1. worrisome design trends lately

   I'm noticing some worrisome design trends lately in Waze, please don't ruin an app that was almost perfect as it was!

   Examples:
   1) forcing Google Assitant down our throats, when the voice recognition Waze used before was flawless;
   2) those arrows on top (lane guidance) telling which lane to use are completely unnecessary and redundant and take up screen real estate;
   3) the new speed camera warning in white down below is ugly af, contrasts with my dark color scheme, and again, takes up valuable screen real estate unnecessarily and reduces the part of the map we see, it was perfect before.

   All these pointless changes and few others lead me to believe that there's a new designer in charge who somehow needs to justify his salary with bogus and unnecessary modifications that only ruin the app.

2. Alert for run-down animals

   English: We members of a robotics team created a new Waze alert. Imagine how much will be feasible alert when someone saw or trampled an animal? Usually the people don’t know what do when they trample an animal, if the Waze has this option the rescue of these animals will be easier of be accomplished and the animals will not die for staying for a long time waiting to they be ransomed.
   Will have an animal run-off alert (just as they already exist the camera alerts, per example) when the user to click on this alert he will notify if the animal is wild, domestic or if he could not identify, and if is a large or small animal.
   As in accidents the user also will be able to take a picture or comment something. The environmental police and the fire department (that are the organs that rescue the animals run down) will use the live map, which is already a resource available in the website, to do the rescues.
   What do you think of the idea?

   Portuguese: Nós integrantes de uma equipe de robótica criamos um novo alerta para o Waze. Imagina o quão será viável alertar quando alguém visse ou atropelasse um animal? Geralmente as pessoas não sabem o que fazer quando atropelam um animal, se o Waze tiver esta opção o resgate destes animais será mais fácil de ser realizado e os animais não morrerão por ficar muito tempo esperando para serem resgatados.
   Haverá um alerta de atropelamento de animal (assim como já existe os de radares, por exemplo) quando o usuário clicar neste alerta ele notificará se o animal é silvestre, doméstico ou se não conseguiu identificar, e se o animal é de grande ou pequeno porte. Assim como em acidentes o usuário também poderá tirar foto ou comentar algo. A polícia ambiental e o corpo de bombeiros (que são os órgãos que resgatam os animais atropelados) utilizarão o mapa ao vivo que já é um recurso disponível no site, para fazer os resgates.
   O que vocês acham da ideia?

   Hey, 

   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!

3. In-app option to turn off familiarity capping

   Give the users the option to always display Speed Cameras and Hazards that familiarity capping would otherwise remove from the display.

4. Past Reports of Mobile Speed Cameras Alert

   With the recent addition of giving an alert to the user when a certain area has a "History of Accidents". Something similar should be done with mobile speed cameras where an alert comes up stating that the certain area that the user has entered has had previous reports of mobile speed cameras vans. I dont just mean being able to report Mobile Speed Cameras, as that already exists. I'm talking about an alert popping up as there has been numerous reports, can be from the day before to a month before.

5. Implement reporting of badly fixed issues by moderators

   To allow reporting when a moderator will check an issue as solved, even though he didn't change something. Maybe an option to attach an image will be good confirmation of the true situation at the disputed location.

   This is a big issue in my town of Skopje, as there are speed camera alerts on many intersections and only some of them are true. The reported issues go to a couple moderators which are not very effective in their work.

6. Screen space landscape

   The landscape view of the map has too many things on screen. The black navigation pane covers the speed limit and the speed camera alert also covers most of the screen. I am using larger font sizing as my eyes aren't great and the scaling makes this situation even worse.

   Can the screen space be arranged so items don't cover each other in landscape.

   Maybe a new set of icons/thin banner on the "side" instead of going along the whole "bottom" of the screen when in landscape.

   Also Samsung phone has polarised screen to help viewing in sunlight but with sunglasses (when driving) this makes the screen unusable in portrait. So forced to use waze in landscape. Therefore landscape needs to be arranged better.

   I have screenshots demonstrating the issue clearly but can post photos in this forum... please reach out so I can send through the photos

7. show nearest petrol station prices as alerts

   The way that you alert could be used to provide proximity alerts that show the nearest fuel/petrol station and the prices. This could be an option that is configured for those that want the alert (on) and those that do not want it shown (off).
   A much easier way to update the price would be welcome e.g. use the front facing camera to recognize the prices and translate to an auto update would be cool.

9. Allow users to edit Toll road times (general)

   In Stockholm roads have toll during week days and then business hours (diff. price throughout the day). Week ends are free as well as evenings. Also bank holidays are free and days before certain bank holidays.
   With the general setting today Waze will avoid toll roads (if set to avoid) on times when no toll exist.

   Either move toll setting to destination setting page or improve map edit to include whereabouts of the toll camera/device and time schedule incl. price.

10. Potential Mobile Speed Trap Location Alert

    There are many locations where Police Camera vans stay. These are often the same location, and often around bends so its too late once they see you. You should add to the map, just like with speed cameras, potential mobile speed trap. This would allow everyone to be alert at all times, then if the vans are there, Wazers can further report Police just as usual. This would prevent speeding earlier on rather than when someone finally reports the presence of police. For example, this could be done by adding a new icon e.g. a van symbol, with an audio alert saying 'potential mobile speed trap location ahead'. Locations can be reported by Wazers which can then be added or by looking at available data such as Police Scotland's mobile van location maps. I believe this would greatly improve the experience for all Wazers!

    February 27 driving north thru Wrens, Georgia, I was clocked at 46 in a 35 school zone for an $80 ticket. How can I get this permanent camera, operating an hour before and after school hours, logged into the Waze system?. I can send aa copy of the ticket for your input with location details etc. It's been reported they issued 178 tickets in the first week of operation. Picture of the car but not the driver, is this a legit ticket?

    Thanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

12. Registration plate recognition and automatic tagging of police vehicles

    Due to the proliferation of unmarked police cars and unmarked mobile speed cameras (parked cars) with no warning signs, it is now necessary to take it one step further and use the video feed from dash cams (both front and rear) and character recognition to automatically tag a police vehicle by its registration plate (after that registration plate has been manually tagged). If a user is travelling with that vehicle, the vehicle's location would be updated live. Once that user breaks away from the police vehicle, the location would then be picked up and updated live by other Waze users who have detected the tagged registration plate.

    To manually tag a registration plate, the user would report a police vehicle as normal, but the next screen might list all the current registration plates in view and the user would simply click a button next to the appropriate pre-filled selection. It might even be possible to take a snapshot of the front/rear dashcam views when the "report" button was selected so that the user can manually fill out the registration plate later on, when it is safe to do so (i.e when stopped).

    The system could work on "votes" where as long as the number of "thumbs up" votes exceed the "thumbs down" votes, the registration plate is linked as being a police vehicle. This would also ensure that the police themselves couldn't un-tag their registration plates.

    It may also increase the accuracy of tagging. If a tagged plate is no longer where it was last seen (perhaps after a set period of time, or if the plate is seen elsewhere), it will automatically be removed from that location and would reappear when the next user's Waze picks up the plate's new location.

    I believe this could potentially help save lives, not only because it will make drivers more aware of police vehicles and drive more carefully, but also because they will be less likely to be taken by surprise as their dashcam will be able to automatically recognise a parked vehicle as being an unmarked police car or mobile speed camera. Drivers are sometimes prone to behaving erratically when they suddenly realise a parked car is a mobile speed camera, whether they are speeding or not, and will slam on their brakes and/or drive well under the speed limit. Hopefully this feature will reduce the likelihood of this happening.

13. Waze user to be able to edit or delete his own incorrect report location

    Why cant a wazer that reports a camera or police position edit his own report if he makes a mistake? Its hard to accurately report such things whilst driving and passing the location, not to mention illegal. I wont report now as I made a mistake and couldn't edit or remove the incorrect report. Please can we have this feature in a future update to enable new wazers to accurately use the report feature and in turn promote wazers confidence and a more accurate location reporting. I was so embarrassed when I made the false report that I haven't dared to try it again. Regards

14. Crosswalk Alert (Visual + Optional Voice)

    Marked pedestrian crosswalks are among the highest-risk points where vehicles and pedestrians interact, especially at night, during poor weather, or in areas with weak lighting.

    Introducing a Crosswalk Alert — a small on-screen icon with an optional short voice cue such as “Pedestrian crossing ahead” — would provide drivers with earlier situational awareness without affecting routing. Activated only on verified crosswalks, this alert would function similarly to existing permanent notifications such as speed bump warnings, hazard alerts, camera notifications, and other fixed safety cues.

    Such an alert would reduce reaction-time delays, improve driver readiness in limited-visibility areas, and help prevent common collision scenarios at pedestrian crossings. Overall, this represents a low-complexity yet high-impact enhancement that directly strengthens Waze’s hazard-prevention capabilities and improves safety for all road users.

15. calculated average speed of average speed segment

    There are some road segments which have average speed cameras. Almost always the human beings unable to calculate average speed, so instead they simply don't exceed the enforced speed, the max speed, not average. In case if there are obstructions, slow vehicles, turning vehicles in the average speed segment, the real average speed may fall significantly below what was requested by Road Code rules.
    Please add indicator of calculated average speed of passing of the current average speed segment

16. SpeedCamera Notification (Close) to be moved

    When there is a speed camera, a box appears showing how far away it is, but it covers the information box for:
    • how much time is left to reach the destination
    • how much distance is left to the destination
    • what time you will arrive at your destination

    I like the notification, but I don’t like that it covers this information. Maybe make it smaller, like a circle, or move it so it doesn’t cover the destination details.

    There should be an option for us to choose from.

18. Road Colouring on Average Speed Check Zone

    When driving in an average speed check zone, Waze doesn’t say when you have left it - so can be driving for miles past the end.
    Can Waze change the colour or pattern of the road to show drivers when they are in the zone and not just passing the cameras.

19. Allow more granular control over notifications

    I'd love to be able to adjust my notifications a bit more specifically than I can currently. For example, I want to turn off chit-chat notifications, and I'd love to have both an audio and visual notification for red light/speeding cameras, police, and severe traffic.
