Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)
Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
• Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
• Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
• Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
• Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their phone screen.
• Provide audible alerts for all types of cameras (speed cameras, red-light cameras, mobile speed traps, school zone cameras, bus lane cameras, etc.), not just fixed speed cameras.
• This would greatly improve driver safety and focus on the road, especially for professional drivers who cannot afford distractions.
3. Truck and Bus Navigation
• Add full navigation support for all classes of heavy vehicles, including:
• Light Rigid (LR)
• Medium Rigid (MR)
• Heavy Rigid (HR)
• Heavy Combination (HC)
• Multi-Combination (MC)
• All categories of buses.
• Include truck- and bus-specific routing options, such as avoiding low bridges, restricted roads, weight limits, and bus-only roads.
• Many drivers who rely on Waze for personal car trips would also like to use Waze for their professional work in trucks and buses, but currently, Waze does not fully meet these needs.
4. Professional Driver Use Case
• Waze has a huge opportunity to support professional drivers (truckers, bus drivers, delivery drivers, etc.) who want the same smart navigation and community-based alerts they enjoy in their cars.
• Expanding features to include heavy vehicle navigation and more robust audible alerts would make Waze not only the best app for personal use but also the top choice for professional driving.Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):

Move hazard button
The hazard button should be moved from right of display screen to left for CarPlay. Currently I have a wide display that requires me to lean just to reach it.
It also should be made a bit bigger as it’s hard to hit it with the leaning.

Make the speedometer floating
Make the speedometer floating so that it is "pushed up" rather than obscured by alerts which is when you need the speed display the most

Allow the ability to remove the Work category from the list
It would be great if there was the ability to either remove the Work category, or change the order of categories to put Work at the end so that places that are used more frequently can be moved to the front.
Many people are retired or work from home, so the Work category is just a nuisance to have there.3 votes -
Avoid low emissions zones button
An avoid low emissions zones button would be helpful for the drivers of pre 2016 non euro 6 diesel vehicles.
I intend to visit Edinburgh and Dundee in the summer both of which have low emissions zones. For me Birmingham and Bristol low emissions zones also need to be avoided.3 votes -
Add vehicle’s height
Hi
I think that adding a feature to your waze account where you can choose your car height would help you by driving in adjusted roads and driving eventually in a more accurated path3 votes -

Bring Back These Three Icons
The classic Waze icon (with the U turn mouth) was adorable. I miss it. I would love to see it return as an app icon option in the iOS app.
Also, I miss the ability to set my Wazer icon as a Duck or Wembley from Fraggle Rock. I would love to se both of those return as options.

Waze sleeping mode shortcut for ios shortcuts
Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?
I am using apple shortcut to start waze when I connect my phone to the bluetooth headset in my car. I am using navigation everytime I enter my car and looking for any way how to close waze, or stop location services - sleeping mode or any other solution to stop draining my battery. In apple shorcuts is no way to close app. There are several waze shortcuts but all of them is related to navigate somewhere, add point etc. No possiblity to close waze, or prevent using power consuming GPS locationing on the background.
So I every day when I am leaving the car I have to switch off or sleep the app manually.Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?

Add a temporary traffic light option
For example, when there is road work, they put up temporary traffic lights, so add the option for people to report it.

Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay
Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay. If we have to look at main screen for lane guidance, it makes the heads up useless, because many cars have heads up display as the main source of navigation for driver.

Adjust routes
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitations:
- Add the ability to manually edit a route with multiple intermediate stops
Waze usually finds good routes, but sometimes I want to manually adjust it — set 2–3 waypoints, fix the path myself, and avoid places I don’t want to pass. Right now, it’s not possible to fully customize a route this way.
- Allow starting a route from a different location (not current GPS location)
In Ukraine, GPS can be unreliable or blocked in certain areas. Sometimes I just want to plan a route starting from another location (for a friend, or for later travel). Currently, this isn’t possible in Waze, unless GPS is active and working.
Please consider adding these features — they would make Waze much more flexible and powerful, especially for experienced users.
Thanks for all the great work you do!
Best regards, Dmytro.

Mostrar en pantalla de forma anticipada el nombre de la próxima calle que se atravesará cuando se está navegando sin destino prefijado
Si bien todas las calles tienen nombre, durante la navegación no siempre es visible el nombre de la calle en el tramo exacto que uno está atravesando, lo que obliga a mover manualmente el mapa para identificarla. Esto, cuando uno está manejando, resulta incómodo y hasta riesgoso.
Una funcionalidad que tenía Garmin y que sería muy útil incorporar es la siguiente:
mostrar en pantalla, de forma anticipada (por ejemplo, unos 100 metros antes), el nombre de la próxima calle que se va a cruzar, independientemente de si hay que doblar o no. Esto se mostraba en un pequeño rectángulo en una esquina de la pantalla, y permitía confirmar si el cruce que se aproxima es el que uno espera.Esta información, ayudaría mucho a anticipar maniobras con mayor seguridad y confianza, especialmente en ciudades con señalización poco clara.

map zooms out and centers wrongly when driving along minor roads
lately the map zooms out and the arrow indicating my car "centers" itself upwards on the screen when driving along small roads, making it very hard to determine the proximity and distance of the next turn. it's only been for the past week and still having this issue. I did not change any of my settings it just randomly happened starting last week onwards. the same issue happens even on my different phone with a different Waze account. when driving, the arrow that represents your car should be near the bottom edge of the map, not somewhere center or high-center of the map. this only happens when driving along smaller roads. please fix this.

Draw your own way
I want to be able to draw the exact route I want with my finger — just like on a paper map.
Currently, Waze overrides my preferences by rerouting me through inner-city traffic, risking ZTL fines and unnecessary stress.
Please allow users to freely draw a route and let Waze support us within that path, not override it.
Sometimes the smartest tool is the one that listens — not the one that insists.
