Lost Pet Section
How many times has your heart gone out to a dog lost at an intersection? What if you could help reunite the owner with two clicks of a button?
With Waze Lost Pet section, it is that easy.
Adding to the possible list categories, an option for Lost Pets would allow users to prevent accidents, reunite owners with missing pets, and even impact their local shelters by relieving some of the burden of overpopulation.
Waze is ideal for such concepts due to it's updates in real time and photo capable posting system. Such a concept would mean the difference between "just missed him" and "just found him", even allowing Wazer's to arrange a reunion between owner and pet all through this very app. The potential impact nationwide is immense, and would improve quality of life by reducing exploding dog populations quickly and efficiently and safely.How many times has your heart gone out to a dog lost at an intersection?

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

import addresses
While I have an Android phone, I think that this may be of general usage.
I'd like to see an import/export capability, perhaps to Dropbox, etc.
I have had to reinstall Waze, and I lost my addresses, so it would have been nice to be able to simply import the book back. Also, my wife and I have many addresses in common, so it would have been nice to not have to enter them both.

טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה
הבעיה:
הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"
⏳ "המתן עוד 90 שניות – נתיב עקיפה מתקרב"
למה זה חשוב?
• מחקרים בפסיכולוגיה ובתחום התחבורה מראים שכאשר אנשים לא יודעים מתי תגיע ההזדמנות הבאה לפעולה (למשל, לעקיפה), תחושת חוסר השליטה גוברת – וזה מעלה את הסיכון לפעולות אימפולסיביות ולא זהירות.
• בנוסף, נמצא שברגע שאדם יודע כמה זמן נותר להמתין – קל לו יותר להתאפק. עיקרון זה מיושם בהצלחה בתחבורה ציבורית (לוחות זמנים בזמן אמת) וברמזורים עם ספירה לאחור, ומשפר משמעותית את רמת הסבלנות והשליטה העצמית של המשתמשים.
השורה התחתונה:
פיצ'ר פשוט. השפעה עצומה.
בכביש שבו עשרות בני אדם נהרגו – כל שיפור קטן בהתנהגות הנהגים יכול להציל חיים.בברכה,

Countdown to Safe Overtaking on Highway 90 (Arava Road)
The Problem:
The section between Arava Junction and Ketura Junction on Highway 90, approximately 120 km long, is considered one of the most dangerous stretches of road in Israel. Most of the road is a single lane in each direction, without safe overtaking options – leading to pressure, aggressive driving, and daily life-threatening situations.
Between 2000 and 2020, 81 people were killed on the Arava section of Highway 90, many of them in accidents caused by dangerous overtaking where no safe passing zones were available.
A Life-Saving Feature Suggestion:
Waze could add a smart alert – a timer on the side of the screen or a visual/audio notification – that informs drivers about the next upcoming safe overtaking section:
🕒 "In 2.4 km – Two-lane road ahead for safe overtaking"
⏳ "Wait 90 seconds – Safe passing zone approaching"
Why it matters:
• Studies in psychology and transportation show that when people lack visibility or control, especially on monotonous roads with no clear overtaking options, their frustration and risk-taking behavior increase.
• Research also shows that when drivers know how long they need to wait, patience rises, and impulsiveness drops. This principle is successfully used in countdown timers at crosswalks, traffic lights, and public transit – and could be just as effective in driving apps.
Bottom line:
A small feature. A massive impact.
On a road where dozens have lost their lives – even a small shift in driver behavior could save lives.הבעיה:

Allow decimal points in House Numbers
Alphabetic characters and slashes are now allowed in House Numbers, which is a huge step forward. Unfortunately, decimal points are still not allowed. This is a problem in Puerto Rico where rural addresses are often based on kilometer posts. A rural address in Puerto Rico might look like "km 17.1 Calle Marginal". Allowing decimal points would be very helpful. Other areas might benefit from other special characters being allowed.

Parking spaces available in car parks in real time
Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.
It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.
Morover many cities with real time feed have digital screen to show availables parkings, but then, should we follow Waze, or the city's directions ? With the same datas, Waze keep the wheel.On the Google forum, speakers from Brazil, the Netherlands and France asked the same question. We have an api with a json feed updated by the minute.
Also Strasbourg, Luxembourg, etc…
So Waze could use historic form datas and foreseen avaibilities. And in real time guide cars to the best parking lot with some kind of prediction, putting aside full or almost full ones.

Talmudic Measurements
In addition to the imperial and metric systems of measurement currently available on the Waze app, would it be possible to add another system, which the voice instructions would use? I’m thinking of the Talmudic system of measurement (tefakh, amah, ris, mil, parsah). Many in Israel would be interested in utilizing these measurements because it would be a practical application of a currently abstract system.

routes for caravans
Please create a category for those towing a caravan so that inappropriate routes are not offered.
I would rather travel further on a good road than be guided onto a narrow, winding, steep or unsafe surface when towing my caravan.
The risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle travelling at high speed on a windy dirt road is very high when visibility is limited and there is no room to manoeuvre20 votes -
Destination confirmation
. Destination always shown on map, may be on top of or in estimated time of arrival box, as a confirmation that correct destination has been entered? (Reason - sometimes Waze gives directions when driving that I personally would not have selected).
20 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

State line
When crossing into a different state it would be nice to receive an audible alert and/or a pop up notification that you have crossed into a new state like Google maps does. When on a long road trip sometimes we don’t know what state we have crossed into and it would be helpful to get notified.

Boat trailer option
Please add an option for towing a trailer. I'll be towing a 23' boat from DC to ME in August. Generally this can only go on interstates and roads without height restrictions. I know from past drives that Waze will try to take us on the Merritt or Taconic parkways where trailers are not allowed and clearance is low

Avoid part of route.
Please add an option to avoid a part of a route that you don't like. For example, if you like the route that Waze choose for you, but there is just one road you don't want to use, put the option to click on that road and have Waze route you around that road. Also add an option to avoid a road block. So if you come up to a road block, just click that button and it will route you around it. Otherwise, this APP is the best GPS I've seen.

Radares moviles
Buenas tardes, en Montevideo Uruguay hace algunos años atrás se a empezado a usar mucho radares móviles en la ciudad y ahora también en las rutas, mi sugerencia seria poder reportar radares móviles que los cambian todos los días o cada varios días de lugar. Desde ya muchas gracias

Wind gusts icon
I'd suggest to add into climatic alerts group an icon to be used to inform Wazers that there a risk due to wind gusts.
I guess there is a significant number of users (such as truck, light commercial, bus and caravan drivers) that may be interested to this potential risk and would appreciate if Wazers would turn on a specific alert.
What do you think about it?

An option to avoid minor / tertiary/ un named roads
Can we please have an option for routing not using minor roads. These are often narrow, unsurfaced, roads, dangerous tootor cyclists, risking damage to cars and larger vehicles. GPS nav should assist, not cause undue stress.

Motocicli 50cc e 125cc
In Italia esiste il problema che sulle tangenziali non si può circolare con una cilindrata inferiore ai 150cc, quindi chi utilizza un 125cc oppure un 50cc e serve utilizzare waze sarebbe bello come opzione evitare le tangenziali. Grazie
In Italy there is the problem that on the ring roads it is not possible to circulate with a displacement of less than 150cc, so those who use a 125cc or a 50cc and need to use waze would be nice as an option to avoid the ring roads. Thank you
