Optimization Proposal for Waze – Integration of Support for Buses and Trucks
To enhance user experience and expand the app’s target audience, it is recommended to add dedicated support for heavy and public vehicles such as buses and trucks. This feature would include the following components:
Customized Driver Profiles – An option to select the type of vehicle: truck, bus, private car, motorcycle, etc.
Tailored Route Planning – Routes would consider height and weight restrictions, specific traffic signs (e.g., "No entry for trucks"), and restricted access zones.
Integration of Dedicated Lanes – For buses: display of bus-only lanes (such as BRT or HOV lanes) and incorporate their availability into route planning.

Background traffic info collection
Waze seems to have problems detecting traffic fast enough in zones where it isn't heavily used. In these zones other navigators simply do better in what Waze should be the king.
A solution might be adding an option to allow Waze collecting anonymous info such as user speed, location and direction even when closed, as a background service, to help increase traffic accuracy.
This way everybody with Waze installed can contribute to increase traffic accuracy (instead of just those who have the app actually running).
Since this can be considered a privacy concern for certain people, it could…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.

Suggest to show clearly which lane to choose for multi-lane roundabouts in the UK and bus lanes
Eagerly hoping Waze will have a clear guidance of which lane to choose for multi-lane roundabouts in the uk, i often get confused about which lane to choose. This will be very helpful especially for new drivers or people entering new zones, i often see crashes of cars choosing wrong lanes in multi-lane roundabouts. Please add this feature. Another suggestion is adding bus lanes alert.

Affichage
Afficher en permanence l'adresse de destination en haut de l'écran. On a parfois des doutes sur la destination qu'on a choisi.
De plus, lorsqu'on saisie une destination un message propose d'activer le Bluetooth pour les zones de tunnels (perte de la connexion GPS), quand on clic dessus on ne trouve pas l'endroit où il faut cliquer pour activer. Il serait bien de préciser la manipulation.1 vote -
Make camera/police notification distance speed dependent
In low speed zones, there will be a notification for a camera coming up in 600 meters. That's way too far: at 50kph, I'll have forgotten about it by the time I get there.
The other way around, 600 meters might be too short on a highway, at high speed (especially if the camera/speedtrap is reported slightly ahead of where it actually is)

Updates to / new reportables
Pot Hole (Choose which lane to report for)
Debris in road (Choose which lane to report for)
Visibility alert (Smoke & Fire) (not just bad weather)
Reduced speed alert (Australia 40km,60km,80km,100km) Some zones are 110 but when reduced to 60 it doesn't always change on navigation - Add the option as a reportable.
Option to choose specific reports to have audible alerts.. I usually run mine with no sound at all but would be good to be able to select Police / Speed camera alerts ONLY as audible.

Various suggestions
() Lame - you removed Schwarzenegger voice at update without warning () No ability to search voice list - forced to scroll unordered list () While en route to destination, app suggests food establishments that are MANY miles in OPPOSITE DIRECTION () In Andriod Auto mode, if view Contact, click SHARE street address, choose Waze, the waze app throws error - cant find address - yet works expectedly when not on AndroidAuto () App needs to allow user to define temporary road detours, school zones, large speed humps () Show the current road…

Allow users to check if they passed through ULEZ or Congestion charging from a completed journey by analysing the entire route taken
It would be very helpful and convenient to add a feature where waze analyses a completed journey and shows the user if they passed through particular tolls I.e. congestion charging and ULEZ as many people get confused about this and end up paying the charge anyway incase they did pass through them.
It would save people money and act as a fail safe.
I myself have paid many times although I have routed to avoid the tolls but the way wake works by diverting often to avoid traffic it adds tge risk of passing through the charging zones.

Safety
I’m a dedicated Waze user and truly appreciate how the app helps me avoid traffic, accidents, and delays. However, I’ve noticed that it sometimes routes me through areas that are unsafe — which is especially concerning when I’m driving alone as a woman. In truth, safety on the road is a priority for everyone. Waze could be even more powerful if it included a feature that allowed users to flag potentially unsafe areas and create “avoid zones” for routing. This would not only protect drivers but also build greater trust and loyalty among users.

Add option to avoid specific streets in navigation
Sometimes I want to avoid a specific street or area due to police controls, protests, or personal reasons. These are not always reported in Waze, so the app doesn’t know to avoid them.
I suggest adding a setting where users can select certain streets or zones to avoid, either temporarily or permanently. This way, Waze can calculate alternate routes that respect these preferences.
It could be similar to the existing “Avoid tolls” or “Avoid highways” options, but more customizable. Maybe a long-press on the map or a list where we add “Streets to Avoid”.
This would give drivers more…

Integration with parking apps
I think it would be cool if you could work in integration with Ringo and Paybyphone and similar apps so it's only one button between arriving at the end of the Waze route and purchasing parking time - Waze should obviously be able to recognise the car park based on GPS but can always load it up ahead of time when you navigate directly to a specific carpark - maybe it could warn you about other nearby parking zones so you make sure you're selecting the right place

The vehicle speed set to 0 and map display jumps on GPS blinds spots
The Speed Problem:
I noticed that when the car enters a cave my speed per hour gets reset back to 0 and when I leave the cave it goes back.Plus - The Map Display Problem:
When I get inside the cave the map display feature of the car/arrow icon stops working:
(the car/arrow icon would stop moving and then jump back to the end of the cave when I leave).I believe that the map feature and speed is working by gps to locate the vehicle location and time to calculate the speed which makes the car km/h /…

Enhanced Visual Warning for Speed and Red-Light Cameras
I would like to propose an additional visual alert system for speed and red-light cameras within Waze. The idea is to introduce a transparent red overlay that flashes on the screen as drivers approach a camera location.
This feature would serve as a strong visual cue, especially for users who may not always be actively looking at their GPS display or listening to audio directions. The flashing overlay would draw immediate attention and help ensure drivers are more aware of upcoming enforcement zones.
To keep the experience user-friendly and adaptable, I recommend that this alert be offered as an…

There needs to be more granularity on audio alert volume
Someone else said “Audio alerts without voice guidance”, but that’s only half, and actually, exactly opposite of what I’d like.
If there was separate volume slider for “Voice Guidance” and “Audio Alerts”, that would cover all bases.
My situation is different than the other suggestion - When i’m on my 3 hour commute, there are SO MANY VEHICLES ON SIDE OF THE ROAD that my podcasts get interrupted every 3 miles.
But because it’s 40 miles on one freeway, 35 miles on another, 45 on a third, and 30 on a fourth, i’ve zoned out and missed my exit,…

Ai
Dear Waze Product Team,
My name is Yeuda Chayoth, and I am reaching out from Givat Shmuel, Israel. I’d like to propose a new AI-powered feature for the Waze platform, designed to offer users greater control over their driving experience beyond time and traffic.
The concept — Waze StealthDrive AI — enables users to:
- Avoid highways, traffic cameras, or specific zones based on personal preferences
- Select “stealth modes” that reduce exposure to enforcement or tracking
- Let the AI learn and adapt to individual driving habits over time
- Suggest quieter or safer routes (e.g. shaded roads…1 vote -
crucial alerts should be more informative and different from normal ones
Please inform user about Vignette condition and effect on the routes (in Switzerland)!
I am an avid fan and frequent user of waze. literally anywhere and anytime I am planning a route I use waze, and I always suggest and inform people about its benefits. But Yesterday we had a very bad experience using it.
Our trip was from Vaduz to Grindelwald (Switzerland)
Waze always alarms about C- Zones, Toll roads at the beginning of choosing the route, ... and it did the same about vignette but the confusing thing is that it did not say that we have…1 vote -
Seamless Connectivity with Wireless Access Points
A wireless access point plays a vital role in modern networking by extending internet connectivity to multiple devices without the need for physical cables. Unlike a simple router, a wireless access point connects directly to a wired network and creates a wireless signal that laptops, smartphones, and other Wi-Fi–enabled devices can use. This makes it especially useful in offices, schools, and public spaces where consistent and widespread coverage is essential. By strategically placing a wireless access point in different areas, organizations can eliminate dead zones and ensure smooth connectivity for users moving from one location to another.
The flexibility…
