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:

Bring back the old speedometer position (bottom left corner)
With the latest update, the speedometer on the mobile app has moved from the bottom left corner to the center of the bottom edge of the screen. This new position is distracting and interferes with map visibility, especially when checking upcoming turns or traffic info.
The previous placement in the bottom left corner was much more intuitive and out of the way. Please consider giving users the option to choose the speedometer position, or revert it back to where it was.

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.

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).

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

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

Prevent Constant Navigation pop-up while using other CarPlay apps.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and whilst the car is in motion the CarPlay touchscreen is disabled and I interact with the interface using a wheel and buttons to move the focus and activate controls.
When using Waze to navigate and switching to music or Spotify or another app Waze will pop up notifications for alerts or upcoming navigation events.
When forced to use the wheel to control the interface this pop up is extremely annoying and interferes with controlling the CarPlay interface. It is so intrusive that I will be navigating songs etc and when I click to activate a song or app feature, the Waze pop up has reappeared and instead of clicking the item I want it takes me back to Waze. Other navigation apps like Apple Maps show the pop up but when I move the wheel the pop up goes away and doesn’t come back allowing me to interact with the other app as normal. Waze keeps bringing the pop up back constantly resulting in making use of the other app nearly impossible.
This small issue caused me so much grief that I found using Waze to navigate made me angry while driving so I stopped using Waze for over 6 months. When I tried Waze again after this time it made me realise that I had been calm while driving and when I used Waze I immediately became an angry driver.
Please recognise when a user has dismissed the pop up by moving focus and stop this pop up from constantly reoccurring and preventing normal interaction with other apps as I do not wish to share the road with Waze angry drivers for such a small but infuriating interface issue.

Mejorar la seguridad en la vía
Para mejorar la seguridad de los conductores en la vía, especialmente en Colombia, se debería:
-Crear una notificación por voz que sugiera disminuir la velocidad por la existencia de baches peligrosos en la vía.
- Permitir a los usuarios "pintar" los baches en la vía con un color que les permita a otros usuarios darse cuenta de la posición exacta de los mismos. De igual manera, se les permita "borrar" los baches que vayan siendo reparados.
- Permitir la descarga previa de la ruta con notificaciones sobre baches para evitar accidentes por pérdida de conectividad.20 votes -
Go back to the old format for alerts. Color & Location
Blue for police, orange for hazards. It's more eye-catching. Having the alerts near the bottom really doesn't catch the eye. Before the change was made I didn't even have to glance at my phone I could see the colors and icon through my peripheral vision

Variable Toll versus Fixed Toll opton
A lot of users want Waze to add additional features for variable tolls but all I am asking for is for Waze to recoginze the difference between fixed tolls and varaible tolls. I've come to the conclusion that Waze is pretty much unusable for my comute from Falls Church to Herndon, VA becuase it either wants to take me on the unaffordable express lanes OR avoid the reasonable Dulles Toll Road.

AskWazersBox - a hybrid reporting tool enhancing Wazers and Map Editors cooperation
As StreetView is often outdated or just does not exist when trying to keep Waze Maps updated with latest road constructions or changes, road configurations/restrictions/speed limits/signs etc. needs to be checked and verified on-spot. There's no chance Waze Map Editors will go and check everything themselves. We have so many Wazers driving around that could help them answering specific questions.
I suggest creating a hybrid reporting tool that would extend existing reporting functionality and help Waze Map Editors gathering specific answers they need directly from Wazers who are on-spot. This would let to keep Waze Maps updated as fast and accurate as possible. Let's name it AskWazersBox.
Tool should let Map Editors to create a standalone object or mark an existing point/segment/area and specify a question as well as predefined answers and/or request a photo. A Wazer that crosses/enters/approaches the spot would get a popup asking to answer the question and/or to post a photo, similar like it is for fuel prices or when approaching a destination. If none of predefined answers are suitable, Wazer should be able to comment in free text.
Tool also should let to select which level Wazers are prompted to answer the question to ensure quality answers depending on problem complexity.
To prevent trolling or otherwise abuse of the tool, I believe it should be enabled for Editors that are level 3-4+.
Also, obviously, some users may not want to get extra popups, so Waze client should have a setting/consent "I agree to receive questions from Waze Map Editors" which could be enabled by default but users also could choose "do not show again" etc.
To prevent some forgotten AskWazersBox'es, it should be possible to set an expire period after which it stops sending questions to Wazers and only stores gathered responses for some limited time.As StreetView is often outdated or just does not exist when trying to keep Waze Maps updated with latest road constructions or changes, road configurations/restrictions/speed limits/signs etc. needs to be checked and verified on-spot.

Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign.
Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign when using with an Android Auto car or stereo unit. Currently, it shows both or only the speedometer with the speed limit sign too small to see easily. When I first start up and I'm parked on a street that has a speed limit, the sign is nice and big. Once moving though, the speedometer shows up and the limit sign shrinks down to where it's hard to see.

Google based domain fronting for Waze to fight internet censorship
Hi
As you might know Waze is being blocked in different countries including Iran.
It would be great to implement domain fronting techniques for Waze client so people in countries with limited internet access could be able to use Waze without installing third party VPN software.
Messenger App Signal has implemented such techniques and it has been successful so far.https://www.wired.com/2016/12/encryption-app-signal-fights-censorship-clever-workaround/
