Tolls Road
I suggest trying—if possible—to create a specific "report" type for countries that have road tolls (like Bulgaria), such as a "BGTOLL vehicle" category; there are many instances where these are reported as police cars, but in reality, they are just vehicles equipped with cameras to check for vignettes.

Specify you're driving a camping-car in the Vehicle's options
Hello I'm new on Waze and completely unaware beginer. It would be amazing to be able to specify you're driving a camping-car around 3m high, and there might be on your road some bridges, paths you can't take, and Waze would warn you or avoid you to take those roads. . Alarstizi

Add a Skyway On/Off Preference
Add a Skyway On/Off Preference
I would like to suggest adding a Skyway On/Off option in Waze's route preferences.
Currently, there are situations where all available route options use Skyway. While I understand that Skyway is often the fastest route, some drivers intentionally prefer SLEX or other non-Skyway roads, even if the travel time is longer.
The reasons can vary:
To reduce toll expenses.
Personal driving preference.
Familiarity with non-Skyway routes.
Avoiding expressways when not necessary.An optional "Use Skyway" toggle (On/Off) would allow users to choose whether Waze should consider Skyway when calculating routes. When turned Off, Waze could prioritize routes that avoid Skyway whenever a reasonable alternative exists, even if the estimated travel time is longer. When turned On, Waze would continue to recommend the fastest available route, including Skyway.
This feature would give users more control over their navigation experience while still allowing Waze to provide the most efficient route based on each driver's preferences.
I believe this would be a valuable addition for many drivers who prioritize lower travel costs or simply prefer driving via SLEX and other non-Skyway roads over the fastest possible route.

Speed
Hello Waze Team,
Please consider making speed camera alerts always play on Android Auto, even when driving above the speed limit.
In the UK, speed limits can change frequently on smart motorways, and the alert is especially important if a driver has missed a new limit. An audible warning would improve safety and help drivers slow down in time.
Thank you.

Fix repeated talking and wrong talking
Recently, and probably before that, there has been a bug where if you use your voice to direct you on the map, and if I have to turn left or right coming up, it says to turn wayyyy before you need to turn. Another thing (not a bug- it's annoying) is that it keeps saying in 1 mile turn left/right, in 0.5 miles turn left/right, in 0.1 miles turn left/right, at the signal turn left/right. Me and my dad find this annoying.

Report alerts on split screen - Apple CarPlay
I'm using Waze on a daily basis for many years and recently found out, that there are differences between its usability on android auto and apple CarPlay while using Waze on split screen which is very common on modern huge car displays.
While you can report things (traffic yams, dangers, alerts, and so on) when using Waze via split screen on android auto, you can't do that on split screen mode on apple CarPlay.
Please implement this feature in apple CarPlay too!!

Alert both directions of travel for police
Maybe this isn't a new idea and has already been expressed here but I think it would be important for both directions of travel to receive an alert of police no matter which side it was reported on, because often it is sitting in the middle between both directions and other times it's a two-lane highway where the police on the other side could still get you. I believe this could also effectively eliminate the need for reporting a police on the other side and just have a single report police button.

AI-Powered "Wake-Up" Alerts at Bottlenecks & Green Lights to Dissolve Traffic Faster
The Problem:
Traffic jams and traffic lights clear up slowly because of human reaction time. When a light turns green or a bottleneck clears, there is a "domino effect" delay as each driver takes a few seconds to notice and move. This significantly reduces the number of cars that manage to pass through during a green light.The Solution:
Waze can detect the exact point where a bottleneck dissolves or when a traffic light turns green based on real-time data from the leading vehicles.Once this "release point" is identified, Waze should send a subtle, prompt audio/visual alert (like a gentle chime or a "Traffic is moving - stay close!" notification) strictly to the drivers at the front of the queue.
The Impact:
Even if only 50% of the drivers respond to this alert and minimize the gap with the vehicle ahead, it will dramatically speed up the traffic release rate. This crowd-sourced coordination will reduce the overall duration of bottlenecks and maximize the number of cars passing through every green light cycle.Proposed Pilot Program:
To test the effectiveness of this feature, Waze could launch a targeted pilot program at a few notorious intersections or well-known bottleneck locations with chronic traffic. By measuring queue lengths and wait times before and after implementing the alerts at these specific locations, Waze can scientifically prove the improvement in traffic flow before a global rollout.The Problem:

Anti-Rubbernecking Alert: Active voice prompt to prevent "curiosity" traffic jams
The Problem:
One of the main causes of heavy traffic jams on highways is drivers slowing down to look at car accidents ("rubbernecking"), even when the accident is on the shoulder or a completely different lane and does not block the traffic flow. This behavior creates "phantom traffic jams" that waste millions of driving hours and increase the risk of secondary rear-end collisions.The Solution (Feature Request):
Develop a smart, location-based alert system that activates when the following conditions are met:Detection: Waze's algorithm detects a significant slowdown near a reported accident, but also recognizes (via user reports or historical data) that the lane itself is open.
Active Alert: About 2000 meters before reaching the point, the app will play a clear and proactive voice alert (instead of just showing an icon on the map).
📢 Suggested Voice Prompt:
"Traffic ahead is caused by drivers slowing down to look at an accident. Your lane is clear, and emergency services are already on site. Please maintain your speed and keep driving safely."Why this is effective:
Behavioral Shifting: Many drivers slow down subconsciously. A direct, explicit voice alert breaks this autopilot behavior, making them aware that they are contributing to the gridlock.
Improves Traffic Flow: Breaking the chain of slowdowns for even a small percentage of drivers will prevent the domino effect and clear the jam much faster.
Safety: Reducing sudden braking near accident scenes will significantly lower the risk of chain-reaction crashes.

Save preferred routes
I’d love the ability to save my preferred route to frequently visited destinations (such as work, home, or family). Waze often suggests the fastest route, but sometimes I prefer a slightly longer route because it’s easier to drive, has fewer traffic lights, avoids difficult junctions, or is simply more familiar.
It would be great to have a “Preferred Route” option where users can save one or more favourite routes for a destination.

Subject: Feature Request – Vehicle Garage with Individual Preferences
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that I believe would make Waze even more useful for people who drive multiple vehicles.
Feature idea: Vehicle Garage
Please consider adding a Vehicle Garage where users can save between 3 and 5 vehicles to their Waze account. Each vehicle would have its own saved driving preferences and settings.
For example:
One vehicle has a motorway vignette, while another does not.
One vehicle may have different road permissions or restrictions.
Different vehicles may require different routing preferences.
Before starting a trip, the user would simply select the vehicle they are driving, and Waze would automatically load the saved settings for that vehicle. This would eliminate the need to manually change preferences every time the user switches vehicles.
I believe a limit of 3–5 vehicles per account would be sufficient for most users. Many households own multiple cars, motorcycles, or other vehicles, and some family members also share the same Waze account. This feature would improve convenience, save time, and help prevent navigation errors caused by incorrect vehicle settings.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this suggestion. I hope you find it valuable, and I appreciate all the work your team puts into making Waze better.
Kind regards,

Speed camera continuous alert when speeding
It would be great if Waze could play a repeating warning sound whenever the driver exceeds the speed limit while approaching a speed camera. For example, after the initial alert (about 500 m before the camera), if the vehicle enters the camera zone and goes over the speed limit, Waze could emit a rapid "beep-beep-beep" until the speed is reduced or the camera is passed.
This would be especially useful in situations where the initial warning is easy to forget, such as after stopping at a long red light or sitting in traffic. By the time traffic starts moving again, the driver may have forgotten about the speed camera and unintentionally exceed the limit, resulting in a ticket. A real-time audible warning would help drivers stay within the speed limit without having to constantly look at the screen.
