Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay
Often what we find is that most people are reporting the same thing over and over. For example vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead or police. Having a couple of customizable icon areas on screen would not only streamline this experience but add to the overall safety.
Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay / Android auto.

Design Limitations in Waze
Dear Waze,
I appreciate how Waze has improved real-time navigation, but it seems to be designed for experienced urban drivers who prioritize speed and can easily handle notifications. This may exclude and endanger those with different driving abilities and priorities. In this email, I outline four key design issues and suggest solutions to make Waze more inclusive. My observations come from personal experience with the platform and relevant academic research.
Firstly, Waze selects the fastest route automatically but doesn’t factor in risks like high crime areas, poorly lit areas, or dangerous road conditions. This has had real consequences,…1 vote -
Parking route
It would be great if, once you arrive near your destination, Waze could guide you through nearby areas with available parking. The app should take you on circular routes that always bring you back to your arrival point, dynamically adjusting the path if necessary.
Imagine a city with a grid layout of intersections:
You arrive at point A and select an option from a pop-up indicating that you need to find parking. Waze directs you to take a loop around the block to the upper left, bringing you back to point A. If no parking is found, the app…

Pay users based on qty of valid pings to assist with building the business
What makes waze unique is the flexibility in posting different pings to provide drivers a heads up as they drive.
But to encourage a greater quantity of pings to ensure all areas of the nation is active on pings is to provide a financial incentive.
After achieving different certain milestones in activity similar to being verified, you have the ability to earn some income.

Show Fuel Stops on Route Map Instead of Only in List View
When selecting a fuel stop during navigation, please display the available stations overlaid directly on the map along my current route, instead of only showing them in a list. In unfamiliar areas, relying only on a list can lead to picking a station that causes an unnecessary detour. Being able to see fuel stops visually on the map would make it much easier to choose the most convenient option that lies naturally on my journey.

Police / Mobile Camera Frequent Locations
Please create a feature that allows users to report and drop a pin 📌 on locations where police or mobile speed cameras (such as tripods, vans, etc.) are spotted. This way, we can receive a warning ⚠️ before reaching those areas, especially if multiple users have reported them. It would also be helpful to see how many people have clicked a small “OK” 👍 to confirm the accuracy of each report.

Ladeiras Íngremes
Olá, moro em Manaus e venho relatar a falta de um recurso que seria muito importante.
São várias áreas em que existem ladeiras muito íngremes aqui, impossível para alguns subir.
Poderia existir uma opção de evitar ladeiras íngremes, como existem as opções de evitar rua não pavimentadas, por exemplo. Os usuários poderiam dizer quais são ou vocês mesmos poderiam classificar quais são as ladeiras.
Sinto muita falta disso.1 vote -
Add option to alert to "Opposite Side" police reports
In most areas, even police with bumper-mounted radar heads can measure speed in different directions and differentiate between targets, and many departments (most, these days) equip front and rear emittors which work simultaneously. Unless this feature is exclusively to be used for situations where the threat is on the other side of a concrete barrier where there is no nearby onramp or turnaround, it makes no sense not to at least have the option to enable such alerts.

Buss lane camera UK
Dear Waze Team,
I’m a regular user of Waze and truly appreciate how it helps make driving easier and safer. I’d like to suggest adding a new feature to the app: bus lane camera alerts, especially in cities like London where these cameras are widespread.
Many drivers are fined for accidentally entering bus lanes without realizing it, and an alert system could prevent such mistakes, just like the existing speed camera notifications. This would be incredibly helpful for users unfamiliar with specific areas or road layouts.

Map Cornering Indicator
How about adding a small icon on the main map screen that shows the realistic, scaled angle of upcoming corners?
This little feature could give drivers a much clearer idea of how sharp or gentle the turns are ahead. It would be especially handy in tricky areas with lots of tight turns or in places we’re not familiar with.
I think having an accurate corner scale indicator could help us prepare better for turns, making our drives smoother and safer.

Layout na horizontal
Olá, equipe do Waze!
Sou um usuário frequente e gosto muito do aplicativo, mas gostaria de sugerir uma melhoria no layout quando utilizo o celular na posição horizontal (paisagem).Atualmente, há uma caixa escura no canto superior esquerdo que exibe as próximas instruções de rota com setas. Essa caixa ocupa uma área significativa da tela e acaba cobrindo uma parte importante do mapa, dificultando a visualização — especialmente em cruzamentos ou áreas com muitas ruas próximas.
Sugestões que poderiam melhorar a experiência:
Opção para ocultar ou minimizar essa caixa de instruções, deixando apenas a rota visível no mapa.

Needs PIP mode, saved/offline maps, and no Cancel/Shutdown
Waze is honestly better than Google Maps.
But with a few improvements, it can become the perfect navigation app:PIP (Picture-in-Picture) mode:
When I minimize the app, the map should stay visible in a small floating window. Right now it disappears during multitasking, which is inconvenient.Saved / Offline Maps:
There should be an option to download and save maps for your region. This is very helpful in low-signal areas.Back button behaviour:
It should not ask “Cancel” or “Shutdown App” when we press the Back button. It interrupts the navigation experience.1 vote -
Automatic Protection Against False Report Modifications
I would like to request a feature that detects and restricts users who repeatedly remove or modify valid reports, such as police presence, without a legitimate reason. In some areas, authorities have been clearing active reports intentionally to hide their locations, which reduces the reliability of Waze information for other drivers.
It would be beneficial if Waze could implement an automated system to identify frequent false removals and take appropriate action (e.g., warnings or temporary bans), helping maintain the accuracy and trustworthiness of the reporting system.

calque
Bonjour,
Je suis chauffeur de taxi à l’aéroport de Toulouse Blagnac.
Depuis quelques années, nous utilisons une tarification par zone soit 4 zones. Nous avions créé un calque sur MAPS qui nous permettais de bien connaitre la zone tarifaire. A l’heure d’aujourd’hui lorsque nous avons un doute nous sommes dans l’obligation de saisir l’adresse sur MAPS puis une fois la zone confirmée, nous devons ressaisir l’adresse sur WAZE. WAZE étant l’application utilisé par l’intégralité des taxis.
Voici ma problématique et ma question. Est-ce qu’il est possible sur Waze de créer un calque comme sur MAPS (j’ai retourné le web mais…1 vote -
Multiple Road Toggle
For areas with multiple levels (e.g. express way on top of a regular highway) or multiple parallel roads (e.g. regular highway and express way next to each other), there should be an option to configure which one you are actually on since sometimes Waze gives you directions that don't match up like telling you to take a turn when you're in an elevated part and not approaching an exit or telling you that it will take 5 minutes instead of the actual 30 because it thinks you're in an express way.

Amélioration de la Sécurité
Probleme sur l’aspect sécurité pas réellement pris en compte avec Android auto
Auparavant le curseur ou action était directement positionné sur la validation d’un message et le reste du temps sur le bouton permettant de prévenir d’un danger.
Par défaut le curseur est sur Recherche qui plus est avec un peu de soleil dans la figure est très difficile à déplacer sur l'action voulue (a minima l’entourer de jaune ou autre couleur pour le voir).
Du coup je ne valide plus rien car je suis obligé de quitter des yeux la route et je trouve celà trop dangereux.Donc…

Improve vertical UI on iPhone
Please fix the vertical user interface on iPhone! It is a complete mess, with large blacked out areas unnecessarily blocking the useful map space, therefore limiting our map vision and app experience, also the shortcuts or pop-ups are difficult to reach/click. Moreover, it doesn’t show a green line when entering part of the road under avg speed radar control. It should be an easy fix, just look at the carplay version, or maybe take ideas from google or apple maps. I am literally switching to other map providers because I have a terrible experience of using waze in vertical…

Add User-Configurable Filter to Hide Road Closures Older Than X Hours
In regions experiencing dynamic events like protests, construction, or natural disasters, road closures can appear and disappear rapidly. Unfortunately, Waze currently displays all reported closures—regardless of how old or potentially outdated they are—until another user manually clears them or the system detects traffic through them. This results in a cluttered and often inaccurate map, especially in countries like Panama where road conditions can change daily.
Request:
Please implement a user-configurable filter to hide or de-emphasize road closures that haven’t been confirmed or re-reported in a given time frame (e.g., 24, 48, or 72 hours). This would allow drivers to better…
