Lack of Context in Rerouting: Security Risks and User Autonomy
The current Waze algorithm often reroutes users on long-distance trips without providing the underlying reason (e.g., specific accidents, road closures, or incremental traffic). While this "silent optimization" might work for short urban commutes, it represents a significant strategic failure for long-haul navigation for the following reasons:
Safety vs. Efficiency: By prioritizing the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) above all else, the app frequently diverts drivers from well-monitored, high-infrastructure highways to poorly maintained or dangerous secondary roads to save a negligible amount of time. Without knowing why the route was changed, the driver cannot assess if the time-saving is worth the…2 votes -

Improve motorcycle mode and route suggestions
It’s great that Waze has a dedicated motorcycle mode. However it does not feel like a dedicated mode. We get the same road suggestions as with a car. A motorcycle can move fast through smaller roads and not be stuck in traffic. If I choose avoid motorways, I may miss a part that would be better done there. Moreover, proposals and ETA are impacted by lane splitting. But this does not always work or is allowed, so it should not be taken on board. And on the interface side, you still need to push buttons - there is not great…

Button Layout
This isn’t a new feature, but a slight change to an existing feature. When I am driving and I get alerts for a vehicle on the side of the road or police ahead I get two long horizontal buttons to report if it’s still there or not. I believe these buttons would be easier for drivers to touch if they were side-by-side as they would be more square and still utilizing the same screen real estate. Many times, I press the wrong one because the horizontal buttons are too narrow.

I need a good Female English (Ireland) voice. Male voice? How about Ethan Peck, who plays Spock on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?

Speedometer Alarm Customization
Hi, the main reason I found and installed Waze was to help manage my speed on long trips. As others have mentioned in the past, the alarm is somewhat subtle and short, which reduces its effectiveness. I would encourage you to add several styles of alarm for someone to choose from, and/or an option to keep the alarm on or beeping until under the desired speed threshold. I'm envisioning something like a seatbelt alarm, because those are very effective!
Thanks for your consideration!

Road closure zoom UI interface
Reporting road closure should cause the app to zoom in slightly when roads overlap or are bunched together; there's less distraction and more precision. Leading on from that, there should be a mode to allow multiple inputs without getting locked out when reporting closed roads along a route. I got lost one early morning around 3AM and those features would've been a massive help.

Product Gap
Limiting routes to only one stop is a major usability gap—most navigation apps support multiple stops, and this is a basic expectation, especially for Android Auto users.
Also, the inability to edit destinations after adding a stop and the lack of address visibility for saved contacts are functional limitations, not feature requests.
This impacts real-world usage like errands, deliveries, or multi-stop trips. It reduces Waze’s practicality compared to competitors.
Please confirm if these are actively being worked on or planned. Redirecting to the suggestion box doesn’t resolve the current usability problems.

Arrival Times
Waze does not seem to take traffic Jams into account when posting arrival times. Sitting in traffic it just adds minutes to your arrival rather than adding a jam to the arrival time.

multicolor traject controlled side bar
The side bar appearing when you are in a speed controlled zone (traject control) is always green. If the average speed of this zone is 70 can the app constantly calculate your speed and keep the bar green when you are in this average speed but turn yellow when you reach 70 and red when you cross the average speed (71-up) so you know you need to slow down to stay on the average speed, or you have room to speed up a little when you had to stop for any reason without overspeeding the average speed.

When I click on police icons on map, the popup stating time reported should be larger so I can easily see it on my phone. It’s so tiny now.

Map issue
I would like to report that there is a problem in my map view, the name of the street I am on is displayed in the bottom of the map, right where I should see the navigation icon, and it is making difficult to navigate, I tried to desactivate this in the configuration but I did not found this setting. It would be best if the street name be displayed in the top of the map.

Please find a way without adjusting my phone, android, to increase the font on the turn directions in the black box in the top left corner.
Make the street names that appear right below the car icon larger in addition to the turn-by-turn directions in the black box in the top left corner. Also if I'm going somewhere and I want to search for a new location it shouldn't come up with no results it should ask if I want to cancel the current route and

מניעת שכחת ילד ברכב
פיצ'ר "מצב ילד" - מניעה אקטיבית של שכחת ילדים (ללא מטרת רווח)
הצורך: התזכורת הנוכחית היא פסיבית וגורמת ל"עיוורון התראות".
הפתרון:
1. בתחילת נסיעה: הוספת מתג מהיר "יש ילד ברכב?" (יופיע חכם לפי שעות הגן/בית ספר).
2. בסיום נסיעה: האפליקציה תדרוש פעולה פיזית (אישור בסליידר) כדי לוודא שהרכב נסרק, ולא תסתפק בהודעה שנעלמת.
3. רשת ביטחון: התראה קולנית חריגה אם הנהג התרחק מהרכב מבלי שביצע את האישור.השורה התחתונה: הופכים את Waze מצופה מהצד לשותפה אקטיבית בהצלת חיים, באפס עלות חומרה למשתמש.

Inaccurate “Public transportation” Ticket Alerts for motorcycle-only routes
In Taiwan, many segments and turns (which aren’t public transportation lanes) are restricted to motorcycles only (24/7). However, the system currently assumes they are public transportation lanes by design and shows this pop-up.
As a result, when navigating through these routes, the app mistakenly shows a ‘Ticket Alert’ with a ‘Public transportation vehicles only’ warning. This causes a lot of confusion for users.
To improve the user experience, I suggest displaying a specific ‘Motorcycles Only’ warning when approaching routes restricted to motorcycles.
This would act as a great reminder for users who might have accidentally set their vehicle type to…

Option to remove quick access on sound/mute from map display
Please give us the option to remove quick access sound button from the map display. I prefer a clean map without all the unnecessary button on the display. The settings button is fine, should be allowed to remove everything else on the display. I never use sound navigation, it is a distraction otherwise.
