Improve spoken voice prompts speed
I often find that when driving at speeds faster than 50mph and approaching roundabouts(slowing down of course) off slip roads from dual carriageways/ Motorways often the voice prompts are to slow in mentioning in what turn I need resulting in me needing to go around the roundabout twice to understand the given direction or as the case in the last few days actually being told which turn whilst on the roundabout going past the turn I needed!!
Please look into this as my Garmin unit still gets used a lot because of this problem making it sometimes unsafe to consider…

Add traffic light and bus stop option for the "Are you in traffic?" prompts.
Often times the slowdowns detected are due to traffic lights or bus stops.

Make the Interstate Highways Stand out more with a Different Color
Sometimes it's difficult to get your bearings on where exactly you are on the Waze Map. It would help, I believe, if you made the Interstate Highways Stand out more prominently perhaps with a different color so as you can see the main arteries of travel to better base yourself and understand very quickly where exactly you are on the map!

Have client present auto-off if removed from charging
I sometimes make frequent stops during a trip, and it is an annoyance to have to start and stop the client so that it doesn't give false heavy traffic reports. If I am in the car, I always have the phone on a charger. if the client senses that the phone is no longer charging, have a pop-up box ask if the application should be turned off.

level 4 & 6 mood
Bonjour Reader,
Could you add the mood of the editor in levels 4 and 6 in WME to the client Waze for different visiblity on live map because they are the best.
An editor can choose differents moods editor when he wants not just the dinosaur for levels 5.
Tanks.Bonjour Lecteur,
Serait-il possible d'ajouter les humeurs d'éditeur pour les niveaux 4 et 6 du WME dans l'application Waze, afin d'avoir une visibilité distincte sur la Live Map car ce sont les meilleurs. Un éditeur pourrait ainsi choisir différentes humeurs quand il le souhaite, au lieu d'avoir seulement le dinosaure…4 votes -
Option for "Safety-Aware Routing" Prioritizing Shelter Proximity
I suggest adding a routing option that allows users to find routes optimized not just for speed, but also for proximity to designated safety shelters (e.g., bomb shelters, emergency shelters) along the way. In emergencies, knowing you're on a path with quick access to a shelter could be crucial. This would be different from navigating to a shelter, but rather keeping shelters nearby while en route to a destination.

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…

Squares highlighted in green on the map
At the moment, squares don’t have green highlights on the map, which contradicts reality — in the editor, they only appear green on the map if we mark the location as a park. My suggestion is that squares should also appear highlighted in green on the map, providing a better visual experience and making it easier for users to find green spaces for leisure in their daily lives.

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,…

Option to display MILE MARKERS on interstates.
Please add an option to display mile markers on the map when traveling interstates. Some locations like rest areas are already defined by mile markers within Waze, and the data is already available on the back end so it shouldn’t be difficult to implement. It could be optional and off by default. But it absolutely helps road safety by being able to accurately report emergencies by way of mile marker designations on open stretches of interstate. Also very useful to professional drivers.

Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted line across both…

Shadow the Hedgehog
Please, please PLEASE give us a Shadow voice. The Sonic one is amazing and having the ability to switch over to his rival for a completely opposite vibe from Sonic would be hilarious and amazing all at once! I’d love to hear him get mad or annoyed with making U Turns and stuff. Make it happen!

Take away the chime that alerts you that you’re currently in a traffic jam.
This alert is Pointless. It doesn’t warn you that you are approaching a traffic jam - No, it only alerts you that you are Currently Sitting in a traffic jam. I have tried every option possible to turn this alert off, or change its chime tone, it’s not possible to opt out or change it to silent. It’s beyond stupid. I Hate It!
