  1. Remote control

    As Spotify giving you the option to play a song on a phone from a different phone I want Waze to do that as well.
    Example: I have an iPhone 8 sitting in my armrest on the snap-in and connected to carplay. On a second iPhone I am connected with the same account and I want to write the address on my second phone to not get the iphone out of the snap-in and so on. Don’t have a touchscreen headunit.
    Also, when will Waze gives you the lane assist in BMW cluster while connected to carplay?

  3. 200 meter alert

    Waze is great, but the turn announcements aren't as good as my 2006 Garmin Nuvi. They tend to be at 5 minutes, 1 mile, and right now! Several times, I have let my guard down and been in the wrong lane and unable to turn at the "turn right" cue immediately before an exit. A time/speed/distance based "turn coming" reminder at about 200 meters would be very helpful.

  4. he Washington State Department of Transportation now provides real-time toll rates for the I-405 express toll lanes as a publicly available

    The Washington State Department of Transportation now provides real-time toll rates for the I-405 express toll lanes as a publicly available live data stream for software developers. The API is publicly available here: http://wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/api/ , along with several other live data streams including traffic flow, travel times, and highway cameras.

    We would love to see this data integrated into the Waze app to help drivers make more informed choices about their route options.

    The I-405 express toll lanes let drivers choose a more reliable trip by paying a toll on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Toll…

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

  5. iPhone Vs Android. Detailed Directions on iPhone, missing on Andoid.

    When plugged in via USB an iPhone shows the map on car display and detailed instructions on the iPhone display. Android phone shows map on car display but a blue screen on the phone display, why? Show directions on Android instead of a stupid blue screen! This app is superior on iPhone for that reason. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Blows my mind this feature is not in Android. I want to know 4-5 streets in advanced where I'm going and the turns I need to make so I can get into the proper lane ahead of time.

  7. טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה

    הבעיה:
    הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
    בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
    הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
    Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
    🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"
    ⏳ "המתן עוד 90…

  8. Adapting waze to silent mode (features needed)

    I prefer to use waze in silent mode,
    but what is missing in that state is the warning on time.

    1. i need that when i give a snap look at the app it will tell me that the turn is close.
      currently i cant understand in a snap look at the app what the scale of the lane. am i few km away from a turn or just 800 meters.
      you can achieve that by changing the blue line lane when you get closer to the junction. maybe add on it small lines that marks the turn. change its…

  10. Option to avoid country lanes in UK.

    They are annoying to me and rarely Eta gets amended when I avoid them.

    An option to avoid them would make me actually use Waze again.

  11. Get some ideas from the Tom Tom app to make Waze more user friendly.

    I like using this app when I travel, it would be even better if the app had some of the qualities like the Tom Tom app, for example it lets you know when it’s time to get ready to make a turn on the correct road it starts flashing instead of counting down like the Waze app does. I think a flash would be more visible or something that lets you know it’s time to turn instead of a count down. I’ve missed my turn a few times because of this and if it would let you know what lane

  12. Enable drawing polygon areas where Closures cannot be applied

    Use-case:

    There is a bridge under construction where only one direction is open at a time, controlled by traffic lights. Currently, Waze often shows it as closed, even though cars are just waiting for the light to change.

    Proposal:

    Add a feature in WME to draw a polygon-shaped area where closures cannot be applied — useful for cases like temporary one-lane bridges with traffic lights, where Waze should display a queue instead of a closure.

  13. How do I update the Waze maps it uses. I have a turn lane that Waze doesn't recognize and programs an alternate route that is impractical.

    When I leave my complex, there is only a right turn. So to go the opposite direction a U turn must be made. Waze doesn't have the convenient place to U turn in it's maps. How do I amend the maps to include it.

  14. ALERTA PARA FAIXA DUPLA/TRIPLA NA BR -- ALERT FOR DOUBLE/TRIPLE BAND IN BR

    Gostaria de sugerir que o aplicativo informe no mapa quando o carro estiver próximo de uma faixa dupla/tripla na BR. Esta função pode evitar ultrapassagens desnecessárias na BR quando o usuário do aplicativo estiver viajando. Diversas vezes quando viajo, vejo motoristas desesperados para ultrapassarem caminhões, principalmente à noite. E em algumas destas vezes, poucos metros depois nos deparamos com a faixa dupla/tripla na estrada, o que torna a ultrapassagem desnecessária naquele momento. Dessa forma, fica a minha sugestão para inserir um aviso, do mesmo modo que ocorre com as sinalizações de radar nas estradas. Desde já, agradeço.


    I would suggest…

  15. Sharing phone accelerometer data as an early warning to slow

    Imagine being able to see around corners to know that someone has just braked really hard up ahead
    or swerved lanes? Waze could collect acceleration data and use it as an early warning to cars behind.

    The DriveScore app uses the same phone accelerometer data to provide personal driving style feedback to the owner. But wouldn't it be so much better to share it with the cars nearby?

    As an example, if every driver in lane 3 of a motorway is slowing, changing lanes then speeding up again at the same static location, there will likely be a…

  16. Context-Aware Voice Instructions

    To improve the clarity and relevance of voice instructions in Waze, I propose integrating advanced contextual awareness into the navigation system. This feature would include:

    Detailed Contextual Cues

    1.  Landmark-Based Instructions:
    • Incorporate landmarks and notable points of interest into navigation prompts. For example, “Once you go past the Costa Coffee on your right, prepare to turn right” or “After you pass the second set of traffic lights, switch to the left lane and prepare for a left turn.”
    2.  Milestone Guidance:
    • Provide instructions based on specific milestones in the journey. For instance, “Continue straight until you reach the

  17. Remove achievement points after reporting

    Again my main goal is to improve the app and the safety in the traffic.
    After reporting a hazard, a car on shoulder a speed trap or else the app immediately shows the points I received for this report. The big problem is, that in that time the report-button is not shown and can't be used. So if I have to make two reports in short time for example a roadwork and a car on shoulder or I want to report that the left AND the middle lane is blocked I have to look almost 10 seconds on my phone…

  18. Would be nice to be able to have waze reread the current next direction ahead at the tap of the icon. See details below...

    Let's say you are on a busy highway and you're listening to music, forgot what the direction has read aloud. Instead of having to look down at the map and read "in 1.2 miles stay in the second to right lane to exit 52 for i-295 south" it would be great if you could tap the directions that are your very next ones in the top left box and have it reread them out loud. Less time looking at the screen so it's safer and you can listen to them as many times as you want if you're forgetful.
