alert me about speed cameras even if I'm below the limit, in the same way it does if I'm above the limit.
you need to make it so it will alert me about speed cameras even if I'm below the limit, in the same way it does if I'm above the limit. it's very annoying because I might speed up in between not getting an alert, and the camera.

Timeframe for the toll highway
it would be nice to add the ability to choose the time when the toll highway can be used to calculate the route. Sometimes there are promotions for the tool highway

Feature Suggestion: “Group Ride / Buddy Mode” for Safer and More Connected Travel
To the Waze Team,
Good day! I am a longtime Waze user, and I truly appreciate how your app continues to innovate in keeping drivers safe and informed. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience of many users, especially those who travel together.
I would like to propose a “Group Ride Mode” or “Buddy Mode” where users traveling as a group such as friends, families, and motorcycle convoys can see each other in real time directly on the Waze map. Many riders and drivers often travel together, and having this integrated feature would bring a big advantage in terms of convenience and safety.
Below are the features that I believe would make this mode extremely useful:
Proposed Features for Group Ride / Buddy Mode
Real-Time Location Sharing
Show the live position of each group member on the Waze map using icons or initials.Distance Gap Indicator
Display how far each buddy is ( “350m behind,” “1.2 km ahead”).Re-route Notifications
If a member takes a different route, the group receives a small alert such as:
“Alex re-routed now 2.1 km away.”Group Voice Chat (Push-to-Talk)
A simple walkietalkie style voice feature for quick updates during the drive.Group ETA Comparison
Show the estimated time of arrival for every member to help coordinate stops and arrival times.Battery Level Indicator
Notify group members if someone has low battery to avoid surprises when someone drops offline.Speed Status Sync (Privacy-Safe)
Show simple speed indicators like: Stopped, Slow, Normal, Fast (no exact speed numbers needed).“Regroup Alert” Button
Allows one member to send a signal to the group to slow down or meet at the next stop.Privacy Controls
Group access via invite link or code only.
Option for members to switch to invisible mode anytime.Emergency/SOS Ping
A quick SOS button that alerts all members if someone stops unexpectedly or needs assistance.
Why This Feature is Valuable?
- This feature would be especially helpful for:
- Motorcycle groups and riding clubs
- Family convoys during long trips
- Friends traveling to the same destination
- Delivery riders working in teamsIntegrating this into Waze would make group travel safer, more organized, and more enjoyable, while also setting Waze apart from other navigation apps that currently don’t offer this level of real-time group coordination.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving the Waze experience. I hope you consider this idea, as many users like me would benefit greatly from its addition.

Southpaw mode for UI layout
Have a toggle to mirror the layout of buttons on the screen in CarPlay. My vehicle has a wide display which puts the hazard button far away. In fact the buttons I use the most are the furthest from me. Having a way to flip or even pick where UI elements sit would be great.

A Harry Dresden voice pack
I'm a big fan of the Dresden Files books, by Jim Butcher. I have recently been enjoying the audio book versions. Most of the 17 books are available read by James Marsters.
I would really enjoy a Waze app voice pack, based on James Marsters portrayal of the Harry Dresden character. (Maybe Jim Butcher himself would be willing participate)
I'm sure other Dresden Files fans would also.
Other characters from the Dresden Files, such as Molly Carpenter and Demonreach. Would be a bonus.
I think the female voice actors for Molly vary, but I'm pretty sure J. Marsters does the voice for Demonreach.Other celebrities I have thought of for potential voice packs; Robin Williams, James Earl Jones, & Jack Nicholson.

Personalized voice sidekick with street names
You could make personalized voice options for sidekicks with a second drop down box below for street name pronunciation using a already established voice option for the street names. For instance I could use the Now You See Me voice option for a sidekick with a British street name English option.

Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

התראה על קבר צדיק בקרבת מקום (פיצ’ר אופציונלי)
שלום צוות Waze,
שמי אהרון בן אייש, אני בן 24, סיימתי את שירותי במג״ב, ואני משתמש באפליקציית Waze כמעט כל יום.
יש לי רעיון לפיצ’ר שיכול לעניין הרבה משתמשים, במיוחד בישראל ובעולם היהודי.הרעיון הוא להוסיף אפשרות התראה אופציונלית שתודיע לנהג כאשר הוא עובר בקרבת מקום של קבר צדיק או אתר רוחני חשוב.
האפליקציה תוכל לשלוח התראה קטנה, שתאפשר למשתמש לבחור אם הוא רוצה לעצור או לקבל ניווט למקום כדי להתפלל או להשתטח.כמובן שהאפשרות תהיה אופציונלית בלבד, ותכובד בחירתו של כל משתמש אם להפעיל או לבטל אותה.
לדעתי, הרעיון הזה מתאים מאוד לרוח של Waze, שנולדה כאן בישראל, ויכול להוסיף נגיעה תרבותית ורוחנית יפה לאפליקציה.
תודה על ההקשבה ועל כל מה שאתם עושים כדי לשפר את חוויית הנהיגה שלנו.
בברכה,

Showing the average speed on the trip
When a driver enters an average speed check zone, Waze could display both the legal speed limit and the driver’s current calculated average speed since entering the zone. Additionally, the app could show what the driver’s remaining average speed needs to be in order to stay compliant by the end of the zone.
Example:
“Average speed check zone — Limit: 90 km/h.
Current average: 95 km/h.
To stay compliant, reduce speed to 85 km/h.”2 votes -

Use phone orientation to determine initial driving direction
Problem:
When starting navigation from a stationary position, Waze often assumes my car is facing the direction of the road segment, not my actual heading.
This leads to wrong initial instructions — for example, being told to “turn right” when in reality I need to make a U-turn first because I’m facing the opposite direction.Proposed Solution:
Use the phone’s built-in compass and orientation sensors to estimate the initial heading of the vehicle when navigation begins.
In most real-world cases, the phone is positioned facing the same direction as the car (mounted on the dashboard or windshield).
By using this heading information, Waze could:Determine the correct driving direction before movement begins.
Avoid confusing or incorrect first instructions.
Make navigation smoother and more intuitive, especially in parking lots or side streets.

Simplify ability to mark roads as closed
There is a road closure near me which is not currently shown on Waze and Waze therefore keeps trying to route through this closure. I know it is there so why am I not able to simply mark a road as closed anywhere (ie not just when I am on a route)? Otherwise people will keep being routed towards a closure and the last thing they are thinking of when they are having to turn around and go a different way is to inform Waze about the closure. Seems such a simple fix and if you are worried about it being abused by people who would inform of closed roads as a joke, it could be verified by two or more users so that you know it is genuine.

Add favorites to a route
When I go on long trips, I enjoy stopping at rest areas, but I have no clue where they are or when they'll appear. I've ended up at a sketchy gas station, only to discover a rest area just 2 miles ahead. I also like pulling over at specific restaurant chains, but again, I don't know their locations. It would be awesome to add favorites to a route so the app tracks the distance to the nearest Chick-fil-A or Buc-ee's, then resets after you pass it to show the next one. This feature would be a game-changer.
