  1. Hgv lorrys

    I drive a hgv lorry and often satnavs and maps can lead you down a dodgy road with height width restrictions, weight limits. Could Waze have an option for hgv lorrys? Also including speed limits for hgv due to them being different from cars

  2. Variable distance until off-ramp

    When on a 4, 5, or 6 lane highway, traveling at highway speeds in the left lane, in moderate or congested traffic in the left lane, I really need more than 1 mile notice of an offramp. So it'd be nice if either (a) the distance to a turn was related to speed (e.g., at 25 miles an hour, a mile notice is good, but at 65 miles an hour a three mile notice would be better) AND/OR (b) users having the ability to set the distance that they want turn-notices to be announced.

  3. Route Preview Option

    You select a route, then press the "Route Preview" button. Map view will then zoom to your current location and travel down the selected route as if you were driving. The map pans down the route so that you can see all the things you will be dealing with along the way without having to scroll around the map with your finger. Adding a "preview speed (1x, 2x, 3x, etc)" and a "pause preview" option would be a great addition to this.

  4. Urgent hint to improve waze fast and easy and get many new users!

    How? Speed camera alert (warning) is one of the best and attractive reasons to use waze especially for new users, that have already integrated or portable navigation systems. Mobile (!) Speed traps (cameras, but also radar guns etc.) are the traps, users have the most fear of. But most existing users of waze, who wants to report a mobile (!) speed trap mix up the confusing camera icon with the police (officer) icon, especially in the german version, where the camera icon is named "Blitzer" (means: "flash"). They report mobile speed traps (in german also named as blitzer; there is…

  5. Add Victoria, Australia Data APIs

    The Victorian Government In Australia offers a number of Data API's that would be highly useful to have integrated into the Waze App
    https://www.data.vic.gov.au/ which would allow an added depth of information to be added to the map, such as current road speed limit vs actual.
    routing around known road events, such as road works or road closures etc...

    Specifically things like:
    "Road Works and Events Points Snapshot"
    https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/road-works-and-events-points-snapshot

    "Speed Sign Data"
    https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/speed-sign-data

    "Emergency Road Closure Lines Snapshot"

  6. Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays

    Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.

    Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.

    • Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).

    and

    • Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)

    Thank you for your suggestion!
    The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
    However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
    Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram.

  7. maximum one report per X miles

    Hi there,

    Waze is awesome and everyone is using it. Some like me to navigate from Northern Denmark all the way to Romania on holiday others just to find out about speed traps.

    In Romania, Waze caught a lot of media attention so we have a lot of new users, who are obsessed with the points. The new users part is good. We get more reports, more places, we improve on the map problems and we know exactly where the police is :)))

    But then due to the point system, the new users instead of thanking for a reported police…

  8. Hello Waze Team, Thank you for this great app that makes driving easier and safer. I have a small suggestion: sometimes the shortest route

    Hello Waze Team,

    Thank you for this great app that makes driving easier and safer. I have a small suggestion: sometimes the shortest route is not the best option, especially when it goes through narrow streets or roads with bumps that make driving slow.

    It would be very helpful if Waze could show the average speed of each road, so drivers can choose smoother and faster routes even if they are a bit longer.

    I believe this feature would make navigation more accurate and practical for everyone.

    Best regards,

  9. Add low-speed vehicle (LSV) option

    LSV are allowed to drive on road not exceeding 35 mph. It would be useful to navigate only on these roads from point A to B.

  10. Enforcement trailer

    Germany and parts of Europe experience a whole new kind of speed cameras since a year or so, the so-called "enforcement trailers".
    Since two months these are used on the german Autobahn on a regular basis.
    The trailers are moved from place to place and stay there for up to two weeks. The places are used recurrent, e.g. there are 40 places in North Rhine Westfalia and 10 trailers, every place get's a trailer once in a while.

    Marking them as mobile speed camera is useless, since they always disappear because of the low waze usage in germany.
    Marking them…

  11. the option to chose critical overspeeding threshold (in km/miles like 2-5 mph for 70 mph speed limit or use percentage)

    Good idea is to add the option to chose critical overspeeding threshold (in km/miles like 2-5 mph for 70 mph speed limit or use percentage). Flash (with sound) the screen when overspeeding or near of overspeeding occurs. And double/multiply earned points for safe and active drivers :) in dependence of time slot like a rush hour or happy hour or last week :) hope it helps!

  12. End traffic jam automatically

    Have Waze detect when you've been traveling close to the speed limit for a while and mark the point you starting driving faster as the end of the traffic jam.

  13. mapless mode

    how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

  15. Quick report buttons

    It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
    There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
    Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…

  17. Money and points.

    While using Waze i would like to see on aplication display ,in the left side just over the speed limit ,how many point on my licence and money i have to pay if i will brake the speed limit.
    I think it will be interesting for many people to see the "punishment"for breaking the law.
    Thanks.

  18. Police Notification Radius

    When approaching a Police trap, I love the ability to be able to say if they are still there or not. Would like the ability to select if they are there or not for half of a mile or so after passing the original location. In my area, sometimes police will pull someone over, travel up the road a little, and resume their speed monitoring duties.

  19. I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h

    I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h, since the ETA is necessarily calculated with speed max of each roads, with my car on a highway (130km/h) the ETA is wrong, would it be possible to set a maximum speed for my vehicle ?

  20. Always announce cameras on smart motorways

    Smart motorways have variable speed limits - suggest always announcing speed cameras regardless of the speed you are travelling at (motorway speed can vary depending on limit set)
