Good afternoon, I wanted to suggest streamlining the Waze system. In light of recent truck crashes on bridges, I would enter a figure for the maximum height of all bridges, so that before each trip, the truck driver would have to measure the maximum height and enter the figure into the Waze system, and the system would automatically navigate the driver to the road with the bridge at the appropriate height. This would save on accidents and, God forbid, loss of life.

Don't show "Continue Straight" until shortly before it's needed
Showing a continue straight as next turn hundreds of km before it's reached is annoying. I'd like to know what my actual next turn is. While it can be useful in many situations it's not needed until shortly before you reach it.
I suggest only display in app when the first prompt for it is announced.
Example:
In the example, I'm already on I-95 N. I don't need to know that in 76 miles I need to continue on I-95 (it actually started displaying about 200 miles before)

Speed limit icon too small and it would be better on the left-hand side of the screen

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,

Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Problem
Waze’s static database cannot display real-time variable speed limits (VSLs) on roads like Israel’s Highway 20 (Ayalon), Switzerland’s A1, Germany’s A3, Austria’s A1, the UK’s M25, the USA’s I-95, Canada’s Highway 401, Australia’s M1, and India’s Delhi expressways. Fixed speed limits (e.g., 120 km/h or 60 km/h) can mislead drivers, risking speeding tickets or accidents, especially on long stretches without repeater signs. Showing no limit confuses users and suggests unedited segments. This issue frustrates Waze communities in the UK, USA, India, Canada, and beyond, demanding a smarter solution.Current Options
No limit: Safest option, avoiding misinformation, but frustrates users expecting guidance and implies segments weren’t edited. A better solution exists.
Maximum limit (e.g., 120 km/h): Risks speeding when actual limits are lower, endangering safety.
Average limit (e.g., 100 km/h): Unreliable due to VSL fluctuations, causing incorrect warnings.
Lowest limit (e.g., 60 km/h): Overly cautious, annoying users with unnecessary alerts.
Solution
Display a country-specific speed limit sign (e.g., Israel’s red circle, USA’s rectangle) in the same UI spot as numeric limits, but with a symbol (e.g., question mark "?", exclamation mark "!", or eye "👀") instead of a number, urging drivers to check roadside VSL signs. In the Waze Map Editor (WME), add a simple, country-specific symbol option for editors to tag VSL segments.Benefits
Safer Roads: Prevents reliance on wrong limits, reducing accidents and fines, aligning with Waze’s safety mission.
Clear Guidance: Familiar signs with a symbol ensure intuitive UI and proactive VSL alerts.
Trusted Map: Shows active editing, boosting confidence in Waze’s community-driven reliability.
Global Impact: Enhances user experience worldwide, from Tel Aviv to Toronto, strengthening Waze’s leadership.
Simple Innovation: Minimal UI/WME changes, echoing Waze’s Israeli-born crowd-sourced vision.
Example
On Israel’s Ayalon Highway or Switzerland’s A1, where limits vary (60–120 km/h), Waze shows a red circle with a "?" to prompt checking electronic signs, ensuring safety and confirming editor input.Call to Action

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.

Waypoints
Would be great to have the option of refining a route by inputting waypoints. It is noted that there is an ability to input a single 'stop' but the time to that stop is displayed rather than the time to the destination - you need to tap the bottom bar periodically to check your destination ETA. So please include an option to input waypoints and to have the final desti ETA permanently displayed

Android Auto display on instrument cluster on VW Group cars
I've hit this issue and according to research it has been reported by other people using Waze Android Auto on VW Group cars.
In my case I have a Skoda Superb, and when using Waze Android Auto navigation, the instrument cluster will often(/always) show incorrect symbols for turns.
It seems to mostly go wrong for roundabouts, which the UK has many of. Roundabout direction icons will either incorrectly show as just a turn, or in the worst cases a right turn at a roundabout will show with a U-turn symbol.
This confusing display has been enough to stop me using Waze, I'm using Google Maps instead.

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):
