Highway turn arounds on Map
There are "turn arounds" on highways for authorized vehicles and many police sit there. My GPS shows these turn arounds but Waze does not. I can't use Waze as a GPS replacement because this is extremely valuable information. If the police are using instant on radar or lidar there are times when just knowing these are ahead is invaluable. Saved me more than a few times. It is the only thing the Maps are missing.

NEW FEATURE
Add a new feature that allows waze to voice out hazards ahead like road kill, traffic, and stopped vehicles. Also, when police are reported ahead. This new feature would allow drivers to get all alerts even if they are not using the waze app as a navigation tool. Drivers would be able to set this feature on and off by Bluetooth in their car as well. This would be helpful for everyone driving even if they do not need a gps.

Android Auto lower render distance option
My Android Auto headunit is old and has low USB bandwidth, so when I'm out driving and I'm both using Waze on Android Auto and playing audio off my phone, when it has to render a large area my music will lag. Zooming in to freeze the map movement makes my music play again. This could be fixed by allowing us to either choose a "low performance" mode on android auto or letting us choose how far Waze renders non-map data on the map.
The fixes I've found online like disabling Bluetooth media to my car or swapping cables do…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Amélioration de la vitesse moyenne d'un parcours
Je fais un nouveau trajet qui va de cornebarieu Haute garonne à Labastide clermont Haute garonne.
Je prends l'autoroute et waze me fait sortir à la sortie 27.
Sauf que moi je sort à la sortie 26 parce que pour 3 kilomètres de plus je n'ai aucun stop ni aucun laisser la priorité. C'est beaucoup plus roulant.
DONC, MA SUGGESTION :
Que WAZE prennent en compte les stop et les laissez le passage entre deux trajets en privilégiant le trajet où il y en a le moins.
Compte tenu qu'en prenant la sortie 26, je suis sur une route large…1 vote -
Toll booth waiting time
Everytime I stop at a toll booth, the app asks if there is traffic jam. Instead of that, it would be nice to have toll booths identified in the map and once near it, the app would calculate the average time users are spending on each site, excluding fast passages as they would represent tagged vehicles. To display it, a bar similar to traffic jam would do just fine. With that, the ETA would be less affected by long lined in toll booths.

Add a full French (Canada) TTS voice with street name announcements
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to formally request the addition of a full Text-To-Speech (TTS) voice profile in French (Canada), including street name announcements.
Currently, only French (France) full TTS voices are available. While they function correctly, pronunciation differences are noticeable for Québec and Canadian place names. This affects clarity and user experience for French-Canadian drivers.
Given that:
- Québec represents a large and active Waze user base,
- Canadian French pronunciation differs significantly from European French,
- Other navigation platforms already support localized French-Canadian TTS,
Adding a French (Canada) TTS profile would significantly improve usability and accessibility for drivers in Québec…

Subject: Safety Concern Regarding Waze Prompts During Hazardous Driving Conditions
Subject: Safety Concern Regarding Waze Prompts During Hazardous Driving Conditions
On the morning of 18 May, we were on our way to Choa Chu Kang Peace Garden to pay our respects to my late mother on her first anniversary. It was raining heavily, and visibility was severely affected. I was fully focused on driving safely through the downpour.
During this time, the Waze GPS system repeatedly prompted me to confirm information it had picked up. Despite the poor driving conditions, these prompts continued without pause, which proved to be extremely distracting and dangerous. It diverted my attention at a time…

Would be handy to add hazards and notes on an area you've seen that day not current location
For instance driving from A47 to Brundall in Norfolk, along Postwick Lane there is a tree 1ft into the road. I knocked my wingmirror off there and so have others as people have passed oncoming vehicles. I saw many glass wingmirrors.
I've accidentally put this onto Theobald road Norwich.. could this be moved please to opposite Brundall Marina. I'd like to be able to warn others of this without having to be sat there in my car. Can you add hazards to alternative locations please that would be useful.

speed improving
Hello!
We use the product https://www.waze.com and we like it, but noticed,
the site slows down due to maps and scripts. (link and skrin are added). There are large libraries that greatly slow down page loading (https://embed.waze.com/livemap/assets/vendor-f90e3789d81b39390076.js) Tell me, please, are you planning to improve the project in terms of download speed?
Let me tell about our good practice with speed up the site. After changing the image format from .png to .webp, the download speed increased. Perhabs, you can use that on you project.Best regards, Sergey Gook, CEO Evakyator.by

Navigate toll roads even when pass not entered in settings.
I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the road, stop freaking out…

For motorcyclists using your services
To Whom it May Concern,
For motorcyclists using your services,
I highly recommend 2 alternative routes specifically planned for motorcyclists
1. In the situation for regular traffic do not change the recommended route. After all, we do now wait in line like regular vehicles.
2. In the case of heavy traffic, let the user choose whether to use the normal route or an alternative way. After all, though the ride in traffic is faster on a motorcycle than the ride in a 4 wheel car, it still requires the motorcyclist to slow down and be careful
Homework:1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Motorcycle based map and speed display scale and legibility.
I have 5" carplay units on both of my motorcycles. (no this is not a display size issue). My preferred map software in carplay, is Waze, as I want the most crowdsourced information such as cops, traffic, construction, etc. My only problem on the motorcycle with carplay/Waze display is that the map is way too FINE and small print, the speed is too small, and red/black which are fairly impossible to read as they're both dark colors.
My ask, and idea, and suggestion... either basically control over the display SIZE to make the fonts and boldness of the roads and…

View map on mobile to select point on map, law enforcement
Similar to Google Maps interface, in which I can pin a point on the mobile app and start navigation on Android Auto. I frequently use Waze to safely navigate to reported accidents, debris and disabled vehicles. Waze reports are significantly more location-accurate than my dispatcher saying "Respond to the area of Exit 45 for a crash." Before the last update, I could force stop Waze on my phone, reopen the app to the map, pin a location next to the incident and start navigation, then reopen the app on Android Auto to navigate. With the latest update, I can…

A feature that allows drivers to get help quickly if they break down in a tunnel with Waze beacons installed
When you enter a tunnel, and the Waze app senses this, it will put another icon on the screen, such as a red triangle with an exclamation mark, the same as your vehicles hazard light button.
If you get into trouble, you tap this button, and it brings up a screen that gives the tunnel operator's name and phone number (button), along with the direction of travel and exact location, e.g., nearest road marker on the wall. This information would be critical for quickly getting CCTV vision, lane closure lights, and dispatch of tow trucks.
It could also tell…

Police/Fire Operation in Progress
Sometimes in my area, the police or fire department will close a specific road or roads due to them dealing with an emergency, for example, when there was an apartment building on fire, the police blocked off all roads to traffic within 500m of the building, (like the car in the middle of the road positioned diagonally to prevent entry), and two officers positioned at each road block. But as soon as the fire was out, and the scene was cleared, the road blocks were removed.
When these road blocks happen, the provincial/state/national transportation authority is NOT notified as these…

Hello I was in Austria and in a section of 100km/h with the IG-L supplement, I didn't know if it applied to me and when I was driving 130km
Hello
I was in Austria and in a section of 100km/h with the IG-L supplement, I didn't know if it applied to me and when I was driving 130km/h waze didn't warn me that if my car runs on gasoline, it applies to me. It would be good, even if this tab is not active down in one strip, to explain to everyone what it means if it happens to light up in this section. In the settings, there is the type of vehicle and the preferred gasoline, and from that this information could be clear that it concerns me.…
