How come there isnt a feature to "avoid crashes".
Several times I've been notified less then 1km from a collision, this does not leave me any time to change route. If the route knows there's a reported accident on your route, it could tell you to change routes to avoid, or ask of you want to. I would also like to see notifications way sooner then 1km, like 5 or even 10km.

Use A.I. to help us avoid missing a turn
I am sure that Waze is keeping data on our driving and routes. Why not use that data to assist us. If you find that two or more people miss the same turn . . . then do something about it!
Either give us multiple warnings as drivers approach the turn in the future or choose a different route avoiding that turn . . . or both.
This could help reduce the amount of times we have to make u turns and add additional time to our trips.3 votes -
route overview
Please add an option to see either a birds-eye overview or a turn-by-turn list (or both?) of the route Waze is taking me on.
Sometimes I know I want to avoid a particular road. So when Waze plots a route for me at the start, I can review the proposed alternate routes and choose one. But if I need to deviate from that route to make a side errand maybe, Waze will recalculate my route on the fly, going back to its #1 preferred route. If I'm not paying close attention, this sends me back over to the road I…

A button for HOV or non-HOV
There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

Pothole in specific lanes/ on shoulder and other stuff too
I want waze to say a couple of things
1. I like the idea of knowing where potholes are on the road but I would really like it if it said what lane it’s in and what shoulder it’s on that way I’m not noticing it at the last minute
2. I would really like it if waze said in 1,000 feet turn left or right onto this or that road I miss it when waze says that it would be really helpful for a lot of wazers imo2 votes -

Group and sort toll passes
Austria has a general highway pass ("Vignette"), which most people have. Due to alphabetic sorting, I have to scroll down past 55 particular permits that affect very few users. And there is a "Flex" Pass allowing for tunnels etc. not included in the highway pass to be charged to my credit card.
Such general passes (also for neighboring countries), as well as the Austrian Flex Pass and e.g. German Umweltplakete should be put on top of the list, so that they are found more easily.
Slovakia, Slovenia and Czechia are at least found at the end of the list, for…2 votes -
Avoid certain kind of roads. For example, I would like to avoid roads which name starts with T, or name of road has symbols 'T1'.
I would like to suggest some kind of filter: avoid roads which name starts with 'T', or name of road has symbols 'T1'. In most countries kind of road is 'encoded' in its name. Let's use that name for better navigation adjustments!

Full visual lane guidance (like TomTom or Sygic)
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding full visual lane guidance to Waze, similar to what TomTom or Sygic offer.This means showing all lanes clearly on the screen, with the correct lane highlighted using arrows or lines, not just a small icon or short instruction.
The current Direction card with a lane icon is helpful, but not enough, especially when driving on highways or in complex intersections.
A visual guide across the screen would make navigation safer and easier to follow – especially for less experienced drivers or tourists.
Please consider adding this feature in future updates.
Thank you!5 votes -
Object in roadway
Waze needs to specify which lane to avoid when warning about objects in the road. Add a lane selection when reporting the object and then add that info to the warning. I need to know which lane is safe to drive in.

I would like an "Avoid Left Turns" in addition to "Avoid Difficult Intersection" (in the US) along with additional time and distance.
I try to avoid them, anyway. But I am not aware of them on unfamiliar routes. I would like to see estimated differences in time and distance.to determine if the routes is worthwhile. I've wanted this feature for years and wondered why it is not already a feature..Not only can left turns be a hassle, but they are also inherently more dangerous..

Have the correct 407 toll price
At the moment Waze is showing a price of $13.24 to take the 407 from Pearson Airport to Brock Rd. But if you look at the price on the 407 app it shows $38.50. Please update the prices!

Lane-specific pothole alerts (show which lane the pothole is in)
A feature that allows users to report what lane a pothole (or other hazard) is in so that drivers can avoid hazards, vehicle damage, or bottlenecks in traffic that can happen as new vehicles approach the hazard and attempt to minimize impact.

Lane closure reports made easy
I'd like a report button that would indicate lane closures.
Could press to report the beginning of the lane closure, then press again to report the end.
Then you indicate whether it's the left, right, or center lane.
547 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Displaying the sections where the speed of travel from point A to point B is recorded by the cameras of the Toll system for vignettes.
Hello Bulgaria, but not only Bulgaria. Since the beginning of September 2025, the toll system that monitors purchased vignettes has started measuring average speed in certain sections of the road network.
Unfortunately, these road sections are not marked on the road itself, and drivers have no way of knowing that they are entering these sections.
The state, represented by the Road Agency and the Toll System, published a list and map on their website showing where these sections are located, and that was the end of the information on this change.
It is clear that the state is doing this…3 votesThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

Highlight 2 lane roads that have infrequent passing zones
There are several spots between Victorville, CA, and SR-145 that are only two lanes, one each way. My suggestion is to highlight/identify the sections or roads that are no-pass zones. Roads like this, where there me several miles between passing lanes? Change the color to flashing read, or something. ;-)
Contact me if you have questions.
Almost every time I travel this way I have someone tailgating, wanting to pass me (and I'm already going over the posted limit), and sometimes they pass or try to pass in no-pass zones and I've seen several near misses.I know…
