Different Category for Tram and Train
If you living in a city with a tram system you have a lot of warning crossing a tram line. It would be better to have different categories for this warning for tram and trains.

Lower Waze's Age Rating on Apple App Store
Hello Waze Support Team,
I'm writing to suggest that you consider lowering Waze's age rating on the Apple App Store. Currently, Waze is rated 17+, while Google Maps is rated 4+.
Many young drivers and passengers could benefit from using Waze's features, such as real-time traffic updates and hazard alerts. A lower age rating would make the app more accessible to this demographic.
Could you please provide some insight into why the app has a 17+ rating and if there are any plans to re-evaluate it?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,

Road restrictions
Entering this idea as the previous "Road width restrictions" idea is closed for votes as implemented, even though it is not. Probably why its been omitted for several years.
Have waze allow map editors to include road restrictions, including width, height, weight, vehicle type, time based and temporary.
Allow users to include vehicle specifics in their route options.
The existing implementation uses the vehicle registration, but that only works in some countries and not the UK which has a lot of such restrictions.
Other routing apps have these features.

Option to Ignore Automatic Traffic Rerouting for Motorbikes

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 the GIS system is updated, a Map Issue or Map Suggestion would be generated for WME editors to solve.

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 audible alerts for all types of cameras (speed cameras, red-light cameras, mobile speed traps, school zone cameras, bus lane cameras, etc.), not just fixed speed cameras.
• This would greatly improve driver safety and focus on the road, especially for professional drivers who cannot afford distractions.
3. Truck and Bus Navigation
• Add full navigation support for all classes of heavy vehicles, including:
• Light Rigid (LR)
• Medium Rigid (MR)
• Heavy Rigid (HR)
• Heavy Combination (HC)
• Multi-Combination (MC)
• All categories of buses.
• Include truck- and bus-specific routing options, such as avoiding low bridges, restricted roads, weight limits, and bus-only roads.
• Many drivers who rely on Waze for personal car trips would also like to use Waze for their professional work in trucks and buses, but currently, Waze does not fully meet these needs.
4. Professional Driver Use Case
• Waze has a huge opportunity to support professional drivers (truckers, bus drivers, delivery drivers, etc.) who want the same smart navigation and community-based alerts they enjoy in their cars.
• Expanding features to include heavy vehicle navigation and more robust audible alerts would make Waze not only the best app for personal use but also the top choice for professional driving.Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):

Live Navigation Sharing Between Multiple Vehicles in Group Travel
I would like to suggest a new feature for Waze that can assist during group travel, especially when there is no fixed destination or the destination is uncertain.
In situations where two or more vehicles are traveling together (e.g., in a convoy or guided trip), Waze should allow one car to act as a guide vehicle and share its real-time movement path with other vehicles following behind.
The Waze app should then navigate the following vehicles based on the exact route taken by the guide vehicle. For example, if the guide vehicle turns right at a junction, the following cars will also be directed to turn right, even if there's no specific end address entered.
If the guide vehicle gets more than, say, 2 km ahead, Waze should actively guide the trailing vehicles to catch up and follow the same path until they reconnect.
This would be especially useful for:
– Off-road adventures
– Road trips with multiple cars
– Military or official motorcades
– Guided group eventsSuch a feature would improve coordination and reduce the chances of getting lost during convoy travel.

Waze sleeping mode shortcut for ios shortcuts
Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?
I am using apple shortcut to start waze when I connect my phone to the bluetooth headset in my car. I am using navigation everytime I enter my car and looking for any way how to close waze, or stop location services - sleeping mode or any other solution to stop draining my battery. In apple shorcuts is no way to close app. There are several waze shortcuts but all of them is related to navigate somewhere, add point etc. No possiblity to close waze, or prevent using power consuming GPS locationing on the background.
So I every day when I am leaving the car I have to switch off or sleep the app manually.Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?

Feature Request: Co-Drive Functionality
Every year, I go on vacation with my family and friends, and we always rely on the Waze app, which has been incredibly helpful for all of us.
I’d like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the experience for groups traveling in multiple cars: a Co-Drive functionality. The idea is to allow users who are part of the same travel group to see each other’s locations on the map during the trip. This would be especially useful if one vehicle makes an unplanned stop—at a gas station or store, for example—so the rest of the group can stay aware and avoid getting separated.
I believe this feature would benefit many users who often travel in convoys or with multiple cars heading to the same destination.
If you need any additional information or examples of how this could work, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d be happy to help.

EV networks
Allow users to add EV charging stations/networks and ideally integrate with present multi network services like Octopus Electroverse, ZapMap etc.
Allow filtering of charging stations by power and or cost as well as plug type
The current list of networks is limited and misses a significant number of stations that might otherwise be easily found and used enroute.

Ramp and road closures
If there is a way to report closed roads and highway ramps, I can't find it. And maybe others can't too, which could be the reason why closures I've driven up to this week were not reported. Sometimes a firetruck has a road blocked. Sometimes it's a block party or a broken down vehicle. The reasons don't matter. The closed roads and ramps are what matter

When you pop up a warning for a speed camera, don't cover the speed limit on screen
When the speed camera warning comes up, it stays there until you pass the speed camera. This is great, however the pop up banner also covers the speed limit, so you don't know how fast you should be going!
Be great if you can change the banner to show the limit or move the speed limit so it's not covered by the banner4 votes -

Demon slayer Tanjiro (Zach Aguilar) and inosuke ( Bryce Papenbrook) voice.
Just got into watching demon slayer, and thought how cool would it be to get navigation directions from either inosuke ( lots of energy and pep) or tanjiro ( calm and reassuring).
I believe the demon slayer movie is being released later this year and I think this would make a nice promotional tie in.
Thanks

Speed bumps alert option
I suggest to adding the "speed bump" alert inform option, too. Today we can't inform it. There's just the voice alert, but not the option to inform one.
