1. Speed Limit display and Alert Icon quick Selection

   Here is an edited screenshot of my two ideas, on the left you have bigger, more visible speed limit indicator, on the right you get a permanently displayed favorite alert icon.(in my case stopped vehicles which is 90% of my sent alerts)

4. New circle after doubling the speed limit

   Hello there, this is just a suggestion I have about a cool feature that you could add to the app! So, a few days ago I was in a road and noticed on my Waze that if, for example, the road limit is 90 kn/h, the red dots will form a circle and fulfill it at double the speed limit. And to test it I went beyond double, and when I checked I was very disappointed that the red dots just stop and stand at that position. As I told that to a few friends they also got very disappointed and we all thought it would be an amazing addition to this app If, when you go past double the speed limit, the red dots change to another color, for example, a bright purple, and continued to form the next circle, going up to its double!

   And I know that now you're thinking, what a stupid thing, why would you even go more than twice the speed limit, that's crazy. And yes I could agree to that if it wasn't for the fact that in my country, and I'm sure others too, there are open roads that could easily be highways, all straight and large, limited to 70/80 km/h. So yeah. Sorry to bother, that's all.
   Greetings

6. Allow setting a maximum number of toll gates in route planning

   Dear Waze Product Team,

   I have a suggestion that would greatly benefit users travelling in toll-gated cities like Dubai.

   Feature: Allow users to specify a maximum number of Salik toll gates they are okay with during a route search.

   For example: “Avoid more than 2 Salik gates”

   Waze would then show routes that meet this preference, while also displaying the number of Salik gates per route.

   This feature would help users:

   Control toll expenses and plan budgets.

   Avoid surprises from unexpected toll gates.

   Choose routes tailored to personal priorities (shortest time vs. fewer tolls).

   Such an addition would greatly enhance route customization and overall user experience, especially in regions with toll systems like Salik.

   Thanks for considering!

8. Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets

   Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
   Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
   Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the current one so that it's not forgotten.
   Ideally, Waze would be smart enough to use the speed of the car to calculate the best time to announce the alert so that there would be just the right amount of time for the driver to take action.

9. The vehicle speed set to 0 and map display jumps on GPS blinds spots

   The Speed Problem:
   I noticed that when the car enters a cave my speed per hour gets reset back to 0 and when I leave the cave it goes back.

   Plus - The Map Display Problem:
   When I get inside the cave the map display feature of the car/arrow icon stops working:
   (the car/arrow icon would stop moving and then jump back to the end of the cave when I leave).

   I believe that the map feature and speed is working by gps to locate the vehicle location and time to calculate the speed which makes the car km/h / m/h to be not accurate:
   Meaning that when I enter a blind spot from gps, the car location won't be changed and the map display of the car would just stay put ,
   Plus - When the car location is not changing then the cars speed would be set to 0 by the calculation cause it's using only the location change over time.

   My solution to this problem is to make an option which you can take the speed from the car itself without having the trouble of calculating it yourself. -

   Most people of this time have already made the switch to electric vehicles which have the base "computer" inside of them which shows the driver their speed and allows them to download certain apps to their vehicle such as Spotify and Itunes.
   Plus - For some of those vehicles the Waze app could be added.
   Meaning that the Waze app would be able to request from the car the ability to track its speed.

   With this solution we can find out exactly at what speed the car is driving at all times without worrying about calculations.

   With this information we can also know roughly the exact location of the car.
   How do we do it?
   Simple. We just take the speed of the car and multiply it with the time that has passed.
   For example:
   Speed = 90km/h
   We would place a constant variable for the Time to be 1 Second that would not change ( it would mean that the map display would change every 1 second)
   Then:
   We calculate it by this equation:
   Distance = Speed in km/h * Time in hours

   For our example:
   First we need to change it from km/h to m/h:
   90 / 3.6 = 25 m/s
   Then Distance = Speed * Time:
   Distance = 25m/s * 1s
   Distance = 25 meters

   After that we can know the distance the car traveled the past second, and we can add it to the map along the road.
   And I know what you all think.
   WHAT IF the Car driver choose to reverse or change a path in the middle of the road.
   And that's why this function would ONLY work where there is no connection to GPS, and then when we get back connection to GPS the car would jump back to the location from the GPS.

   There for we can now know the exact location of the car on the road, Plus - we can know its speed at any given time(NOTE: This feature could replace the current way of speed tracking on any road).

   Another Solution IF we can't use the vehicle speed:
   We can also use the vehicle speed for the past 5 seconds before going into the blind spot + use other cars past records speeds of driving in that road and the speed numbers of vehicle users there are on the same road at the moment, and get the average speed of all of them.
   The way we can know the speed of vehicle users who drove this road in the past?:
   Simple,
   we just do the exact same equation from before just placing the time as the time they spent on the road and the distance of the road.

   And then we know the speed and we can find the location of the vehicle on the map just like we did before.

   That's my solution I hope you liked my detailed explanation and give me a feedback!

11. Louder speed limit exceeded sound for moborbike riders

    I can't hear the "speed limit exceeded" sound at all on my motorbike, so it is essentially not something I can use.

    It would be nice if that was louder for those who have selected they are on a motorbike, to match the volume of the voice (or else, an option to make it louder).

15. Speed and red light cameras and other cameras

    Is it possible if waze said for speed and red light cameras and other cameras to say where any camera is in 1 mile not in 0.2 miles because that way people would get a heads up and not panic and not slam on the brakes cause that can be dangerous

17. Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams

    Feature: Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams

    Problem:

    When one vehicle hard-brakes on a highway, it creates a backward-traveling shockwave. Due to human reaction times, vehicles behind brake even harder — causing a dead-stop jam with no actual obstruction. These "phantom jams" cause thousands of rear-end collisions yearly.

    Proposed Solution:

    Waze already collects real-time GPS telemetry from millions of drivers. If the system detects a sudden velocity drop, it could instantly push a "Reduce speed to 60 km/h" advisory to drivers further back — absorbing the shockwave before it cascades.

    I Built a Working Simulation:

    I've created an open-source Python simulation using the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) physics that proves this works:

    • Without intervention: 11/15 vehicles reach dead stop

    • With V2Cloud warning: Zero vehicles stopped, shockwave fully absorbed

    • Effectiveness drops sharply above 1.5s latency — Waze's existing infrastructure is fast enough

    GitHub (full code + demo): https://github.com/san342147/v2cloud-traffic-optimization

    Video demo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/[YOUR-LINKEDIN-URL]

    No new hardware required. No V2V sensors. Just an algorithm upgrade to Waze's existing real-time traffic engine.

    I'm a B.Tech AIML student from Chennai, India and would love to discuss this further with the Waze engineering team.

18. Calculate speed of travel adjusted for vehicles turning around

    This morning I was caught in a traffic jam in which we traveled 1 mile in 24 minutes. The app was showing travel speed for the area of 8-12 mph at the time because of the number of vehicles exiting the traffic jam to turn around or cutting out of the traffic through side streets. This causes inaccuracy in the eta and may have resulted in routes 'b' or 'c' being faster. Since the GPS is estimated based on location is it not possible to make a change to the system that removes one car length of distance from the speed calculation for each vehicle turning a full 180 degrees to back track.

    Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

19. A button for HOV or non-HOV

    There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

    Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

20. Adding roadworks and speed camera to the report list

    My Waze maps in Melbourne Australia does not have the option to report roadworks or sneaky pop up speed cameras that sit on the side of the road 🫣 as it's not police it feels wrong to report it as police on the map 🤷
