1. Avoid Thomas Hill Rd, Madison, IN 47250

   We have semi tractor trailer traffic that comes from North and East that is directed from the main highways to take Thomas Hill Rd. This is not a semi tractor trailer safe road. It is one lane, windy, and no guard rails with many sharp turns. They get stuck and have to be towed back out. This causes degradation of the road at a higher rate than normal erosion, it is very unsafe, uses county resources to remove them, etc. THey are trying to get to the power plant that is at the bottom of this hill. A regular pass car can take the road. Semi traffic should use Clifty Drive (St Rd 62) and then Hanover Hill (St Rd 56). How can this be implemented in your system ? I am contacting all major map systems to see if I can get this changed. The road signs are not working.

2. Improving on route and more functions.

   I been using waze daily for work as uber driver. There is time can be annoying when waze divert me to another route which is less traffic and mileage is far than origin route. This may cause additional cost on the fare and some riders may not feel comfortable if any route change. My suggestion to waze is have a option for waze as below:-

   1) Option to ignore traffic jams so we can maintain current route without any diversion to other route. Let waze user to choose to stuck in traffic or find alternative route. :)

   2) Option to avoid small country/inner roads due to inner road conditions may not be comfortable/too many turns/junctions.

   3) Lane assist for waze user due to turn to turn alert may experience delay/inaccurate.

   4) Navigation > Fastest/shortest route need improvement. Calculation on mileage/km still not accurate as it seems. During waze i find there is better route and nearer based on distance/Km compare to suggestion by waze.

   5) To add a economy route on navigation - based on nearest distance/km by using highway and mixture of non toll roads.

   Thank you.

3. In Chicago, the Kennedy reversible lanes should be updated in real time using www.kennedyexpresslanes.com data

   Routing would be better if www.kennedyexpresslanes.com data were checked every few minutes.

4. Navigate to direction only works in parked gear

   At the moment the only way you can select a place to navigate to is possible when you are in parked gear in your car. The moment your car is in movement, you are unable to choose the point to navigate to. This includes being stationary on red light when the car is in drive gear.

   Comparing this to Google maps navigation where you can choose any of your recent addresses to navigate to and the only thing that is not available is using the keyboard.

   I understand the safety aspect of selecting the places to drive to when in parked, but it's not always possible and I would say it's actually less practical as sometimes parking in single lane roads just to choose where to navigate might be more dangerous.

   It would be helpful for people that do many drops or change the places to drive to often

5. "Prefer Freeways" instead of "Avoid Tolls"

   Currently, you can set Waze to 'avoid tolls' which is handy - but this prevents Waze from recommending tollways when there is traffic on the freeway. For example, in Dallas we have 635 and 635 Express. Both follow the exact same path, the only difference is the express lanes cost around $5. It would be very nice if Waze would prefer the freeway, but still recommend the tollway if there is significant traffic reported on the freeway.

   Also, Waze seems to have trouble telling if I am on the freeway or tollway, since they are basically right next to each other (in some areas they are actually right on top of each other). I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done about this - but FYI...

6. Update algorithms for common sense

   I travel to work on a 4 lane divided highway. Same car, same route, same phone, every day. I continually get that damned CHIRP as I'm driving 80 mph down the divided highway and it will recalculate, thinking I've somehow made a miraculous 90 degree turn to the right, at 80 mph, and it thinks it has to recalculate my route. 1) how about you put some common sense into your algorithms, that will figure "this vehicle has been on this highway for xx miles, it hasn't slowed down any...so it must not be turning onto the side street". 2) can you FINALLY give us the option to TURN OFF THAT DAMNED CHIRP??? It should be an easy thing - put a tick-box in the settings page. Simple. Or, just have it turn off when the user switches to "alerts only". Thank you.

7. Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone

   In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.

   Add HOV matching!

   Subject: Suggestion for Faster Incident Reporting on the Main Map
   Hello,
   I would like to submit a suggestion regarding the usability and safety of the Waze app.
   I believe it would be very useful if, on the main map screen while following a chosen route, users could configure, for example, their 3 favorite incident reports. These could be displayed vertically, from top to bottom, next to the speedometer icon.
   For example:
   Mobile Police
   Car on shoulder
   Right lane blocked
   This feature would allow drivers to mark relevant incidents more quickly and safely. Currently, the list of options is quite long, which can make it distracting and harder to report incidents accurately while driving.
   I think the ability to select frequently used reports would help drivers stay more focused on the road while also encouraging faster and more precise incident reporting.
   Thank you for your time and for continually improving the app.
   Best regards,
   Arthur

9. Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)

   Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
   1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
   • Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
   • Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
   • Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
   2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
   • Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their phone screen.
   • Provide audible alerts for all types of cameras (speed cameras, red-light cameras, mobile speed traps, school zone cameras, bus lane cameras, etc.), not just fixed speed cameras.
   • This would greatly improve driver safety and focus on the road, especially for professional drivers who cannot afford distractions.
   3. Truck and Bus Navigation
   • Add full navigation support for all classes of heavy vehicles, including:
   • Light Rigid (LR)
   • Medium Rigid (MR)
   • Heavy Rigid (HR)
   • Heavy Combination (HC)
   • Multi-Combination (MC)
   • All categories of buses.
   • Include truck- and bus-specific routing options, such as avoiding low bridges, restricted roads, weight limits, and bus-only roads.
   • Many drivers who rely on Waze for personal car trips would also like to use Waze for their professional work in trucks and buses, but currently, Waze does not fully meet these needs.
   4. Professional Driver Use Case
   • Waze has a huge opportunity to support professional drivers (truckers, bus drivers, delivery drivers, etc.) who want the same smart navigation and community-based alerts they enjoy in their cars.
   • Expanding features to include heavy vehicle navigation and more robust audible alerts would make Waze not only the best app for personal use but also the top choice for professional driving.

10. Useless information

    Dear on duty!
    I drive a lot to work and back. Hours each day. Mostly, I use the app to foresee road blocks so I could re-route through back roads that even Waze doesn't know about.
    But I get a lot of useless notifications like "left lane blocked" or "fog". These notifications are pointing out the obvious. You wasted time programming, I wasted time reading it. This morning the app told me "bad weather"! This flipped my lid off. Like what? I'll explain.
    How do you measure good or bad? Bad for who? It's latitude 59, it's December. I'd say +7C is not bad weather. Yes, it's off statistics (it should be -10C), but it's not bad. It could be sleeting sideways. It was just dark and rainy. Get over it!
    The information I need is the kind that makes me make decisions as I drive. Stuff like potholes, dead bodies, zombies, vegans, accidents ahead - those fleeting hazards. My eyes are fine, checked by doctors - I can see it's foggy. Typically I saw that fog hours before your notification - your notification is hours late. I can see the left lane block miles before your pop-up thing. There are traffic signs, remember?
    I know people like to report, post, and share everything they see, it gives them some sort of satisfaction. A little good deed per day - I reported poor weather on Waze (Go Karen!). Keep the possibility, but don't show it to everyone driving by.
    What you can do with the obvious information is push it out in advance. When I tap "drive me Home" on the screen, it then plans my route. And now it could come back with a notification covering the possible hazards on the planned route - traffic jams, slippery road, poor visibility, etc. I can make decisions before I hit the road. I can take a phone call home warning that I may be late for dinner due to poor road condition.
    Every piece of information has value, but the timing must be correct, otherwise it's just noise.

13. toll booth alert off switch

    Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert

    99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.

    Great news! The option to turn off toll booths alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

    You may also check this link, to learn more about managing permanent road features alerts.

14. More comprehensive directions

    Waze should be able to give more detailed and frequent directions, perhaps as a selectable option (e.g. regular "keep left/right and go straight for the next __ metres" reminders, or more frequent "turn left in __ metres" instructions every 50m rather than 100m/200m).

    In one experience, the road I was travelling on split to two separate but parallel lanes, and because Waze didn't mention anything I ended up taking the wrong path. A more frequent reminder to keep left/right would have avoided this.

    tl;dr make Waze more talkative.

15. Camera AI

    Use the camera along with AI and any dash mount to recognize lanes. Additionally, with some fine tuning of an AI, recognize when the driver witnesses a wreck, confirm it was a wreck, and then send a recording to police along with contact info for driver.

16. The timing of voice alerts when taking turns and the option to add multiple stops.

    It would be better if the voice alerts atleast 80-100 meters in advance of turns, so that it will be easier for the drivers to take their respective lanes accordingly, and if add self arranged/organised mutiple stops it will be much better for drivers and delivery partners

17. Waze directions are given too late

    I have recently moved to Melbourne Australia. Every road, every intersection, every turn is new to me. I've been an avid Waze user for many years, but I cannot use it anymore. Every directional instruction is 1-3 seconds too late. I have never encountered this problem, because I only used the alert voice setting since I knew my daily drive and area very well.

    A few examples:
    1) When approaching an intersection while in the middle of a 5 lane road, the direction to turn right is only given once the lane turn-offs begin.
    2) When in a residential area where the speed limit is 60km/h, Waze only says "turn right" when the right-turn is 10m away. Yes, I do acknowledge that 300m before the right-turn it said "in 300 meters, turn right", but the problem is between the initial instruction and the right-turn, there may be another turn in between and it's hard to judge distance in a new environment - see point 3 below.
    3) See previous point for reference. I often find that after I have turned, Waze would say "in 200 meters", but 50 meters have passed already, so it's hard to judge what distance remains and thus it's hard to judge the actual remaining distance.

    While driving, my passenger had Google Maps open. Every instruction was in perfect timing. I don't like the look of the Google Maps interface very much, but when driving I don't have to look at the screen - I only have to listen to the instructions. For new users, this is the primary reason for using a GPS nav app.

    I loved Waze with the personalization options and clean UI. You were by my side for over a decade. Sorry Waze team for leaving. My intention for using a GPS navigation app is to get to my destination without missing turns. Unfortunately Waze is lagging behind Google Maps in this regard.

    If part of the Waze roadmap is to acquire new users, then this issue must deserve proper attention.

19. AI traffic flow

    ArTi (AI Real Time Interface) Pitch for Waze Integration

    Date: September 12, 2025
    
    Contact: Jon Covey, 208-755-4289, jmcovey65@gmail.com

    The Problem

    Road rage and unclear driver intent contribute to 80% of traffic incidents, per NHTSA data. Current navigation apps, even with real-time alerts, lack a personal, visible signal to communicate compliance, leaving drivers guessing about each other’s behavior—especially in dense or mixed-traffic conditions.

    The Solution: ArTi

    ArTi is an innovative AI-driven traffic management system that enhances driver awareness and safety through real-time, color-coded feedback:
    
    - Green: Following traffic rules (e.g., speed, lane discipline).
    
    - Yellow: Minor deviations (e.g., slight over-speed, lane drift).
    
    - Red: Only activates when brakes are applied (safety override). Or when the driver is blatantly ignoring rules of the road.

    How It Works:
    
    - The entire smartphone screen changes color based on AI analysis of driving behavior (using GPS, accelerometer, and local rule data).
    
    - This color syncs to the car’s third brake light, broadcasting the driver’s status to others on the road.
    
    - Integrates seamlessly as an optional overlay, preserving Waze’s core navigation experience.

    Why Waze?

    • Synergy: Waze’s real-time traffic data and user reports can power ArTi’s compliance engine, leveraging your existing AI and crowdsourced insights.
      
    • Safety Boost: ArTi turns Waze into a proactive safety tool, reducing collisions and enhancing community trust—aligning with Waze for Cities goals.
      
    • User Engagement: A unique feature to differentiate Waze, encouraging adoption and retention through gamified safety incentives (e.g., “Green Streak” badges).
      

    Proposed Integration

    • Technical Fit: Use the Waze Transport SDK or Deep Links to feed ArTi real-time data (e.g., speed limits, hazards), with a Bluetooth adapter syncing to car lights.
      
    • Pilot Program: Launch in a Waze for Cities partner city (e.g., LA, Singapore) to test ArTi’s impact on traffic flow and safety metrics.
      
    • Collaboration Model: Co-development with shared IP protection, or a licensed feature with revenue share tied to premium usage.

    Next Steps

    • Discussion: Let’s connect to explore data access and SDK integration details.
      
    • Prototype: We can demo a proof-of-concept using Waze’s public API within 30 days.
      
    • Partnership: Open to negotiating terms via Waze PartnerHub or a direct call.

20. We need the road blocked button back. There is no way of signalling that a road is blocked and no way through.

    There used to be a road blocked button. Now only lanes blocked. I have numerous examples of Waze showing a route through a blocked road. Alerts on road works or lanes blocked but still we a guided through where a road is blocked.
