Location of the Speed Limit and Speed on Android Auto
For Australian users, I would like to see the Speed Limit and Speedometer shown on the left of the map. This is because it is covered by our left hand when holding the steering wheel, because the driver sits on the right hand side of the vehicle. I cannot see either the speed limit or speedometer without moving my hand off the wheel.

A Couple of ideas
I live in Maryland and would like to make a couple of suggestions. First, Maryland has a new law where you are supposed to pull over for any vehicles now, not just Police, Emergency and Tow trucks. Can you modify the program so it would display which side of the road the vehicle is on so I could possibly move over ahead of time. Secondly, can you add a simple button for vehicle on the left side of the road, on the right side and for a police car.. I don't like going through all of the buttons to…

I also want to point out this setting can also potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing
I want to point outthat vehicle type setting can potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing the route to be congested, when in fact traffic was smooth flowing, albeit at a slightly slower speed due to heavy rain showers.
In Malaysia, when it rains, motor cyclists take shelter under flyovers and bridges. Therefore, if their waze was on, it would make your app think traffic is at a standstill.
Another issue with motorcycles is, in Malaysia, Lane Splitting is not an offence, and most times, during slow traffic, motorcyclists travel at much higher…

Ability to turn off "tool bars". ie. Carpool, My Waze, and Search bars
We need a way to turn off these tool bars if not being used.
They make this app mostly unusable, especially in landscape orientation, as they take up a large part of the screen.
I don't carpool, i dont need the search bar on when I'm driving. Same for My Waze.
Just a small button to access this would be fine.
Please make a way to turn these off.2 votesThanks for your suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation.

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may…

1)Make the top most distance “ turn right/ left “ BIG eg 10M turn ….And earlier inform us … many times overshoot the “turn right / turn left
BIG distance in numbers ….m 1)Make the top most distance “ turn right/ left “ BIG eg 10M turn ).
And give option ( Front size X-Large , Large , medium, small, to X-small)
Wi-Fi too slow… miss the turn…Car too fast.

Pre programmed buttons on screen
Possibly have like 6 user programmable buttons for common alerts. Such as vehicle on shoulder ahead, Police ahead, crash on roadway ahead etc. I have not been able to get voice commands to work in my GMC 2014 Sierra Pickup or Iphone 13 Pro Max. One button much safer than having to hit 3 or 4 buttons to notify of alert.

Waze PLEASE HELP. My Apple iOS Significant locations glitched and got erased. I need my location history for 08/18/2022 to exonerate me.
I was pulled over because a vehicle “matched my description” at a Shell Gas station that I was never at on 08/18/2022 (see Frazier V. Cupp or Supreme Court V. Cupp; LE can basically lie to try and incriminate you for evidence that never existed). Then when I tried to use significant locations to pull up where I was on that date it didn’t have the “summary records” anymore. I blew a 0.00 BAC and had ZERO contraband in my vehicle. I did not break any traffic laws either (i.e. swerving, speeding, etc.).
The arresting officer in my small…2 votesThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

Add the local Bus Routes
Instead of only having a driving section you could make it to where we can navigate the local busses in our areas such as in Louisville ** we have the TARC for people who don’t have a car or vehicle.

Quick access icons.
Put additional icons on the available space on the left side of the screen (and top/bottom) for Police (visible, hidden, and other side). Also a Vehicle on shoulder, pothole, object on road, and roadkill would be extremely helpful.
It would make it much safer and you would get more accurate reporting if we don't have to navigate through choices when alerting other drivers.2 votes -
You have ability to mark potholes... that's great but I would like to see the ability to mark a"depression"
You have ability to mark potholes... that's great but I would like to see the ability to mark a"depression" which is not quite a pothole but a place where road has sunk significantly and poses a danger to vehicle.

Delete or minimize the "vehicle on shoulder" notice. It is an extreme interference with the actual use of Waze for navigation!
The notice actually blocs navigation instructions and exit numbers when in operation. The duration of the notice is far too long. A 2 second announcement would be sufficient. MOST IMPORTANTLY IT IS UNSAFE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO "CLOSE" THE NOTICE OR TO STRIKE THE "THANKS" BAR WHEN NO THANKS ARE NEEDED. WHY DOES WAZE NEED A THANK YOU FOR A USELESS SCREEN BLOCKING NOTICE.
Waze is a good APP which has just been made DANGEROUS BY ASKING A DRIVER TO "CLOSE" THE NOTICE OR SAY "THANKS".
Will it take a negligence lawsuit to bring Google to…

Favourite
During driving it we see some incidents and need to report it takes several clicks. Would be helpful to drivers if we have some favourites to minimize the touching of screens. Allow the drivers to save their common incidents. Like myself the 5 most commons are
- police
- pot hole
- hazard vehicle on the side
- accident
- constructionI can then easily click one of the 5 while driving

ZTL
ZTL Eng-Ita
From October the access rules to the ZTL area B of Milan will change (eg Euro 5 diesel no longer enters), periodically similar things also happen in other cities. it would be useful to be able to select at the start-up phase of Waze, in addition to the type of vehicle, also the pollution class so that the navigator can take it into account when calculating the route and, if the vehicle class is not among those authorized, report that can enter the ZTL and avoid fines.

CarPlay vertical does not show car on the screen
I have a portrait mode CarPlay screen and when Waze is full screen, my vehicle not on the screen. When I go to the CarPlay dock screen, Waze is the top half of the screen and it works fine.

Traffic control button
It would be nice to have a button to mark where there are traffic controls, but not by the police. Often there are vehicle control done by the government. Such a warning button to mark in the map would be nice.

while travelling, what we need is real time alerts on our mobile and also on FM radio
I have 2 ideas to improve WAZE
While travelling, the passenger vehicle driver needs alerts on his/her mobile and also on FM radio, This can be made possible by tapping the mobile numbers of the drives when they start travelling. As soon the vehicle engine is started, via blue tooth the driver mobile numbers should get integrated with the passenger vehicle GPS system. This will enable drivers to get automatic alerts w.r.t to traffic jams, accidents etc. The radius of the alerts should be sent to vehicles which are in the radius of 1-2 miles. Km as this will…

Use Voice Commands to log Reports with Waze on CarPlay and Android Auto
While Waze allows users to use voice via their phones to log Reports, it does not support Voice to log Reports for users of Car Play and Android Auto. The fact that these users have to use the screen and potentially take their eyes off the road to navigate menus to log a report is quite dangerous. Please help vote this up, as more vehicles are now being equipped with Car Play and Android Auto. Thank you!
