A feature that allows drivers to get help quickly if they break down in a tunnel with Waze beacons installed
When you enter a tunnel, and the Waze app senses this, it will put another icon on the screen, such as a red triangle with an exclamation mark, the same as your vehicles hazard light button.
If you get into trouble, you tap this button, and it brings up a screen that gives the tunnel operator's name and phone number (button), along with the direction of travel and exact location, e.g., nearest road marker on the wall. This information would be critical for quickly getting CCTV vision, lane closure lights, and dispatch of tow trucks.
It could also tell you…

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I love the…

Police
Pls add Police alert option “Cop on Top”.
In our country, the police likes to hide on the overhead bridges.

Feature Suggestion for Toll Payment Navigation in Malaysia Dear Waze Team, I’m Mr. Chua Wey Choong from Malaysia (User ID: RyanChuaaaaaaaa
Dear Waze Team,
Currently, when approaching a toll plaza, many drivers are unsure where the RFID, SmartTAG, or cash lanes are located. This often leads to last-minute lane changes, causing traffic congestion and, at times, dangerous situations.
Suggestions for Improvement:
Toll Logo on the MapWhen a driver is approaching a toll plaza, display a small toll logo on the map to indicate its presence.
Alternatively, provide a small pop-up notification when nearing a toll.
Lane Positioning for RFID UsersShow a box displaying the approximate position of the RFID lane (e.g., "RFID is at lane 9/10") when a…

Map icon indicator showing destination is on the left side or right side
When approaching your destination, there needs to be a Left side or Right side indicator icon on the map. I live in a city where there's a 3-4 lane one-way road and is frustrating when I'm approaching my destination and it doesn't tell me if it's going to be on the left side or right side. I don't use the map voice so that's not an option. Please do not tell me this feature exists when it doesn't.

Show which side of the street the location is on when you turn onto it
I would love for Waze to show which side of the street the location is on when you turn onto the final street. This would be especially helpful when there are two lanes to the road and you need to know which lane to be in.

Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

Local traffic and closures
Work for a local municipality with traffic. We are aware of several closures in advance. Would it be possible to have access to put scheduled closures on your system the day before? If there was a site for local municipalities I know I would use it. Anything to clear the roads before it’s a mess.

CLOSED STREET REPORT IMPROVEMENT
Hello,
I would like to suggest an improvement of Waze driver interface. Specifically cleaning up and making it easier for the driver to report a street live street closure. When doing that, the map that pops out makes it very difficult to recognize which street we want to indicate that is closed. Cleaning this option up and adding street names would greatly improve ability to report it and warn other drivers.
Thank you in advance

Pothole in specific lanes/ on shoulder and other stuff too
I want waze to say a couple of things
1. I like the idea of knowing where potholes are on the road but I would really like it if it said what lane it’s in and what shoulder it’s on that way I’m not noticing it at the last minute
2. I would really like it if waze said in 1,000 feet turn left or right onto this or that road I miss it when waze says that it would be really helpful for a lot of wazers imo2 votes -
Suggested driving speed based on traffic
Based on current driving conditions, the app would let you know how fast you should be going to keep traffic moving (i.e., if it was heavy traffic the app would recommend a speed of 10mph vs. moderate traffic with a recommended speed of 35mph). The feature would also suggest a lane you should be driving in, based on GPS speed, so drivers who prefer to go at a modest highway speed are in the middle or right lanes.

Right Center Left description for alerts such as hazards
ADD buttons for
Right
Center
Left
The app already has a description for everything else you just need to add the above on a single line.Other side of the highway would be nice to have.
The ability to UPDATE a notice someone else added to show misreported or under-reported notifications.
It works now as,
Hazard reported shoulderWELL as a responder I might want to get something out of that side of the road BEFORE the hazard gets worse or move over to a clear lane.
So the change would work something like,
Hazard reported RIGHT shoulder.You…

Why not believe me 1st time I report road closed? Why send me a 2nd time the same way?
You guys really sucked today. Reported exact same road closure 4 days ago after being 20 mins late bc WAZE didn't know. Now today WAZE sends me same way again!!!!! You guys are jerks for not believing me 1st time. I told you it was RR XING construction project. Why not look it up after I report it 1st time so you know how long to leave closure in place??? I shouldn't have to deal w same closure I reported already to you a 2nd time.

Lanes description
Recently there was a graphic description of the lanes before approaching a junction, so the driver can see what lanes exist and which one to choose. And after a while it was removed. It was nice and helpful, please give an option to put it back.

Apple CarPlay
In Apple CarPlay could you show 2-3 step by step instructions instead of just one? It’s helpful to know what move to make next after a turn or exit. Especially if it’s a quick turn in 25 feet or we need to move into another lane.

Show current direction and the next direction similar to google maps
I love using waze but one thing that always annoys me, especially when in areas I am not familiar with, is not knowing what the next direction is until I've completed the first.
For example, when exiting a highway there is no indication of if you should be turning left or right at the on-ramp until you have gotten close to the end of the ramp. I would find it really helpful if in scenarios like this the directions read "take exit ramp on right and then get in far left lane to take a left" or something similar to…9 votes -
