שיפור תזמון ההתראה הסופית לפני פנייה.
כיום, ההתראה האחרונה ("פנה ימינה") מגיעה לעיתים שניה או שתיים בלבד לפני הצומת. במהירות עירונית או בכבישים עמוסים, זה לא משאיר מספיק זמן לתגובה בטוחה. אני מציע להקדים את התזמון של ההתראה האחרונה ב-3 עד 5 שניות נוספות, כדי לאפשר לנהג להתכונן לביצוע הפנייה ברוגע ובטיחות.

Add voice notification when there is a mobile police camera in the opposite lane
I use Waze almost every day. I recently received a ticket and noticed that when there is a mobile police camera marked in the opposite lane (even on a two-way road), Waze does not send me a voice notification or warn me about it. Mobile police cameras measure speed in both directions. Can you make the app send a notification even if there is a mobile police camera marked in the opposite lane?

Is there a way of doing this already? Is there a reason that this hasn’t been done already?

To whom this may concern, I would like to see the speed zone and actual speed larger
I find the speed zone is too small, it should be enlarged.
I would like to see the speed zone and my travel speed larger font and bolded please.2 votes -
Increase notification for destination
The first time I used waze I completely missed my destination. Im used to my old map app zooming in and notifying me if I have missed it. Waze just assumes you have arrived and so I was lost after I missed my destination. There was also no notification to turn, it just assumed where I was going was in the middle of the road, with no sound to let me know when I have arrived and if the directions had worked. This makes the app unusable for me as rural areas sometimes houses and places are very hidden!

Bloquear zonas o lugares peligrosos
Seriía bueno que a uno le permita "banear" o bloquear lugares peligrosos o considerados como zonas rojas entre sus rutas para que la navegación no lo tire a uno por ahí, algo así como permite bloquear ferrys, peajes, etc.
Aquí en Guatemala hay muchas zonas de alto riesgo que sí uno entra, de entrada le disparan, pero Waze no lo sabe y tira rutas para que uno pase por ahí y siendo que uno no conoce, se arriesga a salir herido o muerto de esos sitios.

Opciones "Sin tráfico" y "Transitar con precaución"
Me gustaría que hubiera la opción de "Sin tráfico" para los casos donde el trancon terminó y pues ya no hay tráfico.
Además de la opción "Transitar con precaución" para zonas que pueden ser peligrosas para el vehículo y las personas.2 votes -
Speed limit indicator
Change the colour of the 'proportion of speed limit' indicator line from grey to green which would make it easier to read at a glance and mean less time looking away from the road - especially useful in built up areas where it's sometimes not clear whether the limit is 20mph or 30mph

Optional persistent reminder while inside an active school zone
Waze already provides an alert when a driver enters an active school zone, which is very helpful. However, once that initial alert has passed, there is no ongoing indication that the driver is still within the active school zone.
In real driving conditions, drivers may stop at traffic lights, turn onto side streets, or continue driving for several minutes within the same school zone. Over time, the initial alert can fade from awareness, even though the zone is still active.
Consider adding an optional, low‑distraction persistent reminder while the vehicle remains inside an active school zone (for example, a configurable periodic chime or brief reminder). This could help reinforce driver awareness and encourage continued attention to speed and surroundings throughout the zone, without requiring additional interaction.
This would build on existing school‑zone data and alerts, and could be fully user‑configurable to avoid alert fatigue.Waze already provides an alert when a driver enters an active school zone, which is very helpful.

Lack of Context in Rerouting: Security Risks and User Autonomy
The current Waze algorithm often reroutes users on long-distance trips without providing the underlying reason (e.g., specific accidents, road closures, or incremental traffic). While this "silent optimization" might work for short urban commutes, it represents a significant strategic failure for long-haul navigation for the following reasons:
Safety vs. Efficiency: By prioritizing the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) above all else, the app frequently diverts drivers from well-monitored, high-infrastructure highways to poorly maintained or dangerous secondary roads to save a negligible amount of time. Without knowing why the route was changed, the driver cannot assess if the time-saving is worth the safety risk.
Loss of Situational Awareness: On long journeys, a driver is a decision-maker, not just a data point. If the app detects a total road closure 30 miles ahead but only shows a new path, the driver loses the opportunity to make strategic choices, such as stopping at a service station to wait or choosing a different, safer detour.
Algorithmic Opacity: The lack of transparency creates distrust. If the system suggests a detour without specifying the cause, the user is more likely to ignore the instruction, potentially heading straight into a major gridlock.
Requested Feature:
Implement a mandatory notification (visual or auditory) for significant route changes on long-distance trips, specifying the cause (e.g., "Route changed due to accident on Hwy X"). The driver must be kept in the loop to maintain safety and logistical control over the trip.The current Waze algorithm often reroutes users on long-distance trips without providing the underlying reason (e.g., specific accidents, road closures, or incremental traffic).

Improve motorcycle mode and route suggestions
It’s great that Waze has a dedicated motorcycle mode. However it does not feel like a dedicated mode. We get the same road suggestions as with a car. A motorcycle can move fast through smaller roads and not be stuck in traffic. If I choose avoid motorways, I may miss a part that would be better done there. Moreover, proposals and ETA are impacted by lane splitting. But this does not always work or is allowed, so it should not be taken on board. And on the interface side, you still need to push buttons - there is not great integration for voice commands and on iOS it’s even more underwhelming. Motorcyclists could give fast updates on traffic, but we need more options.
Proposals:
Improve/empower Waze motorcycle mode with route options factoring in smaller roads where a motorcycle can go.
Give better options on your interface for bikers with helmets and voice commands.

Speedometer Alarm Customization
Hi, the main reason I found and installed Waze was to help manage my speed on long trips. As others have mentioned in the past, the alarm is somewhat subtle and short, which reduces its effectiveness. I would encourage you to add several styles of alarm for someone to choose from, and/or an option to keep the alarm on or beeping until under the desired speed threshold. I'm envisioning something like a seatbelt alarm, because those are very effective!
Thanks for your consideration!

Product Gap
Limiting routes to only one stop is a major usability gap—most navigation apps support multiple stops, and this is a basic expectation, especially for Android Auto users.
Also, the inability to edit destinations after adding a stop and the lack of address visibility for saved contacts are functional limitations, not feature requests.
This impacts real-world usage like errands, deliveries, or multi-stop trips. It reduces Waze’s practicality compared to competitors.
Please confirm if these are actively being worked on or planned. Redirecting to the suggestion box doesn’t resolve the current usability problems.
