Enable spontaneous driving communities with waze
I am very fascinated from waze and see a big future for it, also for extended purposes, e.g. car pooling or spontaneous driving communities in the future, maybe with a system of points for inviting people in my car or commuting in the cars of other people after a waze-communicated invitation. Such a new feature would be a worldwide unique innovation with the potential to revolutionize the mobility habits of the society and to preserve the world-wide resources of fossil energy sources.

Waze PLEASE HELP. My Apple iOS Significant locations glitched and got erased. I need my location history for 08/18/2022 to exonerate me.
I was pulled over because a vehicle “matched my description” at a Shell Gas station that I was never at on 08/18/2022 (see Frazier V. Cupp or Supreme Court V. Cupp; LE can basically lie to try and incriminate you for evidence that never existed). Then when I tried to use significant locations to pull up where I was on that date it didn’t have the “summary records” anymore. I blew a 0.00 BAC and had ZERO contraband in my vehicle. I did not break any traffic laws either (i.e. swerving, speeding, etc.).

Buenos días. Mi nombre es José María y deseo hacer un comentario sobre las actualizaciones. ¿Por qué cada vez que se actualiza el programa tienen que eliminar opciones para editar en el mapa? Para mí, sobre todo, es muy útil e importante el poder indicar al momento los cambios de límite de velocidad de la carretera. Hace tiempo que se podía hacer directamente mientras se conducía. Ahora es cada vez más difícil. Además, poder indicar que hay un vehículo en la vía, ó un tramo cortado también es importante y útil. Por favor, espero que vuelvan a hacer posible el…

Gas price update blocked
Could the gas price report function be improved, especially in these times with inflation.
I am experiencing being "blocked" for updating gas prices, because Waze finds the new price unrealistic.
In most cases this is due to the previously gas price was reported several days/months even years ago.
E.g. was at at gas station where last update was 937 days ago, and since new price was double the previously amount the update was blocked.But I have also been to the situation where last price was only a week old, but since the gas price had dropped 15% since then…

Road Surface Hazard (Partial or Full Road Flagging)
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest enhancing the hazard reporting feature by allowing users to flag either a portion or an entire road as having poor surface conditions (e.g., full of potholes or severe degradation), instead of reporting only individual potholes.
In many areas, road damage is not limited to a single spot but affects continuous segments or even the whole road. Reporting individual potholes in these situations does not accurately reflect the overall driving experience and may underestimate the level of discomfort or risk.
By enabling users to mark a partial segment or the entire road as…

Add a gate/restricted option for gated communities/parks/highways and time of travel restrictions
There are some roads that you can only travel on if you have permission, such as a private road that requires a gate code or key. There are other public roads that are only passable at certain times of the year (e.g. Hwy 120 in Yosemite due to snow conditions).
That private road may still be open to the general public during certain hours of the day. As well that public road may only be open during certain seasons. As well someone else pointed out that certain roads have turns restricted based on time of the day.
It seems like…

This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

Temporary Route Avoidance Settings (Per-Trip Only Option)
Suggestion:
I’d like to suggest adding the ability to apply route avoidance settings (such as avoiding highways, tolls, or ferries) for a single trip only, rather than changing global navigation preferences.
Currently, when a user enables options like “avoid highways,” the setting remains active for all future routes until it is manually turned off. This can lead to confusion or unintended routing on subsequent trips if the user forgets to revert the setting.
A more flexible approach would be to allow users to select avoidance options specifically for the current trip during route setup. Once the trip is complete, the…

Unable to Submit Reports When Toast Messages (e.g. Tollbooth, Speed Bump) Appear
I’ve noticed an issue when trying to submit a report while driving near certain map elements such as tollbooths or speed bumps. When the short “toast” messages like “Tollbooth ahead” or “Speed bump” appear, they overlap the Submit button on the report screen. This makes the button temporarily inaccessible, preventing me from submitting the report until the toast message disappears.
It would be great if the UI could adjust to prevent this overlap — for example, by repositioning the toast message or allowing the report submission button to remain accessible at all times.

Potential Mobile Speed Trap Location Alert
There are many locations where Police Camera vans stay. These are often the same location, and often around bends so its too late once they see you. You should add to the map, just like with speed cameras, potential mobile speed trap. This would allow everyone to be alert at all times, then if the vans are there, Wazers can further report Police just as usual. This would prevent speeding earlier on rather than when someone finally reports the presence of police. For example, this could be done by adding a new icon e.g. a van symbol, with an audio…

Add support for government emergency alerts (cell broadcast integration) to notify drivers entering affected areas
As a Waze volunteer editor, I’d like to suggest integrating a feature that uses official cell broadcast emergency alerts sent by governments or national agencies (such as AMBER Alerts, severe weather warnings, or public safety alerts).
The idea is simple: when a Waze user drives into an area where a cell broadcast alert was recently sent, the app could display a notification or short message about it — even if that driver didn’t originally receive the alert on their phone because they were outside the area at the time.
This feature could be extremely valuable in real-life situations, such as:…

“See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”
Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to…2 votes -
