Go button or the "ready to go" screen between different stretches with stop points
I was using a Waze on a two-way path. When it arrived at the end of the first stretch, the application soon began the journey for the second stretch. I suggest having a go button or the "ready to go" screen between different stretches with stop points. The app could expect me to have something to do before continuing travel. This function could be optionally configured to show or not in the settings.

Finer control of what hazards display on the map.
This request seeks to add a finer control of which type of things appear on the map. I don't need to see construction crews, or weather hazards, or missing signs. I only need to see road debris, stopped vehicles, roadside assistance requests, and police. But currently, the options don't give you the choice of specific things you would like to see.
What I'm proposing is to break out the current "Hazards" category under Display & Map / Details on Map into each of the hazard categories available, so that users can select or deselect the hazards they care about seeing…

Stopping a street as cut through woodwardia
How do we stop Waze from recommending people cut through a residential street to go around traffic? The system has people cutting through woodwardia drive right through a residential neighborhood association with mostly private streets in the 90077 area code. It causes at times 10 car backups on the streets and is ridiculous when you are trying to get out of your own driveway

Incorporate Buses
Be able to report a public bus sighting by typing in the bus number on the back so people who take the bus can see approximately where it is at and how close it is to the stop you are at.

Australian TTS voice Kylie is only available while I'm in Australia - why region-lock voices?
We live in a world where people aren't restricted by country borders, and so it's always frustrating when you're faced with a feature or an app on your phone that's not available simply because of where in the world you might currently be.
I'm Australian and have really embraced using Waze over Google Maps over the years. One of the reasons this has been so easy is because of Kylie, the TTS voice I have selected. However, when I go to another country Kylie suddenly stops being available and Waze sounds British or American with no option to change it…

Blocked lane(s) selection
When a user selects to report a hazard on the road with either a stopped vehicle or object on road, display a view of that road’s lanes so they can select the lane(s) that are blocked for drivers approaching to prepare.

Route options display
Would prefer the option of alternative routes to be displayed after selected routes as previous, the current version only reflected prior to a route being selected and no changes of routes could be made after that, unless to stop the navigation and re-route

Exit Waze when disconnecting from Apple CarPlay
I love Waze for longer journeys, using it with Apple CarPlay. But I don't need it for popping to the shops - i.e. most daily journeys.
However the App starts up on my phone every time I get in the car regardless, and then continues running even after I get out. It really drains my phone battery. I have to remember to close it manually. I can't find a way to stop this behaviour - it is a real pain.
I'm sure it wasn't always like this, but this means I have had to disable Waze on my CarPlay setup.

Fewer taps to make a report
When using CarPlay (or even my phone when I'm the right-side passenger), to report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road I must tap the orange "Report" circle, choose "Hazard," "Shoulder," "Vehicle Stopped." In CarPlay, when driving that takes my eyes from the road at least four times to identify/locate/push the appropriate button to make the report. Rather than spelling out the words for each part of the notice - perhaps readily identifiable icons could be "stacked" under the headings. As with "QWERTY," there are gestures/reports most often used that could be located in priority locations on the…

speed camera alert closer to the speed camera
the alert is happening 400m from the camera, sometimes there is an intersection before the camera that you may stop at and by the time you get going again you may of forgotten about the camera. listening to the news or music may distract from the warning, when you finally get that 400m down the road. a second alert 50m from the camera, speeding or not, would be greatly appreciated.

Next Town Info Panel – Facilities Summary for Road Trips”
📌 Title:
“Next Town Info Panel – Facilities Summary for Road Trips”📝 Description:
As a frequent long-distance driver in regional Australia, I’d love to see Waze include a “Next Town Info” panel that shows what’s coming up ahead on your current route — not just traffic or hazards, but practical facilities in the next town or rest stop.This could pop up when you're within 10–50km of a town and show:
🛢 Fuel stations (brand, current price if available, 24hr status)
🍴 Food options (cafes, fast food, bakeries, etc., maybe with ratings)
🚻 Toilets and rest stops (especially public…

Stop changing routes automatically while I'm driving!
Waze needs to stop AUTOMATICALLY changing my route on me. It's frustrating especially when I chose the non-toll route on the way back. Then I look at the app and it's showing the route I did NOT choose!!

Select what hazards to hear
Allow the user to select what notifications to hear. I don’t care about stopped cars but I do about objects on the road or police.
Most notifications are for stopped cars and I honestly have turned off all notifications and just hope I see relevant info on the map.
Needs to work with CarPlay etc as well.

Allow comments to be added to police reports (as it was before)
This use to be a standard feature. It should be added again. Stopped police vehicles tend to slow down traffic and actually create accidents. It is important to relay what is happening in the report (e.g. vehicular accident, speed trap, stopped car on shoulder, etc.) so as to help other Waze users navigate accordingly and to help protect other motorists.

say im at a red light
My idea is for the waze app. I was using my waze and while I was driving and I stopped at a stop light. Waze asked me if I was stuck in traffic cause it noticed that I'm not moving and it doesn't let me say ithat im stuck at a red light.
Thank you for your time.2 votes -
You have to get this app to stop overheating
Waze is causing my iPhone 13 to overheat on a 20 minute journey and makes the app useless. It will damage the phone if I continue to use it. Someone needs to address this issue as I see from feedback and google it is not an isolated case nor unique to iPhones. It’s a great app but too risky to now use
