Lane Arrows
The colors of the arrows indicating which lane to stay in should have a more distinct difference in color. It's very hard to tell the difference at first glance. Maybe making the arrows that indicate which lane to stay in a bright yellow, would be more helpful.

Android Auto
Bisher gute Umsetzung,
Leider fehlt mir nach der Verbindung mit Android Auto viele Funktionen (nur ein Beispiel, Anzeige Geschwindigkeit / erlaubte Geschwindigkeit)
Eine Fahrspurassistent wäre auch sehr gut.aber was mich besonders nervt das er nach Trennung von Android Auto weiterhin navigieren möchte obwohl bereits am Ziel angekommen, toll wäre es wenn man von Android Auto trennt das auch waze beendet wird!
Integration von Google Verkehrsdaten !
Macht weiter so!

Highway and street name voice alerts
Waze should announce highway and street names like it used to. Busy traffic and directions like strait, right and left can be hard to navigate with heavy traffic and confusing areas.
EG stay right on hwy 35 south or turn right on commerce street.
Strait can be deceiving and confusing when both lanes go strait but they veer off after you pass your exit.2 votes -
Improvement of Road Safety in Colombia
To improve the safety of drivers on the road, especially in Colombia, one should:
-Create a voice notification that suggests slowing down due to dangerous potholes on the road.
- Allow users to "paint" potholes in the road with a color that allows other users to realize their exact position. In the same way, they are allowed to "erase" the potholes that are being repaired.
- Allow the previous download of the route with notifications about potholes to avoid accidents due to loss of connectivity.3 votes -
Incorrect Route
Please stop directing people off Highway 80 Eastbound onto Chiles (frontage) Road and other surface roads at Davis CA. Highway 80 necks down from 5 lanes at UC Davis to 3 lanes across the Yolo Causeway. People are not getting onto the causeway any faster because of your direction. What is happening is that entire neighborhoods are blocked in. Emergency vehicles have no access as the surface roads are backed up to Highway 113 and even further. People are "parked" in intersections, blocking them. When Davis Legacy Soccer is holding a tournament off Chiles, people are blocked into the soccer…

Waze Rider - No option to split tolls?
Was doing a research project on Waze Rider. For starters see a few evident loopholes, which could use some improvements.
- Why are the Tolls not being divided between the Rider and the Driver?
- that leads to my other observation, in the NYC metro area crossing from NJ-NYC is predominantly via the downtown Holland and Midtown Lincoln tunnels and uptown GW bridge. Tolls for riders in a car are $16; this significantly drops if you have 3 or more passengers. Location based fare calculation would be more beneficial.2 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Reminder about roll transponders
We share an EZ pass between two cars, and sometimes have forgotten to switch it to the car we will drive on a route that has tolls. When we input a destination that requires tolls, how about if Waze were to ask “Do you gave your toll transponder with you?” It would be awesome. I bet this feature would be helpful to many people. Thank you.

Snow removal equipment
I was in Maryland during the recent blizzard. I was able to make the return drive to Pittsburgh on Monday. The roads where clear, however road crews were doing snow removal on the shoulders, left and right. I found during my drive the crews were often on turns and had I had no warning to be able to change lanes for safe distance.
That's when I thought of a SNOW PLOW notification. It would include a left or right choice and on road or shoulder choice. Moving or stationary would be a choice too, but might be a bit much…

It would be amazing to have traffic conditions and route details based on the HOV lane. Thanks!
HOV Lane button would be amazing! I would love to know the traffic conditions based on using the HOV lane. Thanks!
2 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Vehicle selection
Hello, I use Waze every day, sometimes by car but most often by motorcycle. I was wondering if, when entering a route, there could be an option to choose the type of vehicle. This would avoid having to go into the settings every time.

High Accident Area Allert
When about to enter an intersection where there have been many fatalities/accidents Waze could alert you to use extra caution. Today, my son and I saw an accident that is an area I went through and I remember thinking..."Oh my goodness, what in the world!?!" It was a strange intersection. I think drivers can be warned either by a voice warning to use extra caution or by a color that shows that area to be susceptible to accidents. His truck was upside down and the top crushed in. We hope he's okay. The idea to me is not to avoid…

adding the possibility of reporting nearby
Often I want to report something that I see a bit far from where I am by the time I turn on waze, it would be really useful to be able to report in places different from where one is (maybe adding a maximum radius to avoid scam)
PS sending feedback from mobile is quite laborious, if you care to make it easier it would be nice

Home & Work separated settings
1st world problem here. I’d like an option that for my normal routes, like my saved “home” & “work”, to have different settings. I live in a toll infested area, when I drive to work everyday, I don’t want to take the tolls, but my other driving, I might. I’d like to be able to set up my routine drive to avoid tolls, but regular driving to have the option. I have to go in and switch the toggle back to “ON” for Tolls depending upon my drive. I think you should bring this up at the…

Collaborative Routing
Waze works like the most other Navigation Apps. You can choose between 1 and 3 different fixed routes, that sometimes slightly change when there is a lot of traffic ahead. The problem is, that Waze works like a broadcast as far as I know.
So when Route 1 have heavy traffic, all other users get Route 2 to avoid traffic. The problem here is, that new heavy traffic will be created to avoid the first.
All cars following the same alternative route.
Instead of rely on fixed routes, each user should get a personal routing suggestion l, each Route little…

Public or private events
Please add the option to set a public event (with proof of its occurrence) to allow people to avoid routes that may be congested because of the event such as a farmers market. This would help a lot of people as the traffic option usually doesn’t last too long meanwhile events can last the entire day, blocking roads or decreasing lane sizes, forcing a merge.

The ability to make certain areas a 'black list' or 'no go' zone that will be avoided by the routing algorithm.
Sometime the routes are through areas on roads that are either dangerous or just needs to be avoided. The ability to black list or create certain no-go areas that will be avoided by the routing algorithms at all cost, unless the the final destination is in-side the area. I would rather spend more time travelling than go through these areas.

Driver's Line Assistant
Hello. Please add the Driver's Line Assistant to your Waze app. I think it's very important thing, because that's one of things which is missed and what would help driver (user) drive right line. Some countries/cities have like 3 curves left and 2 right on highways. So, this will help to avoid problems after seeing/hearing "Turn left".
2 votesGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!
