multicolor traject controlled side bar
The side bar appearing when you are in a speed controlled zone (traject control) is always green. If the average speed of this zone is 70 can the app constantly calculate your speed and keep the bar green when you are in this average speed but turn yellow when you reach 70 and red when you cross the average speed (71-up) so you know you need to slow down to stay on the average speed, or you have room to speed up a little when you had to stop for any reason without overspeeding the average speed.

Map issue
I would like to report that there is a problem in my map view, the name of the street I am on is displayed in the bottom of the map, right where I should see the navigation icon, and it is making difficult to navigate, I tried to desactivate this in the configuration but I did not found this setting. It would be best if the street name be displayed in the top of the map.

Princess Donut and AI voices from Dungeon Crawler Carl
Would Love to have the voices for navigation of Princess Donut and AI from Dungeon Crawler Carl!
A third option would be Carl from Dungeon Crawler Carl.I would also love the option to pay to keep a certain voice so it never goes away.

Please find a way without adjusting my phone, android, to increase the font on the turn directions in the black box in the top left corner.
Make the street names that appear right below the car icon larger in addition to the turn-by-turn directions in the black box in the top left corner. Also if I'm going somewhere and I want to search for a new location it shouldn't come up with no results it should ask if I want to cancel the current route and

מניעת שכחת ילד ברכב
פיצ'ר "מצב ילד" - מניעה אקטיבית של שכחת ילדים (ללא מטרת רווח)
הצורך: התזכורת הנוכחית היא פסיבית וגורמת ל"עיוורון התראות".
הפתרון:
1. בתחילת נסיעה: הוספת מתג מהיר "יש ילד ברכב?" (יופיע חכם לפי שעות הגן/בית ספר).
2. בסיום נסיעה: האפליקציה תדרוש פעולה פיזית (אישור בסליידר) כדי לוודא שהרכב נסרק, ולא תסתפק בהודעה שנעלמת.
3. רשת ביטחון: התראה קולנית חריגה אם הנהג התרחק מהרכב מבלי שביצע את האישור.השורה התחתונה: הופכים את Waze מצופה מהצד לשותפה אקטיבית בהצלת חיים, באפס עלות חומרה למשתמש.

Inaccurate “Public transportation” Ticket Alerts for motorcycle-only routes
In Taiwan, many segments and turns (which aren’t public transportation lanes) are restricted to motorcycles only (24/7). However, the system currently assumes they are public transportation lanes by design and shows this pop-up.
As a result, when navigating through these routes, the app mistakenly shows a ‘Ticket Alert’ with a ‘Public transportation vehicles only’ warning. This causes a lot of confusion for users.
To improve the user experience, I suggest displaying a specific ‘Motorcycles Only’ warning when approaching routes restricted to motorcycles.
This would act as a great reminder for users who might have accidentally set their vehicle type to Motorcycle while driving a Private car or Taxi. Seeing this alert will prompt them to check their settings and switch to the correct mode if necessary.
Thanks!

Option to remove quick access on sound/mute from map display
Please give us the option to remove quick access sound button from the map display. I prefer a clean map without all the unnecessary button on the display. The settings button is fine, should be allowed to remove everything else on the display. I never use sound navigation, it is a distraction otherwise.

Roronoa Zoro
Since he's directionally challenged, maybe we can show him the right way to go without side quests. I would love to hear mosshead yelling at me, that I'm going the wrong direction. Waze was made for him. Lol

WayPoints
While driving down the road, I should be able to press my cat icon and set a waypoint or point of interest using current location. This allows me to save points of interests for future trips. This would be very helpful

Reports
I would like it if in the account history I was able to see more information about reports I've done, and to export that data.
I use Waze as I'm driving to report potholes and then later I carry that over to my city's website in order to get it fixed.
In Waze, when I look at previous reports I just see a small map that often doesn't show the street names or the crossing streets.
I would like for the app to have a zoomable map so I can zoom out and see where the report was. Ideally I would be able to export the day and time of the report, the type, the lat/long of the report, the street name and direction of travel in a .CSV file.

I would like to see waze showing offline music player apps such as poweramp while driving
Waze is not showing offline music playing. To be honest all the other apps are online based, which is pretty bad while driving as it depends on network availability.

Añadir GNC a los combustibles del vehículo
Hola,
Soy usuario habitual de Waze y conduzco un vehículo GNC (gas natural comprimido). Actualmente, la aplicación no permite seleccionar GNC como tipo de combustible, lo que limita mucho la planificación de rutas y la búsqueda de estaciones adecuadas.
Sería muy útil poder:
• Seleccionar GNC como combustible del vehículo
• Filtrar gasolineras con GNC
• Integrar esta opción en la planificación de rutasGracias por tenerlo en cuenta.

Too many notifications before a turn, can we decide distance before a turn
At the moment I get a notification about 1km before a turn, then about 800m, 500m, 200m. It’s too many. Just a menu item with a list of possible turn distance notifications, and a checkbox next to each so we can decide how many. My own choice would be 800m and 200m, but two is enough notifications for a turn in my opinion. Maybe also a system to adjust these distances depending on my speed. But maybe that’s getting too complicated! But basically give us the possibility to choose.

Speed and red light cameras and other cameras
Is it possible if waze said for speed and red light cameras and other cameras to say where any camera is in 1 mile not in 0.2 miles because that way people would get a heads up and not panic and not slam on the brakes cause that can be dangerous

Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names.
Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names. Listening to a pronunciation of a street that is way off is rritating. Locals are going to know the correct pronunciation. I cringe every time I hear what I presume to be AI, butcher a street name.

Több jármű beállíthatósága
Jó lenne egy olyan lehetőség, hogy több járművet lehessen beállítani egy felhasználóhoz ingyenesen mondjuk max 4db és ezek között egyszerűen lehessen váltogatni egy intuitív felületen. Amikor elkezdjük az utazás megtervezését akkor először kérdezzen rá, hogy melyik járművel szeretnénk menni amikor meg egy megtervezett utazásról van szó akkor meg automatikusan azt a járművet válassza amivel el lett mentve. És lehessen egy kedvencet kiválasztani amit bármikor egyetlen kattintással lehet váltani. Hasonlóan mint a zenelejátszó és értesítések.

Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Feature: Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Problem:
When one vehicle hard-brakes on a highway, it creates a backward-traveling shockwave. Due to human reaction times, vehicles behind brake even harder — causing a dead-stop jam with no actual obstruction. These "phantom jams" cause thousands of rear-end collisions yearly.
Proposed Solution:
Waze already collects real-time GPS telemetry from millions of drivers. If the system detects a sudden velocity drop, it could instantly push a "Reduce speed to 60 km/h" advisory to drivers further back — absorbing the shockwave before it cascades.
I Built a Working Simulation:
I've created an open-source Python simulation using the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) physics that proves this works:
Without intervention: 11/15 vehicles reach dead stop
With V2Cloud warning: Zero vehicles stopped, shockwave fully absorbed
Effectiveness drops sharply above 1.5s latency — Waze's existing infrastructure is fast enough
GitHub (full code + demo): https://github.com/san342147/v2cloud-traffic-optimization
Video demo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/[YOUR-LINKEDIN-URL]
No new hardware required. No V2V sensors. Just an algorithm upgrade to Waze's existing real-time traffic engine.
I'm a B.Tech AIML student from Chennai, India and would love to discuss this further with the Waze engineering team.
