Love the new voice input. Can you please add a more specific option for lane closure/accident? For example, "accident in left lane".

switch car types in iOS
Hi, I’m using Waze both with my private car and with my motorcycle.
In Israel, the vehicle type actually affects the routing itself (motorcycles can legally use different lanes and routes), so switching quickly is very important.
Right now, every time I want to switch the vehicle type, I need to go deep into the Settings → Navigation menu, and it takes multiple taps.Is it possible to add a faster way to switch vehicle type?
For example:
• a quick toggle button on the main screen
• a Siri Shortcut / Shortcuts action
• or a URL scheme parameter that directly sets the vehicle type (car / motorcycle)This would save a lot of time for users who regularly switch between different vehicles.
Thank you

Simplify ability to mark roads as closed
There is a road closure near me which is not currently shown on Waze and Waze therefore keeps trying to route through this closure. I know it is there so why am I not able to simply mark a road as closed anywhere (ie not just when I am on a route)? Otherwise people will keep being routed towards a closure and the last thing they are thinking of when they are having to turn around and go a different way is to inform Waze about the closure. Seems such a simple fix and if you are worried about it being abused by people who would inform of closed roads as a joke, it could be verified by two or more users so that you know it is genuine.

Better head-up-display directions at roundabout
The head-up-display shows directions through waze in my VW ID.7. At roundabouts it shows an arrow, instead of (part of) a roundabout with which exit to take.

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)

Show temporary speed limits in construction zones
Temporary Speed Limits for Roadworks & Construction Zones
This suggestion aims to enhance road safety and improve the accuracy of Waze navigation by implementing a feature that displays temporary speed limits in real-time. These are the limits indicated by the yellow or orange signs on portable stands often found in road repair and construction zones.
Currently, Waze primarily relies on static, permanent speed limits for a given road segment. However, in areas with ongoing roadworks, the official speed limit is often temporarily reduced to ensure the safety of both drivers and road workers. Without this information being reflected in the app, Waze may still indicate the higher, permanent speed limit, which could lead to confusion and unsafe driving behavior.
How it would work:
Users could report a temporary speed limit change in a manner similar to reporting a road hazard or other alerts. A new category could be added to the reporting menu, such as "Temporary Speed Limit". The user would then be prompted to select the new, temporary speed limit and the length of the road segment affected.
Benefits of this feature:
• Increased Road Safety: By alerting drivers to lower speed limits in construction zones, Waze would help prevent accidents and protect the lives of both drivers and road workers. This is the primary and most critical benefit of this feature.
• Improved Navigation Accuracy: The app would provide more precise and up-to-date guidance, ensuring that the displayed speed limit matches the real-world conditions.
• Enhanced Community Participation: This feature would empower Waze users to contribute valuable, dynamic data, making the app even more responsive and community-driven. It would foster a sense of shared responsibility for road safety.
• Seamless User Experience: The implementation could be simple and intuitive. Once reported, the temporary speed limit would be displayed on the map, similar to how other reports (e.g., traffic jams, road closures) are shown. The system could be designed so that these temporary reports automatically expire after a certain period (e.g., 24-48 hours) to ensure the information remains current.
In summary, adding the ability to report and display temporary speed limits is a logical and crucial next step in making Waze the most comprehensive and safety-oriented navigation app. It addresses a real-world issue that affects millions of drivers daily and aligns perfectly with Waze's mission to outsmart traffic together. This feature would not only make navigation more accurate but, more importantly, would make our roads safer for everyone.Temporary Speed Limits for Roadworks & Construction Zones

It would be helpful if the current speed and the permitted speed could be displayed larger in the top right corner of the carplay display, or if their size could be adjusted on the carplay display. Often, both speeds are difficult to read because they're too small.

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,
