Add a “Leaving parking spot” community report
Waze already has a strong community reporting culture for traffic, hazards and police. A similar approach could be used for parking. When a user is parked, there could be a simple optional button like “I’m leaving this spot”. After confirmation, Waze would mark that location as recently vacated and show it to nearby drivers for a short time window (e.g. 5–10 minutes) and within a limited radius. This would be a community-driven signal, not a guaranteed or legal parking spot, similar to other crowdsourced reports in Waze. The feature could be opt-in, anonymized, time-limited, and removed automatically after a few minutes to avoid outdated information.
Such a community parking report could reduce cruising time, unnecessary traffic, and frustration in dense urban areas, while staying fully aligned with Waze’s crowdsourced philosophy.Waze already has a strong community reporting culture for traffic, hazards and police.

Smarter framing
The smart auto zoom now is fine, but I can’t help but notice that other navigators also change the angle of view in order to properly show the next manoeuvre instead of just having the POV right behind the cursor. An exceptionally good example is apple maps, which is lacking in many other departments but excels extremely in this one.

Development on increasing safety and careful driving
I propose a development that I believe will make drivers drive more carefully and thoughtfully. The way to do this is by displaying written and voice messages as well as displaying images. For example, when the driver increases the speed beyond the speed limit, he is shown a picture of his loved ones (parents, spouses, children, pets, etc.) accompanied by a message they convey to the driver in their voice (for example, the voice of a boy or girl, the barking of a dog or the meowing of a cat, etc.) A message such as: "You are driving above the speed limit, please drive carefully, we are waiting for you at home"; "It is important to us that you arrive home already, but it is more important to us that you arrive safe and sound." The user will upload a picture of his loved ones to the app, and then the app will randomly decide which of the loved ones will "upload" and deliver the message. AI can be used to produce a picture/video in which the loved one is seen speaking while delivering the message to drive carefully.
Even in cases where the user chooses not to upload a picture of their loved ones, you can simply send them visual messages (pictures of cars after an accident, ambulances, etc.) and ask them to drive carefully. You could consider displaying data like "In the last year ____ people did not reach their destination due to careless driving. Help us fight this phenomenon, etc.)
Of course, the topic can be expanded. However, I assume the idea has been conveyed

Seasonal Stork Nest Reporting in Waze
A seasonal, optional Waze feature allowing users to report roadside stork nests and optionally indicate the presence and number of chicks.
One-tap reporting, minimal distraction, visible only in spring–summer.
Aggregated anonymous data could support bird protection NGOs and research programs, turning Waze into a simple citizen-science tool without map clutter.1 vote -
Navigation Arrow Direction Not Updating While Parked
When starting navigation from a parking lot or store, the direction arrow does not rotate with the phone’s orientation. Unlike Google Maps, Waze only updates direction after the car starts moving, which can be confusing when deciding whether to turn left or right.

Saved Addresses
I have a proposal, can you please make like pages for the saved addresses list? after a certain amount it doesn’t show the rest of the list, and I don’t know the other saved addresses I have past like 50 or 100, I can’t even the see the name I put for those addresses, it would be better if we have access to the complete list of saved addresses instead of a limited amount.

Feature Proposal: Waze Order-Ahead Integration
"Syncing the Drive with the Kitchen"
1. The Problem Currently, users must juggle two separate tasks when picking up food: navigating through traffic and timing their order.If the user orders too early, the food gets cold.If they order too late (or wait until they arrive), they end up idling in parking lots or double-parking, causing traffic congestion—the very thing Waze aims to solve.
2. The Solution: "Waze Pick-Up"A seamless integration within the Waze app that allows users to place a "Quick-Order" for takeaway when they set their destination to a supported restaurant or coffee shop.How it works:Smart Timing: Based on the user’s Live ETA, Waze sends a signal to the restaurant's Point of Sale (POS) system.The "Fresh" Trigger: Instead of a static "15 minutes," the restaurant is notified to start the order when the driver is exactly $X$ minutes away, ensuring the food is ready the moment the wheels stop.Voice-First Interaction: Drivers can re-order "The Usual" via voice command to keep their eyes on the road.
3. Key BenefitsFor the User: Zero wait time and a safer, hands-free way to manage errands while driving.For the Community: Reduces "double-parking" and traffic bottlenecks near busy storefronts caused by drivers waiting for orders.For Waze/Google: Creates a new revenue stream through affiliate partnerships with food platforms (like Olo, UberEats, or Square) and keeps users inside the Waze ecosystem longer.
4. User Flow ExampleSearch: User searches for "Starbucks" or "Pizza" in Waze.Action: A "Order for Pickup" button appears next to "Go."Refine: User selects a "Quick-Menu" item (e.g., "Large Americano").Drive: Waze monitors the ETA. If the driver hits a traffic jam, the restaurant is automatically notified to delay the start of the order.Arrive: User arrives; food is ready; traffic keeps moving."Syncing the Drive with the Kitchen"

Improved Speed Limit Visibility for Weak Eyesight
I recently switched to Waze and like it a lot, but due to weak eyesight I find it hard to read the speed limit on my phone when mounted in the car. Please add an option to enlarge the speed limit sign or hide my speed and show only a larger road speed limit for better visibility.

Toll passes time frame
It would be nice if we could put timeframe/expire date on toll passes. In europe xou can buy toll passes for several amounts of times (1-day, 10-day, etc.) if these passes would automatically disappear at the set expiry time, I think it would be really good feature.

📌 Waze Feedback Note: Emoji Report Library Feature How the feature works: I would love to suggest a new feature called Emoji Report Librar
📌 Waze Feedback Note: Emoji Report Library Feature
How the feature works:
I would love to suggest a new feature called Emoji Report Library to enhance the Waze experience. This feature will allow users to:
• Tap “Report Emoji” under the main report button.
• Access a full emoji library (based on Apple emojis since most people use iPhones and the visuals are familiar).
• Select any emoji to describe something they want to report (e.g. 💩 for waste on the road, 🐍 for a snake, 🔧 for broken signs, etc).
• After selecting an emoji, users are shown the map to pin the location of the emoji report accurately.
• If placed in the wrong spot, the user can tap to edit and adjust the location.Why this matters:
• Emoji reports give users creative and quick ways to describe situations on the road that aren’t covered by current report types.
• It adds personality and fun to Waze, encouraging more engagement.
• It helps highlight real-time, unusual situations like:
• 💩 – waste in the middle of the road
• 🐢 – slow animal crossing
• ⚠️ – unclear hazard
• 🪧 – missing sign
• 🐍 – snake on the road
• 🧸 – object dropped from car (toy or item)
• 🦺 – road worker sighting
• 🐕 – dog in dangerExtra wish:
I also miss some old reports like:
• Animal sighted
• Missing road signs
•RoadkillThe emoji reports don't need to have circles surrounding them. They are just simple
These reports help us be more aware of nature, environment, and safety, so bringing them back would be valuable.

1/1/26 WAZE consistently sent me to closed roads when directing me to Pisgah State Park entrance in NH.
1/1/26, using WAZE, I was consistently directed to closed and non-maintained roads when I requested driving directions to the entrance of Pisgah State Park, in NH. I am told that these roads are never open to regular vehicular traffic. This is a significant error in the program. I wasted an hour trying to find the park entrance.

Integración alertas vehículo detenido de baliza obligatoria DGT V-16 en navegación WAZE
En España ya es obligatorio que todos los vehículos dispongan de una baliza V-16. En caso de que esta baliza se active, automáticamente envía una alerta a los sistemas de la DGT, con la posición del vehículo detenido. Sería más que interesante integrar esta información, de acceso público, automáticamente en la app WAZE; para alertar automáticamente de un vehículo detenido en cuanto una baliza así lo indique. De esta forma, cualquiera que esté utilizando el navegador dispondrá de esta información de antemano.
