arriving with destination on the right for those of us that use the app to navigate with a disabled person on board the vehicle
I use my waze while at work driving disabled people to destinations, the vehicle is equipped with a passenger side lift for those in mobility devices, an option to arrive at the destination with it being on the right side of the vehicle would be both safer and more convenient.

Low clearance feature
There should be a feature that allows you to select routes for oversized trucks- tractor trailers keep getting stuck in the sumner tunnel or moving trucks on storrow drive all the time!! This is Boston MA but I’m sure other places could benefit too

An option to show EV charging stations on map
Waze offers an option to indicate EV charging stations in a given area but, in order to access it you need to move out from your map.
It would be great to have the option to show EV charging stations around you while you are driving rather than having to move to a separate page.

Report markers should be marked when the user presses the report button, not the send button.
Whenever I drive on windy freeways, or freeways with frequent blind spots, I don't see reportable items (police, vehicles on shoulder, etc) until the moment I pass them. Given the typical delay of entering the data into Waze, the markers end up being 500 to 1000 plus feet away from the actual item being reported.

Option to turn off toll roads for this drive only
It would be beneficial to have an option to turn off toll roads for this drive only. The alternative is to go into settings and turn off.any times I forget to turn it back on. We live in an area of the country where we tend to use toll roads during certain times of the days. The tolls are very high so during non peak hours would like to use alternate route without toll even if it’s a bit more miles

Having the option to disregard traffic when driving a bike as traffic has no impact on a bike
Dear Team at Waze,
I am a great supporter of your app. Thank you !
Actually I drive my motorbike more than my car and I love using Waze in both cases.
However, I suggest you set a function we can use when driving a bike because, as you may konw, in France, bikes are used to avoid traffic.
Therefore, traffic has no incidence on time and should not have any incidence on the recomended itinerary.Or maybe simply put a button saying « disregard traffic jams »
I can see many bikers in Paris using Waze, I am sure,…

recycling Feature
Dear Waze, I am a sixth grader at Spring Creek Elementary in Dallas, Texas. My robotics team and I are working on our project for the First Lego League City Shaper season. The goal of the project this season is to somehow improve our city. We are acknowledging that the world is having a hard time recycling. Would you help our cause and consider adding a special feature on Waze or Google Maps that shows where recycling bins owned by stores and other buildings that have signed up to have their recycling bin available to the public. Recycling is important since…

Sunglare warning
Every morning, there are so many unnecessary accidents and traffic delays because people don't know how to put on sunglasses in the morning. Having a sunglare warning...and one that tells people to wear their sunglasses...might help...so people don't seemed shocked when they come around a curve and the sun is in their face again. Makes driving to work so frustrating when people seemed shocked every time. Please please please add a Sunglare Weather Hazard soon.

Navigation Option: No notifications for a specified radius from home (Do I need turn directions to get out of my neighborhood?)
Allow a user defined radius where turn by turn instructions are not announce for areas familiar to the driver, i.e. driving out of their neighborhood or the route to the interstate. Allow warnings and alerts to be announced so driver may decide to reroute.

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable support…

BUG: Apple route direction "stack" on phone not updating during drive
When using Apple Carplay, the latest version is NOT updating the text direction "stack" seen on the phone while driving. Previous versions would remove the turns after they've been completed. The only way to get the stack updated is to toggle to road reports then toggle back to the directions on the phone.

Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice…
11 votesThank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. The first issue you raised was resolved a few months ago; however, if you are still experiencing any difficulties, please feel free to contact Waze support here for further assistance. As for your suggestion to make all options available in the mobile version without needing the phone, we truly appreciate it and have shared it with the team for consideration. Additionally, we're happy to inform you that the Heads Up Display (HUD) feature you suggested is now live.

Add upper/lower freeway selector
Waze doesn't always know if you are driving on the upper or lower level of a freeway, but it does know where there are two level freeways. Adding a question like "are you on the upper level, similar to "we detected a slowdown. are you in traffic?", would be very helpful

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

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…20 votes -

Configure highway Navigation way point alerts
Often times when driving in the highway waze does not provide a way point alert until we are very close to the waypoint. On the highway having some more advance notice (.25, .5, or 1m?) on these waypoint alerts would be really helpful in terms if safe driving.

User Reporting - initial and more details
Add an option to email reporting user for more details when creating the report. The long press on report currently gives options for Police, Hazard and Traffic. My suggestion is to add one for 'email me' where the user can provide full details when they are not driving. Navigating to the Report, finding the correct option, before finding the Later option is not safe when you driving.
As editors, there are a lot of reports with minimal detail. Posting a request for the submitter to provide more details rarely gets a response.

Car Info Button
It's been over a year since you said "not now" so is a year (almost 2 years) long enough? "Car Info" button should be under the settings menu not on the main screen. Please allow us to remove the option while driving. How many people really change what they're driving that often to keep that on the main screen? It really should be under settings.
