Automated Incident Emergency Detection & Location Screen Change and 3 type descriptor
Unless it is your day job, and even then, most people faced with an emergency situation either as a victim or a witness, especially in a vehicle, will suffer immense rushes of adrenaline pumping around the body, any injuries invoke confusion as delayed shock sets in.
Is there/ can there be any rapid single panic-proof (user option selected) - such as 5 second hold of fingers on the screen in two places simultaneously or gyroscopic sudden impact detection via phone or user holds max/min volume buttons at their max point for a duration (viz like Apple power down) - depending…

Help improve law enforcement accountability by creating an icon that drivers can press when they are being pulled over.
The primary function of this feature would be to create a transparent public record of drivers’ interactions with law enforcement, creating a database that could be used to improve accountability and reduce racial or other forms of bias by law enforcement.
Traffic stops are one of the most common forms of interaction with law enforcement in our daily lives. After a rash of recent deadly traffic stops involving African American victims of police violence, there is heightened attention to racial bias in traffic law enforcement. The problem is, academics and policymakers trying to identify racial bias often lack the data…

Voice Change Glitch and Popping Sound?
When using Waze with voice enabled it switches to a different voice for some lines? It didn’t always but lately it switches from the normal voice to a young girl calling red light cameras “Stoplight paparazzi” lol. Also, sometimes while driving with alerts only the music lowers and a pop sound plays and the music returns?? What does that mean?

Voice navigation bug
When I in Settings - Sound and Voice turn off sound, in some cases ( for example road warnings, speed cameras) waze send "sound notification" to android, which cause mute music, although waze does not say anything. It is annoying, when I drive in my town, waze is launched only for control my speed (via gps) and sometimes mutes music without any reason. Please, fix this. Thanks.

As Guide of Rome I would love to have a Waze to alarm defense vs. terror!
Nobody knows a City like mine better than local guides. We note every tiny change and danger, if any around: sending an icon of danger or asking for help from a specific location, warning video cameras could be rapidly directed towards the event spot, alarming defense, allowing to call who sent an icon, for more information, if necessary. Perfect and low cost, since system already exists, needing just a few more icons! Ciao, Ned Fassio

Keep Police info please!!
Hello. Please DO NOT eliminate the feature that allows drivers to know about the locations of Police, speed traps, traffic cameras, etc. I saw on the news that Police are asking you to eliminate that info. In Fact, having that info makes drivers safer. Drivers slow down, and respect the rules of the road more. Plus, communicating and free speech are our rights as citizens, and as a community who wishes to be better informed, rather then less informed. Thank you

Notification and alerts
Hi team,
Great work on this service—really appreciate what you're doing! I have two suggestions that could enhance the experience:
Would it be possible to receive earlier notifications for speed traps?
Could we also get an audible notification for permanent speed cameras, rather than just having them displayed on the screen? Since it's not always possible to keep an eye on the screen, a notification would be really helpful.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Best Regards.

Option to filter voice guidance by category
Please add the ability to filter voice guidance more precisely by event categories (e.g. via a simple checklist). Many drivers only need alerts for critical events – or only for some of them (accidents, police, hazards, speed cameras) – but not for every turn or road number. In other words, something more scalable than the current “full / alerts only” options. This would reduce distraction, improve safety, and make Waze more comfortable to use. The feature could be implemented with minimal effort, yet it would significantly increase the app’s value and attractiveness for many users.

Police alerts
My request is that you create another alert option which is police alerts alone. That is, the options should be: sound on, alerts, police only alerts, and no alerts. For me, the only real alert that I care about is if there are police or speed cameras.
When I use your app, I typically silence alerts because I don't want to hear about cars stopped on the side of the road and approaching railways, etc. I understand that's important to some people, but for me it just interrupts my music/podcast.

Option to Increase Map Symbol Size in Waze for CarPlay
The map symbols in Waze on CarPlay are currently too small, especially when the map is zoomed out. Important icons such as mobile speed cameras are barely visible while driving.
We kindly request a feature that allows users to adjust the size of map symbols manually, either via settings or dynamic scaling. Ideally, symbols should be allowed to scale up to the size of the current vehicle position icon (navigation arrow) for better visibility.
This feature would greatly improve safety and usability, as many essential warnings are currently too easy to miss.
Thank you for considering this improvement.

Emrgency vehicles
When driving, waze allarms me for cars on the road banks, speed trafic cameras policeman ahead hazards etc. Also I can see other wazers on the map.
With my windows closed, if there is an imergency syren yelling by, I often fail to locat the exect location and direction of that ambulance/ police or fire fighters. I think I am not the only one feelling so.
So.If all the emergency units on the road wil be on the waze, it will prompt the souranding driversv for rheir existance and exact location on the users maps.

Make trip info screen to refresh itself when opened with the ^ button.
Trip info window that opens with ^ button should refresh itself every time when it is called. Right now if I want to update it I have to stop navigation and close Waze and start it again and set my destination again.
Sometimes I want to look what is ahead without scroll the whole navigation map (which sometimes I do) and that distracts me from the road.
Sometimes I want to check how soon are the speed cameras or something else.
Currently trip info windows just shows static info from the beginning of navigation which is not convenient for…1 vote -
waze improvements
Hi, I would like to suggest some improvements.
1. once the address has been entered, the navigator should immediately start without selecting <via> + <partenza> so as not to waste time (in case you need to add buttons to the side to be pressed within 2 seconds).
2. I don't understand if the favorites are in order of insertion, distance but they should be in alphabetical order or with the possibility of user choice
3. report speed cameras, patrols and dangers with a strong audio signal even if the speed limits are not exceeded
4. do not interrupt the…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I have several ideas
First I have been through 2 permanent speed cameras Waze did not warn me about. Although it might say turn in 300 metres, I have no conception of distance and if a few streets are close I don’t know which one and It needs to tell you to turn here about 2 secs earlier then it does I miss streets and need to be in other lanes to turn esp. in the city where there are lots of one way streets and turn only lanes. I’m on iPhone and I hate that it turns off Siri google DOES NOT…

Ai
Dear Waze Product Team,
My name is Yeuda Chayoth, and I am reaching out from Givat Shmuel, Israel. I’d like to propose a new AI-powered feature for the Waze platform, designed to offer users greater control over their driving experience beyond time and traffic.
The concept — Waze StealthDrive AI — enables users to:
- Avoid highways, traffic cameras, or specific zones based on personal preferences
- Select “stealth modes” that reduce exposure to enforcement or tracking
- Let the AI learn and adapt to individual driving habits over time
- Suggest quieter or safer routes (e.g. shaded roads…1 vote -
Suggestion d'un concept publicitaire
Bonjour,
Ayant toujours été séduit par la qualité unique du GPS WAZE, j'aimerais vous proposer 2 concepts de publicité:CONCEPT 1 :
On voit un groupe de touristes coincés dans un vieux pont de corde, tout le monde est entrain de paniquer et hurler, une femme trébuche même, et s’agrippe difficilement à un homme à côté.
Juste devant ce pont, on voit un philippin avec son groupe de touristes sur un pont MODERNE , tout le monde les regarde bizarrement !!! Le philippin jette un coup d’œil sur son GPS (marqué dessus WAZE), et ce dernier lui indique qu'il faut…

Speed Limit indicators on map
It would add to safer driving to have speed limit changes show up as standard indicators on the map while driving, meaning seeing them approach just like any other indicator on the map.
Current issues/reasons:
1. In South Africa we have many areas where the speed limit road signs are missing. I count four that are missing on my daily route alone, and this is extremely dangerous with frequent sudden braking necessary immediately after realizing the speed limit has changed without prior notice.
2. There are often speed cameras directly after a speed limit change, which is a nice…1 vote -
Show icon when entering and exiting the danger zone on the map
Hello,
Would it be possible to improve the announcement of danger zones for France (because in our country, announcing the precise location of speed cameras is prohibited!)?
The ideal would be to have an icon when you enter and another icon when you leave a danger zone in addition to the voice announcement and the small frame at the top left.
If we could also have on the road, a color associated with danger zones as in the style of traffic announcements, to best indicate the duration of the zone.Other applications like Tomtom do so why not Waze!…
