When searching for a location - do not show straight line miles/"as the crow flies" miles as this is not useful.
This makes you think "ah, it's not too far" but when real driving miles are shown... it is sometimes double the miles! So straight line miles is useless

Ajout d’un icône
Ajouter un icône pour les animaux en mouvement, car l’icone DANGER ne suffit pas étant donné le déplacement . À deux reprises hier, je n’ai pas pu signaler cela sur une autoroute. L’icône DANGER n’est pas suffisant et trop imprécis dans ces cas là.

Bring Back These Three Icons
The classic Waze icon (with the U turn mouth) was adorable. I miss it. I would love to see it return as an app icon option in the iOS app.
Also, I miss the ability to set my Wazer icon as a Duck or Wembley from Fraggle Rock. I would love to se both of those return as options.

Bike path crossing alerts
In bicycle-centric cities like Madison, WI, the roadways are full of bike path crossings. Some have flashing yellow lights, while others are simply painted green. Alerting drivers of bike path crossings would make cities like Madison much safer.
For reference, I was rear-ended at one with full flashing lights last year. It could have been fatal had the cyclist not been crossing the other side of the boulevard at the moment of impact.
Please consider giving Waze users the option to be alerted at bike path crossings!

Rutas Vehículos Eléctricos
Actualmente no planifica rutas para vehículos eléctricos como lo puede hacer ABRP. Ni siquiera te deja seleccionar vehículo eléctrico ya que solo deja elegir carburantes.
Estaría muy bien y sería una app casi completa si se incluyera un sistema de cálculo y rutas para vehículos eléctricos en donde la ruta se planifique con sus correspondientes puntos de recarga.
Creo que es un punto necesario y fundamental, ya que los vehículos eléctricos son el futuro y los de combustión están en un próximo proceso de extincion.3 votes -
Motorcycle mode should not ask to confirm things
Motorcycle mode should not ask to confirm things
When in motocycle mode we have gloves on and limited visial with our helments. Please turn off the confirmation of alerts. I confirm when in my car, but it should not show when on the motorbike. Also the alert then also takes up visual space of the map. It makes me look down more when riding.3 votes -

Adjust routes
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitations:
- Add the ability to manually edit a route with multiple intermediate stops
Waze usually finds good routes, but sometimes I want to manually adjust it — set 2–3 waypoints, fix the path myself, and avoid places I don’t want to pass. Right now, it’s not possible to fully customize a route this way.
- Allow starting a route from a different location (not current GPS location)
In Ukraine, GPS can be unreliable or blocked in certain areas. Sometimes I just want to plan a route starting from another location (for a friend, or for later travel). Currently, this isn’t possible in Waze, unless GPS is active and working.
Please consider adding these features — they would make Waze much more flexible and powerful, especially for experienced users.
Thanks for all the great work you do!
Best regards, Dmytro.

Speed Limit indicators on map
It would add to safer driving to have speed limit changes show up as standard indicators on the map while driving, meaning seeing them approach just like any other indicator on the map.
Current issues/reasons:
1. In South Africa we have many areas where the speed limit road signs are missing. I count four that are missing on my daily route alone, and this is extremely dangerous with frequent sudden braking necessary immediately after realizing the speed limit has changed without prior notice.
2. There are often speed cameras directly after a speed limit change, which is a nice little dirty trick used by our often-corrupt traffic department officers, with lots of easy to find dashcam footage online to attest to just this one issue.
3. Better preparation for speed transitions - Advanced warning allows drivers to gradually adjust speed rather than making abrupt changes, which reduces the risk of rear-end collisions from following vehicles.
4. Unfamiliar route safety - When driving in new areas, drivers may not know local speed limit patterns and could easily miss changes, especially when traffic signs are missing. This is especially important for tourists or business travelers.
5. Night driving visibility - Speed limit signs can be harder to spot in low-light conditions, while the navigation display remains clearly visible.
6. Weather-related visibility - During rain, fog, or other weather conditions that reduce visibility, physical signs may be obscured while the digital display remains clear.
7. Standardized information - Eliminates confusion from damaged, faded, or vandalized speed limit signs that may be difficult to read accurately. Additionally, it is much easier to follow the navigation map when speed limit information is displayed in the familiar indicator format that drivers are already accustomed to using.This has previously been suggested very long ago (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/10519629-speed-limit-indication-on-map), but without much motivation given. The response of the Waze Team was not helpful, as the issues were not addressed. Since this is a safety issue more than a nice-to-have feature (at least in my country), I believe it requires more attention from the developers.

Mostrar en pantalla de forma anticipada el nombre de la próxima calle que se atravesará cuando se está navegando sin destino prefijado
Si bien todas las calles tienen nombre, durante la navegación no siempre es visible el nombre de la calle en el tramo exacto que uno está atravesando, lo que obliga a mover manualmente el mapa para identificarla. Esto, cuando uno está manejando, resulta incómodo y hasta riesgoso.
Una funcionalidad que tenía Garmin y que sería muy útil incorporar es la siguiente:
mostrar en pantalla, de forma anticipada (por ejemplo, unos 100 metros antes), el nombre de la próxima calle que se va a cruzar, independientemente de si hay que doblar o no. Esto se mostraba en un pequeño rectángulo en una esquina de la pantalla, y permitía confirmar si el cruce que se aproxima es el que uno espera.Esta información, ayudaría mucho a anticipar maniobras con mayor seguridad y confianza, especialmente en ciudades con señalización poco clara.

map zooms out and centers wrongly when driving along minor roads
lately the map zooms out and the arrow indicating my car "centers" itself upwards on the screen when driving along small roads, making it very hard to determine the proximity and distance of the next turn. it's only been for the past week and still having this issue. I did not change any of my settings it just randomly happened starting last week onwards. the same issue happens even on my different phone with a different Waze account. when driving, the arrow that represents your car should be near the bottom edge of the map, not somewhere center or high-center of the map. this only happens when driving along smaller roads. please fix this.

Draw your own way
I want to be able to draw the exact route I want with my finger — just like on a paper map.
Currently, Waze overrides my preferences by rerouting me through inner-city traffic, risking ZTL fines and unnecessary stress.
Please allow users to freely draw a route and let Waze support us within that path, not override it.
Sometimes the smartest tool is the one that listens — not the one that insists.

Subscription for more content
Here is my idea and I would hope if this ever got approved I would be included in the profits anyways
Have a subscription based add on that has special features for car enthusiasts for £1.99 a month
1. Add friends and be able to see them on your map if they are near by
2. Friend can create groups for road trips and meets so that you can see set destinations together aswell as set group pins as a destination if they have found somewhere cool to go
3. Have a road tracker bit like a video game where you unlock streets as you drive over them with a leaderboard for friends to see who has driving on the most ( creates more data for you)
4. Work with car company’s to allow actually vehicle images as your Waze picture then allows the car company’s to buy back the data on what cars people haveWith nearly 140 million users if only 1% bought into this that’s 2.5 million a month plus the extra revenue from data collection if you want more information don’t hesitate to email me

To avoid road construction
You should add so that you can do the same to avoid road construction as with avoiding toll roads! That is, choose another alternative route if road construction is on the proposed route. A completely different thing is that you should add a warning for all "fixed" road bumps so you don't get hit by a car!
