1. Show traffic for FastTrak holders in Bay Area

   Hi, can you show traffic in the Bay Area for those of us using FastTrak? Adding a simple button to acknowledge that we have a FT in our cars means you can let us know if the lanes are open (or not) for FT users and that can make our commute a bit easier.

2. Optimization Proposal for Waze – Integration of Support for Buses and Trucks

   To enhance user experience and expand the app’s target audience, it is recommended to add dedicated support for heavy and public vehicles such as buses and trucks. This feature would include the following components:

   1. Customized Driver Profiles – An option to select the type of vehicle: truck, bus, private car, motorcycle, etc.

   2. Tailored Route Planning – Routes would consider height and weight restrictions, specific traffic signs (e.g., "No entry for trucks"), and restricted access zones.

   3. Integration of Dedicated Lanes – For buses: display of bus-only lanes (such as BRT or HOV lanes) and incorporate their availability into route planning.

   4. Customized Alerts – Warnings for low bridges, height barriers, restricted zones, dedicated parking for large vehicles, and more.

   Adding this functionality would improve the usability of the app for heavy vehicle and public transport drivers, support safer and more efficient trip planning, and help reduce traffic violations due to unsuitable routing.

3. crucial alerts should be more informative and different from normal ones

   Please inform user about Vignette condition and effect on the routes (in Switzerland)!

   I am an avid fan and frequent user of waze. literally anywhere and anytime I am planning a route I use waze, and I always suggest and inform people about its benefits. But Yesterday we had a very bad experience using it.
   Our trip was from Vaduz to Grindelwald (Switzerland)
   Waze always alarms about C- Zones, Toll roads at the beginning of choosing the route, ... and it did the same about vignette but the confusing thing is that it did not say that we have to select our type of pass from the list to avoid narrow and minor roads.
   My assumption was that it is just an informative alarm like always, so as we already had our vignette pass we ignored it. but now am sure that the assumption of the app was that we do not have it so it should provide us with alternative routes. Which was much longer, minor roads and also country lanes( which barely 2 motorbikes could pass each other), extremely hazardous, especially in rain and fog condition, which very much endangered our lives. The level of stress we experience was very unnecessary as from yesterday till now we are dealing with the fear and we cannot enjoy the holiday we planned and paid for.

4. Can we please have a way to flag roads as traffic calmed?

   Waze repeatedly tries to direct me onto roads that have traffic calming humps, which wears out my suspension & throws my tracking out. I'd like for there to be a way to flag up roads as traffic calmed in the map editor and for there to be an option "Avoid traffic calming". People with SUVs can carry on driving over the humps but folks like myself who like a stiffened, lowered suspension would be very thankful to avoid the almost off-road experience these measures create.

5. Map

   It is too hard to see the traffic delays, speed of the tragic on particular roads, what kind of hazard is being reported. The map before this was very user friendly and it was super easy to glance at the map and decide which areas/roads to avoid. Now I have to really analyze the map and bring the map into zoom so much that the road names are no longer listed. I now check the other apps to glance over the traffic and rely less on Waze

6. Some report suggestions, vehicle options, route options for the Waze Team

   Just some ideas please address:

   • the thanks and not there options for apple car play to not automatically disappear until 2 miles approx. distance passed(or provide an option for the user to change that delay) beyond the reported icon there is some delay in when they appear

   • A new icon for the flooding hazard, as well as blueing a path to show on gps and gps to warn or detour upon suddenly appearing at some point in calculating route before after during etc

   • Allowing users start/ end of long traffic icon , include system detection for drivers driving really slow prompt them the option to answer why?
   * if user reports hard traffic jam for waze for that person only to receive a recalculated route
   **continuously recalculated as more waze users use that option

   • Allow users who pass through lengthened traffic/flood/ accident/construction/etc. to confirm completion with a button OR drag a line upon pressing a start point with a color reflecting the respective hazard/ system to detect the completion via speed on highways/streets doing same highlight work without user input but done automatically

   • A new vehicle type for trucks and another for commercial vehicles (not all commercial vehicles are trucks and some ppl fear being near them otherwise I would say just trucks)

   • options to
   avoid turnpikes - some ppl have a preference
   avoid parkways - nyc does nt allow commercial travel through here
   avoid bridges - fear of heights
   avoid tunnels - claustrophobia, fear of tight spaces

   Please change freeways or add avoid highways as not all highways are freeways the language is confusing.

7. Ability to block users/private messages from certain users

   You should be able to block certain users or, if this already possible, it should be made obvious how to do so.

   I am repeatedly getting private messages from the same non-friend user. I can't reply to the messages or see who this person is, yet he is somehow repeatedly finding me. It does not make me feel secure and I shouldn't have to turn off private messaging entirely just to avoid one weirdo.

   (Also, make turning off private messaging actually work because I got another one from him today somehow, even though I turned them off.)

8. Commuting route changes

   I would very much like to have a mode that knows my usual daily commuting route and doesnt give turn by turn directions for this but starts announcing if something unuasal is up today, "waking me up" before I drive into the biggest traffic jam ever and gives me directions to avoid this then but only then.

9. Safety and crime based routes and reporting

   Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.

   This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.

   In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like those for avoiding tolls or highways—that allows users to automatically avoid high-risk areas when planning a route. This would give users more control over their journey and increase trust in the app’s routing, particularly in developing markets where safety concerns are a daily reality.

   By helping users avoid dangerous routes through crowdsourced safety data, Waze can position itself as a truly adaptive and user-focused navigation tool.

10. EZ Pass- Make it a Standard 1st or 2nd Option

    Today, during heavy rainfall the EZ Pass lanes were empty and considerably safer. That route was not one of the 3 offered to me. Even if it's out of the way, I'd like to have the option.

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

12. Give warning when routing through ferries

    Hi,

    Currently Waze gives you a warning when routing through toll roads, but not when routing through ferries where the majority are also paid. It would be nice that Waze also then gives a warning when routing with ferries.

    Thanks

15. Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation with 3D illustrations

    Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation
    The current Waze display on the BMW X1's 8-inch screen utilizes the full space but lacks critical lane-level detail, especially during complex maneuvers. Implementing enhanced 3D illustrations for specific challenging road features would significantly improve driver clarity and safety.

    1. Complex Interchanges and Lane Guidance For junctions where a simple directional arrow is insufficient, a dynamic 3D view is needed to guide drivers into the correct lane well in advance.

    Motorway Splits and Exits:

    Need: Show complex motorway splits (e.g., merging onto two separate dual carriageway A-roads) and exits.

    Proposed Feature: Display a 3D-rendered sign and road environment that clearly highlights the correct exit and required lane. This should appear several hundred meters before the split, with a countdown timer or distance marker.

    Sequential Close Junctions:

    Need: Guidance for immediate, sequential turns (e.g., turn right at the first light, then an immediate left at the second).

    Proposed Feature: The 3D view should highlight the recommended lane for the first maneuver and then transition to highlight the required lane for the second maneuver as the driver approaches the second set of traffic lights.

    1. Multi-Lane Roundabouts (Including Double Roundabouts) Navigating multi-lane or double roundabouts requires clear, pre-emptive lane instruction.

    Proposed Feature: Display an aerial 3D illustration of the entire roundabout. This view must show all entry lanes and highlight the exact lane the driver needs to enter the roundabout in, ensuring they are positioned correctly to take their designated exit. This instruction must be given sufficiently in advance of the approach.

    1. Motorway Exit Continuation Often, the most challenging part of a motorway journey is not the exit itself, but knowing which lane to be in immediately after the exit to prepare for the next turn or merge.

    Proposed Feature: Upon exiting the motorway, display a transitional 3D view showing the layout of the receiving road. This illustration should:

    Clearly indicate the total number of lanes on the new road.

    Highlight the specific lane the driver should move into (or remain in) to facilitate the very next step in the navigation (e.g., preparing for an upcoming slip road, merge, or turn).

16. Lane display in AA/CarPlay

    Hello,

    I suggest changing the lane display on Waze in CarPlay/Android Auto. The display is too small although there is the possibility of having a larger display without losing the basic instructions.
