Add Support for Mopeds, Bicycles & Moped Speed Checks (Known as Rollerbanks)
I suggest adding support for mopeds and bicycles as selectable vehicle types in Waze, allowing users to receive more accurate routes tailored to bike lanes and moped-accessible roads. Additionally, introducing a report option for roadside speed checks specific to mopeds (commonly known as "rollerbanks" in some regions) would greatly benefit two-wheeler users by improving route awareness and promoting fair, transparent traffic monitoring.

Stop hiding the direction when displaying an alert
When displaying an alert, it's very inconvenient and dangerous to suddenly have the directions hidden by the notification especially on the interchange.
I randomly chick on not there anymore just to choose the right. At that moment I need clear instructions and both hands on the wheels !2 votes -
Button to constantly beep if I'm always over the speed limit. Button in same speed zone to beep when over then under and over again.
You have it set up so that I can press a button and have a sound happen if I go over the speed limit by whatever miles per hour I like which I like. The problem is once I go over that speed limit range in that zone (Zone = same street without a speed limit change). If I go under and then go back over it, it does not beep again. So I don't know if I'm going over the speed limit. Can you please put a request for improvement and put more buttons there that will make it…

Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route.
Suggest Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route. (currently: waze does not read or very rarely reads warnings when there is a change in speed limit)

Adapt routes and ETA to the choice of a user's max speed
More and more of us, for economic or ecological reasons, or simply because our vehicle does not allow us to, self-limit and not drive at more than 100 km/h or 90 km/h, even on the highway.
It would be good if when searching for a route, we could define a Max speed for the vehicle and that the calculation of the different routes takes this into account.
A route on a road limited to 100 km/h, usually abandoned in favor of a route using a highway limited to 130 km/h could even become faster as soon as the driver decides…4 votes -
Alert popup windows disable feature
In android auto the alert popup windows cover vital informations (time to reach destination, lanes to pick on the upcoming crossroad). Recently, the amount of these popup alerts increased so, that they are there almost all the time. There is the option to disable alerts completely, but the alerts are what separates waze from other navigation apps, so not really a good option.
My sugestion is to include the option to disable just the popup windows while leaving the voice notification for the alerts on.
Thank you.

Put speed on top of dropdown box as it obscures it completly, even worse is police ahead pops up again over top of speed reading. NO GOOD!
Put speed over dropdown boxes as it obscures it completly, even worse is police ahead pops up again over top of speed reading. NO GOOD! Also take icons out of little circles so they appear bigger and clearer.

police alert when they take pictures from a bridge
In my country we have police officers standing on bridges and take photos of ppl on their phones while driving.
An option to report and alert other drivers will make the driver stop being on their phone faster.2 votes -
Suggestion to improve accuracy of speed camera reports
I would like to share a suggestion regarding the reporting of speed cameras in the Waze app.
Recently, I have noticed an increasing number of false speed camera reports along certain routes (for example, on the B469 near Aschaffenburg, Germany). In some cases, users appear to report multiple cameras along an entire stretch of road where none are present. This can be confusing for drivers and may reduce trust in the reliability of the reporting system.
To address this, I would like to propose a potential improvement: introducing a system that evaluates the accuracy of user reports over time. For…

enlarge the size of the speed display on android devices, and change the colours to improve contrast
I find the speed hard to read on my android when mounted to the handlebars on my bike. If the speed was larger, and with better contrast, especially the red on black, that would help a lot

Allow Quick Alert Preference Changes
Allow context-aware/destination-based or in-dash audio profile switching (Normal vs. Alerts-only) on Android Auto/CarPlay.
The recent interface change removed quick audio profile toggles (Normal, Less chatty, Only alerts, Off) from the main map screen and restricted menu depth on Android Auto/CarPlay.:
This creates a major safety and usability paradox: drivers cannot change their audio/alert preferences via voice command, nor can they access these settings on the car dashboard while connected. To switch from full turn-by-turn navigation to "Only alerts" for a routine commute, a user is forced to completely disconnect their phone and fiddle with the mobile…

when there is a speed camera, flash the screen to make them more visible. with only current information, it is hardly visible.

AI Pothole & Speed Bump Detection via Phone Sensors (Waze for Cities)
I submitted this exact concept to Google a long time ago, but no action was taken. I am bringing it here today because Waze is the perfect platform to finally make this happen.Waze should implement passive, background telemetry analysis using the smartphone's built-in accelerometer and gyroscope. An AI algorithm can easily recognize the distinct physical patterns of hitting a pothole or crossing a speed bump. To eliminate false positives, the system would require data aggregation: if multiple users register the same vertical impact at the exact same GPS coordinates, the map should automatically generate a hazard annotation.Once these hazards are…

Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS
An important factor during a car trip is the "Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS".
During a car trip, the MPS changes constantly:
1) from 70 to 50, then to 90, suddenly to 30, then again to 70, 30, 70, 100, 90, 120, etc.
2) The MPS aren't always the same type of traffic signs.
I've noticed that I sometimes miss a traffic sign, and WAZE alerts me, for example, with an audible signal (thanks for that!).
My gaze automatically shifts to my smartphone, which actually distracts me from what's happening or could happen on the road!
That's why I'd…1 vote -
SpeedCameras (max speed, time to flash on SpeedCamera, SpeedCamera notify without destination)
Max Speed on the SpeedCamera:
- Where you show the Max Speed we need to go, maybe you can show we can go higher than the max speed as there is no speed camera.Time to Flash on Speed Camera:
- It shows close to accurate of how far the speedcamera can see you, maybe an outline of a red circle if your in that small circle don’t pass your max speed.
- Maybe show lets say the road is max 20 you can go max 22 or 23 and you won’t be flashed.

Speed limit icon too small and it would be better on the left-hand side of the screen
