Inaccurate reports
Driving from DC to Georgia today and there have been so many inaccurate reports of police, hazards, fog and potholes. Probably 100 at least today. I have never seen this many so it would be great to ban users who consistently report inaccurately.

Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits
Problem
Waze’s static database cannot display real-time variable speed limits (VSLs) on roads like Israel’s Highway 20 (Ayalon), Switzerland’s A1, Germany’s A3, Austria’s A1, the UK’s M25, the USA’s I-95, Canada’s Highway 401, Australia’s M1, and India’s Delhi expressways. Fixed speed limits (e.g., 120 km/h or 60 km/h) can mislead drivers, risking speeding tickets or accidents, especially on long stretches without repeater signs. Showing no limit confuses users and suggests unedited segments. This issue frustrates Waze communities in the UK, USA, India, Canada, and beyond, demanding a smarter solution.Current Options
No limit: Safest option, avoiding misinformation, but frustrates users expecting guidance and implies segments weren’t edited. A better solution exists.
Maximum limit (e.g., 120 km/h): Risks speeding when actual limits are lower, endangering safety.
Average limit (e.g., 100 km/h): Unreliable due to VSL fluctuations, causing incorrect warnings.
Lowest limit (e.g., 60 km/h): Overly cautious, annoying users with unnecessary alerts.
Solution
Display a country-specific speed limit sign (e.g., Israel’s red circle, USA’s rectangle) in the same UI spot as numeric limits, but with a symbol (e.g., question mark "?", exclamation mark "!", or eye "👀") instead of a number, urging drivers to check roadside VSL signs. In the Waze Map Editor (WME), add a simple, country-specific symbol option for editors to tag VSL segments.Benefits
Safer Roads: Prevents reliance on wrong limits, reducing accidents and fines, aligning with Waze’s safety mission.
Clear Guidance: Familiar signs with a symbol ensure intuitive UI and proactive VSL alerts.
Trusted Map: Shows active editing, boosting confidence in Waze’s community-driven reliability.
Global Impact: Enhances user experience worldwide, from Tel Aviv to Toronto, strengthening Waze’s leadership.
Simple Innovation: Minimal UI/WME changes, echoing Waze’s Israeli-born crowd-sourced vision.
Example
On Israel’s Ayalon Highway or Switzerland’s A1, where limits vary (60–120 km/h), Waze shows a red circle with a "?" to prompt checking electronic signs, ensuring safety and confirming editor input.Call to Action
Let’s build on Waze’s innovative roots to make roads safer globally. Can we collaborate to bring this to life?Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits

Indicateur de vitesse
Bonjour,
Ne serait il pas possible de remonter un peu l'indicateur de vitesse sur la carte afin qu'il reste bien visible quand l'indicateur d'événements en bas de l'écran remonte ?c'est une situation agaçante dans le sens où on ne sait vraiment pas si on est loin de la bonne vitesse, et essayer de le faire disparaitre avec un doigt tout en roulant est trop dangereux.
Merci beaucoup.

Mode Conduite accompagnée et Apprentis
Il serait bien, pour les jeunes en conduite accompagnée ou pour les Apprentis de créer un paramètre qui permettrait d'avoir les limitations de vitesse adéquates et l'heure d'arrivée correspondante.
De plus, un A ou CA, sur l'icône du Wazzer serait un petit plus pour faire se rendre compte aux autres utilisateurs qu'il y a aussi des novices autour d'eux.2 votes -

Option to not have WAZE auto start on Android Auto. I don't need/want WAZE if i'm making short around town trips.
Many times if I'm going to be making short round-town errands, I don't really need WAZE. A simple option that would save on battery utilization and charge cycles. WAZE should initialize only when I run the app. This would extend the battery life and reduce the number of charge cycles thereby extending battery wear. You're SOL if you forget your charging cable.

Work with Apple to bring back Siri support for Waze
I found on a Google forum that you removed Siri support since Apple's new privacy policy "prohibits apps from collecting data about users' location without their consent." But arguments can be made that everything here is consensual. Please work to bring this back since it was a VERY useful feature for Car Play, in an era of dangerous touchscreen in our vehicles.

HGV Fuel
Add a feature to search for specific HGV fuel filling stations. Manyfilling stations can't accept an HGV due to access or height restrictions. Many filling stations have seperate filling pumps for HGV with a high flow rate as well as more headroom and no tight turns.

Move the road alerts to the top right or bottom left corner so not blocking arrival time?
Can you move the road alerts to the other side of the screen so I can still see the distance and arrival time without to click the "still there or not there" button to remove the alert?

L’affichage de la vitesse locale est vraiment trop petit, presque illisible.
Bonjour,
Je suis un heureux utilisateur de votre application, j’ai une suggestion que me paraît très importante :
L’affichage de la vitesse locale est vraiment trop petit, presque illisible sur mon écran sur le tableau de bord. Ce paramètre est essentiel pour moi puisque l’affichage des vitesses limites sur la route est presque inexistant vu la distance exagérée entre deux panneaux. Je constate fréquemment que je ne sais plus à un moment donné quelle est la vitesse réglementaire actuelle. On peut être facilement en infraction non souhaitée.
Je vous remercie de votre aide.2 votes -

Waypoints
Would be great to have the option of refining a route by inputting waypoints. It is noted that there is an ability to input a single 'stop' but the time to that stop is displayed rather than the time to the destination - you need to tap the bottom bar periodically to check your destination ETA. So please include an option to input waypoints and to have the final desti ETA permanently displayed

Report a Hazard
Under a report of hazard there should be several options
“” report a hazard on the right side report a hazard on the left side report a hazard on the opposite side of the highway and a selection for vehicle type or color it would really help indicate whether or not the vehicle is helping a pedestrian or if a vehicle is outside of their car if there was an option to state so2 votes -

Android Auto display on instrument cluster on VW Group cars
I've hit this issue and according to research it has been reported by other people using Waze Android Auto on VW Group cars.
In my case I have a Skoda Superb, and when using Waze Android Auto navigation, the instrument cluster will often(/always) show incorrect symbols for turns.
It seems to mostly go wrong for roundabouts, which the UK has many of. Roundabout direction icons will either incorrectly show as just a turn, or in the worst cases a right turn at a roundabout will show with a U-turn symbol.
This confusing display has been enough to stop me using Waze, I'm using Google Maps instead.

Adding a “Smart Location Clipboard” Feature to Waze on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Proposal: Adding a “Smart Location Clipboard” Feature to Waze on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Current Issue:
When using Waze through CarPlay or Android Auto, drivers and map editors cannot directly save or share a location from the Waze interface.
To save a location, the driver must:
1. Disconnect the phone from CarPlay/Android Auto.
2. Open Waze on the phone.
3. Select “Share location.”
4. Exit the app.
5. Paste the location into Notes or another app and manually add details.This process is complicated, distracting for the driver, and in some cases, can cause accidents.
Proposed Solution – “Smart Location Clipboard”:
• Add a button or voice command within Waze on CarPlay/Android Auto to save the current location or any location shown on the map directly.
• No need to disconnect the phone or leave Waze.
• Saved locations are stored in a special “clipboard” inside Waze.
• Ability to quickly assign a tag or category to the saved location (e.g., school, gas station, landmark, construction site, etc.) either:
• By selecting from a quick list on the screen, or
• By using a simple voice command such as:
• “There is a school here”
• “There is a gas station here”
• “There is a landmark here”
• Users and editors can later review, edit, and share these saved locations from the phone.Benefits:
• Reduces driver distraction and increases road safety.
• Simplifies the workflow for active map editors.
• Speeds up the process of recording important points and notes while driving.
• Encourages richer and more accurate map data through quick categorization and instant voice reporting.Proposal: Adding a “Smart Location Clipboard” Feature to Waze on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
