Traffic lights option button
Hello wazers. There are some traffic lights that are fast enough to pass through and some others that are extremely slow (2-3 cars per time). Waze commonly proposes directions through traffic lights (Even when there are other options).
I think that a “traffic light” option button that characterizes it as slow or fast, would be a good addition in order to accelerate our proposed roots42 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Police report improvement
Hello! I have an idea to improve police report, because it is one of most important part. Please put the quick police button (one-click report) on the main screen, when are "my place" button and NORTH-place. This button also may be hidden as others. In practise - one click on screen, buttons appears and click police. It will be less dangerous to report while driving. Thank you in advance.

Heavy traffic: "make a corridor for emergency vehicle access"
Hello,
in some countries it is mandatory to make a corridor for emergency vehicle access (According to Wikipedia: Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Germany) when you are stuck in heavy traffic. Although there are a lot of campaigns on building a "Rettungsgasse" in Germay, a lot of people still don't do it, potentially endangering the life of the victims of accidents.
I suggest adding the recommendation to form this corridor to the alert for heavy traffic and standstill.
Cheers

Improve "forgot username or password" process
I upgraded to a new phone. Forgot my username & password but the entire existing process is circular. Put in my phone number (didn't receive a text w/in 24 hours). Put in my email address (didn't receive an email w/in 24 hours). I charged & started my old phone to get my username. Once I retrieved it and put it into the new phone I received a verification code via text. I used that code and then added my full name - and I was given a new user name which I did not choose. When I put in my original username an alert came up saying that it was already in use! WTH REALLY??? After all that I open the app and see all of my original information, my home is set, my friends are still there, my recent locations, favorites etc. Sooo it begs the question - if I put in my original username, why couldn't I just reset my password rather than have to also reset my username? Can I please have my username back?
Also - getting help on the webpage about all of this is a royal pain.
My suggestion: please revisit the username / password recovery process so that if you remember your username, you only have to put in an email address to reset the password (regardless if the email address is 'registered' or not.

Fuel prices
In Germany there are apps showing the actual fuel price.
This information is delivered by the "Bundeskartellamt", nearly in realtime!
Would it be possible to integrate this in WAZE ?

Color code road hazard and police reports etc to show how long ago they were reported
Instead of having to click on the police icon to see how long ago it was reported color code the icons.
Green = reported within last 10 minutes
Yellow = reported within last 10-20 minutes
Red = reported over 20 minutes ago42 votes -
add a plugin method, e.g. radar detector
There is an iPhone app called "radar active" that allows realtime updates of speed traps. The sounds various radar detectors make (or dataports like on the Valentine V1) could be used to automatically add speed-trap / false alarm information to the map. Android has easy ways to add external hardware, but the microphone could be used on any platform with the right audio processing software.

Expire events option
Give a general or category specific option to delete/expire events. e.g. most crashes/accidents are cleared in 30 minutes or less, yet the event lingers in Waze for 2 hours or more. So let the user chose how old an event will be displayed.

Editors should be able to see the URs in the app while driving.
Editors have to manage a large number URs that don't provide much information. The vast majority lack comments from the reporting user, and sometimes these comments don't help in understanding the problem.
Since many editors drive, it would be helpful if high-level editors (level 4 or higher) could see URs in the app while driving (similar to alerts). This would allow them to go to the exact location (if they have time to do that), observe the problem, leave a comment, and then calmly make the necessary changes to the WME.

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable support for showing navigation directions, turn-by-turn prompts, and police/speed-camera alerts directly on the instrument cluster and HUD, similar to how BMW’s native navigation system — and some competitor apps — already do.
This feature would allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, perfectly aligning with Waze’s mission of safer and smarter driving. Many BMW owners (especially those using iDrive 7 and iDrive 8) are actively asking for this enhancement, and it would represent a significant leap forward for Waze’s ecosystem on both CarPlay and Android Auto.
Please forward this request to your product development or automotive integration team, and kindly let me know if there’s a roadmap or beta program planned for this functionality.
Thank you for taking this seriously. I genuinely hope that Waze will soon provide full HUD and cluster integration for BMW drivers worldwide.
Best regards,

select trailer or caravan
Driving through 6 different countries from Netherlands to Italy with my trailer. You sometimes forget what the legal speed limits are in each country. It would be great to be able to select a car-trailer combination. also because the travel time is very different if you compair this with a single car.

Feature Request - Add the ability to reach out to the community for help in a breakdown or accident
A topic came up in a FB motorcycle group about ways to signal to other users that you need help. Perhaps you ran out of gas, have a flat, or some other issue that requires tools. I carry tools with me on my bike to fix most issues that could arise. Although I look for helmets on pavement or some indication that a Wazer might be in need of help, it would be easier to have a Pulsing icon on my route map that easily identifies anyone that may be in need of assistance.
It's a nice way to ensure that everyone in the community is safe and anyone that needs help, can get help from people in the area.

Please add an Electric Motorcycle vehicle type!
You have an option for Electric Vehicles, and for Motorcycles. But what about Electric Motorcycles?! I have a 2021 Zero SR/S - but there are many other models and brands of electric motorcycles now - LiveWire, Energica, Sondors, Surron, etc! Zero has been making electric motorcycles for ~13 years now in CA. Right now I have to choose whether I want EV relevant info, or motorcycle relevant info in the Waze app. Please consider adding a Electric Motorcycle vehicle type for us lucky users, in this growing market segment!

One Touch Reports in Car Play / Android Auto - Customizable
It would be great to have the ability to customize one-touch reports.
See the attached imgur photo.
In this case, I made vehicle on shoulder, police, and object on the road as my "One Touch."
I also added a compass to the navigation bar on the bottom left. (The compass I used is far too busy for Waze.)41 votes -
Waze - Plan my day route scheduling
A great addition to the Waze App would be to have it plan my entire day or something as simple as errands. Start by entering a start time and a list of addresses to visit (e.g. drop-off kids, grocery store, and other errands....getting me back home in time to pick-up the kids at school at the end of the school day), Waze could optimize my route and schedule based on traffic and ETA. It might even choose the most effective route by reordering the destinations/waypoints. Other applications are for small businesses to do route planning to save time and fuel. An added bonus would be to link to my calendar.
