Why can we no longer use waze on 2 devices simultaneously
Wished Waze had made that info about this change ( ie being unable to use waze simultaneously on 2 devices) available to users upfront. That’s a big change & I wasted a lot of time on a very long drive to try & get waze to work the way I’ve come to expect.
I have waze open on two devices ( iPhone & iPad) that have different cellular carriers, whenever I go on longer drives (2 hrs or more) since waze’s network connections are always spotty. This has been my work around & provides continuous coverage & also allows…5 votes -
Add quick text to road reports
Typing while driving is dangerous. However, don't you often want to add more information to a road report? Do you go ahead and type that message illegally or do you simply submit something that you know is an incomplete, ambiguous report. What if you had the option to choose from a list of common stock text modifiers to help with your reporting? What if it was possible to edit these to your specifications?
29 votesYou can use voice typing for comments in a report.

Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event
Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.
Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze failed…

Road Colouring on Average Speed Check Zone
When driving in an average speed check zone, Waze doesn’t say when you have left it - so can be driving for miles past the end.
Can Waze change the colour or pattern of the road to show drivers when they are in the zone and not just passing the cameras.15 votes -

Horse-riding
It would be great if you could mark yourself as a slow-moving hazard for other Wazers to be alerted to on their screens as they drive.
Imagine you are riding a horse on a narrow country lane. Considerate drivers slow right down when passing riders on horseback to avoid spooking the horses.
If you could declare yourself a rider on horseback, and had your phone with you then other Waze users could be alerted to your presence well before rounding the very last corner and needing to brake suddenly.
This could reduce accidents between horses and cars.

Ability to add obstructions offline
Wish there was a way to add (eg, road closures) offline - currently it seems the only way to do it is to actually drive there until the triangle button appears on the screen. Trying to warn everyone as a closed road is currently showing as roadworks/closed lane.

A way to report Gas Stations or EV Stations that are out of service or out of gas
Normally during storms, people will stock up on gasoline and stores may run out of gas to sell. Having a feature that allows users to report when gas stations are out of gas or EV stations are out of service on the Waze app would be incredibly useful for drivers. Not only would it save time and frustration by allowing drivers to avoid gas stations that are out of service, but it could also help promote safer driving practices. For instance, if a driver is low on gas and there are no nearby gas stations with available…

Police report improvement
Hello! I have an idea to improve police report, because it is one of most important part. Please put the quick police button (one-click report) on the main screen, when are "my place" button and NORTH-place. This button also may be hidden as others. In practise - one click on screen, buttons appears and click police. It will be less dangerous to report while driving. Thank you in advance.

record a certain path and use later.
I use almost every day the same path to work, but it does not appear in waze because it is a combination of various paths. it was very useful to be able to record my way and know the transit of it before starting to drive.

Need improving favorite / search
I have idea about favorite / search
- Why not let Waze search address from my contact list?
- Why not create folder in favorite? Like Friend, Company, Restaurant, etc.
- When click address on contact, link to Waze instead iPhone's map
That would be great!

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

switch between car (diesel) and/or motorbike (gas+ztl) to compare times and costs
I use WAZE to drive either my car and my motorbike. Car is diesel, motorbike is gas: But I cannot save more than one vehicle. Moreover, motorbikes have usually no restriction in accessing central areas. That means I can "say" to have several LTZ permits whenever I use motorbike, but I must remember to delete all of them, as they aren't valid when I'm using the car.

Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant
Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant on Samsung S22 phone. For example, if I have a friend named Jim and enter his address as a saved place in waze and name it "Jim". Then shouldn't I be able to open waze and say: "Ok google, drive to Jim". When I do that now, google assistant responds with "Sorry I don't understand". Isn't that a pretty basic functionality? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.
