lane guidance
Dear Waze Team,
Good day, I am a user based in Malaysia. I have been using Waze as my primary navigation tool for many years and truly appreciate the innovation and convenience it provides. However, after years of usage, I have noticed a main feature where improvements could be made.
Before Waze became my go-to navigation app, I used PAPAGO GPS. One standout feature in PAPAGO was its lane guidance system. Upon approaching an exit, a pop-out window would display an image of the specific junction with arrows clearly indicating the correct lane to take. This visual aid was particularly helpful when navigating complex or overlapping flyovers in cities like Kuala Lumpur.
While Waze offers a basic lane guidance system with arrows, I feel it could be enhanced to match or exceed the clarity provided by older GPS systems. The lack of a detailed visual aid in Waze sometimes results in missing the correct exit, especially in busy urban environments.
Given that earlier GPS devices successfully implemented lane guidance with images, I wonder why this feature has been omitted in a modern, online GPS application like Waze in 2024.
Please don’t take my feedback as criticism; rather, it is shared out of a genuine appreciation for Waze and a desire to see it improve further. As a long-time user, I simply wanted to share my experience and suggestions for your consideration.

Accessibility
Suggestion:
Improve accessibility by offering larger and more legible text options for users with difficulty reading small, intricate, or black-colored fonts, as they appear in the current interface. Even with larger fonts and adjusted text styles enabled on my father's phone, the app doesn't adapt well to these settings, making it hard to read addresses and other details. I suggest implementing better accessibility features to address these needs.

Proximity voice chat
It would be nice and useful (and above all else fun) to have a proximity voice chat in close range with like 2-5km to communicate openly with others on the road :) It should be a user defined setting with off/contacts/open/etc options.

Drunk
Subject: Innovative Idea for Enhancing Road Safety- Reporting Drunk Drivers on Waze.
I propose adding a feature that allows users to report suspected drunk drivers directly through the app. Similar to how users can report hazards or police activity, a “Report Drunk Driver” button could alert nearby drivers of a potentially dangerous situation. This could help keep drivers safe by providing timely warnings and allow law enforcement to be notified for quicker intervention.
This feature could include:
• A Quick Reporting Option: Users could tap a button to report a suspected drunk driver, including the vehicle’s description and location.
• Real-Time Alerts: Waze could notify other drivers in the area to exercise caution, helping to prevent accidents.
• Integration with Law Enforcement: The information could be forwarded to local authorities for timely action, if necessary.I believe this feature aligns with Waze’s mission to improve road safety through community-based alerts, and it could be a game-changer for preventing accidents caused by impaired driving.

Change colour of car on “Vehicle on Shoulder” alert icon
When submitting a report and looking at the possible report types while driving. From the corner of one’s eye the “Vehicle on shoulder” alert icon and “Object” icons are very similar.
I suggest the colour of the vehicle in the “vehicle on shoulder” icon be changed to a different distinct colour that also accounts for colourblind people.
If the vehicle was blue or green for example it would be easier to quickly tell the icons apart. Otherwise I feel like I need to distract myself from driving to double check the description next to the icons before confirming the report.

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

Use clear, distinctive voices
I've been using Waze for a while, but the new voice in the UK is not clear; bland and muffled compared to the old one. Turning the volume is annoying, especially since this is only a recent problem.
Since it makes the directions indistinct, Waze is less useful than it was.
Since it's distracting to try to understand it, continuing to use Waze has become a safety issue.3 votes -
Driving with friends
I usually travel with my friends, each one with his own car, and we like to stick together. It will be useful if we can create a group of friends in app, to share a route for everybody to follow, to see the live location of every member of the group, to see their ETA to the meeting point, to alarm the group if something happens, to see if I leave the group's original route, to call the group for a rest stop.

Dark mode
Dark mode doesn't always work correctly according to the phone settings for whatever reason so just make a toggle on/off switch from the car display touchscreen. Do this yesterday as it's very needed.

“Back” button in Reports
I noticed that when you want to report something (hazard, blocked lane, police, etc…) sometimes I may press the wrong category for what I want to report, but there’s no “Back” button, only “Cancel”. But there’s problem with cancelling, that is you lose the exact location you passed and if you report again it may be misaligned.
There should be an option for a back button to search for other categories in case you misclicked in a category that is not the one you wanted to report initially. This way, the system still holds your “original” location when you pressed to report and the flag will be in the exact location because you didn’t cancel it.
I hope it’s understandable what I’m saying.
Thanks!

Kevin 'Bl**dy' Wilson Voicing directions
Hi Team,
As I live in country Australia, I'd love to have one of our icons, Kevin bloody Wilson, giving me directions. He is a bit of a legend in Australia for his comedic songs (although they can contain a bit of sexual content). I feel he would make a great addition to the lineup for us Aussies and I personal would get a good laugh at him!

Tagging editors in a map comment
It would be nice if there was a possibilty to tag an editor (e.g. an AM) in a map comment box. A type of alert can be a notification or an email, depending on the user's settings.

speed control
Instead of just a small circle of red around the speed when the driver is exceeding the limit, the entire screen could flash red . This would make it more obvious to the driver that they are speeding. Not all navigation screens are high set.
