Danger Area
I suggest creating a dangerous areas alert feature as slums, streets or dangerous areas, with danger degree (high, medium or low) for assault, burglary, vandalism, etc. And the system always warn approach. The user can configure whether you want a route that deviates from the area or not, as you prefer the user.
19 votesGreat news! Avoiding high risk areas using the Waze app is now available in Israel and limited areas in Brazil. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Add Estimated Rest Stops
Allow Waze to look at my previous drives and understand that normally in a 4 hour drive I take one rest stop for approximately 20 minutes. That 20 minutes should be accounted in my ETA I personally think.

Safe Area
It would be great if Waze gave some kind of general warning for areas that are no go areas due to crime. Sadly South Africa has too many of these areas. I am a South African and use Waze daily. Its also dangerous for tourists. You can literally within 2 roads find yourself in a very dangerous and dark area that is full of crime.

Restroom Search
Please add feature to search for closest restrooms on route - rest areas, public restrooms at gas stations and restaurants. Waze admin responses to other bathroom feedback states users can search for “restroom” or “toilets”, but this feature does not work. Waze directed me to a rest area 20 miles away. Gas station search sent me to 4 San Diego area gas stations, 1 closed and 3 with no public restrooms. The closest restaurant required a minimum purchase for the restroom door code.

High Accident Area Allert
When about to enter an intersection where there have been many fatalities/accidents Waze could alert you to use extra caution. Today, my son and I saw an accident that is an area I went through and I remember thinking..."Oh my goodness, what in the world!?!" It was a strange intersection. I think drivers can be warned either by a voice warning to use extra caution or by a color that shows that area to be susceptible to accidents. His truck was upside down and the top crushed in. We hope he's okay. The idea to me is not to avoid…

Motorcycle-Friendly Long Trip Rest Recommendations
On long trips using motorcycle navigation mode, Waze should recommend rest stops every 1 hour or 120 km (whichever comes first). These stops could include nearby gas stations, rest areas, scenic points, or safe parking spots, helping riders stay alert, hydrated, and safe.
Why This Feature Matters
…Safety First: Long rides on a motorcycle are physically demanding. Fatigue increases the risk of accidents. Timely rest breaks help reduce this danger. Health & Comfort: Regular stops reduce back strain, dehydration, and numbness. It promotes better focus for the rest of the ride. Route Planning: Knowing where to stop in advance,1 vote -
Limit traffic alerts to same country/smaller area
There's no point in showing alerts from 2000+ km away. Most people are only interested in alerts in their immediate area.
62 votesOn Android, iPhone and next versions of Symbian and WM, you can set a radius for alerts. Go to general settings.

Restricted area
Much like being asked if it's okay to travel on a route with tolls. There should be an option or a prompt to ask about driving through a restricted area/military base on your route. I used Waze the other day to find a post office and it took my right to a security check point of a military base. Would have been nice to know that's where the app was taking me.

have an alert when waze is directing you into a high crime area
have an audible alert or color code when waze is directing you into a high crime area. Often locals avoid those areas and they will therefore have less traffic. But not always a good idea to go into those areas especially at night.
263 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Wayside alerts
Alerts on upcoming waysides (rest stops)
Ie.
Alert … wayside (rest stop) in 2 miles. Rest rooms, vending machines, dog exercise area. Next wayside in 60 miles (50 minutes) can you hold it that long?4 votes -
PITSTOP button
The screen needs a “PITSTOP” button for rest area, gas and food stops. The continual redirection as soon as you leave the programmed route is annoying and unnecessary. You could just hit PITSTOP as you leave the route and then press it again when you return to the chosen route. You could have a color coded button to make it easier to read.

Add "mileage countdown" for upcoming points of interest
Allow users to enter in a number of miles as a countdown timer.
For example, if you see a sign that says "next rest area 35 miles ahead", you could enter "35" into the mileage countdown. Then display this on the screen and count it down to zero.
This will allow users to see how many miles until their next point of interest.

Create static area of interest
Allow user to create an area of Interest on the map. This area would be circular and have a diameter set in miles. The user would then select alert types that they would like to receive within that area. For example, weather , police , accidents etc... The area could be named and saved within the user's account. The named area is static and therefore does not move as compared to the named area of interest that would surround a moving car.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.
