weather and traffic on the same map. Inter-phase gps and weather radar. I am an avid boater and do it all the time.
Common occurrence on the water. Weather overlay on GPS. Route, traffic and weather on the same screen.

Show traffic and reports not only on routes in the recommended route selection screen
When Waze displays available routes, it only shows traffic and warnings along the routes, not near the routes themselves. It would be helpful if it showed traffic and warnings at least near the recommended routes so I could understand why it's sending me down one road rather than another, like Google Maps.

Waze should monitor neighbor hoods and cities who advocate 'traffic calming' and no right turn signs. So waze can be even more effective

Added icons response vehicle's that transmit to the intelligent traffic system
Add icons for tow trucks and roadside response vehicle that have ability to report to the smart traffic management system. I use the pi-link system that reports to waze and maps, however I show on map as a car on shoulder, not an emergency tow response. I work with odot and multiple law enforcement agencies. The more warning drivers have the more likely I am not going to be another emergency responder hit by another motorist

cut-through traffic on residential streets
Jackson Boulevard in Nashville, TN -- no businesses, churches or schools on this 1 1/2-mile long, residential street. AT THE VERY LEAST, warn Waze clients, when they're redirected through neighborhoods, THAT THEY ARE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH CHILDREN.

Matrix signs in the app : The digital traffic signs (matrix signs) are above the motorway. The actual information of these signs can be used

Speed and red light cameras and other cameras
Is it possible if waze said for speed and red light cameras and other cameras to say where any camera is in 1 mile not in 0.2 miles because that way people would get a heads up and not panic and not slam on the brakes cause that can be dangerous

Enable drawing polygon areas where Closures cannot be applied
Use-case:
There is a bridge under construction where only one direction is open at a time, controlled by traffic lights. Currently, Waze often shows it as closed, even though cars are just waiting for the light to change.
Proposal:
Add a feature in WME to draw a polygon-shaped area where closures cannot be applied — useful for cases like temporary one-lane bridges with traffic lights, where Waze should display a queue instead of a closure.

Turn on lights
When you arrive to junction, the system announce "turn right" or "turn left", it is better that it will say " In green light turn left". That will cause the driver to pay attention to light condition

Waze not displaying traffic that has already been reported
Waze often does not display traffic (yellow, orange, or red) that has already been reported. Either it will not show it at all or will show it in the Route overview but not on the map itself or vice-versa. This seems to be an ongoing issue and is likely not specific to a particular device so asking for device details will not be helpful.

Report Dangerous LED Lights
LED lights such as unshielded floodlights or bright LED billboards are a traffic hazard. Adding an option to Waze to report blinding LED lights would be popular.

Even better traffic diversion/lets make detours easier.
Waze supports many ways for drivers to leave comments on changing road conditions and hazards, including road closures or debris in the road. The way the app is setup is for people to flag trouble while driving, not while stopped. People often use waze to avoid police when driving, this has resulted in mixed responses from law enforcement. Some saying its intentions are insufficient at ensuring continuous safe driving. Others value its merits like I do. In my work in the field I often use Waze to alert motorists that the road is closed or that there is something they…

I'm just curious if your algorithms take into account the lack of school traffic in the summer.
Summer traffic is lighter. Averages over the entire year will be diluted.

I used to be able to provide traffic and hazard data for the "other side." These disappeared in a recent revision. Please restore.
It is really the restoration of a former option - reporting a traffic jam or traffic hazard on the other side of the road.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Add Navigard traffic control [ITALY]
Since Januarry 1st, 2026 the highway system in Italy added a new trafic control system called NAVIGARD.
As affected routes are public, would be super usefull to have it as a new alert type in WAZE.Thank you for considering.

More direct routes for emergency response services and fire hydrant locations.
Hi, I propose you look into a toggle option for navigation for emergency services organizations that completely ignores traffic regulations, stop signs traffic lights etc..
Emergency services need to take the fastest route while ignoring speed limits, traffic lights & signs.
It would be very helpful to have a navigation that made more direct routes that completely disregard these things and give you the absolute fastest route.
Also, it would be awesome if there could also be a toggle option to show fire hydrant icons / locations for firefighters.4 votes -
Add option to select routes that have reduced exposure to the headlights of oncoming traffic at night
Add a driving preference/option that selects routes that have reduced exposure to the headlights of oncoming traffic at night to reduce glare and halos. In addition to generally avoiding busy streets, the route chosen might prioritize two-lane roads so the driver can get into the right lane, thereby moving farther away from oncoming traffic. Older drivers hate driving at night so this is a big opportunity to potentially attract new users.

Ability to drive most direct route through busy traffic with no bypasses to side streets, would be great for us that use motorcycles in city
I often find the sat navy avoids traffic jams/heavy traffic...and takes me to side streets .not good for riding a motorcycle through London for example, when I can go through the traffic and use the main direct path...perhaps an option to go through heavy traffic routes!

"Easy drive" mode
define the navigation logic so that it will skip narrow streets, traffic lights, stop signes, any road when the average speed is under 40 km/h etc. Allow for a 20% longer ride, but get me home fresh and not drained...
