Bring back the larger fonts
Waze fonts have gotten smaller in recent releases. One of the benefits of Waze has always been the larger, easier to read layout and minimum required clicks. The new UI seems to be moving away from these tenants and is much harder to read and use. Go back to your roots.

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

Voices preview and favorites
I've noticed a few things that could be improved: 1. why not preview the voice directions before we choose one.
2. instead of scrolling through the voices all the time why not have a favorite option to add which ones you like and change between them easier.6 votes -

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.

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 -

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

Road restrictions
Entering this idea as the previous "Road width restrictions" idea is closed for votes as implemented, even though it is not. Probably why its been omitted for several years.
Have waze allow map editors to include road restrictions, including width, height, weight, vehicle type, time based and temporary.
Allow users to include vehicle specifics in their route options.
The existing implementation uses the vehicle registration, but that only works in some countries and not the UK which has a lot of such restrictions.
Other routing apps have these features.

Option to Ignore Automatic Traffic Rerouting for Motorbikes
Let motorbike riders stay on the original route even if Waze suggests a reroute. Constant rerouting can be distracting or unsafe when riding.6 votes -
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.

Driving with speed limitation, caravans for example.
Dear Waze Team,
First of all, thank you for an outstanding app that continues to improve travel experiences worldwide. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly benefit drivers who tow caravans or trailers – or who, for any reason, are legally required to drive at lower speeds than regular traffic.
Currently, Waze assumes standard vehicle behavior and speed limits. However, in many countries (such as across Europe), towing a trailer legally restricts drivers to lower speeds – often 80 km/h on highways, regardless of the posted limit. This discrepancy affects both estimated time of arrival (ETA) and route optimization, especially over long distances.
Feature proposal:
- Add a “Towing / Low Speed Mode” option in vehicle settings
- Allow users to define a personal maximum speed (e.g., 80 km/h)
- Use this limit when calculating ETA and preferred routes
- Optional: warn against routes with weight/length/height restrictionsThis addition would significantly improve accuracy and safety for thousands of users who travel with caravans, trailers, or heavy loads.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
Best regards,
Per Kindwall

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.
