  1. Hands free reporting

    I love Waze! However, I find that I am likely part of the majority that simply doesn't report events as often as I should. The main problem I have is with taking the time to mess with my phone often when I need to be MOST focused on the road. Examples:

    Suddenly in a construction zone.... Yea probably shouldn't risk it.

    Cop chilling in a well hidden spot... Yea I need to focus on not getting a ticket rather than playing with my phone infront of them.

    Obstacle on road.... Literally focus on swerving rather than messing with the…

  2. Bulgarian TTS voice

    Waze offers TTS voices in many languages that can pronounce both street names and important alerts. This is extremely useful because alerts like average speed checks, speed bumps, and other warnings are spoken aloud rather than played as brief beeps that can be easy to overlook.

    Unfortunately, there is no TTS voice available for Bulgarian. I use the UK voice 'Kate' as a workaround, but it cannot correctly pronounce Bulgarian street names written in Cyrillic. This limits both usability and safety for Bulgarian-speaking drivers.

    Please add a Bulgarian TTS voice to ensure proper pronunciation of street names and audible alerts…

  3. Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)

    Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
    1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
    • Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
    • Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
    • Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
    2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
    • Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their phone screen.
    • Provide…

    Je suis entourée de LEZ la je planifie un itinéraire et les différentes suggestions me font passer par des LEZ alors que je peux les éviter. Si vous avez l'option eviter les autoroutes pourquoi pas une pour éviter les LEZ (low emmision zones). Merci.

  6. Truck drivers distort the measured speeds. If they were treated separately, WAZE would be much more accurate.

    It may be that there's no interest in optimizing the app for vehicles over 3.5 tons, such as motorhomes, trucks, buses, and the like, but drivers of precisely these vehicles still use Waze because Waze is simply one of the best navigation apps. However, these typically much slower vehicles distort the average speeds of users determined by Waze, so it would certainly make the app much more accurate if users could enter their vehicle data, such as weight and size, so that the data can be assigned accordingly when collecting the returned data. In return, truck drivers would then benefit…

  8. WAZE navigation system could be adapted to the nation's railroad netword where it could become a new-technology Positive Train Control.

    Railroad Safety: a Ten Billion Dollar Boondoggle
    Carl E. Nash, Ph.D.
    Derailments and collisions between trains are spectacular. Their economic and environmental consequences are considerable and they kill and injure people. In response, over the past forty years, pressed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Congress the railroads have been implementing Positive Train Control (PTC) systems to reduce the potential for these crashes.
    Actually, U.S. railroads are quite safe for passengers. An average of only 5 people die in train crashes each year: slightly more than are killed in motor vehicle crashes in…

  9. Traffic Jam Standstill Should be much slower

    Waze needs to read the speed of Wazers in a Standstill Traffic Jam better. In the last couple of months, I have not been re-routed around terrible standstill traffic jams because Waze thinks the "Standstill" is moving at 15 mph when, in reality, you're literally idling and moving a few feet every couple of minutes. I see where the app tracks Wazers, so why can't it use their average speed, which was closer to 3 mph? In the last few months, I have been caught in very long traffic jams because Waze thinks the route your on is faster than…

  10. ZFE NICE - ERREUR MESSAGE VIGNETTE CRIT'AIR 4

    Bonjour,

    À la suite des récents comités ministériels, la zone administrative de surveillance « Nice », comprenant la Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur, est désormais classée en « Territoire de Vigilance ». Aussi, au 1er janvier 2024 ce sont les restrictions ZFE 2023 qui s’appliquent pour une durée indéterminée (voir arrêté modificatif du 19 février 2024).

    A ce jour, l’application Android Waze, indique un risque d’amende pour une destination dans le périmètre de la ZFE, pour un VL ou VUL vignette Crit’Air 4.

    Or il s’agit d’une erreur, les véhicules Crit’Air 0, 1, 2, 3 et 4 sont autorisés à circuler…

  11. Restriction zones based on license plate

    In Costa Rica Waze is probably the top GPS app, largely because we lack proper street names and numbers!

    The capital city has a license plate access restriction system, where depending on your license plate, you cannot access the city center 1 day of the week. It would be amazing to have the ability to tell waze which day you cannot enter and for the app to design alternate routes for you.

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

  12. Merci d'indiquer plus clairement et avec rappel, lorsqu'on se rapproche d'une Zône Police. Très important pour les motards en mode son. Merc

  13. Marking roads as non-allowed transit routes

    In Sweden quite a few roads are prohibited from use when it comes to transit routes, usually because they run through densely populated areas and school zones. Using these prohibited routes will get you a fine if caught.

  14. Waze for CMV drivers

    I’ve seen the multiple post about Waze making an app or integrating cmv options for the current app and notice that nothing gets more than 11 votes before the idea is shut down. Is there a reason for that? Waze is an extremely easy to use and reliable gps app. As an iOS user, I have downloaded google maps(iOS maps highly unreliable and hard to use), and other apps that I have to use in combination with the Omni tracks to keep on route and keep track with driving but none of these gives accurate enough road information as far…

  15. Safety road is follow one way circles

    FOLKS, PLEASE READ THIS IS URGENT.
    I have 20 years o driving experience, well my friends died on roads too.. Last time technical failure caused the truck in opposite direction lost its trailer. 80 + 80 = 160kmph = HE DIED.
    Therefore I have imagined how ie. distributors (PpL, DHL,UPS..) travel in circles... In general average, I better don't want to meet these guys in opposite direction. In mathematical model I want to minimize other Wazers passin by. I'd like to get SOME model applied in general and follow just because I am scared of front crash. SOME could…

  16. Create a Partner Data Feed for GIS-based Street Sign Inventory

    Many municipalities are importing/moving their street sign inventory into their GIS system. Since many Waze map attributes are based on visible street signs (speed limits, one-way streets, turn restrictions, school zones, street names, etc.), it makes sense to allow municipalities to upload their sign locations and have some koi-fish-style validation of those signs against the existing Waze attributes.

    For the initial upload, where signs differ from the Waze attribute, Map Issues or Map Suggestions could be created to have WME editors verify the differences and make any necessary corrections.

    On an ongoing basis, as new signs are posted and…

  17. Bonjour, Pourquoi ne pas indiquer oralement les changements de limitations de vitesse

    Mon idée est d'avoir une assistance vocale indiquant les changements des limitations de vitesse, plutôt que d'entendre les zones de contrôles ou de police. Informations qui n'aident pas à la conduite, mais à éviter les forces de l'ordre...Très utile pour les trafics en tout genre !!!

    adding automatically speed limits for each segment in all metro zones/cities/towns and all over the country,

    this limits can be approved and coordinated with all community managers.

    and if in one city is a segment with a different speed limit, any local editors change speed limits value

  19. Road worker alert

    Add an alert for workers that are not in construction zones! These are the guys that are outthere close to the edge of the road mowing the grass and picking up trash! They are vulnerable because the only alert for them is usually a sign and they are generally working with nothing between them and traffic.
