Navigation- " NO PKWY "
The term "PKWY" APPLIES TO ONLY PKWAYS WHICH AS AN OPTION TO AVOID WOULD BE HELPFUL.

Suggestion on reporting police traps.
Many people incorrectly report police traps when on a major highway and there is a substantial divide between north and south lanes (woods or grass). An example is I am heading south and see a police vehicle hidden in the woods looking at northbound traffic. I have now way to select other side and hidden together. So people select hidden but it shows up to southbound traffic when in fact it should warn northbound traffic.
A few more choices/selections/modifiers in all categories would help pin dow types and location of issues.
I would love to be part of a Beta…3 votes -
Map and routes improvement
The waze map in the middle is very busy it shows the turning whit white and you cannot see it as road names and other wazers avatar is on the map...I would suggest to pop road names towards the side of the map...and another idea is to input car make/model and you give is routes to avoid widht/height restrictions....very useful in London

"We have a shorter way" - Option available "Okay"
I intentionally choose NO TOLLS when I travel. It is less expensive and usually a more scenic route. I have been having trouble that the We have a shorter way pops up and I don't want to choose Okay because I already have the route I want so I ignore thinking that must default to keep as I'm going.
Seems it does it anyway because all of a sudden I'm on toll roads. I think you should have a yes or no option.
I also found out then when you choose a route (perhaps no toll as an example;…

High occupancy lane
Waze prompts drivers to leave a high occupancy car lane. The app should ask if you have more than 1 person in the car.

Blocked Lane achievement points for reports and likes
The Blocked Lane report is a terrific addition to reports. However, Waze users do not get any credit in Achievements for seen or likes as they do on other reports. This disincentivizes users from using the feature. I hope Waze will allow users to collect points for reporting a blocked lane as they do on all other reports.

Add Hazard for Vehicles Stopped in the Lane
I have a feature suggestion that could improve road safety and the accuracy of hazard reporting. Currently, Waze allows users to report vehicles stopped on the shoulder, but there is no option to report vehicles stopped directly in the driving lane.
Such situations pose a significant danger to other drivers, especially at night or in poor visibility conditions. Adding a hazard category specifically for "Vehicle stopped in lane" would help alert drivers more effectively and enhance safety for everyone on the road.

Change Dangerous Direction Given by Waze
Near Brandon Florida a direction is given to take Dali Drive to reach Bloomingdale Avenue. If directions are followed and one is turning left, one is forced to cross 4 lanes with very poor visibility! If the app instead directed one to drive just 1 block further instead, the left turn can be made safely with the traffic signal.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

make alerts omnidirectional
Alert users to incidents on both sides of the road when there is no divider on the road. On two lane highways voice alerts for police and accidents are directional. Meaning it only alerts you to reports that were made in the direction you are traveling. It should alert you to all reports on the road regardless of which direction you’re heading. Helpful for police and accidents when they could affect both lanes.

Your new app is BAD. THE “plan a drive” is buried, there still isn’t an easy way to add a stop. I’ve quit using Waze as my regular map.
Make the app ACCURATE, and easy to use, plan a drive, change starting location, correct lanes to be in.- NO, I can’t “ stay in the HOV lane” , and exit the freeway at the same time!
I can’t be in the leftmost turn lane, and exit right to the freeway!
I’d like it to be easy to use-change start location, add a stop, maybe even help me route a drive- which stop in which order ( start and stop location, with 2-3 stops on the way)1 vote -
Object on road warning often delayed resulting in warning too late to be effective
The timing of object on road needs to be changed for better pinpointing location. More often than not, you are reporting while you are right on top of the situation. Traffic maybe darting around it, and do not have the benefit of seeing it early like vehicles on the side of the road because it's obscured by other vehicles in travel lanes. This causes the reported location to be late and less accurate to its actual location. This results limited effectiveness of a very important tool.

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

Road number 90, Israel
Dear waze technicalsupport,
I would like to report some kind of a bug.
Yesturday my friendsdrove from the dead sea to the north of Israel (krayot).
Waze was directing them through road number 90.
In the middle of the way, they got into a very dengerous place, inside the palestinian authority with no way to pass, but going inside it.
At the end, they even went through a barrier.
They even checked the options, and did marked "avoid high risk areas".Please try and check it.

please revive waze carpool. gas too expensive!
It's now May 2026 and gas hovering $7 per gallon and no more EV privileges on HOV lanes. Please reactivate waze carpool so we can fill them empty cars going down 880 everyday. This is a national emergency and Waze should step to respond. Please you can do it because you have done it before. Save the air, save time, save our lives.

New setting
Please make a setting so that I can choose to reroute only if it saves 10 or 15 minutes or more. I drive in the city and I think it' can be dangerous (suddenly needing to change lanes to turn, for example), and definitely distracting when it re-routes every 5 seconds. It's not that important to save 2 minutes unless you are an ambulance!

Expand the Construction Warning
Expand the "Construction" tab to include multiple options to accurately warn drivers. For example:
- Flag Person
- Temporary Signal
- Left/Right/Center Lane Closed
- Lane Shift/Detour
- Pavement Ends
The biggest one for me is the lane closures, because I want to know which lane is blocked/closed ahead before I get to the situation. Just marking "construction" offers me no insight and just keeps me on high alert.

a short notice (late notice) to change a lane
Over the years that I've been using Waze, I've encountered a disturbing and annoying problem of short notice (late notice) to change a lane in order to turn. in this situation I'm forced to rudely push into the required lane or give up the turn and go back and try again

Location Correction/Change/Adjustment
It would be very nice to have the ability to correct or change the road we are driving on. If at any point we deviate from a GPS route (exit the highway early or late, enter an HOV lane, get or stay on an express road), we need to have the ability to adjust our location on the map so the route can update.
How to achieve this:
I'm thinking we could select our vehicle on the map (currently, this pulls up our "current location"), then - select an option to "adjust route" (call it whatever you want), this would…2 votes
