Crazy driver alert
Love Waze. You need a crazy driver alert. Someone going too fast, weaving, talking on cell phone and not paying attention! You can even take a pic of their license.
Thanks!9 votes -
Comments on PURs
It would be nice to have a comment section on a PUR, especially for pictures. It would allow the editors to give a reason why the picture or update is being rejected. So maybe the next time they would try to take a better picture that did not include, faces, license plates, etc. I think this would help the community be more aware of what we as editors can accept. I think being able to tell them the reasons instead of just rejecting it would help more, due to the fact users my be confused or upset that their…

Accessibility improvements for people with visual disabilities
The Waze app used to be mostly accessible for use with screen readers like VoiceOver for iPhone by people with visual disabilities, such as blindness. However, now the tabs at the bottom are no longer recognised or read by the screen reader. Only location searches and selecting from a list of recent locations are accessible with the screen reader. Please improve the accessibility of this app for use with screen readers And refer to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 for guidance on making these improvements. Thank you

Average speed camera in IRAN
Hello waze
Recently in IRAN roads, many average speed traps are installed.
As you kbow these cameras catch not only the momentum speed but also catch the average speed between 2 cameras and in the whole road.
As you know they use SPECS (SPEed Check Services) system that use number plate recognition to measure the time taken between two fixed points to monitor a driver's average speed.
We, your greatfull application users in IRAN,
ask for activating average speed alarm in map and also in editor erea so the editors can edit and adjust it.Keep drive safely
Thank you20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

Implement Navigation for AM License vehicles (45kph)
It would be Great to have 45kph limited vehicles implemented...
that would need major changes tho...
we are allowed to drive all roads but: Autobahn, Autostraße (roads marked with a Car sign) cause these require a minimum topspeed of 60kph. https://www.wissenswertes.at/zeichen-autostrasse with an option to select a 45 top speed vehicle and the option on the editor to add Autostraße so u can just set the navigation to not take them like with autobahn/mautstraße^^ also adding a 45kph vehicle option could mean that other drivers could be warned like : Slow Vehicle Ahead^^

default toll
Change the DEFAULT 'avoid toll roads' setting to yes, requiring the driver explicitly know about the potential for being charged, especially now that many tolls are invoiced electronically based on plate number.

Add option to add sound decibel readers
NYC specifically in the 5 boroughs of new york as well as a couple of other states started a program for sound decibel readers to be installed through out the city in other words noise cameras for cars and motorcycles. NYC has always been a loud place so this is un necessary. It is also not right towards cars that come from the factory stock such as scat pack chargers, hellcats, mustangs, harley davidson motorcycles, sports bikes, As well as many super cars. The 1st noise violation is a insane price of approximately $800 the 2nd is approximately $1600…

adding no commercial plates filter
Allowing a filter for choosing passenger cars only routes or commercial vehicles allowed. This would be helpful to plan routes and side routes avoiding parkways or roads in the NYC area which do not allow commercial plated vehicles on those roads

Waze Upgrade
Dear Waze Company,
I am writing to you to propose the potential upgrade of Waze.
The upgrade I am proposing is that each user has an emoticon or icon (emoticons, random small photos, or photos of the users and the car and number plate).
The upgrade involves enabling interaction between users by touching the icon of the user on the screen, and then communicating freely by using a drop down menu allowing messaging or choosing from a menu of interactions such as emoticons or speech.

Parking warning
For cities like Montreal, some streets have NO PARKING rule that varies.
Ex: no parking tuesday 8:00 - 12:00 pmOthers need parking license for specific time of day. And/or a time limit for those without license.
It would be useful to have a reminder to not park or move car before it’s too late.

Could you consider entering BOLO reports on Waze....
This is probably news more than anything, but since everyone uses waze it might be helpful to put Bolo reports out. Here's what prompted this request. We arrived home after driving 1600 miles from Charleston to Little Rock and back and on the news they had a BOLO for a red Miata w license plate.....a woman had been last seen driving between Augusta and Atlanta on I 20 and has been missing for over a week. It would have been nice to know that at the time we were driving. Amber alerts would be nice as well.....maybe put them…

report lamp failure
I'd like to be able to report that there's a car with a failed brake lamp or turn signal lamp. Conversely, I'd like the app to use other people's reports to alert me when I have a failed brake lamp or turn signal lamp. How it would work: It would alert me when there have been, say, two reports near me in a week. Optionally the app would let the reporter shoot a quick photo of the car, and from that your server would try to grab the license plate or the make, model, and color, if any of those…

Obstacle overview in navigation mode
I love the overview I get when I start my journey. Very clear with the color coding in light blue with yellow, orange and red markings along the way, showing possible obstacles. I would though like to have this feature incorporated the whole time when I navigate. Sometimes, in mute mode, you miss important messages of hurdles ahead, and a thin strip of color coding directly below the black direction plate in the screen top would easily warn me visually of troubles on my path. In this way, I get a chance to plan an alternative route much earlier.

create a app settings profile for multi user environment (90 devices that needs same setting)
To start using navigation in a large emergency (firetrucs) environment we would like to keep things easy. We are thinking about central management of a waze orginasation installation and setup centrally the waze settings instead of local on the device. In a future release we then perhaps can license it and remove adds or use it to centrall set type of default navigation, layout etc.

Haptic alert
Hi
I want all speed alerts to be vibrational - via Apple Watch. I need the feature to be active all the time, so when I run out door and jump in car I know I will be alerted every time I exceed a speed limit. I need the vibration to continue until speed is back within limit.
This is essential for a motorcycle rider and I think best option for car driver also, you can be looking at phone or expecting to hear a ph in noisey environment, let alone feel a vib from phone in a loose coat…

Change option speed limit /speed penalty
in europe I travel through many countries. Each country has different speed penalts. it would be good to have a chance change the speed limit to the value of the penalty, for example, if my speed is 150, it's not terribly. but when my speed value is 400 € for a penalty then I better slow down.it is good for Young people . they have no sense and no money. and it's best for safety. at maximum speed an alert is displayed ,,, withdrawal of driving license

Unmarked Licence plates
It would be good to have a list viewable to everyone in that area of unmarked police car plates and models/info about them. Users could add plates with proof and Waze accepts it onto the list, this way everyone driving in the area can look on the list before moving off on the journey and see what to look out for or at least a few letters

Car sentry
I would like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the security of parked vehicles and improve community-driven safety within the Waze app. The feature, which I call "Car Sentry," would allow users to register their car’s license plate within Waze. If anyone notices suspicious activity or an issue related to the registered vehicle (such as theft, damage, or an incorrectly parked car), they could quickly notify the owner through the app.
Key benefits:
Increased security: Users receive real-time notifications if their car is involved in a reported incident.
Community-driven safety: Wazers can help each other by reporting suspicious…1 vote
