Accessibility
Suggestion:
Improve accessibility by offering larger and more legible text options for users with difficulty reading small, intricate, or black-colored fonts, as they appear in the current interface. Even with larger fonts and adjusted text styles enabled on my father's phone, the app doesn't adapt well to these settings, making it hard to read addresses and other details. I suggest implementing better accessibility features to address these needs.

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Add Old Penelope voice as an option for Spanish. The new voice is soulless. I miss Penelope voice.
Give me back Penelopes’s old voice. New Penelope’s voice is boring and soulless. If new voice were of a real person, I’d say that this person is lazy and listless.

I'd like to suggest that WAZE add a better navigation route for driver of RV's, 18 wheelers and Boxtrucks. So that larger size vehicles as such will be routed to areas that doesn't have low power lines and narrow bridges, etc. Thank you

use HN waze interpolation instead of google
We have several huge streets that make it difficult to place the house numbers, so I prefer to use interpolation by placing the house numbers in some meter intervals, but this change is usually not reflected because Waze prioritizes Google's interpolation over Waze's own data.
My suggestion is: Use Waze's interpolation when: The number is not mapped (there is no linked residential location and no house number) and there is a number greater than and less than the number searched for entered by an editor (not the automatic imported one)
Example:
Editor Editor
15 75I'm looking for the number 50, so in this example there is the interval (15-75) that was entered by an editor, so let's use Waze's interpolation
Example 2:
Imported Imported
15 75In this case, we maintain the current behavior, since we can't be sure that the imported number is in the correct location

EMERGENCY FIRE RESPONSE ASSISTANCE
Hi Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature called “Emergency Fire Response Assistance” to help firefighters reach fire incidents faster and improve traffic flow around emergency scenes.
This feature could allow authorized responders to tag a “Fire Incident Zone” with the exact address, providing quick routes that avoid traffic and obstacles. Nearby users would get alerts to take alternative routes, helping clear the way for responders.
Additionally, dispatch centers could send real-time updates to firefighters (like building entry points or obstacles) for more precise navigation. Once an incident is resolved, responders could mark the area as “clear,” lifting any traffic restrictions.
This would support public safety by improving response times and minimizing congestion around fire scenes.
Thank you for considering this!

Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match mobifone navigation
6. Add advance warning option, with warning distance (400m, 300m, 200m, 100m, 50m) so that the app can warn users sooner, especially when signs change in speedRecommendations for the Waze app:

WME is trying to merge 2 pois that have the same name but different address
In the editor, it is sometimes necessary to create 2 pois with a distance between them of 50 meters or less. These pois have the same name but different addresses. When saving, the editor tries to merge the pois. It is necessary to check for attempts to merge not only the poi name, but also its address. If the addresses of the pois are different, then these are different pois, and not an attempt to create a duplicate.

App closure after Apple CarPlay shutdown
Please fix the app so it automatically closes after the car shuts off with Apple CarPlay. It used to do this until about 6-12 months ago. It’s annoying that Waze stays running when you get out of your car, draining your phone battery.

Please make the 'next road' number bigger. The icon is too small to read safely while driving.
Please make the 'next road' number bigger. It's a big image with a small font. Knowing where I am going next is vital but the font is too smaller. Either make it bigger by default or let me choose to make it bigger.

Road closures
I'm a traffic flagger for a utility company. When I need to close a road, i can't do it unless I'm at the nearest intersection. How do I do this without being at that intersection, which may be a long distance from my work site.
Also, how can I open a road I've closed? Seems the next wazer has to open it; that's mot fair to other drivers. How can I open a road ive closed?6 votes -

Stoplights on map
You need to have stoplights on the map when. Giving directions. I know Apple Maps has it. It helps when coming to a turn but there is a light before it. It’s more precise.

Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are. However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads
Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are.
However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads or entering the size of vehicle. We occasionally tow a 7.5m caravan and last week when Waze re directed us due to heavy traffic we found ourselves in very narrow lanes with the caravan in tow - very stressful. A warning stating route unsuitable for large vehicles might even suffice?
Please can you consider this as an update.
Many thanks

Avoid traffic jams.
I often travel with 3 kids on long road trips. Always rather be moving than standing in place with screaming kids and I am SURE a lot of people would agree. I recently had a trip take 10+ hours instead of the original 7 because of completely predictable and avoidable traffic jams on highways. Clearly not there in the middle of the night when I depart but jams there every day since they are because of ongoing construction work on a lane. I kind of assumed waze already tried to help you avoid these but I guess I was wrong. Ran into 4 of them.
I need a setting to avoid jams appearing on my route with 2 extra parameters: max acceptable length of of a traffic jam (in minutes) and max percentage of remaining trip length added as a consequence of choosing an alternative route.
This could be via a notification showing you the jam estimated length and the cost of reroute.
Ex:
I enable the feature and chose a 10 minute max jam time and a 15% max time increase.
A notification appears telling me a new jam appeared on my current route. Jam seems 15 minutes long and the alternative route adds 1 hour to my route (10% of my total remaining trip time) and I gladly accept and am rerouted to leave the highway and rather keep moving that waiting in a standstill.I often travel with 3 kids on long road trips.
