Hi..I love using WAZE...I use it exclusively over my cars navigation system. My suggestion is for more reporting icons. We have policether v
How about a police icon on the move? Only have visible or not. Also, another icon for other emergency vehicles such as Ambulances or fire vehicles. Would really help to have them. Thanks!

Show traffic for FastTrak holders in Bay Area
Hi, can you show traffic in the Bay Area for those of us using FastTrak? Adding a simple button to acknowledge that we have a FT in our cars means you can let us know if the lanes are open (or not) for FT users and that can make our commute a bit easier.

Reports of police presence
I’m a new user and like your app very much. The reports of stalled cars and other hazards is very helpful for everyone’s safety. However, speeding has become a serious problem on the highways, since Covid has resulted in much less police presence. When Waze reports the location of radar traps. It encourages drivers to violate the law and avoid getting tickets; this is not in everyone’s best interest. My recommendation is that you stop reporting radar traps.

Matters with or without automatic payment machines on highways
I think it would be good if cars could be equipped with or without an automatic payment system for expressways.
Not every country has a 100% automatic payment machine in the car, so I would like you to add it.1 vote -
When the volume bar is dragged to zero, the navigation voice directions still lower the volume of my music. Please change this.
I use the navigation, visually, but not the voice. As I can not find a mute button, I have instead dragged the volume slider all the way to 0.
I then listen to music on my phone in the background through car speakers. Whenever there is a voice navigation queue, although the voice has no volume so I can't here it, waze still lowers the volume of my music for the duration of the direction, as such, my music seems to just lower the volume periodically which is rather annoying.

Integration with local carsharing providers.
Lots of cities in Europe has they local carsharing providers. Usually they recommend waze as a navigation service. Would be cool to see support for those in waze: e.g. start/stop rental spots on the map, cars availability on these spots, probably navigation options to the nearest one and maybe later even a counter with rental time.
Rental spots may be integrated the same as it is done with Gas stations of a certain brand but with the live info about available cars on these spots.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

One-click vehicle type swap
Many people have two vehicles: a car and a motorbike. Specially in cities! Going to settings/vehicle/vehicle type every day every time i use a different vehicle is a pain **********!
Besides that, we have to do the same thing just to verify which type is selected, there is no icon or sign to know that!
There should be a fast button to swich between two vehicles.46 votes -

Improve car parked feature. It frequently says I'm parked when I'm still driving and I have to re program my destination.

Enable speed and associated icons to be placed on the left or the right side of the navigation screen at drivers discretion
Currently speed icons only display on right side of navigation screen. I drive a right hand drive car and speed icons are obscured by steering wheel and indicator stalks. It would be nice to have option to display the icons on the left or the right side of navigation screen at driver's discretion to facilitate clearer display depending on car navigation screen installed position.

maximum one report per X miles
Hi there,
Waze is awesome and everyone is using it. Some like me to navigate from Northern Denmark all the way to Romania on holiday others just to find out about speed traps.
In Romania, Waze caught a lot of media attention so we have a lot of new users, who are obsessed with the points. The new users part is good. We get more reports, more places, we improve on the map problems and we know exactly where the police is :)))
But then due to the point system, the new users instead of thanking for a reported police…

Waze should stop after disconnecting from car play
Waze starts automatically after connecting to carplay, but doesn’t turn off automatically after disconnecting from carplay. It should turn off automatically based on proximity to destination + carplay disconnect + optional couple minutes delay :) I think this will be a better user experience and will improve battery life of the user. I saw a few threads on reddit about this issue but without a solution.

On the paw patrol voice it'll be cool to hear. There's a car stopped on the side of the road, i wonder if Rocky has a part for the car.
Other ideas, Zuma, when you get to your location, can say OK dive it, the beginning when you start, we gotta fly (skye) Green means go (Rocky).

Small footprint car icon set on the iPhone
Could you please consider to either bring back or reintroduce small footpeimt car icon set. There was very basic set of a blue, yellow or green car set, that were smaller in size and for the smaller car screens they were very ergonomic. Now with the replacement of a larger versions, map screen becomes more cluttered, larger car icon takes more space on the screen and does not bring any value just distraction. When you try to glance to the screen while driving you see big car icon first and then trying to figure out what is around the icon.…

Have users rate the condition of the railway crossing afterwards. Keep data on all crossings to identify
Ever go over one of those railway crossings and think, "What the **** did I just go over?" All over the country, cars have to cross some of the most poorly maintained crossings, putting not only their vehicles at risk but could cause loss of life if one goes over it too quickly without realizing the mess they are in. Wouldn't it be cool if users could be prompted to enter a rating on the condition of the crossing so that Waze can warn people who may have older or more sensitive cars about an upcoming bad crossing? I am…

on my iphone I can see the option to add 'closure' however on my car screen, this option is not available
Why does the screen not copy to my car screen? 2 x recently I have encountered this issue, one was when a road was completely closed for 24 hours due to a thatched cottage being on fire and 80 firefighters across the road - the app only showed 1 lane closed so clearly other drivers encounter this issue, and yesterday in central Milton Keynes a road was closed but the app screen on my car only showed 1 lane closed. Please review the system to mirror mobile phones to systems in cars to prevent delays and traffic hold-ups as drivers…

Need a widget for android to display map on home screen.
I use a tablet for my car entertainment center, and use waze over google maps. I want a way to add a widget that can display current navigation map on the home screen, so that way I won't need to use split screen all the time. Could have ability to launch full app by hitting the widget if need to interact with waze completely, if too hard to have it interact fully on widget only.

Open up Waze to developers so we get third party plugins!
Would be amazing if Waze allowed other developers to integrate their software AND hardware to use with Waze.
Escort radar has their own app where if you hold a button on their radar detector, it'd report it on their cloud to other Escort users that a police is spotted.
However, having to have two apps loaded at a time makes it very difficult to catch alerts from both apps at the same time. Opening up an SDK or API on Waze and allowing other companies and developers to integrate with Waze would allow Waze to dominate the industry.
With this…
