Update the car play / android auto app of Waze
Waze should be updated for car play user and android auto. We do not have full functionalities like the iOS or android mobile app. For example we can only report police, not hides ones or in the opposite side. Same for errors in the map, we can’t add a commentary if we use car play for example. All iOS and android fonctionnalités should be added to car play and android auto to have a 100% good,experience.

Custom vehicle
All want different vehicles, is it possible to either take picture of your vehicle or find on net and upload to waze. Then have waze turn it into your vehicle icon vs. The few you have like batman joker etc..
It would make this alot more personal, vs just adding vehicle in setting, which I belive is new.

You should be able to fully adjust the volume of the voice separately from the volume of music playing.
Add a volume bar to customize the sound of navigation voice over music. If listening to music at a higher level the voice is overwhelming.

Please add an immigration and customs enforcement Checkpoint
Could you please add an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Checkpoint item into a future version of waze? These are not police items, but can slow traffic down, so knowing in advance where they are would be COOL!

International Land Border Wait Time Predictions
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature enhancement that could significantly improve the accuracy of ETA predictions for routes involving international land borders, such as those between the USA and Canada or the USA and Mexico.
Current Situation:
At present, it appears that Waze calculates ETA for routes involving international land borders based on general traffic data. This approach treats the border crossing as a regular segment of the journey, comparing travel times between points A and B without considering the unique delays associated with border crossings.Proposed Enhancement:
To provide more accurate ETAs and better routing options, I propose that Waze integrates more detailed data analysis specifically for land border crossings. This could involve:Border-Specific Data Collection: Analyze the time it takes for drivers to move from the point they reach the border crossing line to the point they clear the crossing. This data should be collected continuously to capture variations throughout the day and week.
Real-Time Updates: Provide real-time updates on wait times at border crossings, similar to how traffic congestion is currently reported.
Alternative Routing: Use the detailed wait time data to offer more effective rerouting suggestions. If a particular crossing has a significant delay, Waze could suggest alternative crossings with shorter wait times.
User Feedback Integration: Allow users to report their wait times and border experiences, enhancing the data pool and improving prediction accuracy.
Benefits:
- Increased Accuracy: More precise ETA calculations for routes involving international borders.
- Improved User Experience: Users will have a clearer understanding of potential delays, allowing for better travel planning.
- Enhanced Routing: More effective reroutes can save time and reduce congestion at heavily impacted crossings.Implementing these features would make Waze an even more valuable tool for travelers who frequently cross international land borders. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

New instructions for crossroad junctions/interchange
In the UK, there has been an ongoing debate on the most effective way to map crossroad junctions where drivers have to cross a main road without priority, as shown in this image:
https://imgur.com/bpKJi9RThe default instructions do not include guidance for routes that go straight, leading to URs for missing instructions even when no turns are required. As there's no instruction, the driver may not realise they have to give way/stop, leading to a potential accident.
If we were to add a "Continue" instruction, it may imply priority, which is not the case, and again, this may lead to an accident.
This suggestion is to have two new instructions for these situations:
- Stop, then continue
- Give Way (or Yeild in US English) and continueThis will inform the user that they need to take action, but a turn isn't involved and shouldn't lead to confusion.

Only speed limit. Not current speed
I want to see my speed limit always with a big size. I don't wish to see my current speed. A car can show us our current speed.
But Waze shows both only and speed limit which I need most is very small. Why do we need to see our current speed there? Could you pls arrange settings for it?43 votes -

S-Turn penalties
In case of traffic even light, some ways become impossible to cross, mainly ave. with more than 3 or 4 lanes.
Proposal to include a S-Turn routing penalties in case of traffic in the crossing street.
This will avoid routing in ways with less than 200m (safe length for lane change is S-Turn even with traffic).

Allow the use of bluetooth controls while Waze is in the foreground.
When Waze is running in the foreground, my bluetooth controls don't work. So I have to do a whole bunch of on-screen gymnastics just to skip to the next track in my queue. This is potentially dangerous while driving. I should be able to use the button on my steering wheel. (It works fine when Waze isn't running.)
