Allow users to disable hazard warnings in roaming mode
Many (URs) user reports caused by permanent hazards in roaming mode - reporters are driving on highways and app will provide warnings about RR crossings, speed bumps and other hazard alerts located on the side roads.
It will be nice to allow users to disable warnings in roaming mode.Or maybe waze developers can modify/improve “algorithm” to detect speed, road type, etc before providing hazard alerts on side roads in roaming mode?

Enable Toyota instrument cluster navigation
New Toyota vehicles like Corolla 2023+, latest C-HR, and similar cars have the ability to partially show navigation on the instrument cluster in front of the steering wheel. For example turn right after 150 meters. This works with Google Maps, but not with Waze. Waze has implemented this functionality in the beginning of the year 2025, but not for Toyota vehicles. Please add support for Toyota.

Head up display
Dear Waze Team,
Please add Head-Up Display (HUD) support for Waze navigation in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Many modern vehicles, including the new Toyota RAV4 2026, are equipped with advanced HUD systems that can display navigation instructions directly on the windshield. It would be extremely useful and safer if Waze could show upcoming turns, lane guidance, distance to the next maneuver, and other navigation information on the HUD.
Waze is my preferred navigation app, and HUD integration would greatly improve the driving experience and help drivers keep their eyes on the road.
Thank you for considering this feature

Fire Truck Icon
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest the addition of an official fire truck and emergency vehicle icon/mood within the Waze application.
This feature could be very useful for firefighters, rescue teams, and emergency response personnel, allowing better visual representation within the Waze community.
Beyond the visual aspect, this implementation could also strengthen engagement from emergency service users and support road safety awareness initiatives.
Suggested vehicle icons could include:
- Fire engine
- Ambulance
- Rescue vehicle
- Rapid response unit
These icons could also be released during safety campaigns, emergency preparedness events, or special community activities.
Thank you for considering this suggestion and for the continuous improvement of the platform.
Best regards.

Truck map
Hi Waze. It would be a great idea if you could make maps for Trucks. Bridge height, bridge weight restrictions , length restrictions. Truck stops are not priority but would be nice to have. I use car play in my 40t truck with Waze but I use tom tom too, but I don’t Like TomTom. Sadly I have no choice but to use it 😂

button cancel route stopped working
After last update while running on Android Auto, button cancel route(in left bottom corner, button with cross and remaining time) stopped working, even though I see it is pressed - UI item changes the color when pressed. Button worked fine before with the same car and the same phone. It looks like it is pressed - there is visual feedback, but nothing happens.

Report temporary traffic lights using MapMate should generate a roadworks hazard not a UR
In the UK, when we have roadworks with an incursion onto the carriageway, they are often accompanied by temporary multi-way traffic lights. This allows the road to remain open, while controlling traffic flow over a narrow than normal bit of open road.
Since the introduction of MapMate reporting, we have noticed an increase in MapMate URs coming in referring to the presence of temporary traffic lights. This should not generate a UR, and should generate a "roadworks" hazard report.
I have raised this on the Waze Discuss MapMate thread, but it has been suggested that this feature is not on the roadmap yet. Adding this on here, as suggested by a UK Country Administrator.

Create a new camera category to support new AI cameras
In Greece there are new AI camera installed on various spots in Athens. These cameras issue tickets for a plethora of traffic violations. Seatbelts, helmets, red lights, speeding, mobile phone usage etc. These cameras are now using a red light camera icon or a bus lane icon or sometimes speed camera icon. There should be a new category for those cameras that cover all the violations.

Subject: Restore Red Color for Speed and Red Light Camera Alert Banners
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback on the recent UI change regarding the pop-up alert banners for speed cameras and red light cameras.
In previous versions, these alerts appeared in a bright red banner, which was immediately noticeable. In the current update, the banner has changed to a dark gray/black color. While this might look "modern," it creates a significant visibility issue, especially when driving in Dark Mode or at night.
The dark banner blends into the background of the app, making it difficult to distinguish an important safety warning from other map elements at a glance. For driver safety and awareness, I strongly request that you restore the high-contrast red color for these specific enforcement alerts.Message:

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.

Turn by turn on headup display (windshield)
Latest update 5.14.1.0 still does not enable turn by turn to show on the head up display (on winshield). There was a post that waze just needs to flip a switch. Google and apple maps already have it on. Can you guys please enable it? https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/50043126-prioritize-full-carplay-integration-hud-instrum

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.

Véhicule utilitaire
Bonjour Waze,
Utilisateur depuis vos débuts en France, je vous félicite — j’utilise Waze tous les jours dans mon activité d’artisan. Suggestion : ajoutez un profil « utilitaire » (hauteur, longueur, poids) et la possibilité de basculer entre plusieurs véhicules. Aujourd’hui, Waze ne distingue que Privé / Taxi / Moto et ne prend pas en compte les restrictions de gabarit. Il y a peu, je me suis retrouvé face à un tunnel limité à 2 m alors que mon véhicule fait 2,40 m : obligé de faire demi-tour, ce qui a considérablement rallongé mon trajet. Cette amélioration rendrait Waze encore plus performant pour les pros. Merci !Bonjour Waze,

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
