report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

Remember Events filter
I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

PUR (Pending Update Request) for L6-Locked POI Modifications by L6 Editors
Bonjour,
Currently, a Level 6 (L6) editor can directly modify or delete a POI locked at the same level (L6) without intermediate validation.
However, L6 editors remain human and can make mistakes due to oversight or accidental edits. A recent concrete case demonstrated this: a critical POI locked at L6, essential for the Tour de France, was deleted by another L6 editor. This caused a critical operational outage on the ground, which is especially harmful since the associated QR code cannot be regenerated.
To secure map integrity on high-lock elements, we request the implementation of a suggestion system (PUR - Pending Update Request) for any modification or deletion of a POI locked at L6, even when the action is initiated by another Level 6 editor.
Benefits:
Prevent unintentional destructive modifications or deletions on strategic or event-driven points.
Ensure peer review (mandatory validation by another L6 editor or the lock creator) before final application.
Secure high-stakes operational data (partnerships, major events, critical infrastructure).

iOS27 CarPlay Alternate Route List
The window for alternate routes in the new iOS27 CarPlay needs to be bigger. It only displays one route at a time and is hard to scroll. Bring back the larger box that allows for multiple routes to all be seen at one time

Proactive Alert for Upcoming Passing Lanes / Climbing Lanes (3rd Lane)
PROPOSAL: Add a proactive voice and visual alert for upcoming passing lanes or climbing lanes (3rd lane) at 1km and 500m (e.g., "Passing lane in 500 meters").
PROBLEM: On single-lane highways, poor road signage combined with driver impatience behind slow vehicles leads to high-risk overtaking. Drivers often execute dangerous passes just meters before a dedicated 3rd lane they didn't know was ahead.
SAFETY IMPACT: Early notification shapes driver behavior. Knowing a safe overtaking opportunity is nearby reduces impatience and prevents severe head-on collisions.

PROPOSTA: Adicionar alerta sonoro e visual de início de terceira faixa / ponto de ultrapassagem a 1 km e 500m.
PROBLEMA: Em rodovias de pista simples, a falta de sinalização e a impaciência fazem motoristas arriscarem ultrapassagens perigosas pouco antes de locais com terceira faixa que eles desconheciam.
IMPACTO NA SEGURANÇA: Avisar com antecedência acalma o motorista, que aguarda o local seguro e evita colisões frontais gravíssimas.ALSO ADD: Early voice alerts for sharp and dangerous curves ahead, especially on single-lane roads with low visibility.

Automate Far Lanes
Given mutiple (2 or more) turn or continue straight lanes (road width) at point X, with a turn upcoming within 1/2 mile (suggested) at point Y, Waze should automate the recommended turn lane at point X. At least initially, this feature should be able to be over-ridden by editors and the feature should not overwrite any existing far lane or junction box configurations.

suggestion
Suggestion:
The speed limit icon on the HUD is currently too small and difficult to read at a glance relative to the current driving speed. Please consider adding an option to resize, scale up, or customize the speed limit badge display in the app UI. Increasing its visual target value and font size will significantly improve perception-response time and driver safety at higher speeds.3 votes -
Poor contrast in ios27 carplay
Hello,
I would like to report that the contrast of the Routes button and the Change Sounds button on car play are lacking in contrast. The route button has a black arrow pointing in multiple direction over a dark gray button over a dark gray background. The change sounds is the same colors, but with the speaker. When not in CarPlay, this issue is fixed by using white colored icons instead of black ones. I am writing to request that a change like this be made in the CarPlay UI as well. I have an Apple iPhone 16e running iOS 27. Thank you.Hello,

Custom distance alert selection
I'd like to request a feature that lets users customize which distance-based voice alerts play during navigation.
Currently, Waze announces upcoming turns at multiple fixed intervals (e.g., 0.6 miles, 0.5 miles, 0.25 miles, 0.1 miles, and "now"). For drivers who don't need that many reminders, this can feel repetitive and add unnecessary noise to the drive.
It would be great to have the option to select only the specific alert distances we want — for example, just a half-mile warning and a tenth-of-a-mile warning, plus the final turn alert — rather than being locked into all the preset intervals.
I use Waze regularly with a custom recorded voice, and this kind of control would make the experience much better.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Quick Travel Mode Switching for Users with Multiple Vehicles
This feature has already been suggested by the Waze community, and it appears to be a recurring request from multiple users since years. However, there does not seem to have been any update or response regarding its development.
Context
I use Waze both as a car driver and as a motorcyclist, so I regularly switch between different modes of transportation depending on the trip.
The problem
Currently, changing the travel mode is not quick or easily accessible. To switch from car to motorcycle, I have to navigate through several menus and access the settings to change my vehicle.
This is particularly inconvenient for users who regularly alternate between multiple vehicles. The need is quite simple: quickly tell Waze which vehicle I am going to use for my next trip.
Proposed solution
I suggest allowing users to configure the different modes of transportation they regularly use in their profile: car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc.
For users who only have one mode configured, nothing would change.
However, when a user has multiple modes configured, Waze could display a quick selection pop-up when opening the app, for example:
Which vehicle are you using today?
🚗 Car | 🏍️ MotorcycleThe user could then select their preferred mode with a single tap, and Waze would use the appropriate navigation settings.
This pop-up could be enabled or disabled in the settings, giving users control over the feature.
It would also be useful to have this selection directly available when searching for a route, particularly when planning a trip scheduled for later. In this situation, a user may plan a trip several hours or even days in advance without yet knowing whether they will travel by car or motorcycle. Being able to select the travel mode directly when planning the route would avoid having to change the settings later.
Goal
The goal would be to make switching between travel modes possible in one or two taps, while keeping the current interface unchanged for users who only use one mode of transportation.
I believe this would be particularly useful for people who regularly use multiple vehicles, especially drivers and motorcyclists.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Feature: Quick Peek Upcoming Turns
For unfamiliar roads, I want a quick and intuitive way to “peek” at my next turn so I can position my car properly in advance.
Let users manually scroll the map ahead to an upcoming turn. The turn closest to the centre of the screen should automatically be highlighted and show its turn information. The turn highlight colour and turn information background colour could match, making the visual connection between the highlighted turn and its information immediately clear.
This is especially useful when multiple turns are close together. As the user moves the map, the highlighted turn would clearly indicate which specific turn they are currently viewing, removing any ambiguity about which turn the displayed information refers to.
Sometimes Waze already displays a simplified version of the next turn directly below the current navigation instruction. Allow users to enable an “Always show next turn” option so this information is always available. The entire next-turn information area could then be tappable to trigger the “peek”, rather than requiring a separate button, making it easier to use on the go. A small “Peek” CTA could also be added to help users discover this function.
When the user taps the next-turn information, the map would automatically zoom out so they can see both their current location and the highlighted next turn on the same screen. This lets users immediately understand how far away the next turn is and where it is in relation to their current location.
The upcoming turn could also be slightly enlarged in addition to being highlighted, making it easier to identify when the turn is further away and the map needs to zoom out significantly.
Importantly, the map should not automatically move the user's current position to the next turn. If the turn is far away, this could cause the user to lose their current position and make the map less useful for immediate navigation. Keeping the current location visible while showing the next turn provides useful context without disrupting navigation.
If the user wants a closer look at the next turn, they can tap the highlighted turn, which would automatically zoom the map in to that turn.
After peeking ahead, provide an easy-to-press “Return to current location” button. Alternatively, the map could automatically return to the driver's current location after a short countdown.
When the user returns to their current location, the turn information should revert to the current navigation instruction and its default background colour, providing a clear visual distinction between peeking at an upcoming turn and navigating the current one.
This would give drivers a simple way to understand an upcoming turn and prepare for it early, helping reduce last-minute lane changes, missed turns, and uncertainty on unfamiliar roads.

Permanent warning of the possibility of animal crossing
Hi, It occurred to me that it would be useful to have a permanent warning (like the Tutor) of the possibility of wild animals (like deer) or domestic animals (like cows) crossing the road.
My suggestion is for the following feature: Added permanent warning “Possible animal crossing”.
My suggestion solves this problem: Know how far and how many kilometers you’ll be at risk of animals crossing the road. Don’t be caught unprepared when dealing with animals.
In more words: The warning would be similar to the average speed control warning. This warning doesn’t replace the animal warning, but it would provide advance warning of the possibility of animals crossing the road. If an animal were on the road at that moment, the animal warning button would be used.

"I would like to request that the audible speed limit warning feature be made available even when a navigation route is not actively set. Many users, including myself, frequently drive on familiar routes where turn-by-turn navigation is not needed, but we still want to be alerted when exceeding the speed limit for safety reasons. Currently, the audible warning only triggers during active navigation, which makes the app less useful for daily commutes. Please consider adding an option in the settings to enable these alerts regardless of whether a destination is set or not."
