Can we get a known speed trap alert
Some areas are just known for speed traps. Maybe some kind of algorithm that logs how many drivers ping certain areas for speed traps for a period of time before its considered a "Known speed trap". This alert can be optional in carplay etc.

Waze needs to shut up if I start voice commands
If I'm in a busy area and want to change or stop guidance I will say "OK Waze" but I can never get my command spoken because waze is constantly interrupting me. This is insanely aggravating and should not be happening when I'm trying to drive and give a command.
So once I say OK Waze, waze should stop providing updates until the exchange is finished.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Disable selected/individual railroad crossing notifications.
Allow the option to disable select/individual rails road crossing notifications. I cross 6 separate railroads each day and I’m notified about them every single time. I keep the notifications on because I like to be notified of crossings when driving in an unfamiliar area. It would be great to have the option to select a specific crossing and mute/disable the notifications just for that one.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use…5 votes -
Add an option where you can choose whether you will be using a carpool lane so that
Add an option where you can choose whether you will be using a carpool lane so that traffic and ETA data are more accurate. If many members in a given area are using carpool lanes, they will bring the average speed up and ETA will be sooner than actual. There are times where my ETA has increased by 30 minutes on a 1 hour drive.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

be able to limit voice instructions to a single part of the route
I usually do the same route in which, approximately halfway along the route, there is a point of traffic congestion and this is where Waze is useful for me to find an alternative to that point. I would like to be able to select only a part of the journey to receive the directions and be able to avoid them for the rest of the journey as I don't need them. I use Waze on the phone connected by bluetooth to the car and I can't manipulate it to silence it.
I hope I explained myself well1 vote -

Make the name of the company featured in the ads more prominent.
Hi,
I think Waze is a fantastic product! Thanks for all the efforts that have gone into it!
I'm often presented with a pop-up when stopped, asking me if I've seen ads for any of the companies whose names are listed on the screen. I feel like 99% of the time, I don't recall seeing any of them.
I've noticed--and this may be the reason for the above--that often, when ads do pop up, the name of the company being advertised is hard to discern from the rest of the ad. I realize it's a small ad, but if companies…

Lane Assignments / Off-ramp Turns
I love Waze…. Hands-down, best traffic app there is! But I also absolutely HATE the app at times, especially when I miss my turn. The interface at interstate intersections, on and off ramps, is subpar to say the least. This is where Waze fails miserably. Every other app there is, or pre installed vehicle navigation systems, do such a better job at breaking down lane assignments or alerting to difficult or congested intersections. Waze needs to do better! I cannot miss anymore turns at off-ramps … I will pull the rest of my hair out!

Bom dia, muitos caminhoneiros utilizam o Wase e nao temos um suporte avançado como área de restrição ou ruas proibidas. Peço a gentileza el,
Muito caminhoneiros ulitizam o wase, poderia. Fazer melhorias no app para os caminhões contendo área de restrição exibindo rotas alternativas para os motoristas.
Várias cidades estão dificultando o nosso trabalho diariamente, e o wase vem auxiliando muito a categoria porém não temos uma opção para caminhão somente táxi particular ou moto, peço a gentileza de avaliar o meu pedido.2 votes -
Add back the Car
Add back the filters for Crash, Car on Shoulder, Car on Road, etc to the desktop version. As a Department of Transportation, we use WAZE to dispatch our service patrol to motorists and this is a great tool to have them check on vehicles if we don't have a camera in the area. It used to be there but has recently disappeared. (Waze told to put it as a suggestion)

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Enhance the Search Experience: Visualize Nearby Places on Map
Overview:
Improve the search experience by providing users with a visual representation of nearby places on the map. Currently, when searching for a specific place like McDonald's, the app displays a list of locations with their distances. However, it would be helpful to have the option to view these locations directly on the map, allowing users to assess their proximity to specific streets or areas.
Benefits:
Enhanced Decision-Making: Visualizing nearby places on the map provides users with a better understanding of their geographic distribution and allows them to evaluate which location is most convenient based on its proximity to…2 votes -
Replace the color of standstill traffic
Suggest to replace red color for standstill traffic to dark purple or black (normal theme background) / neon purple or bright magenta (black theme background) . There had few cases that drivers could not oversee how serious does the traffic are in that area. If drivers can notice the standstill traffic during navigation, drivers can decide whether to continue or use alternative ways to avoid being stuck in the standstill traffic.

Add a route option
I live in Texas and the route options do not take into consideration safety. Usually it gives me routes that are dark( no street lights) and thru miles in rural areas. I would like to suggest that a safe route option is added to the route options that takes the driver thru populated and areas with good street lightning. One should never compromise safety.

Melhorar a qualidade de um aplicativo muito bom!!!!

- Moro no Rio de Janeiro, conheço muito bem minha cidade, mas uso o Waze para me dar o caminho mais rápido. Uma ideia, por que vcs não sinalizam as áreas de risco com uma coloração mais diferenciada, tons claros, apenas para diferenciar áreas de riscos, passa pela área quem quiser ou que conheça!!!!!
- Parabenizar, pelas ultimas atualizações, muito bom a nova aparência do Waze, "Perfeito". Eu estava sentindo falta de um indicador de velocidade nas estradas e radares, Vcs lançaram essa semana essa condição, muito bom!!!!!! Uso…

Parking Space Locater Assist
Create a feature for locating a recent or soon to be available Parking space, name of the feature could be " Parking Space Locator Assist". This option would best serve users in a city or metropolitan area. You ever find yourself driving in a congested area, driving around for 20+ minutes just to find a parking space. Or when you are driving trying to find a place to park and noticed that someone else is leaving but you are still too late, someone else is now waiting to pull in! Wouldn’t it be great to have a feature…

enable upload and sharable "favorites" or "waypoints"
I'm a Member of a Volunteer Search and Rescue team. In the past we were able to share pre-staged "rally Points" by loading a Garmin GPX file in various GPS devices. I would like to import these "favorites" into my Waze profile and share it with others on our team.
This could also benefit others who want to migrate from a Garmin or Tom Tom Device and not share their points, as well as other organizations who have pre-planned assembly areas.

Show Congestion/ULEZ zone and tell Waze what car you have
It would be super useful to have the ULEZ/Congestion Charge zones both highlighted in the Waze map. It would be amazing if you could actually make them both different coloured areas with different coloured roads too!
Secondly it would be amazing to be able to tell Waze what car you’re driving and Waze could take that into consideration when planning your route. Several times I’ve been rerouted towards the Rotherhite tunnel which is a 2tonne limit and my car is just over two tonnes so I’d get a fine.5 votes -
Please allow a user to spell a destination.
Waze sometimes misinterprets what a user says. I live in an area where both English and French are spoken. I have Waze set to use English. However, some destinations are in French (Canadian) in these cases, Waze misunderstands. Allowing users to speak the spelling of a destination would avoid getting the wrong destination with the irritating "got it" that means you can't change anything. Also, requiring a spoken "Yes" or "No" to confirm would help.
