Default Icons for Common Selections on main selection screen instead of going through menu selections
Allow users to create defaults for commonly used selections.
Example, when car is located on a route on the side of the road, you have to select hazard -> on shoulder -> vehicle stopped.
Would be nice to have the button vehicle stopped on main screen as it is one of the most common selections I choose.

Auto speed adjustment integration with cruise control and auto brake function. On highways only.
Because of fuel burned, brake pads worn, and accidents during traffic on highways and frustration of stopping on a highway for apparently no reason at all.
Wake has enough data on the highway to integrate with auto manufacturers Cruise Control and auto braking function to keep all traffic flowing a almost constant speed. Without the concertina effect caused by human speed adjustment error. Humans will never fully trust or do not want to wait for or would possibly even afford a self driving car.
This system would only be available on highly congested highways to keep the flow of vehicles…3 votes -
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.

Emergency vehicle
Clicking/ reporting for an emergency vehicle should be for stopped emergency vehicles and accidents.
It drives me crazy when people are clicking emergency vehicle just because they are passing by which is NOT helpful. This is apparently unclear. Would you kindly make a post that populates with the next update to inform wazers not to click for non-stopped emergency vehicles?4 votes -
Waze has the framework to potentially help avoid chain reaction vehicle accidents
I have been studying chain reaction vehicle accidents for years and I belive that Waze may have most of the architecture already in place to alert drivers not yet at the accident scene to slow or stop, which would minimize or eliminate the wreckage, injuries and deaths that occur when low-visability causes vehicles to continue running into a crash site, creating a chain reaction accident. My request is to communicate with one of your engineers to discuss the concept.

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!!

Bug in when driving using Navigate adjusting "Avoid Highways and Tolls"
I think that if I am using the Navigate, but then decide to turn on or off the Navigation settings (Settings > Navigation) "Avoid Toll Roads & Avoid Major Highways, it should address this when it refreshes your route, but it does not. I have to completely Stop navigation and restart.

User rating on intersection after you reach destination
Please give us the ability to rate our ability to turn at any or all intersections when we reach our destination if we choose to.
Example: "Please rate your ease of turning (left or right) at any or all intersections in your route."
Waze always tells me to try a left turn at rush hour in a particular area that would take ten minutes sitting at the stop sign waiting for traffic to thin enough to make it accross assuming the other side is ALSO clear...

I suggest that you add speed reduction warning to your icons for hazards.
On motorways when there is a speed reduction sign it would stop people braking heavily if they’re aware it’s coming up.

More re-routing flexibility
I would love to specify how open i am to re-routing before a journey - i.e. being able to choose ‘reroute automatically - get me there ASAP’ or ‘don’t reroute without confirmation - prefer my route where possible.’
Why: I drive a specific one of two ways out of my city when taking a long journey because while the other road is technically faster if you drive at the speed limit it is also dangerous and has poor surface conditions. This means in reality it is slower and stressful. If I do not manage to cancel the re-routing in time,…

Stop keeping the GPS on at all time
Stop keeping the GPS on at all times you're killing my battery and data. No other app is using the GPS at all times constantly except you. This is ridiculous and I'm thinking about deleting the app and switching to Google Maps. Please provide a solution or a fix to this giant issue.
1 voteTurn your location permissions to ‘While in use’. This should fix the issue.

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

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open…4 votes -
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…

Weird idea, but very useful
Hello, my name is Muthanna Khashan, and I am an engineering student, and I use the Waze app to move between many regions in the country. I wanted to suggest an idea that came to my mind today, as it is not available in any other application. More and to make the driver always awake and to stay in constant contact with the application when he stops at the traffic lights
So that my idea is that you develop a specific feature that calculates the amount of waiting at the traffic light so that this thing can be known and…1 vote -
Optimun Gas Fill up station and report
It would be very usegul to have a road map calculator to the most optimum gas station depending on the fuel consumption of your car (that you can report manually after each travel), depending of the gas price in eah station and depending of the traffic to reach that destination.
If you want to fill up just a couple of gallon it is not optimum to go to the cheapest one, instead you want to go to the nearest one, but if you want to go to fill a full tank it is more optimum to go to the cheapest…

How Far Is 1,000 Feet???
Stop using 1,000 feet to describe every single next turn coming up. We don’t know how far that is. Use “three stoplights” or some other descriptor! Please!

Traffic fixer/ Auto Traffic Control
Use the wazer data to "improve" traffic scenarios. Like serving as air traffic control, waze could recommend speed to reduce the stop and go of traffic and "fix" one of the causes of traffic from driving habits. Would prob need to expand functionality to identify travel lane .. But with the number wazers around it could have huge impact
