Avoid roads with 70 km/h speed limit in France
I’m currently driving a sans permis car in France, which has a maximum speed of only 45 km/h. That’s why having the option to avoid roads with a 70 km/h speed limit is incredibly helpful for drivers like me. On these roads, it’s common to see cars not only reaching the speed limit but often exceeding it. They go so fast that it’s impossible for me to keep up with the flow of traffic. Honestly, it stresses me out every time I find myself on one of these roads.

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)…

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 -
Need way to edit one lane bridge, due to long term construction, causes two way traffic to wait, traffic lights on ramps and road
Need way to edit/show one lane bridge, especially due to long term construction. Current situation causes two way traffic to wait while traffic lights on ramps and road cycle to allow only one ramp or roadway lane to proceed at a time from any direction.
No existing Waze edit function to mark local bridge that is under repairs and causing traffic delays. How can we show detour? All traffic is now funneled through one lane on bridge one traffic direction/lane at a time. No edit function to indicate this to warn drivers to avoid bridge, at least not for level…

Add Engine Brake Use Warnings so Truck Drivers can avoid fines.
Route 222 (northbound and southbound) from the intersections of Snyder Road north to Evansville Road, has a Brake Retarder Ordinance (Article VIII, §186-54), which imposes fines of $300 to $1,000 on drivers who abuse engine brakes. I think it would be great to put a warning on the map so if a truck driver is heading into this area, they will know not to use them and avoid heavy fines. Plus, it will help keep our neighborhoods quieter.

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.

Heads up display issues
I regularly use Android Auto which integrates nicely with my BMW's heads up display. When using Waze, there are two issues I notice immediately. The first are the suggested lanes is not displayed, yet Google Maps will show the lanes. Also, when a specific font is used, the characters don't show correctly. Instead I get question marks. I have images to share, but don't know how through this site.

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 -
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…

When WAZE reports debris in the road it should say left, right, or center. I had a bumper in the center lane of the interstate and missed it
Want WAZE to say where debris is located in the road. Right lane center or left. Then we would know to change lanes. Almost hit a bumper twice in the center lane at dusk would have been a major accident but thanks to WAZE I got past it. But a heads up for the lane would help. I was doing 75 on the interstate at the time

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.
75 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

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…

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.

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.

We need the road blocked button back. There is no way of signalling that a road is blocked and no way through.
There used to be a road blocked button. Now only lanes blocked. I have numerous examples of Waze showing a route through a blocked road. Alerts on road works or lanes blocked but still we a guided through where a road is blocked.

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.

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.
