Hola equipo de Waze,
Quiero hacerles una sugerencia respecto a las opciones de reporte en carretera. Actualmente, cuando los usuarios queremos señalar la presencia de autoridades, solo aparece la categoría de “policía”, pero en países como Colombia también existen los agentes de tránsito, que cumplen funciones distintas y cuya presencia es igualmente importante para los conductores.Considero que sería muy útil para la comunidad de Waze que se incluya una opción específica llamada “agente de tránsito”, de manera que los usuarios podamos diferenciar entre ambas autoridades. Esto no solo aportaría mayor precisión en la información compartida, sino que también fortalecería la seguridad vial y ayudaría a los conductores a estar mejor informados en carretera.
En Colombia ambos roles son necesarios, pero no significan lo mismo:
Policía: se relaciona más con controles de seguridad y orden público.
Agente de tránsito: está enfocado en la movilidad, infracciones viales y regulación del tráfico.
La posibilidad de diferenciarlos mejoraría la experiencia de los usuarios y la calidad de los reportes. Sería un pequeño cambio con gran impacto positivo en la aplicación.
Muchas gracias por la atención y por seguir mejorando la plataforma día a día.

Reporting App Abuse / False Police Indicators
We have a neighbor who plays “Waze hall monitor” every single afternoon, marking that there’s a police officer in front of his house — even though there is never an officer present. He does this daily just to slow traffic in front of his home.
I’ve tried to report it, but the profile shows only as “anonymous.” When I click on the police icon, the only option is a thumbs-up to confirm it’s there.
Waze should add:
A “Not There” or thumbs-down option to counter false reports.
A Report User option to flag accounts that repeatedly post fake alerts.
This would stop people from abusing Waze and keep alerts reliable for actual drivers.
VOTE IF YOU AGREE & WANT THIS FEATURE ADDED!!

CarPlay voice reporting optional
Please make voice reporting optional in CarPlay. I’m seeing significantly less reporting since this feature was installed. Plus, I get an error every time press the button and it won’t let me use voice if I wanted to.

Show Suburb Name While Driving
It would be very useful if Waze could display the current suburb/locality name on the main navigation screen while driving. At the moment, suburb names only appear faintly on the map or in some voice instructions, but they are not always visible.
Having the suburb name clearly shown (for example, near the top or bottom of the screen) would help drivers quickly know which suburb they are in, especially in large cities with many small suburbs. This would improve situational awareness and make navigation more convenient.

Notify nearby drivers of safety alerts such as headlights
I notice cars driving in the dark with day time running lights on. Their cars don’t automatically turn on their headlights and taillights but do turn on their dash lights. It would be nice to send them an alert and even instructions (especially if they are in a rental) to turn on their lights. It must be scary for them to drive with basic no headlights and it’s scary for me to see people drive without taillights. There can be other safety alerts such as the gas door open/ cap hanging. This would be an opt in thing to help young and non-car enthusiasts get help from the Waze community.

Ability to Mark Playground zones
Hello, I would like to see the ability to mark the start and finish of playground zones, very similar to marking school zones. Some playground zones are marked with times and others are marked from sunset to sundown which can pose a local problem depending but in general can still be marked using seasonal general times.

Pause Other Audio, not lower volume
I've seen claims there's a feature to pause spoken audio or other things when alerts come through - but I do not see that feature in settings. While the lowered volume when alerts come in isn't a problem for music, it is not ideal for listening to podcasts or long form video/audio essays, which is often what I am playing.
It lowers the volume of what is playing and then speaks over it, making it difficult for me to make out the alert it is giving anyway. I just started using this app in the past few days but this is the consistently biggest gripe for me, in an otherwise pretty great app so far.

Street names hide important information
The name of the streets hides the visual information of the map in intersections or roundabout. This is a problem, not a suggestion. The voices information is important but the visual indications are important too. May be a check button to enable or disable that information about the name of the streets could be the solution. thanks.

Speeding Threshold Exceeded Alert could be more prominent
The alert for exceeding the speeding threshold is a rather low volume ding. An option for louder and/or more prominent like the red light camera alert would be awesome. Thx

Recurring travel times/ locations
Have a way to quickly make recurring trips so that we don’t have to separately make plans for trips that happen frequently. E.g. work - Mon-Thurs arriving by 7am. School - Mon-Fri arrive by 3pm ect. This way we will get alerts for variations on current traffic conditions and adjust accordingly.

Fix your search
Search engine for waze is really bad.
If you type in "Go Electric" wont get hits for "Go-Electric".
Also if you prepend prepositions in spanish language, often results are not found.For example if you type in "marisqueria el diez", it wont match "restaurante bar y marisqueria el diez". Why wouldnt it match? makes no sense
