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.

Make the electric car pop-up optional
The electric car pop up shows every time I am putting in an address to go to. I don’t have an electric car and many others don’t as well. This pop-up should be removed and put under settings a person with an electric car can turn that feature on.

Add a simple Retry button after route planning fails
Often, I enter my destination right before driving.
Sometimes Waze fails to plan the route (because of weak signal or Wi-Fi/mobile switch).
This usually happens just after I start driving, so it’s hard and unsafe to go through many taps to try again in Android Auto.Please add a small “Retry” button on the error screen to try planning again with the same address.
✅ Safer – no need to touch the screen much while driving
✅ Faster recovery from short connection issues
✅ Very simple, very helpful improvement6 votes -

Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too
Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route
Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too close to the actual point. I would like to suggest that Waze allow users to configure the distance in advance for these alerts (for example: 500m, 1km, 2km).
Benefits:
More reaction time and safer speed adjustment.
Prevents sudden braking right on top of the radar or obstacle.
Improves user experience, especially on highways and fast roads.
This customization would be very useful for drivers, particularly on long-distance routes.

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

Option to Ignore Automatic Traffic Rerouting for Motorbikes

ADD ICE ALERT NOTIFICATIONS
Using the immense network and crowd-sourced infrastructure already in place, please add an additional alert where users can add an ICE / Homeland Security sighting. Same functionality as current "police" or "hazard" with the "still there" or "not there" controls.
An easy programming solution to alert law-abiding citizens from being unlawfully detained.
Please share this suggestion with EVERYBODY to have it added ASAP.
Thank you.

Temporary traffic lights
Add an option to show temporary lights, option for roadworks is great but I think most people would like to know if there’s a set of temporary lights, these can add time onto busy work commutes and this can be taken into account when planning a drive. Waze is fantastic for everything else but this would take it too a new level above every other navigation app.

Add bike lanes on roads
There should be an option where you can see bike lanes, it can pop up on the side of roads that actually have bike lanes. If there is a bike lane and you need to turn where the bike lane is, it could give you a warning to watch for cyclists in the bike lane. With adding bike lanes, you can even add a feature for cyclists! When you put in your destination on Waze, there could be a pop up that is a little button which says CAR or BIKE. You could switch it on or off depending if you are a bike or car. This would help expand waze and would gather some new members. I am a cyclist myself and this would be really helpful. To add bike lanes, you could go in WME (Waze Map Editor), click the + button, click road, then it could be under walking trails or a new category it self.

JEREMY CLARKSON
A Modest Proposal: Jeremy Clarkson for Waze Voice Navigation
Dear Waze Team,
Let’s cut to the chase — Waze is brilliant. But you know what would make it truly exceptional?
Jeremy Clarkson.
Not just as a voice. As a driving philosophy. Imagine:
“Turn left... or don’t. I’m not your mother.”
“Traffic ahead. Caused, presumably, by a Prius.”
“You've arrived. It's no racetrack, but it'll do.”
"In 200 meters Turn left-- unless you drive a beige Volvo. In which case, please stay home"
Clarkson is the voice of speed, sarcasm, and barely-contained road rage — everything a morning commute needs. Give us what the roads (and humanity) deserve.
Kind regards,

Une option jeune conducteur
Il faudrait dans les réglages une option que l'on peu choisir pendant 3ans ou moins que l'on vient d'avoir notre permis, que nous sommes jeunes conducteurs. Ce qui nous permettrait d'avoir nos limitation de vitesse instaurer, nous informer de garder nos distance si on est trop près, et surtout nous sentir plus en sécurité avec Waze...

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
