Police
Is there a way to possibly verify as law enforcement (through third-party app, such as id.me) and have a police car added as a vehicle. Would be neat to have an option to also show blue lights (on vehicle icon) when making a drive while running lights and siren

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.

Driving with speed limitation, caravans for example.
Dear Waze Team,
First of all, thank you for an outstanding app that continues to improve travel experiences worldwide. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly benefit drivers who tow caravans or trailers – or who, for any reason, are legally required to drive at lower speeds than regular traffic.
Currently, Waze assumes standard vehicle behavior and speed limits. However, in many countries (such as across Europe), towing a trailer legally restricts drivers to lower speeds – often 80 km/h on highways, regardless of the posted limit. This discrepancy affects both estimated time of arrival (ETA) and route…

Ramp and road closures
If there is a way to report closed roads and highway ramps, I can't find it. And maybe others can't too, which could be the reason why closures I've driven up to this week were not reported. Sometimes a firetruck has a road blocked. Sometimes it's a block party or a broken down vehicle. The reasons don't matter. The closed roads and ramps are what matter

Ability to select the types of hazards to enable/disable
Sometimes, certain hazards are not very helpful and are more of a distraction than anything. For example, vehicles stopped on the shoulder, weather, and missing sign are not very important and I dismiss them every time I see it. At times I feel like disabling hazards altogether.
641 votesGreat news! The ability to disable individual alert notifications is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Other Side Reporting
You used to have "Other Side of Road" for reporting. It was AWESOME and I used to report vehicles on the other side on the shoulder, and appreciated getting the notification about that. It's only available with the Police now; please bring that back. Why did you take it away?
613 votesThank 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. -
App starts in dashboard menu
It would be useful if the app, once opened, went to a dashboard or menu which allows selection of one of many options. Currently it opens right to the map and suggests where I might be going based on previous habits. I would rather have that option available along with other options such as a general search, favorites, home, work, gas, etc. This could easily be done with 6 or so large icons to keep the screen clean. This would also avoid the need to multiple selection when going somewhere other than the defaul that's pops up on the screen.

If you could add Natural Gas to the fuel type filters that would be awesome!
Would be great to add CNG and LNG to the fuel type filter for those of us driving CNG VEHICLES.

Adapt routes and ETA to the choice of a user's max speed
More and more of us, for economic or ecological reasons, or simply because our vehicle does not allow us to, self-limit and not drive at more than 100 km/h or 90 km/h, even on the highway.
It would be good if when searching for a route, we could define a Max speed for the vehicle and that the calculation of the different routes takes this into account.
A route on a road limited to 100 km/h, usually abandoned in favor of a route using a highway limited to 130 km/h could even become faster as soon as the driver decides…4 votes -
When a warning appears, show a shrinking progress bar (regress bar, closing-in bar?)
When a warning appears (hazard, police, vehicle on shoulder, traffic), show a shrinking progress bar (regress bar, closing in bar?), perhaps with distance number also. The current tiny numbers are hard to read, require too much attention, and give no feel for the approach rate. Waze assumes perfect close and medium vision too often. If there are several: unclear, but I suppose focus on nearest.

switch between car (diesel) and/or motorbike (gas+ztl) to compare times and costs
I use WAZE to drive either my car and my motorbike. Car is diesel, motorbike is gas: But I cannot save more than one vehicle. Moreover, motorbikes have usually no restriction in accessing central areas. That means I can "say" to have several LTZ permits whenever I use motorbike, but I must remember to delete all of them, as they aren't valid when I'm using the car.

Auto speed adjustment integration with cruise control and auto brake function. On highways only.
Because of fuel burned, brake pads worn, and accidents during traffic on highways and frustration of stopping on a highway for apparently no reason at all.
Wake has enough data on the highway to integrate with auto manufacturers Cruise Control and auto braking function to keep all traffic flowing a almost constant speed. Without the concertina effect caused by human speed adjustment error. Humans will never fully trust or do not want to wait for or would possibly even afford a self driving car.
This system would only be available on highly congested highways to keep the flow of vehicle…3 votes -
Calculate speed of travel adjusted for vehicles turning around
This morning I was caught in a traffic jam in which we traveled 1 mile in 24 minutes. The app was showing travel speed for the area of 8-12 mph at the time because of the number of vehicles exiting the traffic jam to turn around or cutting out of the traffic through side streets. This causes inaccuracy in the eta and may have resulted in routes 'b' or 'c' being faster. Since the GPS is estimated based on location is it not possible to make a change to the system that removes one car length of distance from…

Radar de velocidade média - average speed radar
It would be interesting, in these new “average speed” radars, that along the section in question, the green progression bar that appears in the application on the left side would turn red whenever the vehicle exceeds the allowed average. Here's the tip.
Seria interessante, nestes novos radares de “velocidade média”, que ao longo do troço em questão, a barra de progressão verde que aparece na aplicação do lado esquerdo passasse a vermelho sempre que o veículo ultrapassasse a média permitida. Fica a dica.

Show bridge height
Not once, I've heard of trucks getting into accidents by hitting a bridge that is too low to the vehicles height.
Why not display the bridges on the route and their height to prevent those type of accidents?133 votes -
Optimize/Differentiate routes between cars and motorcycles
Not all Waze users are power users or tech literate (as well as I who, after a year, only saw that there is Vehicle Details setting and you could choose Vehicle type). Please let new users set their vehicle type as they use the app. I understand that there are people who switch between car and motorcycle, but this will at least let you optimize the routes knowing they’re for cars or motorcycles. I experienced a lot of dead ends only because the path is only for motorcycle size; and nearly crossed uncrossable roads being for 4x4s or trucks only.

calculated average speed of average speed segment
There are some road segments which have average speed cameras. Almost always the human beings unable to calculate average speed, so instead they simply don't exceed the enforced speed, the max speed, not average. In case if there are obstructions, slow vehicles, turning vehicles in the average speed segment, the real average speed may fall significantly below what was requested by Road Code rules.
Please add indicator of calculated average speed of passing of the current average speed segment42 votes -
Please add more options to your incident reporting tool
When you go to report an incident currently you can only report Police. This means that whenever someone reports police it may not be the police. A lot of the time it’s a highways agency vehicle or vosa. Can you please add the following options:
Ambulance
Fire
Vosa

Press spot on map
Many times I'm too late to grab my phone to report something I saw a quarter or a half a mile back or for instance I can see police activity in the morning Outside my home where speed traps are set up yeti'm not in my vehicle and would do no justice to anyone reporting from my driveway there needs to be a way where you can hit a spot or location on the map and make a report to drivers about ongoing activities. You can be working in your office building looking out the window and seeing police pulling…
