Report markers should be marked when the user presses the report button, not the send button.
Whenever I drive on windy freeways, or freeways with frequent blind spots, I don't see reportable items (police, vehicles on shoulder, etc) until the moment I pass them. Given the typical delay of entering the data into Waze, the markers end up being 500 to 1000 plus feet away from the actual item being reported.

Add Alert for Roadside Assistance Vehicles (Australia)
I’d like to suggest adding a specific alert or hazard option for stationary roadside assistance vehicles in Australia (e.g. RAA, tow trucks). A new rule in South Australia—and soon other states—requires drivers to slow down to 25 km/h when passing these vehicles displaying flashing amber lights.
Including a reportable category or automatic alert would help increase compliance, improve safety for roadside workers, and align with local road laws.

I have both waze and google maps on my iPhone
I prefer waze as it is gets 99.9% if addresses perfect, and it’s just the best app ,
Google maps works on my large screen aftermarket car audio system via a connection cord to my iPhone , but waze doesn’t work can you make it so that it works !!! That would make your app wicked...2 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Police posting for them not to be able to take them down them selves
So basically instead of the police reports being able to be taken down by the police that is sitting there. There should be a need of two wazers to report that the police is not there as well as the vehicle has to be in motion for it to be able to report that the police is not there anymore. ( I should be paid for this idea)…

Improve navigation in tunnels
When a route that includes motorway tunnels is started in Waze, it includes sections in motorway tunnels accurately. Once in the tunnel it recalculates and guides you as if you are travelling above ground. Google Maps continues to show the route through the tunnel with an indication that the position of the vehicle is an estimate only. The Google Maps method should be applied to Waze.

Waze told me to turn east on Jaffa road (tel aviv) which is a public transport lane and is illegal to drive on with a private vehicle

Third lane
It would be very useful if it showed on the map when there is a third track. It could help mitigate road accidents, as it is in the third lane that most cars overtake other vehicles, and knowing when there will be one would help a lot.

Near Vicinity Target Versus Specific Address
I don't want to assume, but I have to believe machine learning at Waze is either a thing now or will be soon. To that end a feature I've been imagining for some time might be more easily achieved in the current technological state.
Idea: Since we typically do not drive our vehicles right into the mailbox of a given destination and knowing that, other than homes or small shops, a large percentage, perhaps a vast majority of destinations are large properties with big parking lots. If there was an "I'm here" or "I've Arrived" button, that GPS info…

Improve the way that traffic reporting works in cities
Avid Urban waze users like myself often find that our traffic reports will only cover a tiny segment of road, often only 100 or 200 ft. It seems this behavior has something to do with the way that the roads are segmented. There have been many times that I will be in traffic on an urban road in Chicago, report the traffic to help the community, and see that my report barely extends in front of and behind the icon of my vehicle. I'll either spam traffic reports every couple hundred feet while I'm in traffic to cover more…

Feature Suggestion: Truck & Travel Trailer Routing Mode
Hi Waze team! It would be incredibly helpful to add a dedicated routing option for trucks towing travel trailers. This feature could generate safe routes that account for:
- 🚫 Avoiding sharp or narrow right turns
- 🚧 Identifying height restrictions and bridge clearances
- 🛑 Bypassing roads with trailer or truck limitations
This would go a long way in improving safety and convenience for recreational drivers and towing vehicles. Thanks for considering!9 votes -
Feature Improvement
I have used the Share Drive feature on Waze multiple times. It is a good feature. In my opinion the feature would be improved if it maintained a trip for at least 30 minutes after the traveler stopped. I believe that Waze currently drops the trip after the traveler stops their vehicle. The user has to reset the feature when they resume their trip.

To add the Number Coding Scheme here in Metro Manila Philippines.
Please add the number coding scheme option for your users in Metro Manila Philippines. This will help users to fully optimize the use of their vehicles during "coding day." This will also help users avoid purchasing second or multiple cars to avoid the coding. The volume of cars here does not match the capacity of our roads.

Display unique symbols for hazards reported on the road
At the moment, you have to click on the Hazard symbol to actually know what the hazard is. And as people alway report vehicles stopped on the hard shoulder as being a hazard, its hard to know what action to take when driving unless you know what the hazard ahead is. It is also dangerous to have to click on the small hazard symbol whilst driving. So why not have different symbols for different hazards? These symbols would be displayed on the map, preventing the need to have to click on the hazard symbol in order to know what…

Car Play Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze Turn By Turn Dirrections Appearing On Instrument Cluster
Please allow users to enable and disable turn-by-turn directions in the instrument cluster. I don’t want to see it on my instrument cluster when I already have it on my navigation screen. Turn-by-turn directions on the instrument cluster were only available before on Apple Maps, recently Google Maps added it without any mention in the app update notes and no option in the settings to turn it off. I’m glad it’s not yet available on Waze because users can not turn off this feature in vehicle settings CarPlay settings, phone settings not even steering wheel settings! The only way to…

Popup messages for multiple road reports
On the way home tonight, Waze alerted me to several road problems ahead (police, stopped vehicles, etc.). The reports were in such close succession (less than a mile apart) that the popup message for the first report was still on screen when the popup message for the second report appeared. Unfortunately, the second popup was on top so I could no longer see any information about the first report. When displaying multiple popup messages simultaneously, Waze should layer them such that the hazard in closest proximity to you is on top, followed by the next closest, and so on.…

Live Web Feed Of Incidents For Selected Areas
Working with the Florida Highway Patrol, our Computer Aided Dispatch program feeds all traffic incidents, road blockage, etc to our website for public view. I'm sure other agencies have features like this as well. I think being able to take this data and feed it into Waze would make a huge difference. Who monitors a website while on a road trip?
I also think having a way for staff in a Traffic Management Center or Emergency Communication Center to be able to monitor a feed of incidents in their specific area could be an extremely valuable tool in helping to…

Cancel, or mute an alert.
Is there any way to shut off the alert, "Watch out!, vehicle parked on shoulder ahead"? Or at least mute the audio portion? It is quite loud and annoying!
