Choose a different warning!
Hey Waze,
When giving a Warning and using 'WATCH OUT!!!!" as the alert , its over kill . This is used when there's a car
on the side of the road/Hwy , it's tooooo over the top for a simple " There's a car on the side of the road"
or Caution, car on the side if the road.Use 'WATCH OUT!!!" sparingly, like a flipped over car ahead, or horses in the middle of the road ( or sheep, or deer or, dogs, or ___________________ fill in the blank.
WATCH OUT ( for me) is startling. We get enough of that just listening to the news!

To be able to change font size in the interface of the map
Recent updates have make the fint of the waze interface in android auto way to small, specially in the map, I cannot see very week the names of the road, to me it's very important, and specially because I use glasses to drive, but even with my glasses on, I cannot see very well, I would love to have an option to be able to change the size of the font to see better the names of the road, specially in android auto.

Bonjour
il pourrait être utile de rajouter un réglage pour voiture sans permis ? Je pense que ça faciliterait les déplacements des adolescents.

Add Support for Mopeds, Bicycles & Moped Speed Checks (Known as Rollerbanks)
I suggest adding support for mopeds and bicycles as selectable vehicle types in Waze, allowing users to receive more accurate routes tailored to bike lanes and moped-accessible roads. Additionally, introducing a report option for roadside speed checks specific to mopeds (commonly known as "rollerbanks" in some regions) would greatly benefit two-wheeler users by improving route awareness and promoting fair, transparent traffic monitoring.

Routes via specific road
Plan or change a route to use a specific road ie. a specific interstate road, state road, local road, so the route will go specifically how you want to drive it. Many times the suggested routes are not the best. One knows this after having driven a certain route multiple times. Waze does not know this.

Waze for Trucking
We should have the option to input our clearance height and weight restriction to avoid routes that we can’t navigate. When the gps sends us down a wrong street with bridges with weight restrictions or towards an overpass with low clearance, it’s hard to find a turnaround point. Restricted points can be easily sourced through driver submissions to verify information in that area. There’s been plenty of times that I finish my route and the trucking app we used will automatically kick me out to where I can’t navigate using a predetermined GPS, so I opt to use Waze, but it’ll try to send me down car routes when I need 14ft of clearance and can’t go down routes with a limit of 2,5t. Adding these options would expand Waze to allow truckers to also use it for their routes

Searching during navigating with carplay
I think the worst thing about Waze is searching for a stop on your existing route.
You click on gas stations and it comes up with a list. Not helpful while driving. Especially when those are not directly on the route. They could be behind you or far off the actual route.
I use Google maps a lot more for local trips because of this feature. You need to add a stop on the route…whether it’s gas or an address and when you put that in. It shows 5 locations on the actual map so you can physically how far they are on or off the route.
The list isn’t helpful. Please fix!!

Disable automatic Update Request route reporting on higher level roads.
Under certain circumstances, Waze seems to automatically submit automatic reports - but there seem to be too many of them (big time cost for editors that process and respond to URs following up for feedback, generally no response from the "reporter" because they didn't report anything themselves).
This specific request is to disable "Incorrect route", "Incorrect turn" or other similar problems on higher-level divided roads (Motorway, Major Highway, Minor Highway). When we have roadworks, the roads authority will often set up contraflow lanes on the opposing direction's roadway. This seems to produce numerous automated reports that have no value (because it isn't a routing problem, the work doesn't meet the criteria for a closure, and altering the map to show the segments being used as two-way temporarily would be inappropriate).

Emergency Route Mode
"Emergency Route Mode" – a new Waze feature that instantly calculates the fastest route in urgent situations, bypassing all preferences (tolls, traffic, dirt roads, rural routes, highways, etc.). It builds user trust in real time, strengthens brand loyalty, and opens strong monetization channels via smart emergency ads, premium upgrades, and city partnerships.

Roundabout
A few updates back, when editing roundabouts instructions, the forced TTS available for edition when changing to Turn Left or Turn Right changed from "on the roundabout turn left" & "on the roundabout turn right" to "in 50 meters turn left" & "in 50 meters turn right", leaving left off the information "on the roundabout".
Could you consider improving that information for TTS "lovers" or "needers" and add again "on the roundabout" TTS to the string?
Thank you

Scooby Doo Mystery Machine
I'm confident that the Mystery Machine van from the Scooby Doo cartoons would be a very popular car icon, not only with Boomers and Gen X'ers but with every generation!
You could also create a fun Scooby Doo Theme as an available option.3 votes -
HGV and other vehicles
It would be really useful to have vehicle options for the weight and size of your vehicle. I.e HGV as this would really help with knowing a better ETA time me as lorries have to go slower and also plan the route for HGVs over 7.5 ton

Add more stops
Add more stop points as many people have long routes like 1500km and want to stop at many towns.
With Google maps you can plan long trips with many stops.
It makes it difficult to add places the entire time while driving.

Alternate routes options
possibility for drivers to share different routes.
For example.
I work in a high traffic jam / high accident area.
When I bring Waze up.
It only gives me an option for 3 direct routes.
Despite their being back road options or other possibilities.
I would love if there was an option for the driver to submit alternatives.
Or :
choose from other alternatives.3 votes
