Dynamic Color Coding for Public Transport / Bus Lanes based on Time Restrictions
In many countries , governments are creating dedicated public transport lanes (Bus Lanes). Many of these lanes have specific operating hours, meaning they are completely open to regular private cars during off-peak hours (like nights, weekends, or specific mid-day hours).However, drivers often avoid using these lanes even when it is perfectly legal to do so. This happens out of fear of getting a heavy traffic fine, or simply because they cannot read the complex roadside signs in time while driving fast. This leads to a massive waste of road infrastructure: an entirely empty lane next to a heavily congested highway.My Suggestion for Waze:Waze should introduce dynamic visual guidance for public transport lanes based on real-time restrictions:Green Lanes: Color the bus lane Green on the map during the exact hours when private vehicles are legally allowed to use it. Waze should also route drivers through it.Red Lanes: Color the lane Red (or keep it restricted) during the hours when private cars are prohibited from entering.This simple, real-time visual cue will significantly reduce traffic congestion, give drivers confidence, and optimize the use of existing road infrastructure worldwide.

CLEAN UP THE MAIN SCREEN
This is a Complaint, not an "idea." You HAD a perfectly good method of choosing your displayed Vehicle type in Preferences. ONCE and ONLY ONCE.
Whose "brilliant" idea was it to load down the main screen by adding a "Car or Motorcycle" choice EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU CHOOSE A ROUTE?
Is this some pathetic attempt at "Social Engineering" by "suggesting" that we should all ride two-wheelers because they are more fuel-efficient?
I am 64 Years' old. I don't have the desire, or the balance, to switch to a Motorcycle for my 40-mile-each-way-daily-commute. ...And if I Did, I wouldn't be bouncing back-and-forth every trip!This is a Complaint, not an "idea."

Problem for Login to Live Map on Website
With the correct email and password or using the QR, it need to tried for many times to login the live Map from computer web.
Many case after success login. The live map page is still remain the same as normal, the Login button will still remain on the right top corner. Tried both using email and password and QR. The live map page just same as no user login.
if managed to login, less then a minutes it will auto logout the user without notice. then you will the Login button appear on the top right corner again.
Please fix this Waze team. it is very not bad experience of using it.

Tolls Road
I suggest trying—if possible—to create a specific "report" type for countries that have road tolls (like Bulgaria), such as a "BGTOLL vehicle" category; there are many instances where these are reported as police cars, but in reality, they are just vehicles equipped with cameras to check for vignettes.

Odcinkowy pomiar prędkości
PL: Obecnie podczas przejazdu przez odcinkowy pomiar prędkości Waze pokazuje ikonę OPP oraz dystans pozostały do końca odcinka. Ikona wyświetlana jest w jednym, stałym kolorze jasnoniebieskim, niezależnie od tego, czy kierowca jedzie w bezpiecznym tempie, czy przekracza dozwoloną średnią prędkość na odcinku – pełni więc funkcję czysto informacyjną („jesteś na OPP”), ale nie mówi nic o tym, czy aktualne tempo jazdy jest odpowiednie. Kierowca nie ma też informacji, ile ma zapasu lub niedoboru czasu względem limitu. Utrudnia to płynne dostosowanie prędkości i zwiększa ryzyko przekroczenia limitu na końcu odcinka albo niepotrzebnego, gwałtownego hamowania tuż przed jego zakończeniem.
Propozycja funkcji:
Dynamiczny kolor ikony OPP na dole ekranu
Proponuję, aby kolor ikony zmieniał się dynamicznie w zależności od tego, czy kierowca mieści się w limicie średniej prędkości na danym odcinku:
🟢 Zielony – kierowca jedzie w tempie pozwalającym zmieścić się w dozwolonej średniej prędkości na całym odcinku (ma zapas czasowy).
🔴 Czerwony – kierowca jedzie za szybko względem dozwolonej średniej i musi zwolnić, by nie przekroczyć limitu na końcu OPP.
🔵 (opcjonalnie, jako stan pośredni/domyślny) – jasnoniebieski, tak jak obecnie, gdy system jeszcze nie ma wystarczających danych do wyliczenia zapasu/deficytu (np. tuż po wjeździe na odcinek).
Dodatkowa informacja liczbowa pod dystansem do końca odcinka
Przy zielonej ikonie: np. „Zapas: możesz jechać ~15 km/h szybciej przez pozostały odcinek i się zmieścisz” lub prościej w sekundach: „Masz 15 s zapasu do końca odcinka”.
Przy czerwonej ikonie: np. „Jedziesz za szybko – zwolnij, przekraczasz limit o 20 s” lub „Musisz stracić ~20 s do końca odcinka, by zmieścić się w limicie”.
Sposób wyliczania
Aplikacja zna: (a) długość całego odcinka OPP, (b) limit prędkości/średniej na tym odcinku, (c) aktualną pozycję i czas, jaki upłynął od wjazdu na odcinek. Na tej podstawie może w czasie rzeczywistym wyliczać „czas idealny” (jaki powinien upłynąć przy jeździe dokładnie z limitem) i porównywać go z rzeczywistym czasem przejazdu – różnica to właśnie zapas/deficyt w sekundach.
Korzyści:
Kierowca dostaje czytelną, jednoznaczną informację zwrotną (kolor + liczba), a nie musi sam liczyć w głowie, ile ma jeszcze prędkości do zapasu.
Zmniejsza ryzyko gwałtownego hamowania tuż przed końcem OPP (co poprawia bezpieczeństwo).
Pomaga uniknąć niepotrzebnych mandatów przy jednoczesnym płynniejszym, bardziej ekonomicznym stylu jazdy.
Wpisuje się w filozofię Waze jako aplikacji dbającej o komfort i bezpieczeństwo kierowcy.ENG: Currently, while driving through a section with average speed control (Section Control / average speed cameras), Waze only shows the section-control icon along with the remaining distance to the end of the section. The icon is displayed in a single, fixed light blue color, regardless of whether the driver is keeping a safe pace or exceeding the allowed average speed for the section — it therefore serves a purely informational purpose ("you are in a speed-controlled section"), but says nothing about whether the current driving pace is appropriate. Drivers also have no information about how much time buffer or deficit they have relative to the limit. This makes it harder to smoothly adjust speed and increases the risk of exceeding the limit near the end of the section, or of unnecessary hard braking right before it ends.
Proposed feature:
Dynamic color of the section-control icon at the bottom of the screen
I propose that the icon's color change dynamically depending on whether the driver is staying within the average speed limit for the given section:
🟢 Green – the driver is driving at a pace that will keep them within the allowed average speed for the entire section (they have a time buffer).
🔴 Red – the driver is going too fast relative to the allowed average and needs to slow down in order not to exceed the limit by the end of the section.
🔵 (optional, as an intermediate/default state) – light blue, as it is now, when the system doesn't yet have enough data to calculate the buffer/deficit (e.g., right after entering the section).
Additional numeric info below the remaining distance
With the green icon: e.g. "Buffer: you can drive ~15 km/h faster for the rest of the section and still make it" or, more simply, in seconds: "You have a 15 s buffer until the end of the section."
With the red icon: e.g. "You're going too fast – slow down, you're exceeding the limit by 20 s" or "You need to lose ~20 s by the end of the section to stay within the limit."
Calculation method
The app already knows: (a) the total length of the section-control zone, (b) the speed/average limit for that section, (c) the current position and the time elapsed since entering the section. Based on this, it can calculate in real time the "ideal time" (the time that should elapse if driving exactly at the limit) and compare it with the actual elapsed time — the difference is exactly the buffer/deficit in seconds.
Benefits:
Drivers get clear, unambiguous feedback (color + number) instead of having to mentally calculate their remaining speed buffer themselves.
Reduces the risk of hard braking right before the end of the section (improving safety).
Helps avoid unnecessary speeding tickets while also encouraging a smoother, more fuel-efficient driving style.

Fix repeated talking and wrong talking
Recently, and probably before that, there has been a bug where if you use your voice to direct you on the map, and if I have to turn left or right coming up, it says to turn wayyyy before you need to turn. Another thing (not a bug- it's annoying) is that it keeps saying in 1 mile turn left/right, in 0.5 miles turn left/right, in 0.1 miles turn left/right, at the signal turn left/right. Me and my dad find this annoying.

AI-Powered "Wake-Up" Alerts at Bottlenecks & Green Lights to Dissolve Traffic Faster
The Problem:
Traffic jams and traffic lights clear up slowly because of human reaction time. When a light turns green or a bottleneck clears, there is a "domino effect" delay as each driver takes a few seconds to notice and move. This significantly reduces the number of cars that manage to pass through during a green light.The Solution:
Waze can detect the exact point where a bottleneck dissolves or when a traffic light turns green based on real-time data from the leading vehicles.Once this "release point" is identified, Waze should send a subtle, prompt audio/visual alert (like a gentle chime or a "Traffic is moving - stay close!" notification) strictly to the drivers at the front of the queue.
The Impact:
Even if only 50% of the drivers respond to this alert and minimize the gap with the vehicle ahead, it will dramatically speed up the traffic release rate. This crowd-sourced coordination will reduce the overall duration of bottlenecks and maximize the number of cars passing through every green light cycle.Proposed Pilot Program:
To test the effectiveness of this feature, Waze could launch a targeted pilot program at a few notorious intersections or well-known bottleneck locations with chronic traffic. By measuring queue lengths and wait times before and after implementing the alerts at these specific locations, Waze can scientifically prove the improvement in traffic flow before a global rollout.The Problem:

Navigation interruption
When receiving a Botim or WhatsApp call while driving, Waze gets pushed to the background, interrupting map navigation. To prevent this, please add support for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode. Additionally, if you re-open Waze after a call, it forces you to re-search the destination; the app should instead save the active trip and resume navigation automatically.
Suggested Fixes:
* Implement Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode so the map remains visible during calls.
* Ensure active navigation state is preserved so trips don't need to be restarted manually.2 votes -
Allow Waze users to correct sightings of "mobile police cameras" when it fact the devices are "license plate readers".
My town has many "license plate readers" that allow police to locate stolen cars or to respond to Amber and Silver alerts. Too many people report them as "mobile police cameras". These devices are not "mobile" and they are not intended to monitor speed. They are intended to locate bad actors. In fact, Waze should not identify these plate readers because they might help bad actors escape detection.
