Ability to add an E-Z Pass discount
Where I live there are E-Z Pass discount programs depending on where you live. For example, because I live in a certain town, I get a discount on one of the tolls that I have to drive to get out of town. Normally, the toll is $1.25 but I only have to pay 10 cents. I feel like Waze often doesn't suggest that route because there is a large toll but for me there isn't so I'd rather go that way than a round about way to avoid the toll. And yes, I do know about the setting…

I-95 South of Washington DC
Waze does not recognize the EZ Pass lanes that change direction during the day. When using these lanes, Waze continually directs you to exit these lanes and move to the permanently North or South lanes. It’s very distracting and should be corrected.

AVOID WARNING OF NEED TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY ON.
When using via Android-Auto, the vehicle's lights status is already recognized for switching between day and night display mode. You can use this knowledge of the lights status to avoid warning of the need to turn on lights when the lights are already on, and alert only when they are switched off.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my old…5 votes -

Bonjour, Il serait judicieux que soit ajouté à Waze des annonces vocales lors de changement de limitation de vitesse sur les voies express
Bonjour,
Il serait judicieux que soit ajouté à Waze des annonces vocales lors de changement de limitation de vitesse sur les voies express ou grands axes routiers ( passage de 110 à 90 par exemple) car trop souvent les panneaux sont masqués à cause du trafic et il est très facile de se faire prendre par un radar mobile ou aux jumelles. Merci bonne journée2 votes -
Has Waze ended its feature in Costa Rica to avoid the license plate restriction zone around San Jose?
Reinstate feature in Costa Rica that allows drivers to list the last two numbers of their license plates to avoid the restricted zone around San Jose.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

Add Road Surface Quality Layer (like OsmAnd) to Avoid Poor Roads
Currently Waze shows real-time hazards like potholes, but there's no permanent layer showing overall road surface quality (asphalt condition, gravel, smoothness).
Many apps like OsmAnd use OpenStreetMap 'surface' and 'smoothness' tags to color-code roads: green=smooth asphalt, yellow=rough, red=gravel/dirt. This helps plan routes avoiding bumpy secondary roads, especially in Hungary/Europe where road quality varies wildly.
Feature request:
Add toggleable 'Road Quality' layer in map settings.
Show road types: paved/smooth, paved/rough, unpaved, etc.
Route planner option: 'Avoid poor surface roads'.
Use community-edited data (OSM + Waze reports).
This would make Waze perfect for long trips with low-clearance cars (like hybrids)…

HOV Lane Exit Notifications at Every HOV exit
When using a route with an HOV Lane, Waze defaults to telling the driver to exit the HOV Lane at every HOV Lane Exit on the route, even though the HOV Lane is available on the entire route.
The driver should only be alerted to exit the HOV Lane if it's the exit they need to take because there is no HOV off-ramp, or there is an issue in the HOV Lane ahead of them.The exit notifications have caused me to miss a freeway transition roads since Waze doesn't want anyone using the HOV Lanes.

Lane Guidance on Roundabouts
When approaching a roundabout in the UK, waze will not tell me which lane I need to be in, to take my desired exit.
This is something that Google maps does so WELL! Please consider adding this on waze.

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

Avoid exchange of gasoline and diesel price
When reporting the fuel prices, by error some users enter the gasoline price in the place of the diesel price and vice versa.
Of course this is misleading for other users when comparing the fuel prices.Hence, my proposal is that, when a user enters a gasoline price that is lower than the diesel prices, the user get prompted to check whether the prices have been entered exchanged.

Single lane/double lane countdown
For roads that switch between single lane and double lane (in the same direction) forth and back, it would be nice to have a counter indicating how long it is left to next switch.
These kind of roads are common on the swedish country side.

Lane based time estimates / estimated times based on destinations, exit ramp backups
This one's a tricky one to explain. Sometimes, I'm on a highway, and Waze's suggested route goes out onto a very backed-up exit ramp that backs up a half-mile before the actual exit ramp begins, occuping the right lane of the road, even while the other travel lanes are moving at full speed.
I'm trying to figure out if this skews the traffic routing and travel time estimations. Yes, the highway is backed up and traveling at 2 MPH, but only in the right lane where that exit is backed up half a mile. If you're in the center or…

Avoid stop signs! Sometimes is faster the paraller road, because it has a few stops signs!!
I know that waze finds the fastest route, but sometime that street has a lot of Stop signs, and the parallel street doesnt have any, so is faster!! Maybe for a future you could add the stop signs to the maps!! For you to take note: In Costa Rica there isn't 4 stop ways or 3 stop way, in an intersection, here there is always a road who has the way, and the other has the stop sign. Srry for my english, isnt my native language!!
