Can you add a warning for drivers when approaching school zones just like the one you've done when approaching railway crossing

time zone temp fix
If it's too difficult to have Waze team fix the time zone issue, how about Waze telling the user the destination crosses a diff time zone and to display a warning that they should manually set the time zone on their phone to the actual destination time zone to prevent confusions/issues. That way, Waze won't adjust when crossing the zone and destination will display ETA correctly for the whole trip. At arrival, another warning could be to remind the user to set his time zone on phone back to "automatic".

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.

multistop saved routes
Every weekday morning I drop my daughter off at school on my way to work. I set my work address in waze first and then "add a stop" and put in my daughter's school. It would be nice to have an option to set saved route with multiple stops so that I could select it each morning in one step.

Standstill Traffic
Standstill Traffic - Please amend this feature to show the congestion AHEAD of my location, not behind me! I don't get to the head of the queue and then tell everybody about it.

Don’t close history while driving
Don’t close history while driving. You tell us not to type and drive but force us to by repeatedly closing the history menu while driving. I car scroll down to pick a location I was at recently, so I have to type it in again while driving.

Alert for fixed parking enforcement cameras when stopping
Please add an alert when a vehicle slows down and stops within a defined enforcement zone monitored by fixed parking cameras.
This would help drivers avoid unintentional parking violations, especially in areas with unclear signage or new residents/visitors.
Suggested options:
• Toggle on/off in alerts settings
• Alert only below X km/h and when vehicle remains stationary for Y seconds
• Show a “parking enforcement camera zone” banner3 votes -
Hazard report on other side
There should be the ability to add hazard on the other side for when we see traffic stopped on the other side that has not been reported yet so that cars heading towards that area can be alert of that problem and have a better chance of avoiding accidents and helping fellow Waze users

Include traffic signal count on route summary.
For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

Feature Suggestion: “Group Ride / Buddy Mode” for Safer and More Connected Travel
To the Waze Team,
Good day! I am a longtime Waze user, and I truly appreciate how your app continues to innovate in keeping drivers safe and informed. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience of many users, especially those who travel together.
I would like to propose a “Group Ride Mode” or “Buddy Mode” where users traveling as a group such as friends, families, and motorcycle convoys can see each other in real time directly on the Waze map. Many riders and drivers often travel together, and having this integrated feature would bring a big advantage in terms of convenience and safety.
Below are the features that I believe would make this mode extremely useful:
Proposed Features for Group Ride / Buddy Mode
Real-Time Location Sharing
Show the live position of each group member on the Waze map using icons or initials.Distance Gap Indicator
Display how far each buddy is ( “350m behind,” “1.2 km ahead”).Re-route Notifications
If a member takes a different route, the group receives a small alert such as:
“Alex re-routed now 2.1 km away.”Group Voice Chat (Push-to-Talk)
A simple walkietalkie style voice feature for quick updates during the drive.Group ETA Comparison
Show the estimated time of arrival for every member to help coordinate stops and arrival times.Battery Level Indicator
Notify group members if someone has low battery to avoid surprises when someone drops offline.Speed Status Sync (Privacy-Safe)
Show simple speed indicators like: Stopped, Slow, Normal, Fast (no exact speed numbers needed).“Regroup Alert” Button
Allows one member to send a signal to the group to slow down or meet at the next stop.Privacy Controls
Group access via invite link or code only.
Option for members to switch to invisible mode anytime.Emergency/SOS Ping
A quick SOS button that alerts all members if someone stops unexpectedly or needs assistance.
Why This Feature is Valuable?
- This feature would be especially helpful for:
- Motorcycle groups and riding clubs
- Family convoys during long trips
- Friends traveling to the same destination
- Delivery riders working in teamsIntegrating this into Waze would make group travel safer, more organized, and more enjoyable, while also setting Waze apart from other navigation apps that currently don’t offer this level of real-time group coordination.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving the Waze experience. I hope you consider this idea, as many users like me would benefit greatly from its addition.

For the Love of Waze: A Real Driver's Plea to Stop the Trolls
I'm writing to you as someone who truly loves what Waze is supposed to be: a community of drivers helping each other out. But that spirit is dying, and it's because you're letting a handful of trolls ruin it for everyone else.
We've all seen it: phantom police cars that vanish into thin air, imaginary traffic jams on empty roads, and the completely absurd "icy road" warnings during a summer heatwave. It’s gone from being a funny quirk to a serious problem. It’s not just annoying anymore; it’s making us lose trust in the app we once relied on.
We, the honest drivers, are tired. We need you to step in and give us the tools to fight back. Here are a few common-sense ideas:
A Simple "Trust Score" for Everyone.
This doesn't need to be complicated. If your reports are helpful and people confirm them, your hidden trust score goes up. If your reports are constantly flagged as false, your score plummets. It’s that simple.Real Consequences for Trolls.
A bad trust score needs to mean something. Put them in a "timeout corner" where they can't report for a day. If they keep doing it, give them a week off. And for the worst offenders who just want to watch the world burn? Kick them out for good.The Biggest Fix: You Must Be THERE to Confirm.
This is a huge one. Right now, a liar's friend can confirm a fake report from his couch miles away. That's insane. Please, make the "It's There" button dead unless a driver's GPS shows they are right on top of the report. No physical presence, no vote.Use a Little Common Sense in the App.
Your system has all the data. Use it!
Does a "standstill traffic" report make sense when your own data shows other Wazers flying by at the speed limit? Of course not. The system should automatically flag and remove it.
An "icy road" report when it's clearly summer? Come on. Block those reports automatically when they make no logical sense.
Please, listen to your community. We are the ones on the road every day trying to make this work. We want to help you clean up the app and bring back the Waze we all loved and trusted.Sincerely,
A Driver Who Still Hopes.I'm writing to you as someone who truly loves what Waze is supposed to be: a community of drivers helping each other out. But that spirit is dying, and it's because you're letting a handful of trolls ruin it for everyone else.

Send an alert as soon as an accident occurs on the route so driver can consider another before Waze suggests one
Send an alert as soon as an accident occurs on the current route so driver can immediately consider another. It takes Waze a while to suggest a new one as it waits for traffic to build up while a driver will know that is likely to happen and can pick another route before it is too late.

Better head-up-display directions at roundabout
The head-up-display shows directions through waze in my VW ID.7. At roundabouts it shows an arrow, instead of (part of) a roundabout with which exit to take.

Zoom
Whenever I click the find alternative routes button. It constantly zooms me out every single time. This is so annoying I have to constantly click the plus button. Every time that I want to check if there’s a different route thats quicker.
