Show temporary speed limits in construction zones
Temporary Speed Limits for Roadworks & Construction Zones
This suggestion aims to enhance road safety and improve the accuracy of Waze navigation by implementing a feature that displays temporary speed limits in real-time. These are the limits indicated by the yellow or orange signs on portable stands often found in road repair and construction zones.
Currently, Waze primarily relies on static, permanent speed limits for a given road segment. However, in areas with ongoing roadworks, the official speed limit is often temporarily reduced to ensure the safety of both drivers and road workers. Without this information being reflected in the app, Waze may still indicate the higher, permanent speed limit, which could lead to confusion and unsafe driving behavior.
How it would work:
Users could report a temporary speed limit change in a manner similar to reporting a road hazard or other alerts. A new category could be added to the reporting menu, such as "Temporary Speed Limit". The user would then be prompted to select the new, temporary speed limit and the length of the road segment affected.
Benefits of this feature:
• Increased Road Safety: By alerting drivers to lower speed limits in construction zones, Waze would help prevent accidents and protect the lives of both drivers and road workers. This is the primary and most critical benefit of this feature.
• Improved Navigation Accuracy: The app would provide more precise and up-to-date guidance, ensuring that the displayed speed limit matches the real-world conditions.
• Enhanced Community Participation: This feature would empower Waze users to contribute valuable, dynamic data, making the app even more responsive and community-driven. It would foster a sense of shared responsibility for road safety.
• Seamless User Experience: The implementation could be simple and intuitive. Once reported, the temporary speed limit would be displayed on the map, similar to how other reports (e.g., traffic jams, road closures) are shown. The system could be designed so that these temporary reports automatically expire after a certain period (e.g., 24-48 hours) to ensure the information remains current.
In summary, adding the ability to report and display temporary speed limits is a logical and crucial next step in making Waze the most comprehensive and safety-oriented navigation app. It addresses a real-world issue that affects millions of drivers daily and aligns perfectly with Waze's mission to outsmart traffic together. This feature would not only make navigation more accurate but, more importantly, would make our roads safer for everyone.Temporary Speed Limits for Roadworks & Construction Zones

Tamil Language Support
I strongly request that Tamil be fully supported in this app – not just the script and keyboard, but also including the Tamil numeral system. Tamil is one of the oldest living languages in the world, spoken by over 80 million people, with a continuous and incredibly rich cultural history. It is extremely disappointing, that Tamil is still left out.
This feels not just incomplete, but also hurtful to many users. If other languages are given proper support, why not Tamil? This is not a “nice to have” feature – it is a necessity. Millions of Tamil speakers worldwide deserve this support, and we expect a global app in the 21st century to respect and reflect such linguistic diversity.
Please take this request seriously, kindly and implement full Tamil support – including the numeral system – as possible. Anything less will remain a glaring gap that the community will no longer overlook.

Notify nearby drivers of safety alerts such as headlights
I notice cars driving in the dark with day time running lights on. Their cars don’t automatically turn on their headlights and taillights but do turn on their dash lights. It would be nice to send them an alert and even instructions (especially if they are in a rental) to turn on their lights. It must be scary for them to drive with basic no headlights and it’s scary for me to see people drive without taillights. There can be other safety alerts such as the gas door open/ cap hanging. This would be an opt in thing to help young and non-car enthusiasts get help from the Waze community.

Ability to Mark Playground zones
Hello, I would like to see the ability to mark the start and finish of playground zones, very similar to marking school zones. Some playground zones are marked with times and others are marked from sunset to sundown which can pose a local problem depending but in general can still be marked using seasonal general times.

Pause Other Audio, not lower volume
I've seen claims there's a feature to pause spoken audio or other things when alerts come through - but I do not see that feature in settings. While the lowered volume when alerts come in isn't a problem for music, it is not ideal for listening to podcasts or long form video/audio essays, which is often what I am playing.
It lowers the volume of what is playing and then speaks over it, making it difficult for me to make out the alert it is giving anyway. I just started using this app in the past few days but this is the consistently biggest gripe for me, in an otherwise pretty great app so far.

Street names hide important information
The name of the streets hides the visual information of the map in intersections or roundabout. This is a problem, not a suggestion. The voices information is important but the visual indications are important too. May be a check button to enable or disable that information about the name of the streets could be the solution. thanks.

Improper hazard alerts for vehicles parked on road shoulders
In the city where I live, some roads have shoulders on one or both sides. We know that these areas are not traffic lanes, but are intended for vehicles to stop or park temporarily. However, every day, no matter which route I take, I keep receiving the alert “hazard reported – vehicle stopped.” I can see that people are reporting this incorrectly, since a vehicle stopped on the shoulder is not a hazard. This alert should only appear when a vehicle is stopped on the actual lane, truly obstructing the way. Therefore, I believe this warning should only exist for cars blocking the road, or it should be split into two categories: vehicle stopped on the road and vehicle stopped on the shoulder. It is frustrating for users to keep receiving hazard alerts and being forced to take extra caution when there is only a car parked in a safe place.

Recurring travel times/ locations
Have a way to quickly make recurring trips so that we don’t have to separately make plans for trips that happen frequently. E.g. work - Mon-Thurs arriving by 7am. School - Mon-Fri arrive by 3pm ect. This way we will get alerts for variations on current traffic conditions and adjust accordingly.

Fix your search
Search engine for waze is really bad.
If you type in "Go Electric" wont get hits for "Go-Electric".
Also if you prepend prepositions in spanish language, often results are not found.For example if you type in "marisqueria el diez", it wont match "restaurante bar y marisqueria el diez". Why wouldnt it match? makes no sense

Displaying the sections where the speed of travel from point A to point B is recorded by the cameras of the Toll system for vignettes.
Hello Bulgaria, but not only Bulgaria. Since the beginning of September 2025, the toll system that monitors purchased vignettes has started measuring average speed in certain sections of the road network.
Unfortunately, these road sections are not marked on the road itself, and drivers have no way of knowing that they are entering these sections.
The state, represented by the Road Agency and the Toll System, published a list and map on their website showing where these sections are located, and that was the end of the information on this change.
It is clear that the state is doing this to increase revenue from fines, not to prevent speeding and manage road traffic intelligently.My suggestion is to put these road sections with cameras on Waze so that drivers are informed when they pass through them.

Make text clearer
In android auto, smaller text on the map is barely readable due to it not having anti aliasing and the text isnt even aligned correctly, so every letter has a 1-2 pixel height difference, and the text is also jittery.
Please, fix this. In google maps, it renders really well even on lower resolution displays.2 votes -
Save vehicles
Sometimes I ride my motorbike, sometimes I drive my car. Both have different properties. The car uses diesel, and have highway vignette. With bike, I don’t go on highways, and it uses petrol 95. It would be nice to have an option when I open Waze, that it asks me “which vehicle are you using?”. Then I can choose my car or bike, and it loads in their previously saved properties, so i don’t have to change them one-by-one every time I change my vehicles. I believe I’m not the one who uses different types of vehicles, so it would be a huge help.

Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts Description: Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll
Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts
Description:
Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll booths, sharp curves, forks, merging, complex intersections) under one setting. This means users can only turn them all on or off.
Many drivers would like finer control. For example, speed bump alerts are often unnecessary or distracting, while alerts for toll booths or sharp curves are very useful.
Please allow users to selectively enable or disable each type of permanent road feature alert. This customization would improve the driving experience without losing important safety information.2 votes -
Caminhao
Boa tarde.
Sou motorista de caminhão e use rotineiramente o app Waze. Porém muitas vezes me vejo em situações difíceis porque o aplicativo me manda para rotas onde e proibido o tráfego de caminhões ou em vias difíceis de transitar com esse tipo de veículo. Algumas vezes o aplicativo me tira da rodovia para transitar por dentro da cidade.
Então venho até vocês (Desenvolvedores) sugerir que seja colocado nas configurações do app o ícone de caminhão e que tbm tenha rotas para transitar fora dos grandes centros evitando rotatórias pequenas e ruas estreitas em bairros.
Obrigado.2 votes
