Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like…

Do not ask to rate the app when car is moving.
There have been numerous times while driving where I need to open the Waze app to navigate somewhere and have had to take the time to close the "Rate Us" screen.
I do not think this should never pop up if the car is moving. Not a whole lot different than preventing typing while driving as it does distract a little more trying to see where to close it or, if someone accidentally touches the area to go rate, then they have to go back to start navigating.

zone de danger radar france
Fixed danger zones are not displayed when navigation is not activated, unlike the Coyote or tomtom application where the zones are signaled until the end. "you enter a danger zone" and this disappears instantly before even passing a fixed radar. Waze must keep the alert throughout the area, even if the route navigation is not activated ( FRANCE )

Improve!!
The app was amazing for the time 4 years ago... Stop taking all the data and using it for gmaps and not reciprocating by putting some money into map control and manipulation. The finger pinch zoom is horibble to put it lightly! It seems from a user's point of view that the relationship between Google and Waze is like a child who eats all of the frosting off a cupcake and leaves the rest for his dad to eat. Ya it will fill him up but looks like shit and doesn't taste as good as it could!

Add a "Not a Hazard" button
Too many people report cars parked in rest stops and small divots as hazards.
If there was an option to report back to the user that the car or pothole they reported as a hazard shouldn't have been.
The button would compliment the "still there" and "not there" buttons and maybe notify the original reporter if (say) 3 or 5 "Not a Hazard" reports came in.
Users that continue to report incorrect hazards could be blocked from reporting for a month or so.

Map
It is too hard to see the traffic delays, speed of the tragic on particular roads, what kind of hazard is being reported. The map before this was very user friendly and it was super easy to glance at the map and decide which areas/roads to avoid. Now I have to really analyze the map and bring the map into zoom so much that the road names are no longer listed. I now check the other apps to glance over the traffic and rely less on Waze

Driving with friends
I usually travel with my friends, each one with his own car, and we like to stick together. It will be useful if we can create a group of friends in app, to share a route for everybody to follow, to see the live location of every member of the group, to see their ETA to the meeting point, to alarm the group if something happens, to see if I leave the group's original route, to call the group for a rest stop.

EMERGENCY FIRE RESPONSE ASSISTANCE
Hi Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature called “Emergency Fire Response Assistance” to help firefighters reach fire incidents faster and improve traffic flow around emergency scenes.
This feature could allow authorized responders to tag a “Fire Incident Zone” with the exact address, providing quick routes that avoid traffic and obstacles. Nearby users would get alerts to take alternative routes, helping clear the way for responders.
Additionally, dispatch centers could send real-time updates to firefighters (like building entry points or obstacles) for more precise navigation. Once an incident is resolved, responders could mark the area as “clear,” lifting any…

Variable speed
Show the slower speed for variable speed zones.
In Melbourne Australia there are many variable speed zones where the slower speed is set for a longer period. Eg. 40km between 7am and midnight. That should be the speed set for that area as that is the speed for the majority of the day, not the higher speed.2 votes -

Search on the Live Map webpage does not work
More of a bug report. When I type in a name of a business or an explicit address and hit return, nothing happens.
If I put in a search and select a suggestion, it works. But, if I'm looking for "Restaurants" to see what is available in the view area, I cannot type restaurant and hit enter/return. It does nothing.
This is true of both browsers below.

Motorcycle Routes
I ride a motorcycle a make my own routes with MRA (MyRoute.App). I have used REVER, Harley Rider, Kuviger, and other programs to make motorcycle routes. Up load my designed routes to a GARMIN Zumo GPS. It does a pretty good job, but WAZES has some features that a standalone GPS does not offer. I am looking for a good navigation app like WAZE for my phone that I can upload my routes. Then I follow a specific route. Many of these routes are 100+ mile loop with a stop for a meal.
I think WAZE would be a great…

Sinalização da área de ultrapassagem
Acho interessante uma marcação no mapa indicando que determinado trecho vai ser possível realizar ultrapassagem. Sempre que não conhecemos a rodovia e estamos atrás de um determinado veículo, temos que ficar “adivinhando” quando vai ser possível realizar a ultrapassagem, ou então, quando é possível realizar a ultrapassagem não estamos atentos e perdemos o tempo. Acredito que pode ser de grande utilidade conseguir visualizar no mapa as retas que são possíveis realizar ultrapassagem. Inclusive pode ajudar a evitar acidentes, já que algumas pessoas não tem paciência e acabam fazendo ultrapassagem em local não permitido e as vezes 1km para frente já…

You’ve included the REM rapid transit tracks on your Montreal area maps. Another useful update here would be to show the locations of the stations along the way.

Close the Segment user is currently on
In Rural areas the users may encounter a situation where the road may be closed due to a problem like a downed tree or other issues. In order for Waze to re-route it needs to know that the road is closed and there is no way to report a closure of the current segment that they are on. App only allows reporting of the closure from the nearest intersection in the direction of travel, which will fail to re-route.
