Make mobile speed camera alerts bi-directional on divided highways / 4-lane roads
Hello Waze Team and Community,
I would like to suggest an improvement to how mobile speed camera alerts work on divided highways and 4-lane roads.
Currently, when a user reports a mobile speed camera, Waze only alerts drivers traveling in the same direction as the reporter. However, police tactics have evolved. In Estonia (and many other countries), traffic police now frequently park on one side of a 4-lane highway but set up their mobile cameras to measure the speed of cars moving away from them on the opposite side of the road, or capturing traffic in both directions across the median.
Because divided highways are mapped as two separate one-way segments in Waze, drivers who are actually approaching the radar beam receive no warning if the camera was reported by someone driving in the opposite direction.
Proposed Solution:
Please add an option for mobile speed camera reports to be marked as "Both Directions" or automatically trigger a radius alert for both sides of divided highways when a mobile camera is active, similar to how major hazard alerts can sometimes be visible to nearby traffic. This would keep the community safer and more accurately reflect modern traffic enforcement methods.

On the Waze incident reports feature it should allow us better options to report things such as traffic, police, road closures and much more as currently on the road closure reporting feature it only limits the roads and streets that wazers have been using lately and also it doesn’t all ow you to update or chat with other waze people that are on the app. everyday there are new roads and traffic incidents being genrated and the waze should allow and post all incidents that are updated on a daily basis instead of the app not getting updated with newer features of road reports in the persons traffic reportings it says thank you for helping wazers around you but it does’nt post what people are reporting from their account and it doesn’t update the locations that the reports have been made from in the wazer’s account.

Add an "Emergency Vehicle" routing profile for first responders
Please add a dedicated navigation profile for emergency vehicles (ambulances, fire trucks) in Italy and Europe. First responders need routing that takes into account that they can legally drive through restricted camera-enforced areas (ZTL) and bus lanes during a call. Waze currently forces emergency drivers to use hacks like the 'taxi' profile, but a proper first responder mode is urgently needed to optimize rescue times.

Multiple volume presets for different audio outputs
It would be great if I could preset guidance volume for separate audio devices. I only need 50% guidance volume with CarPlay, but when I use my Cardo helmet coms on my motorbike I need the volume to be maximum so that I can hear the guidance.

support turn-by-turn navigation instructions in the BMW Head-Up Display (HUD)
Hi Waze Team,
Is there any roadmap or estimated release date for Waze to support turn-by-turn navigation instructions in the BMW Head-Up Display (HUD) via Apple CarPlay, as Google Maps and Apple Maps already do?
Currently, Waze navigation directions can be displayed in the digital instrument cluster, but not in the HUD, even on vehicles that support this functionality through CarPlay with other navigation apps.
This would be a valuable improvement, allowing drivers to see navigation instructions directly on the windshield without taking their eyes off the road.
Is this feature under development? Is there an estimated release date or any plan to support it in the near future?
Thanks!

Audio navigation alert assist
Considering that many modern vehicles already use spatial audio or directional sound to assist drivers, I would like to suggest an enhancement to the Waze navigation experience.
Today, several parking assistance systems and 360-degree camera solutions use directional audio cues, allowing drivers to intuitively identify the location of nearby obstacles. For example, an obstacle located at the rear-left side of the vehicle generates a sound that is perceived more strongly from that direction, while an obstacle at the front-right side is emphasized accordingly.
Building on this concept, Waze could apply directional audio to navigation instructions. When approaching a right turn, the navigation prompt and voice guidance could be emphasized through the right side of the vehicle's audio system. Likewise, left-turn instructions could be highlighted through the left side.
This approach could make navigation more intuitive, reduce driver cognitive load, and create a more natural and immersive user experience, especially in vehicles equipped with surround sound systems or spatial audio capabilities.

I am a police traffic officer, I would like to share my map location to Wazers where I am active driving in emergency mode or blocked roads.
When my in-car lights and siren is activated I can create a signal output, which would be able to turn on live GPS information so Wazers can see which direction I am going, if I'm in their way, and let them know if they might be in my direction. This way, Wazers can slow or choose a different direction if say a road is blocked due to a crash, or if it would help them move out of traffic so that they do not get hit by drivers that are not paying attention.

Bring-back the "share my drive" option.
You used to offer the option to watch someone's "share my drive" but have recently (in the last 30 days) decided to block this feature on the PC browser side of things. Now it just stupidly acts like I should "install on other mobile devices" option instead of an actual "share my drive" option like we used to be able to view. Please bring it back!

Dedicated report option for Incident Response & non-police emergency vehicles
In New South Wales, Transport Management Centre (TMC) incident response vehicles are frequently reported as “Police” on motorways like the M1 and M4 simply because of their flashing lights.
While it is valuable for drivers to know there is an incident response unit or roadside service ahead, misreporting them dilutes the utility of the “Police” alert, which should ideally be reserved for law enforcement (such as Highway Patrol).
Having a dedicated report category—such as “Incident Response / Service Vehicle” or a broader “Emergency Vehicle (Non-Police)” option under Roadside Hazards—would:
- Keep “Police” alerts accurate and focused on active enforcement.
- Give drivers situational awareness of roadside operations (TMC, breakdown recovery, fire/SES) without creating false speed traps.
- Improve overall report data quality across the network.

Output roundabout turn angle as metadata
My car has a heads-up display that will show an icon representing the next action in he turn-by-turn directions. One of the key ways this breaks when using Waze compared to Google Maps is when the turn is a roundabout. Waze's roundabout icon is a little vortex with a number in that tells you which # turn (counterclockwise) you need to take to follow the route, and it appears that it only outputs that information as metadata to Android Auto or the vehicle to be interpreted by systems like HUD. This results in my HUD always showing a hairpin right turn out of the roundabout, rather than one that reflects the route, and means I can't temporarily switch off the nav screen to adjust Spotify (for example) if there are roundabouts ahead and rely on my HUD.
This issue is not happening with Google Maps because Google Maps outputs metadata for the exit angle of the turn for roundabouts, so a 90° value would show a right turn, 180° would be a through-path, 270° a left turn, and so on. This exit angle data is what my Mercedes HUD uses to draw the roundabout icon.
I would love to be using Waze instead of Maps, but unfortunately every time I see this behavior it really bugs me.

Suggestion: Allow Users to Report Temporary Road and Bridge Closures via the Waze Website
I'm getting quite frustrated with Waze, as multiple times during my commute from work to home, it has directed me towards bridges or roads that are closed due to construction work.
I think Waze should introduce an interactive map on its desktop website that allows users to easily report temporary road closures, bridge closures, roadworks, and other blockages.
Some features I'd like to see include:
- Report closures from a PC: Allow users to select a road or bridge directly on the map and report a temporary closure.
- Bridges as selectable locations: Make bridges identifiable on the map so users can report when a specific bridge is closed.
- Temporary construction zones: Allow users to mark areas where roadworks are taking place, including the affected roads.
- Upload photographic evidence: Let users upload a photo of a road closure sign showing the dates and times of the closure.
- Manually enter closure times: Allow users to specify when a closure starts and ends, including recurring closures (e.g. overnight roadworks between 8 PM and 6 AM).
- Community verification: Allow other Waze users to confirm whether a reported closure is still in place.
- Better route planning: Ensure reported closures are considered when Waze calculates routes, preventing drivers from being directed towards roads that are known to be closed.
I understand that Waze relies heavily on community reports, but not everyone can safely report a closure while driving. Having the option to report closures from a computer after completing a journey would make it much easier to keep the map accurate.
The main goal is simple: if a road or bridge is closed, Waze should know about it before directing drivers towards it.
I believe these features would significantly improve the experience for commuters and help prevent unnecessary diversions, wasted fuel, and frustration.
