  3. Voice/audio command instances & timing

    The timing of the audible commands should be perfectly consistent. I drive a semi thru all 48 states and sometimes it seems like the audible voice command forgets or seems to pick and choose when to tell me the next instruction, and I would like to not have to mess with my phone while driving to pull the wave app back on screen if it isn't already, read the instruction, and navigate the onscreen map to see where to turn while in heavy traffic on urban roads/hwys I'm unfamiliar with trying not to miss my turn. Sometimes, it'll announce 300…

  4. Speed indicator

    When the phone is in landscape mode, the speed indicator can be sometimes hidden by the lanes indicator when it pops up.
    Is it possible to put the speed indicator on the foreground or move it when it is hidden under another object?
    Thank you

  6. Sharing Tips

    Sharing tips about an specific area, that would pop up as you drive. Remarks written by drivers for specify roads or areas, such as "people crossing out of crossing lanes", "wet when slippery", "skate boarders often on the road"....just random tips that the drivers could write according to their opinion. It could be turned off by the driver once he/she has read it and it would never show up again. Tips that locals know and can improve driving safety and it's hard to create specific topics. Just custom made tips.

  7. Color code car icon by distance

    When Waze zooms in & out, the car icon stays the same size. Why not color code the car icon, green for when you are far away, yellow when you are close & need to change lanes for a turn/exit, red when you are within a quarter mile.

  8. Car stopped ON road ie: transport unloading new cars

    In Ontario we have frequent stopped vehicles in the centre turning lanes of roadways. They stop to unload new vehicles for car dealerships. Would like an option to report car/vehicle stopped ON the roadway, separate from the “car on shoulder” option

  9. More voice warning before freeway exits, regardless of speed

    I noticed that the location of the voice instruction you hear before a freeway exit varies based on how fast you're going.
    Around 100 km/h, you get the voice instruction 1.5 kilometres before your exit.
    Around 80 km/h, you get the voice warning about 1 km before the exit.
    Around 60 km/h, you get the warning just 300 metres before the exit.

    It's the last one that I think is a problem. Some drivers rely mostly on the voice instructions either because we don't have a phone stand or because of restrictive laws regarding phone use while driving. And if…

  10. Improved Screen Layout on Larger Screens

    Dear Waze,

    First, let me complement you on a great product. I use it almost daily.
    More importantly, you got a more meaningful compliment from Google on your great job.

    As a user of your product, please allow me some user feedback which I would hope you may implement in your product.

    Until now, I used Waze on different mobile phones.
    Recently I purchased a new car with a 7'' screen.
    After having used it, please allow me some customer feedback and suggestions for implementation relating to the way you display information on larger screens.

    Seems to me that you…

  11. Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are. However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads

    Hi, we love using the Waze app for travelling where ever we are.

    However it would be great if there was a setting for avoiding minor roads or entering the size of vehicle. We occasionally tow a 7.5m caravan and last week when Waze re directed us due to heavy traffic we found ourselves in very narrow lanes with the caravan in tow - very stressful. A warning stating route unsuitable for large vehicles might even suffice?

    Please can you consider this as an update.

    Many thanks

  12. Navigate toll roads even when pass not entered in settings.

    I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the…

  13. Streamline CarPlay display

    I totally appreciate turning off the ability to add comments to traffic reports while on CarPlay. But if they're not going to expand so I can read something someone's already commented, can those green bubbles stay off the map?

    For accidents and road work, it would be nice to be able to see which lanes are closed (if any) to avoid merging at the last minute.

  14. Add Support for Mopeds, Bicycles & Moped Speed Checks (Known as Rollerbanks)

    I suggest adding support for mopeds and bicycles as selectable vehicle types in Waze, allowing users to receive more accurate routes tailored to bike lanes and moped-accessible roads. Additionally, introducing a report option for roadside speed checks specific to mopeds (commonly known as "rollerbanks" in some regions) would greatly benefit two-wheeler users by improving route awareness and promoting fair, transparent traffic monitoring.

  16. A feature that allows drivers to get help quickly if they break down in a tunnel with Waze beacons installed

    When you enter a tunnel, and the Waze app senses this, it will put another icon on the screen, such as a red triangle with an exclamation mark, the same as your vehicles hazard light button.

    If you get into trouble, you tap this button, and it brings up a screen that gives the tunnel operator's name and phone number (button), along with the direction of travel and exact location, e.g., nearest road marker on the wall. This information would be critical for quickly getting CCTV vision, lane closure lights, and dispatch of tow trucks.

    It could also tell you…

  17. LitterGram Car Mode

    LitterGram is a popular app in the UK and is quickly becoming the new way for 40m smartphone users to report litter to councils so they can clean it up. We are about to trial LitterGram car mode which will allow drivers to hit a button on their steering wheel whilst driving and map the littered roads/highways/lanes. Britain is the 3rd most littered nation globally and has a serious problem. This new feature will help clean up our highways and make driving in our country a better experience for the motorist. It would be great to see if…

  18. Safety

    Using Waze I drove from Long Branch NJ to Merrick NY. I was directed from NJ Rt. 36 onto the express lanes of the Garden State Parkway north to exit at exit 125. The express lanes end 1/4 mile from exit 125 on the right, requiring that I cut across 3 lanes of moving traffic at a high speed in a very short distance in order to get to the exit. The directions should be changed to instruct the driver to use the local lanes of the Garden State Parkway northbound so that the vehicle is…

  20. 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.
