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

Instead of "turn left in X feet", how about just saying something more like "take the next left"
Instead of focusing directions on distance when approaching a turn, treat the turns more like your roundabout directions. It's more natural to give directions such as: "take the next right" or "go left at the light" rather than "turn in 500 feet" or go right on Main Street (especially if the street sign isn't easiy to see).

Customized AUDIO alerts for Plan a trip notifications
I have a smart phone with multiple applications that I get alerts from and it would be nice to have a customizable audio alert for Waze for when trips are planned. Nothing crazy may be like a “beep beep” to notify the user that based on their alert settings that the plan tripped time is coming up. Have an alert to differentiate that Waze from any other alert from another app. Please, no round file, it’s a good idea. Thx.

Suggestion: Can we get an auto-reroute or a stalled traffic ahead alert?
Couple of years ago I was headed home from a 6 hr trip with a 98 yr old man riding shotgun. I was less than 20 miles from home and ran up on a traffic jam on the interstate that added another 3 hrs to my trip.......an auto-reroute would have helped a lot

Glad you are doing this. Help us stay alert. Traffic congestion is made worse when slow drivers occupy the passing lane. Please make ever
Glad you are doing this. Help us stay alert. Traffic congestion is made worse when slow drivers occupy the passing lane. Please make everyone aware of this FACT. They also make the roads hazardous by forcing drivers around them unnecessarily, possibly causing accidents and getting away with it. Please add this to your information - police and city councils ignore this fact, yet there are laws and old signs.

Pause playback during audio alerts (for audiobooks)
Currently the Waze sounds turn the volume of whatever is playing the background down, causing me to miss words of audiobooks. Add an option for "Audiobook mode" to pause playback during Waze alerts/navigation voice.

One touch option for alerts
It would be beneficial to streamline the alert process on the main page by allowing users to quickly select one or two common options with a single touch. Currently, after pressing the alert button, users must choose from several categories such as "alert," "hazard," "police," or "traffic." A quick-access button for frequently reported issues, like "car on side of the road" or "police," would reduce distraction and enhance safety for drivers.

Add more option then just police
We have the option to alert police are in a certain place, which people put when there are speed cameras. I think there should be a camera alert for speed cameras and the police alert be used for RBT set ups, when highway patrol are out with speed guns etc.

Give the option yo mute certain alerts.
I don't need to have an audible alert for every kind of alert. If I travel a long trip knowing a vehicle on shoulder ahead every five minutes is annoying.

Is there an issue with waze?
I use mine via android auto, and the last few days, any alert I get, on the left hand side, will not clear until I cancel route and restart
Waze was last updated 6 days ago and was working fine before

Proposer une synthèse des trajets avec et sans péage
Bonjour, en tant qu'utilisateur, j'aimerais que waze me propose le trajet avec et sans péage, en indiquant la distance et l'heure d'arrivée de chacune des solutions. Cela permettrait de faire rapidement un choix éco(logiquement et nomiquement) responsable.

Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest
Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest.
Right now, if you are in the midst of a long trip and click "Add a stop" and ask see options (for food or gas or coffee) you see locations near your destination.
Suggestion is to add distance options, like "show closests first".
What good is a gas station that is 125 miles away? ;)12 votes -
EV charging list filters
It would be perfect to see/sort/filter the charging list with distance (to current position, regardless of added time) availability, and charging speed. When a charger is needed, it should be possible to pick from a couple of closer, available and faster selection.

Wind gusts icon
I'd suggest to add into climatic alerts group an icon to be used to inform Wazers that there a risk due to wind gusts.
I guess there is a significant number of users (such as truck, light commercial, bus and caravan drivers) that may be interested to this potential risk and would appreciate if Wazers would turn on a specific alert.
What do you think about it?

nombre d'utilisateurs autour de vous
Au démarrage de waze il nous affiche le nombre d'utilisateur autour de nous mais nous ne savons absolument pas sur quelle distance. Cette information est extrêmement floue. J'aimerais pouvoir choisir la distance de cette information car rien ne me confirme que les autres utilisateurs sont proche de moi et rien ne me l'indique aussi en navigation. J'aimerais avoir la distance exacte du wazer devant moi pour savoir si ma route est sure.
When Waze starts it shows us the number of users around us but we have absolutely no idea over what distance. This information is extremely vague.…

"Friend Driving" Notification Should Be Adjustable Based On Distance
I don't need Waze to tell me that my friends in New York City or Miami are driving when I am in Toronto, Canada (unless, I guess, if they have set a route to come to Toronto). Waze should allow us to specify how far away a friend can be that it will notify us of the fact that they're driving.
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.

iOS 16 CarPlay Bugs
After the update to iOS 16, the Waze alerts changed their appearance with CarPlay. They no longer show distance, just one dull close button.
