  1. Delete the Stop point and continue navigating to final destination

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the intermediate point on the route after adding it.

    This feature is very much needed.

  2. Show border line on map

    Since the corona virus crossing borders in Europe isn't that easy as before. So it would be nice if I could see the border line clearly on the map. A thick red line for example (like google maps) or something similar would be neat.

    It also makes things easier to navigatie if you know whether you entering a different country when planning your route. In Europe, this sometimes could be the case.

  3. Alert while not in navigation

    It would be great that Waze can alert you even if you are not enter the route so if you just launch the app and start driving.
    You won’t enter destination and selecting route if you’re driving to work every day but you still can get the ticket for speeding..

  4. Avoid express lanes

    It would be nice to be able to turn off Express Lanes, with the same toggle switch as the "Avoid Toll Roads" option. I almost never have passengers in my car, and therefore cannot ever take the Express Lanes, but the app keeps directing me to them. Express Lanes also occasionally have different exiting options, so it can sometimes change your entire route and make you miss exits you needed to take.

  5. unsafe streets

    It would be very helpful to know if you are entering to a dangerous area meaning like a ghetto or some place where is dangerous to be driving at certain time or know that you can get assaulted by knowing this you can change route to a safer one.
    Sometimes you get into streets that are very dangerous for saving some minutes on your route.
    Being able to report dangerous areas would be great and safer for driving.
    I know a lot of people talking about this on the city as an issue of waze.
    Not knowing where you…

  6. L'indicateur de vitesse maximale autorisée est trop petit sur Android.

    L'indicateur de vitesse maximale autorisée est trop petit sur Android.
    Parfois on ne distingue pas bien le 70 du 80. Notre regard est en priorité orienté vers la route, regarder un smartphone doit être bref et efficace.

  7. Add option to "stop re-routing" once travel has begun, unless I deviate from it.

    If you are like me, and like to review your route and prepare for it, especially in an unfamiliar place, sudden route changes that can save you 5 minutes can cause more trouble than it's worth. Let's add an option to "lock route" once you chose it and start driving, and don't recommend a quicker one unless I deviate from the preset route. This keeps you more comfortable on the route you have prepared for, so you don't have to worry about sudden changes in unfamiliar territory.

  8. Put the avoid freeways option on the route page. Stop hiding it.

    Avoid Freeways option needs to be moved to the routes page. Make it as easy for us to change as the avoid tolls is.

    Right now you have it buried and it takes a few clicks to get to it. And we all know that Waze does not give alternative routes UNLESS Avoid Freeways is turn off.

  9. Show traffic and reports not only on routes in the recommended route selection screen

    When Waze displays available routes, it only shows traffic and warnings along the routes, not near the routes themselves. It would be helpful if it showed traffic and warnings at least near the recommended routes so I could understand why it's sending me down one road rather than another, like Google Maps.

  10. HOV only ramps and roads

    When Wazers select an HOV route, because of the way HOV was implemented, any direct access ramp or otherwise HOV only road will never be suggested.

    Waze needs to be able to suggest all HOV options, including HOV only flyovers and ramps.

  11. Histórico de tempo real de viagem

    Olá
    Sugiro uma melhoria ao aplicativo: poderia ser possível visualizar o tempo das últimas viagens (histórico) em relação ao estimado pelo aplicativo (origem, destino, percurso utilizado, tempo gasto, tempo previsto) para que o usuário possa avaliar o seu tempo real de percurso
    Obrigado
    Marcelo

    Hi
    I suggest an improvement for the app: it would be possible to check the real time of the routes done compared to the estimated time from the app (origin, target, route used, time done, time predicted) for the user evaluate the real time of the route.
    Thanks
    Marcelo

  13. calculate the remaining time within the tutors' route

    I live in Italy and we have tutors on the highways who calculate the average speed
    via cameras that mark the entry and exit times of cars within a stretch of road. It would be incredible to integrate a function that indicates how much longer you have to stay within this zone to avoid the fine, an idea would be to use the formula:
    Time in minutes = (distance/speed)*60

    by doing this you could have a timer which, if respected, would avoid the fine

    (furthermore, an indicator could also be integrated that tells you at what speed you must continue…

  14. Improved Automatic Re-Routing for Traffic Congestion in Waze

    We would like to propose an enhancement to Waze's automatic re-routing feature to provide users with greater control and flexibility when navigating around traffic congestion.

    Currently, Waze offers basic re-routing, but it lacks the ability to:

    Prioritize surface streets or alternate highways/freeways: This would be particularly valuable for users who prefer avoiding congested highways altogether, even if it means a slightly longer route.

    Define granular re-routing preferences: A binary on/off toggle is limiting. We propose options similar to existing route preferences (fastest/shortest) that allow users to:

    Set time windows for re-routing: For example, automatically re-route during known rush…

  15. Turn on the lights alert.

    In Brazil, even during the day it's mandatory to turn on the car lights when we drive in a route (highway).

    It would be very helpful there was an alert reminding us to do it each time we start driving on a highway.

    (No Brasil, mesmo durante o dia é obrigatório ligar os faróis ao dirigir numa estrada.
    Seria muito útil se houvesse um aviso lembrando de fazer isso cada vez em que começamos a dirigir numa rodovia.

  16. Apple CarPlay show upcoming notifications

    It would be very helpful if you could see the upcoming notifications on your route in the Apple CarPlay mode (like you can in the app when pressing the bar at the bottom). Now I use the app besides the CarPlay mode where the notifications on the route are shown, but these don’t update while you are driving and thus don’t solve the issue

  17. Allow closure reports when its not on your route in Android Auto. Even when I drive right by I can't report it if I'm not supposed to turn.

    Unfortunately, we are no longer able to report a road closure using the closure option in the Android Auto version of Waze unless the closure falls on our route path. I thought you'd like to know. For example, I drove past a road closed sign, but since the route directions did not tell me to turn right on that road, I couldn't use the closure option anymore. I had to report it as a general map issue. This is the second time I've had to do so. So, not only does this make it more difficult to use...... while driving…

  18. Maximum speed change with roadworks

    Please make it possible when reporting roadworks also the new maximum speed.

    When there are roadworks it can change the route if the maximum speed is slower.

  19. Close the Segment user is currently on

    In Rural areas the users may encounter a situation where the road may be closed due to a problem like a downed tree or other issues. In order for Waze to re-route it needs to know that the road is closed and there is no way to report a closure of the current segment that they are on. App only allows reporting of the closure from the nearest intersection in the direction of travel, which will fail to re-route.

  20. Routes designated for horse lorries

    It would be great if you had a designated section for routes for horse lorries or any lorries. The if this section is selected it navigates suitable routes/roads for these types of vehicles!
