Switch lanes with one touch
It happens a lot that when you do not take the right exit or ramp to side roads the navigation thinks you did and shows you a route that you cannot take because you are in the central lanes and it´s very annoying, so it would be amazing that you could change roads just touching the road you are into.

When I am traveling and Waze wants to divert me to another route does it take into account the fact that I am traveling with or without enough people in the car to use the car pool (HOV) lane. I left Palm Springs last Friday morning at 5am traveling to Redwood City. Waze diverted us through some back road highways to I-5. Not sure if that was the best route. Was I10 really that crowded. Was the car pool lane open.

Add a wireless OBD2 sensor for additional vehicle safety information
Suggest adding a wireless Bluetooth OBD2 device (BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+) so Waze can access safety features from your vehicle such as:
1. Blind spot warning
2. Accidental lane departure
3. Show when turn signals are on - for those that forget - optional beep after 5 seconds and before my wife says “YOUR BLINKERS ON!!!”
4. Etc.Option - For lane departure and blind spot warning above - when the two are triggered the Waze display or the hud display below could kick in the appropriate mirror camera video (if the vehicle has mirror cameras) so you see the…

Ability for area managers to add road closures and long-lasting hazards in areas they manage
Instead of having to rely on the high level requirement in certain countries, area managers should be able to add road closures and long-lasting hazard notices on the map in the areas they manage. Currently we have to rely on Country Managers who are already busy and it creates unnecessary work for us having to create map multiple map views and copy paste links every few weeks when we could just do it ourselves. Especially during large constructions, like currently our city is constructing a tramway and roads all around the city are either completely closed or traffic flow…

Wait times for metered on ramps
When On ramps are metered there can develop a very long queue to enter a freeway this should be considered in route calculations, but it doesn't seem to be. The navigation has you turning on to a street that had an on ramp to a freeway that is backed up several blocks beyond where you made your turn onto the street. The result is you cannot merge into the lane that allows you access to the on ramp.

We visited Miami and were directed by the Waze app to use the I-95 Express Lane.
Unfortunately, we didn't have the required subscription so we were issued a $28 ticket.

Speed limit sometimes covers current speed
Currently when I rapidly accelerate, like when passing on a 2 lane road, the speedlimit box becomes larger and covers my current speed indicator. And this is usually when I need to know my current speed the most! Please put an option to disable this behavior. I want to keep current speed limit and current speed on screen at all times, do not make the speedlimit cover up my current speed at any time.
Thank you.

Bericht sturen om een veiligheidsweg te maken als je in de file staat
Hey,
In een aantal landen is het verplicht om bij een file op de autosnelweg een ´safety lane´ vrij te maken door resp uiterst rechts en uiterst links van je rijvak te gaan rijden.
Maar in Belgie zijn chauffeurs dit nog niet gewoon. Is het geen idee om op het moment dat een chauffeur stil komt te staan in de file een bericht te sturen om hem hieraan te herinneren.3 votes -
For local distance use blocks instead of feet/miles
Please give directions like humans, not a robot. If an upcoming turn is 2 blocks ahead, that is what a human would say . . . not 500 feet ahead.
When on a highway, telling me that an exit is 1/2 mile ahead is fine.
However, when on local streets (even 4 lane local roads) pease at least offer me the option of telling me how many blocks ahead the turn is.1 vote -
Carpool
It would be great to be able to tell the app that we are a carpool and get adjusted travel time predictions and routes maximizing use of HOV lanes when beneficial

Add road closures when not on a route
Android and Car Play do not let you mark road closures while driving. In large cities, WAZE is often inaccurate because of the number of event road closures that go unreported. Please add a feature to add road closures for non-drivers and off-route drivers in large cities.

CA HOV lanes
On some roads in CA 2+ can used HOV lanes for free. Allow an easy method to override avoid toll lanes. I know that I can uncheck avoid toll lanes in settings but don't want to chance forgetting to recheck avoid toll lanes after using HOV lanes when in carpoiol status.

Add User-Configurable Filter to Hide Road Closures Older Than X Hours
In regions experiencing dynamic events like protests, construction, or natural disasters, road closures can appear and disappear rapidly. Unfortunately, Waze currently displays all reported closures—regardless of how old or potentially outdated they are—until another user manually clears them or the system detects traffic through them. This results in a cluttered and often inaccurate map, especially in countries like Panama where road conditions can change daily.
Request:
Please implement a user-configurable filter to hide or de-emphasize road closures that haven’t been confirmed or re-reported in a given time frame (e.g., 24, 48, or 72 hours). This would allow…

Updates to / new reportables
Pot Hole (Choose which lane to report for)
Debris in road (Choose which lane to report for)
Visibility alert (Smoke & Fire) (not just bad weather)
Reduced speed alert (Australia 40km,60km,80km,100km) Some zones are 110 but when reduced to 60 it doesn't always change on navigation - Add the option as a reportable.
Option to choose specific reports to have audible alerts.. I usually run mine with no sound at all but would be good to be able to select Police / Speed camera alerts ONLY as audible.

i70 EB is closed at Glenwood Springs, CO and Waze doesn't know it.
I'm trying to use Waze before Google or Apple on iOS and mainly happy.
But i70 EB has been closed for several hours today 4/24/25 and Waze has no idea. Apple and Google both show the closure and expect it to last until 7 pm, i.e. for about 12 hours total.The best detour (local knowledge) is over Cottonwood Pass in Eagle County that departs state Hwy 82 at Cattle Creek Road and comes into Gypsum, CO on Cottonwood Pass Road. Waze and Google both show seasonal closure still in effect on that road, while Apple and aspenchamber.org both show…

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…
