Traffic incidents, Speed traps Police Trap
Dear S/M
Im a very keen Waze user, the only suggestion I would like to make is regarding announcements of speed and police traps or other traffic incidents. These according to my driving experience using Waze should be made not only once or little bit earlier but also at least three times (for ex. 1x1000m 2x500m 3x200m) before arriving at the certain point.
Especially the ones reported by the other Waze users, because oftenly for example when I see something to report, it takes other 200-300 meters until I take the phone in my hand and finally push the reporting…7 votes -
Alert Not Disappearing
When an alert pops up it will not disappear like it used to. I need to be able to see the map and sometimes I don't have availability to say whether something is there or not. Please fix this error and make the alerts disappear again after a short period of time so they're not blocking half your screen for the remainder of the drive.

Police Zones
Every time you drive on the highway, there are always spots where cops will hide out. Most people will slow down near no u-turn areas because they know of cops hiding there. When somebody makes a report of a cop in an area multiple times, zones or blue circles should be lightly covered on the map and fade over time. These zones will let users know "hey cops like this area a lot" or "ok cops do camp out over here just not recently". I think zoning is an easy thing to add and it helps people slow down in…

Present Route Options First
I recently was going to drive home, a 30 mile trip. Waze said traffic was bad and it was going to take an hour and twenty minutes. I opened up the route options and was appalled to see Waze was going to take me on a route 52.7 miles (for a 30 mile trip) to save 11 minutes. Drive an extra 22.7 miles?! Cmon Waze, gotta do better than that. Please initiate routes by allowing us to select our route by showing us an overview of our options. Thanks!

Radio Stations
When driving from New York to Los Angeles, you have no idea what the radio stations are along the way, an option to tell you where the classic rock or news talk stations are in Kansas or anywhere along the way would be extremely helpful.

Add U-Turn and other likely police trap locations to highway maps
Add U-Turn and other likely police trap locations to highway maps. This would be especially useful when traveling rural highways late at night. this information is easily available for each interstate, but I don't know how to layer it onto Waze maps as I drive on these roads.

Notifications should definitely come earlier and more times there is no voice warning, and driving and looking at the app to see the warning
Notifications should definitely come earlier and more times there is no voice warning, and driving and looking at the app to see the warning is very risky. There are positions for cameras that no longer exist, but cannot be deleted in the application. Thanks anyway for the effort and the free app.

Customise routes according to specific vehicles
Vehicles such as the Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks cannot drive on all city roads because of their low power and the speed limits imposed (45 km/h).
In Rome, for example, you can't drive on a very important road called the 'Tangenziale', or the motorway. This means that using Waze is not an option, as it often sends you to these roads, which are off-limits to small cars.
It would be better if these small vehicles could have other routes so they don't risk getting fined or worse.8 votes -
Waze protect people on road
Hello my idea could safe people's life and make some extra profit for Waze.
Imagine you are cyclist, runner, wolker or group of cyclist with kids or etc.
You open Waze app choose ''protect mode'' option and select who you are. Then everyone who will driving on the same road will have an alert to slow down because you are ahead.I know that almost every new car has safety systems, but no one can see behind the corner.
Waze can sell and provide these live data to other companies like Volvo, Mercedes, Audi, BMW and they can implement them…

Use a friends live gps signal as destination
You can Share you Destination with a Friend if you connect by Facebook.
But what if you want to see where he stopped, like a gas station or something. or he decides to drive somewhere different.
It would be nice to choose your friend as a destination so when the friends phone updates its location that is the new destination for yourself. This idea needs refining i guess. But basically so you can follow your friend if you drive together, to not lose the other one! or the group!

Add an alert for wildfires in a area and heavy smoke covering the roadway.
This could help unknowing drivers from potentially driving into a dangerous or even life-threatening situation.

An option to show EV charging stations on map
Waze offers an option to indicate EV charging stations in a given area but, in order to access it you need to move out from your map.
It would be great to have the option to show EV charging stations around you while you are driving rather than having to move to a separate page.

Voice Search shouldn't require so many taps to work.
The best driving apps are ones that you don't have to touch very often since that takes concentration away from the road. Waze lets you search via tapping the Microphone button but then still requires multiple taps to complete the request.
Current steps:
1) TAP magnifying glass
2) TAP microphone
3) Say name of place to go
4) Look at the screen to see the list of possible suggestions
5a) TAP the location you want if shown, or
5b) TAP the Search button for more results and then TAP the location you want
6) TAP the Go button
7) TAP…14 votes -
I need Waze to block all iOS popups while running.
I need Waze to block all iOS popups while running. Sometimes a "select wifi" popup blocks my screen while driving. Other times I get SMS/texts blocking the view. I don't want to start fiddling with the mobile while driving so I hope you can block them automatically

arriving with destination on the right for those of us that use the app to navigate with a disabled person on board the vehicle
I use my waze while at work driving disabled people to destinations, the vehicle is equipped with a passenger side lift for those in mobility devices, an option to arrive at the destination with it being on the right side of the vehicle would be both safer and more convenient.

Add a “Like” button for Spotify tracks directly from Waze while driving
When using Spotify through Waze, it would be very useful to have a simple “Like” button for the currently playing song.
If a driver likes a song, they could save it to their Spotify Liked Songs directly from Waze, without having to open the Spotify app.
This would significantly reduce driver distraction and improve road safety, as switching between apps and navigating multiple menus while driving can be unsafe.
I believe this small feature would greatly enhance the Spotify integration and the overall driving experience.

When I am driving I cannot change the music of my phone from the waze application.

Thanks a lot !Bonjour les wazers,
