Allow users to suggest speed limit corrections
Currently, speed limits on the map can only be updated by map editors. This process is slow, especially when the main source of information, like Google Street View, is outdated. This leads to inaccurate speed limits or missing data on many road segments.
This suggestion is to add a new reporting option that allows any user to suggest a correction to the speed limit. This would not directly change the speed limit on the map, but it would create a "pending edit" for map editors to review and approve.
How it would work:
A new "Map Issue" report could be introduced, allowing users to report an "Incorrect Speed Limit." When this option is selected, the user would be prompted to press a button at the start of the road segment where the new speed limit sign is located, and another button at the end of the segment where the speed limit changes again. This way, the system can automatically determine the exact length of the segment that needs to be corrected. This report would then be flagged for review by local map editors.
Benefits of this feature:
• Faster updates: Allows for quicker corrections of outdated speed limits, as thousands of users can provide real-time data from the road.
• Improved map accuracy: Ensures that the displayed speed limits are always current and correct, leading to a safer and more reliable navigation experience.
• Empowered community: Gives all Waze users a direct way to contribute to the accuracy of the map, beyond just reporting hazards.
• Reduced workload for editors: Editors would no longer have to manually search for outdated segments. Instead, they would only need to verify and approve user-submitted changes, making their work more efficient.
This feature would bridge the gap between static map data and real-time road conditions, making Waze even more accurate and community-driven.Currently, speed limits on the map can only be updated by map editors.

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

Displaying the sections where the speed of travel from point A to point B is recorded by the cameras of the Toll system for vignettes.
Hello Bulgaria, but not only Bulgaria. Since the beginning of September 2025, the toll system that monitors purchased vignettes has started measuring average speed in certain sections of the road network.
Unfortunately, these road sections are not marked on the road itself, and drivers have no way of knowing that they are entering these sections.
The state, represented by the Road Agency and the Toll System, published a list and map on their website showing where these sections are located, and that was the end of the information on this change.
It is clear that the state is doing this to increase revenue from fines, not to prevent speeding and manage road traffic intelligently.My suggestion is to put these road sections with cameras on Waze so that drivers are informed when they pass through them.

Speed limit icon too small and it would be better on the left-hand side of the screen

Make text clearer
In android auto, smaller text on the map is barely readable due to it not having anti aliasing and the text isnt even aligned correctly, so every letter has a 1-2 pixel height difference, and the text is also jittery.
Please, fix this. In google maps, it renders really well even on lower resolution displays.2 votes -
Save vehicles
Sometimes I ride my motorbike, sometimes I drive my car. Both have different properties. The car uses diesel, and have highway vignette. With bike, I don’t go on highways, and it uses petrol 95. It would be nice to have an option when I open Waze, that it asks me “which vehicle are you using?”. Then I can choose my car or bike, and it loads in their previously saved properties, so i don’t have to change them one-by-one every time I change my vehicles. I believe I’m not the one who uses different types of vehicles, so it would be a huge help.

Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts
Description:
Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll booths, sharp curves, forks, merging, complex intersections) under one setting. This means users can only turn them all on or off.
Many drivers would like finer control. For example, speed bump alerts are often unnecessary or distracting, while alerts for toll booths or sharp curves are very useful.
Please allow users to selectively enable or disable each type of permanent road feature alert. This customization would improve the driving experience without losing important safety information.2 votes -
Caminhao
Boa tarde.
Sou motorista de caminhão e use rotineiramente o app Waze. Porém muitas vezes me vejo em situações difíceis porque o aplicativo me manda para rotas onde e proibido o tráfego de caminhões ou em vias difíceis de transitar com esse tipo de veículo. Algumas vezes o aplicativo me tira da rodovia para transitar por dentro da cidade.
Então venho até vocês (Desenvolvedores) sugerir que seja colocado nas configurações do app o ícone de caminhão e que tbm tenha rotas para transitar fora dos grandes centros evitando rotatórias pequenas e ruas estreitas em bairros.

Reporting Turns of Apple Music in CarPlay
Since the "Talk to Report" feature was introduced for user reporting of road hazards etc, as soon as I touch the Report button Music stops and Waze chimes in. This works, but the music won't turn back on. This regardless of the fact that "Talk to Report" is turned off in settings on the iOS App. So far the only cure for Music is to reset the phone (and never report again)! This is a shame, as I like to be part of the community, but the current price is too high.
