Stop the limits
When I tried to report potholes (there were a lot of them), in order to report accurate information to the Public Works department, so they could fix it the issue.
When is this going to be updated, so that anyone can report as many potholes as there are in reality?
It would be nice to be able to have direct contact to Public Works departments as well, so they could know about the issue. The report should stay on the map for everyone to know, until the problem is actually solved (pothole filled up to quality standard specification).2 votes -
Stop HOV Notifications
WAZE will always default to HOV. It is not always the most efficient and best option, especially during non-rush hour, when the option to lane change makes more sense. It adds unnecessary and distracting instructions to driving. I have made lane changes because WAZE is telling me to get off of an HOV that I was never on. This option is clearly state centric for California and does not make sense countrywide.

Stop telling me where not to turn
In a recent update someone added the asinine feature that tells me where I should not turn as I cross every intersection, in 100 m don't turn just go straight you dumb idiot.. I don't get it my great aunt used to tell me the name of any every intersection I would cross when she tried to explain how to get somewhere instead of just telling me to drive straight up a particular road! It's asinine it's extraneous it's not helpful and it's annoying! There's no way to turn off this stupid feature and I'm stuck having ways tell me…

Never change my NON-TOLL route to a TOLL ROUTE without my explicit permission
We are on an extended road trip. We EXPLICITLY told Waze to avoid TOLLS. As you are driving along, Waze will pop up and suggest going the toll route because it will be faster, albeit, more expensive. If you don't happen to see the pop up and don't select "No Thanks", Waze WILL SWITCH IT AUTOMATICALLY to the TOLL ROUTE. If there's another setting to stop that, I haven't discovered it yet. You SHOULD NEVER EVER change my route just because it's faster without my explicit permission to do so.

Optional "Why this destination" so user can add brief voice note that plays when arriving
This should by for optional use and provide the user the option to voice record a brief 30 sec to 1 minute message for why they are traveling to a destination. Examples: Sales rep visiting a location could set s voice prompt that plays upon arrival with their message playback like: who the receptionist is, where they were recommended to park, who they will be meeting with etc..., Example 2: Taking kids to a birthday party message could be left to remind driver of the parents' names, special instructions or reminders. Example 3: running a number of stops and being…

Select what hazards to hear
Allow the user to select what notifications to hear. I don’t care about stopped cars but I do about objects on the road or police.
Most notifications are for stopped cars and I honestly have turned off all notifications and just hope I see relevant info on the map.
Needs to work with CarPlay etc as well.

More direct routes for emergency response services and fire hydrant locations.
Hi, I propose you look into a toggle option for navigation for emergency services organizations that completely ignores traffic regulations, stop signs traffic lights etc..
Emergency services need to take the fastest route while ignoring speed limits, traffic lights & signs.
It would be very helpful to have a navigation that made more direct routes that completely disregard these things and give you the absolute fastest route.
Also, it would be awesome if there could also be a toggle option to show fire hydrant icons / locations for firefighters.4 votes -
Allow comments to be added to police reports (as it was before)
This use to be a standard feature. It should be added again. Stopped police vehicles tend to slow down traffic and actually create accidents. It is important to relay what is happening in the report (e.g. vehicular accident, speed trap, stopped car on shoulder, etc.) so as to help other Waze users navigate accordingly and to help protect other motorists.

Minimum Up Time of Cop Notifications
Just encountered this today, November 26, 2024, in South Carolina on I95 going South.
Cops are able to remove themselves from the map within three minutes of posting since they can create multiple accounts.
Since anyone is allowed to remove or say that the cop is “not there,” a new report should have a minimum uptime of 30 minutes after the initial report to let votes rack up confirming the cop is there.
Being deleted after I report it after 3 minutes is insane and prevents the whole purpose of this app.
Let’s do better. Let’s be better.

Feed back Thank you for the speed limit!!
My biggest issue with Waze vs other GPS devices/apps was the lack of speed limit. Thank you for finally adding it!! Way to go Waze. Great app, saved me from tickets and getting stuck in traffic in multiple occasions.

Default Icons for Common Selections on main selection screen instead of going through menu selections
Allow users to create defaults for commonly used selections.
Example, when car is located on a route on the side of the road, you have to select hazard -> on shoulder -> vehicle stopped.
Would be nice to have the button vehicle stopped on main screen as it is one of the most common selections I choose.

Add to Favorites More Simple
On iPhone when swiping left on a location in history it gives you “Options”. It’d be great to add a simple add to favorites from that menu vs having to do multiple steps just to add the location to favorites.
