replace top bar with reports buttons
The top bar displays some information which is useless for navigation. Maybe it would be better to replace these with buttons for reporting issues. Make it bigger, too, so those buttons can be pressed easily.

Automatically adjust the size of the text for turn instructions for longer text to fit more on the screen
Currently if there is text in the visual instructions or towards that is really long, Waze will end up cutting off important information that could be useful in Android Auto.
My suggestion is to make this text be automatically adjusted so more can fit on the screen but can still be readable with the naked eye.
I'm not sure what is exactly the best way to go about this but currently I find it not as user friendly as it could be considering us editors try our best to get all the information out there only for like a fair bit of it to be cut off with the current UI design.

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.

turn by turn notification on in-car instrument cluster display
On my BMW 5 series (OS8.5) and CarPlay with iOS26, turn by turn notification/guidance that appears in instrument cluster is way too big, covering the route ahead which I need to drive. It is very difficult to see what is in front of me and in that case I need to look at the large display, which is not that safe especially when you need to turn. It would be much nicer to have this window moved underneath the car arrow instead of ETA window. ETA window in instrument cluster is not essential information and I could live without it, easily.
A option in settings "Show guidance below car icon/arrow" will give users freedom of choice depending on their car display and implementation.
Alternatively, move car arrow to the bottom edge of display if possible.

Shadow the Hedgehog
I see you recently introduced Sonic as a Navigator and he's already super fun and gives me the happiest time while driving. I was wondering in the spirit of rivals, could we get a shadow version too to go along with it. Keanu Reeves, David Humphrey, Jason Griffith, or Kirk Thorton!

Give us the option to keep depereciated icons\voices
Please can you stop taking away the icons and voice that we like and just ask us if we want to pay something and just keep them, it costs you nothing once you've licensed the product\voice and I for one miss T-Pain but taking away my Ecto-1 is just a low blow Waze and I don't like that you're doing it without even giving us the option to keep it. you've made my Waze just that little bit worse today......

Delete reported hazard
If you create a hazard, this may have been accidentally added (eg wrong hazard selected). There should be an option to amend or delete a hazard you have created - maybe give a timing window if you don’t want it permanently an option

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.

Add vehicle’s height
Hi
I think that adding a feature to your waze account where you can choose your car height would help you by driving in adjusted roads and driving eventually in a more accurated path5 votes -
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.

Full visual lane guidance (like TomTom or Sygic)
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding full visual lane guidance to Waze, similar to what TomTom or Sygic offer.This means showing all lanes clearly on the screen, with the correct lane highlighted using arrows or lines, not just a small icon or short instruction.
The current Direction card with a lane icon is helpful, but not enough, especially when driving on highways or in complex intersections.
A visual guide across the screen would make navigation safer and easier to follow – especially for less experienced drivers or tourists.
Please consider adding this feature in future updates.
Thank you!5 votes -
