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…

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…1 vote -
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.
10 votesGreat news! The option to turn off toll booths alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

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…

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…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

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.

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…4 votes -

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,…1 vote -
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.

AI traffic flow
ArTi (AI Real Time Interface) Pitch for Waze Integration
Date: September 12, 2025
Contact: Jon Covey, 208-755-4289, jmcovey65@gmail.comThe 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…1 vote -
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

show public transportation routes
We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion,…9 votes -
A way to edit the map when not driving or passenger
So I’m driving and I see a horrible accident on the other side of the road or on my side of the road. I’m focused on driving and I get a mile away from the initial accident there’s no way to go back and report it’s only when driving. Maybe I can get to report an accident on the other side but I don’t have the ability to report maybe it’s blocking the right hand lane as well there is no way to report that either as of now too. Maybe not even for passengers too like I know it…

Next two turns visual
Dear Waze Team,
I appreciate the work you’ve done to make navigation more intuitive and efficient. I’d like to suggest a feature that could further enhance safety for drivers: displaying the next two upcoming turns instead of only the immediate one.
Currently, Waze provides turn-by-turn guidance, but it only shows the next turn unless the following turn happens right after. Having a clear view of the next two turns at all times would allow drivers to plan ahead and avoid last-minute lane changes or abrupt movements. This small adjustment could prevent confusion, reduce accidents, and improve overall road safety.

U.K. Motorway Variable speed limits
Is there a way that Waze can receive an information feed of the U.K. motorway variable speed limits?
I am sure this must exist and have the ability to be tapped into.
The M25, is a great example, but there are many more motorways across the country, often have variable speed limits posted on signs above the lanes. These can change depending on the operators and in response to incidents or traffic conditions.
It would be incredibly useful to be able to see on the Waze screen what the current limit is, and to know that it is current.7 votes -
Gives the option to cancel a Waze direction change order and recalculate
When we are on a path of two parallel lanes in the same direction, and you being on the track 01 the Waze commands you to go to the track 02, if you stay on track 01 the Waze understands that you went to the track 2 (perhaps by proximity of two lanes).
The problem here is that the Waze calculates the speed of the track 02 taking your car as reference, however it is on the track 01. Thus the track 01 would be the best option, but for this error that indicates that you (and others…

Urgent Proposal: Integrate E-Bike and Scooter Riders into the Waze Map for Driver and Rider Safety
The Immediate Safety Need
I am urgently requesting that you integrate electric bicycle and scooter riders into the Waze traffic map. I believe the primary need is not just navigation for the riders themselves, but to increase the visibility of these vehicles in the eyes of the car drivers who use the application.
I see that Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) – e-scooters and e-bikes – have become an integral part of urban and intercity traffic. They travel on the edge of roads, in bus lanes, and on bike paths close to driving lanes, and they pose a significant…1 vote
