu item for this report was changed to include the word "Permanently."

Speed camera alert distance
It would be very useful to be able to increase the distance at which speed camera alerts are triggered. Currently they are way too short (too little notice) - speed cameras can now detect cars at a significant distance away, and multiple times I've had the alert triggered only after I could see the camera and it could see me (usually on a motorway bridge).

Bring back Deer sightings on or near road. Simply , road hazard is insufficient to warn drivers.
Being back deer on side of road or in road is much better than just saying road hazard . A simply road hazard does NOT give drivers proper heads up to avoid killing the animals and possibly themselves

Proposal for Drone-Based Navigation Feature in Waze
Dear Waze Management Team,
My name is Mehdi Shojaei, and as a loyal and frequent user of Waze, I would like to share an idea that could significantly enhance both the user experience and driving safety.
Nowadays, some modern vehicles (especially new Chinese models) have introduced an innovative feature where a drone is deployed to scan the road ahead and provide the driver with live, useful information. This technology ensures that drivers can stay informed about upcoming traffic, obstacles, or road conditions without being distracted or forced to make sudden stops.
I would like to suggest that Waze implement a similar concept in a digital and animated form within the app. The idea is as follows:
The navigation arrow (route indicator) could be redesigned as a digital drone.
This drone could “take off” from the map either when the user presses a dedicated button or automatically when the Waze AI deems it necessary, scanning the route ahead.
The scanned information could then be displayed visually and interactively for the driver.
This feature would not only improve the visual appeal and engagement of Waze but would also contribute greatly to driver safety. Currently, many users manually drag and scroll through the map to see traffic conditions ahead, which is both time-consuming and potentially dangerous while driving.
I sincerely appreciate the continuous efforts of the Waze team to provide the best navigation experience worldwide and hope this idea will be considered for future updates.
Sincerely,
Mehdi Shojaei

Look both ways when a road ends at a two-way road and you turn right
When driving on a road that ends in a two-lane road and you want to turn right, you usually only look to the left to see if a vehicle is approaching.
I think that in these cases, Waze should give a voice warning to check visually in both directions.
It may happen that on the right side a vehicle is overtaking another and the driver is doing so on the opposite lane, the lane you intend to enter.
The danger can increase if visibility is poor due to vegetation or other objects.6 votes -
Waze truck
Hello. Waze could implement a GPS feature for trucks, such as restricted areas, rotations, roads that have space for long trucks like trailers. I believe this feature would help thousands of truck drivers like me.

Waze mode for public bus drivers
Team,
My name is Meital , and I’m a professional bus driver in Israel. I’d like to suggest a new feature that could greatly benefit both new and experienced drivers: a dedicated navigation mode for bus lines.
The idea is to create an option within Waze that allows drivers to select a specific public bus line (e.g., “Line 76 from Ashdod to Bat Yam”) and get step-by-step navigation based on the actual route and stops of that line. The system would include all scheduled stops, expected turns, and route-specific details.
This feature could serve multiple purposes:
• For new drivers, it would be an excellent learning tool before entering service.
• For experienced drivers, it would offer immediate guidance when assigned unfamiliar lines on short notice.I also believe this service could be offered exclusively to licensed drivers, possibly as a paid premium feature, to keep it professional and avoid public misuse.
Many drivers in the field—myself included—would be thrilled to see such a tool developed. It would significantly improve safety, reduce errors on route, and provide peace of mind during demanding shifts.
If this idea is of interest, I would love to elaborate or collaborate in any way possible.
Thank you for your time and consideration

Hazard duration
I've checked, and I can't seem to find this suggestion, if it's already here please direct me to it.
I like to suggest that the duration of some hazards be changed. In particular potholes and construction. Potholes where I am usually last for a month at least, and there aren't enough wazers to keep the ones that are already reported active, so an extended duration for potholes would it be helpful. Even if it were a day or two, it would let other wazers confirm that it's still there.
Construction, could last for a number of hours, or the remainder of the day, as there are lots of short term construction projects that pop up for a day, but like potholes they time out before the construction is done. As with potholes other wazers would have an option to remove the report if it were ended.
This change would be convenient, and help people to better avoid delays.

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.

Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like those for avoiding tolls or highways—that allows users to automatically avoid high-risk areas when planning a route. This would give users more control over their journey and increase trust in the app’s routing, particularly in developing markets where safety concerns are a daily reality.
By helping users avoid dangerous routes through crowdsourced safety data, Waze can position itself as a truly adaptive and user-focused navigation tool.

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...

speed camera alert closer to the speed camera
the alert is happening 400m from the camera, sometimes there is an intersection before the camera that you may stop at and by the time you get going again you may of forgotten about the camera. listening to the news or music may distract from the warning, when you finally get that 400m down the road. a second alert 50m from the camera, speeding or not, would be greatly appreciated.
