Show the following maneuver at least 2 km ahead for better lane positioning
Waze should provide an early visual preview of the maneuver that comes after the currently upcoming maneuver.
The idea is to give drivers visibility of the following maneuver at least up to 2 km ahead, rather than showing it only when two maneuvers are extremely close together.
The purpose is not to start navigating to the second maneuver early. The second maneuver does not need a voice announcement, distance countdown, street name or other detailed information.
A small directional arrow below the primary maneuver would be enough.
For example:
↗ Exit right in 800 m
then ↙This simply tells the driver:
“After completing the upcoming maneuver, the next maneuver will be to the left.”
Why this matters
The following maneuver can influence how the driver should execute the first maneuver.
Consider a large and congested motorway interchange around Rotterdam.
Waze may tell the driver to take a branch to the right. After taking that branch, the route may require another maneuver to the left only 1–2 km later.
If the driver only learns about that second maneuver after completing the first one, they may already have positioned themselves in the far-right lane. They then have very little time to cross several busy lanes.
If Waze showed a small “then left” arrow while the driver was still approaching the first maneuver, the driver could consciously choose a lane through the first interchange that leaves them conveniently positioned for the second maneuver.
This is especially useful on large motorway interchanges, where 1–2 km is not a long distance at motorway speeds, particularly in heavy traffic.
The same applies in congested cities. If the next maneuver after a right turn will be a left turn, knowing this beforehand can help the driver choose the appropriate turning lane and finish the first maneuver already positioned correctly for what comes next.
Suggested behaviour
Waze should provide visibility of the following maneuver at least 2 km ahead, where practical.
The secondary maneuver could be displayed simply as a small arrow underneath the primary navigation instruction.
It does not necessarily need:
- a voice announcement,
- its own distance countdown,
- a street or exit name,
- or full navigation details.
It is simply an early directional preview.
The normal detailed instruction for the second maneuver would still appear at the appropriate time.
The goal is simple: let the driver know what comes after the current maneuver early enough to execute the current maneuver with the next one already in mind.
This would make lane positioning more deliberate, predictable and comfortable, especially on complex motorway interchanges and in dense urban traffic.

Partner Hub Alerts with road segments included
Currently, Waze alerts are primarily point-based, which limits the ability to effectively communicate longer-stretching road hazards, such as extended areas of damaged pavement, roadworks, or adverse weather conditions across multiple segments.
I propose introducing an enhanced feature within the Waze Partner Hub that allows partners and authorized editors to define specific, continuous road segments (single or multiple) where an alert remains persistently active from start to finish.
To ensure optimal user experience and prevent user interface clutter, this feature should incorporate a smart priority rotation system. The extended segment alert would remain visible to drivers for the entire duration of the chosen route segments. If a localized, immediate hazard occurs along that same stretch, such as a stopped vehicle reported by another user requiring a confirmation prompt, the extended segment alert would temporarily hide. This allows the driver to safely interact with the immediate safety prompt. Once the localized interaction is resolved, the primary continuous segment alert would automatically reappear.
This enhancement would significantly improve safety and clarity for drivers on long stretches of road hazards while giving road authorities more precise control through the Partner Hub.

Option to avoid specific freeways and tolls
We need an additional function wherein we can choose or exempt specific freeways and tolls from the route. For example, we are okay driving through tolls and freeways like CALAX, SLEX, NLEX, or SCTEX but want to avoid only SKYWAY specifically and not to drive through it (SKYWAY).

Feature request: Audio alerts for speed cameras when screen is locked and regardless of speed
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing to suggest a feature that would significantly improve safety and usability for motorcyclists using your new Moto Mode.
The problem:
When riding a motorcycle, the phone is often in my pocket or mounted with the screen off to save battery. Currently, Waze speed camera alerts are only audible if the driver exceeds the speed limit . If I'm riding within the limit, the alert is only visual, and with the screen locked or off, I receive no warning at all.
The request:
Please add an optional setting (in Settings > Alerts & reports > Speed cameras) that allows users to always receive audible speed camera alerts, regardless of their speed and even when the device is locked/screen is off.
Why this is important:
- Motorcyclist safety: An audible alert allows the rider to know a camera is ahead without taking their eyes off the road to check the screen. This is critical on a motorcycle where visual attention must remain on traffic.
- Consistency with Moto Mode: This feature aligns perfectly with the recent Moto Mode improvements, which already focus on anticipating road hazards (potholes, speed bumps) to enhance rider safety. Speed cameras are another hazard that riders need to know about proactively.
- Better user experience: It would allow riders to run Waze in the background with the screen off (e.g., in a pocket) knowing they'll receive all relevant alerts, regardless of their current speed.
Thank you for considering this request. I believe it would be a valuable addition for the motorcycling community.
Best regards,
A Waze riderHello Waze Team,

Feature Request: Touch Lock
Please add a touch lock feature, similar to VLC or MX Player.
As a motorcycle rider, my phone screen gets exposed to rain. Raindrops land on the screen and register as random touches — sometimes changing my route or opening settings, which disrupts my navigation mid-ride.
A touch lock would let the screen stay visible without accepting accidental taps, keeping the map view stable in wet conditions.
Suggested implementation: a lock button on screen that, when tapped, disables touch input. To unlock, the rider swipes across a designated area (same pattern used in VLC/MX Player), preventing accidental unlocks from stray raindrops.

Police alert distance setting
I researched using Gemini (just as Waze also belongs to Google) to find out the distance Waze uses to warn about the presence of police, and it indicated it should be between 1 km and 1.5 km before the vehicle is located (approximately 2 miles); I have been receiving warnings less than half a mile (300 m) away. For notifications about police ahead, Waze could anticipate the warning a little further (2.5 km or 4 miles), or include the option to configure the distance, since they are occurring too close to the police officer's location, thus losing effectiveness (this has happened several times). I know it depends on who posted the warning. And whoever posted it may have done so slightly ahead of the police officer's location. This situation further justifies this change.

Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Waze already detects traffic speed in real time. Please add an optional voice warning such as:
"Heavy traffic ahead. Reduce your speed."
Trigger the alert when the average speed drops abruptly (for example, from 100 km/h to below 30 km/h within a short distance).
This would improve safety on highways by giving drivers more time to brake smoothly and reducing rear-end collisions. The feature should be optional in Settings.

Convoy Mode
Subject: Feature Request: "Convoy Mode" - Real-time Route Sharing for Multiple Cars
Message:
To the Waze Development Team,I am a daily Waze user and a big fan of your navigation system. However, there is a missing feature that would greatly improve the experience for many users: a true "Convoy Mode" or Group Navigation.
Currently, the "Share Drive" feature is lagging, clunky, and doesn't clearly show the route of the other driver. When families or friends travel to the same destination in multiple cars, we need to see each other's live location directly on the highlighted route.
The proposed feature:
A shared session where multiple drivers navigating to the same destination can see each other as distinct icons moving smoothly along the designated route on the map, in real-time, without delay.Google Maps has a better live location sharing, but Waze is superior for navigation and traffic alerts. Adding a "Convoy Mode" would prevent users from having to use other apps just to keep track of each other during group trips.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Reoccuring online check
Waze appears to check for an internet connection only when the app first starts. If no connection is available at that point, it switches to an offline-maps-only mode. However, it does not seem to check again for connectivity while the app remains open.
For example, my car’s Wi‑Fi can take a few minutes to start after the ignition is turned on. If I open Waze before the Wi‑Fi is connected, the app stays offline even once the connection becomes available. To restore online functionality, I currently have to either start and cancel a route or fully close and reopen the app.
Please add periodic or event-based internet connectivity checks while Waze is running in offline mode. The app should automatically return to online operation as soon as a usable connection becomes available, without requiring the user to take manual action.
This would also help drivers who begin a journey in an area with no mobile signal but regain coverage later. At present, they may continue using Waze offline for the entire journey unless they manually trigger a refresh or restart the app.
