Odcinkowy pomiar prędkości
PL: Obecnie podczas przejazdu przez odcinkowy pomiar prędkości Waze pokazuje ikonę OPP oraz dystans pozostały do końca odcinka. Ikona wyświetlana jest w jednym, stałym kolorze jasnoniebieskim, niezależnie od tego, czy kierowca jedzie w bezpiecznym tempie, czy przekracza dozwoloną średnią prędkość na odcinku – pełni więc funkcję czysto informacyjną („jesteś na OPP”), ale nie mówi nic o tym, czy aktualne tempo jazdy jest odpowiednie. Kierowca nie ma też informacji, ile ma zapasu lub niedoboru czasu względem limitu. Utrudnia to płynne dostosowanie prędkości i zwiększa ryzyko przekroczenia limitu na końcu odcinka albo niepotrzebnego, gwałtownego hamowania tuż przed jego zakończeniem.
Propozycja funkcji:
Dynamiczny kolor ikony OPP na dole ekranu
Proponuję, aby kolor ikony zmieniał się dynamicznie w zależności od tego, czy kierowca mieści się w limicie średniej prędkości na danym odcinku:
🟢 Zielony – kierowca jedzie w tempie pozwalającym zmieścić się w dozwolonej średniej prędkości na całym odcinku (ma zapas czasowy).
🔴 Czerwony – kierowca jedzie za szybko względem dozwolonej średniej i musi zwolnić, by nie przekroczyć limitu na końcu OPP.
🔵 (opcjonalnie, jako stan pośredni/domyślny) – jasnoniebieski, tak jak obecnie, gdy system jeszcze nie ma wystarczających danych do wyliczenia zapasu/deficytu (np. tuż po wjeździe na odcinek).
Dodatkowa informacja liczbowa pod dystansem do końca odcinka
Przy zielonej ikonie: np. „Zapas: możesz jechać ~15 km/h szybciej przez pozostały odcinek i się zmieścisz” lub prościej w sekundach: „Masz 15 s zapasu do końca odcinka”.
Przy czerwonej ikonie: np. „Jedziesz za szybko – zwolnij, przekraczasz limit o 20 s” lub „Musisz stracić ~20 s do końca odcinka, by zmieścić się w limicie”.
Sposób wyliczania
Aplikacja zna: (a) długość całego odcinka OPP, (b) limit prędkości/średniej na tym odcinku, (c) aktualną pozycję i czas, jaki upłynął od wjazdu na odcinek. Na tej podstawie może w czasie rzeczywistym wyliczać „czas idealny” (jaki powinien upłynąć przy jeździe dokładnie z limitem) i porównywać go z rzeczywistym czasem przejazdu – różnica to właśnie zapas/deficyt w sekundach.
Korzyści:
Kierowca dostaje czytelną, jednoznaczną informację zwrotną (kolor + liczba), a nie musi sam liczyć w głowie, ile ma jeszcze prędkości do zapasu.
Zmniejsza ryzyko gwałtownego hamowania tuż przed końcem OPP (co poprawia bezpieczeństwo).
Pomaga uniknąć niepotrzebnych mandatów przy jednoczesnym płynniejszym, bardziej ekonomicznym stylu jazdy.
Wpisuje się w filozofię Waze jako aplikacji dbającej o komfort i bezpieczeństwo kierowcy.ENG: Currently, while driving through a section with average speed control (Section Control / average speed cameras), Waze only shows the section-control icon along with the remaining distance to the end of the section. The icon is displayed in a single, fixed light blue color, regardless of whether the driver is keeping a safe pace or exceeding the allowed average speed for the section — it therefore serves a purely informational purpose ("you are in a speed-controlled section"), but says nothing about whether the current driving pace is appropriate. Drivers also have no information about how much time buffer or deficit they have relative to the limit. This makes it harder to smoothly adjust speed and increases the risk of exceeding the limit near the end of the section, or of unnecessary hard braking right before it ends.
Proposed feature:
Dynamic color of the section-control icon at the bottom of the screen
I propose that the icon's color change dynamically depending on whether the driver is staying within the average speed limit for the given section:
🟢 Green – the driver is driving at a pace that will keep them within the allowed average speed for the entire section (they have a time buffer).
🔴 Red – the driver is going too fast relative to the allowed average and needs to slow down in order not to exceed the limit by the end of the section.
🔵 (optional, as an intermediate/default state) – light blue, as it is now, when the system doesn't yet have enough data to calculate the buffer/deficit (e.g., right after entering the section).
Additional numeric info below the remaining distance
With the green icon: e.g. "Buffer: you can drive ~15 km/h faster for the rest of the section and still make it" or, more simply, in seconds: "You have a 15 s buffer until the end of the section."
With the red icon: e.g. "You're going too fast – slow down, you're exceeding the limit by 20 s" or "You need to lose ~20 s by the end of the section to stay within the limit."
Calculation method
The app already knows: (a) the total length of the section-control zone, (b) the speed/average limit for that section, (c) the current position and the time elapsed since entering the section. Based on this, it can calculate in real time the "ideal time" (the time that should elapse if driving exactly at the limit) and compare it with the actual elapsed time — the difference is exactly the buffer/deficit in seconds.
Benefits:
Drivers get clear, unambiguous feedback (color + number) instead of having to mentally calculate their remaining speed buffer themselves.
Reduces the risk of hard braking right before the end of the section (improving safety).
Helps avoid unnecessary speeding tickets while also encouraging a smoother, more fuel-efficient driving style.

Mark a location while driving for follow up for an issue
I know there's a similar idea, but no option to expand on it (maybe other users being able to expand on these suggestions would be good as well).
Basically, you mark a location, Waze gives you an option, to maybe record or voice to text a quick note so you can remember what the concern was later (maybe even say how much later), AND have some kind of indicator within the app or an email that will remind you later.3 votes -
Multi Waypoint Route Planning
Provide multi waypoint route planning, allowing shaping points for tailoring routes, and a library to store routes.
This could be achieved online via Google Maps and synch to Waze app, perhaps under a Subscription model.
Supporting export in GPX format would be a nice value add in support of this too.3 votes -

Customizable reporting shortcuts on the main screen
Waze should allow users to add two or three customizable reporting shortcuts to the main navigation screen.
For example, reporting a stopped vehicle currently requires several taps through different menus. While doing this, drivers must look at the screen instead of the road, which can be distracting and potentially dangerous.
Most users regularly use only a few of the available reporting options. Customizable one-tap shortcuts would make it possible to report common hazards much faster and return full attention to the road immediately.

Navigation interruption
When receiving a Botim or WhatsApp call while driving, Waze gets pushed to the background, interrupting map navigation. To prevent this, please add support for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. Additionally, if you re-open Waze after a call, it forces you to re-search the destination; the app should instead save the active trip and resume navigation automatically.
Suggested Fixes:
* Implement Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode so the map remains visible during calls.
* Ensure active navigation state is preserved so trips don't need to be restarted manually.3 votes -
Allow Waze users to correct sightings of "mobile police cameras" when it fact the devices are "license plate readers".
My town has many "license plate readers" that allow police to locate stolen cars or to respond to Amber and Silver alerts. Too many people report them as "mobile police cameras". These devices are not "mobile" and they are not intended to monitor speed. They are intended to locate bad actors. In fact, Waze should not identify these plate readers because they might help bad actors escape detection.

Have Red Light Camera(s) Take Over Traffic Lights
I've seen several users complaining about red light camera(s) not being mapped at many intersections, even though it is mapped (but can only be one-way direction (capturing rear license plates)), it's the traffic lights that are defeating the visibility of the red light camera. Basically, they have the impression that it's a new camera installed, when it's been there for months or years.
I believe users are more used to seeing red light camera(s) displayed on the map, whether it alerts or not when approaching one (like it was before the traffic light rollout), because it also has a traffic light icon inside the camera, making it recognizable as a TL intersection. See https://imgur.com/a/gUWKtiZ
This is NOT intended to mislead anyone (even senior editors). It's about some things that users were more used to when glancing at the screen to see where it's located (even if it doesn't alert them for rear license plates), but Waze should continue to say "At/After the light" if turning.

Network issues
When gps or network can't be found because you parked in a car park or garage. Can the app try and find a gps connection or network connection again ever 30 seconds or a minute for when you have reception again so waze can get updates.
When waze suggests directions to a regular destination. Can the box disappear after 30 seconds or a minute. The box stays indefinately at present and it's annoying to click on each time you start the car after stopping cause waze thinks it knows where you want to go.
Thx.3 votes -

New tag
I would like to propose a new tag to go with the police category. With the proliferation of license plate readers, I think there should be a new, separate tag for those. In my area, numerous people are tagging the readers as mobile police cameras, which is incorrect. I think it would benefit all users to add this tag.

Feature Request: Introduce Dimension-Based Vehicle Routing for Japan and Asia
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to propose the introduction of dimension-based vehicle restrictions.
Currently, Waze primarily relies on vehicle categories and passes, which work well in many Western regions. However, in Japan and much of Asia, road restrictions are strictly based on physical dimensions—specifically height, width, weight, and vehicle length.
Because current categories cannot fully account for these physical limitations, large vehicles often face risks or get stuck on unsuitable roads.
Proposed Solution:
Map Data: Allow map editors to configure road segments with specific limits for height, width, weight, and length.
User Input: Allow users to input their vehicle’s physical dimensions within the app.
Implementing this would significantly improve safety and navigation accuracy for trucks and large vehicles in Asia, creating a more consistent global experience. Thank you for considering this improvement.
