Speed camera alert when not speeding
Hi,
I’ve been using Waze for 7 years and it’s been great, however I’ve moved to an area filled with “smart motorways” which mean the speed limit changes.
This means that if I come up to a speed camera and the motorway is set to 40mph I will not get alerted because Waze still thinks it’s 70mph. Please give us a way to make speed cameras alert every time instead of only when speeding as this could cause many issues for people and cause unnecessary tickets on smart motorways.
I only drive with “alert only” so if you can make sure this is included for that, that would solve a lot of nightmares

Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue
I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety problem with Waze routing in South Africa.
Waze repeatedly routes users through extremely dangerous areas and known hijacking hotspots in order to save only a few minutes of travel time. This has placed myself, my family members, and many others into life-threatening situations, including multiple attempted hijackings.
This is not hypothetical. There is documented precedent of fatal incidents caused by GPS routing into unsafe areas in South Africa, including the widely reported case of an elderly couple murdered in Cape Town after following GPS directions to an unsafe intersection.
In South Africa, road safety is not primarily about accident risk — it is about violent crime, ambush points, and predictable hijacking patterns. Optimising purely for travel time without a safety-based routing option creates foreseeable and preventable harm.
I am requesting that Waze introduce a “Safety-first” or “Avoid high-risk areas” routing option, even if it increases travel time. Similar logic already exists for avoiding toll roads or ferries, and this feature is critically necessary for high-risk regions.
Multiple people close to me, including my sister and girlfriend, have stopped using Waze entirely due to repeated exposure to dangerous situations.
Please escalate this to the appropriate product and safety teams. This is a public safety issue specific to South Africa and other high-risk regions.
Thank you.Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue

Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback regarding the recent change to the pop-up warning banners for speed and red light cameras. These alerts were previously Red but have recently changed to a dark gray/black color in Night/Dark mode.
I strongly urge you to revert these alerts back to Red for the following safety reasons based on driving psychology and neuroscience:
Visual Saliency (The "Pop-Out" Effect): Studies show that the human brain has a "Saliency Map" that scans for high-priority colors. Red triggers stronger gamma-band oscillations in the visual cortex than any other color, making it the most effective color for alerting a driver who is focused on the road.
Exogenous Attentional Capture: While driving, my primary focus (central vision) is on the road. A dark-colored banner blends into the interface. A Red banner, however, utilizes peripheral awareness to "capture" attention automatically. This allows the brain to recognize a hazard or alert without the driver needing to take their eyes off the road to "search" for the information.
Night Vision Safety: In dark mode, low-contrast dark banners are easily missed. Red is universally recognized as a "stop" or "danger" signal and provides the necessary contrast to ensure the driver is alerted instantly.
Restoring the red color will improve response times and overall driver safety. Thank you for considering this research-backed improvement.Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.

Subject: Restore Red Color for Speed and Red Light Camera Alert Banners
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback on the recent UI change regarding the pop-up alert banners for speed cameras and red light cameras.
In previous versions, these alerts appeared in a bright red banner, which was immediately noticeable. In the current update, the banner has changed to a dark gray/black color. While this might look "modern," it creates a significant visibility issue, especially when driving in Dark Mode or at night.
The dark banner blends into the background of the app, making it difficult to distinguish an important safety warning from other map elements at a glance. For driver safety and awareness, I strongly request that you restore the high-contrast red color for these specific enforcement alerts.Message:

Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere
Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere. It knows you entered the tunnel and shown you the exit to the, but when you lose gps signal it can’t find you and you can take wrong exits.. also stating each trip should allow you to choose tolls or not..

Back button for hazard reporting

Reporting a bad traffic light on the entrance ramp to a freeway is not helpful but reporting a broken down car is…

Suggestion 1 – Wazer color:
I suggest that the Wazer avatar should not be displayed in blue, as this color may cause visual confusion, since it is commonly associated with police and speed cameras.
The avatar could be available in multiple colors, except blue, in order to avoid misinterpretation while using the application. Brazil1 vote -
When using Google IME (Chinese) to input location in search bar, there's certain chance the input may completely ignore and app hang up.
Since the update around past Dec, insert chinese words via Google IME may lead to App hang up.

Cumulé des points en partageant les info trafic et échanger contre goodies dans une boutique Waze
bonjour j’ai une idée qui m’a traversé l’esprit en roulant. Nous gagnons des points, quand nous partageons des infos sur le trafic comme les radar, police, accident et autre. On nous demande si c’est toujours là etc.. j’ai pensais qu’il serai bien d’avoir en échange de notre contribution donc « nos points » une petite boutique sur l’application où ont pourrais échanger nos point contre des goodies « de la route ». Comme des ethylotest par exemple, des accessoires de route, des porte clé de la marque Waze, stickers de véhicule ou autres..

WAZE & UK driving law
With the UK driving laws not allowing use of the phone whilst driving, the ads are causing problems on the screen.
I realise that ads make money for the designers but if they’re not stopped, then you’ll lose customers1 vote -
Directions and Timing for Bicycle and Walking
It would be amazing if Waze could add directions and timing for bicycles and walking. I was flabbergasted to find these features weren’t in the App when I needed walking directions in NYC, New York, and again when I got lost and was looking for directions while cycling in downtown San Antonio, Texas. I’m always hoping and waiting for these features to be added with each update. Please consider adding walking and cycling to the App.

Option to display MILE MARKERS on interstates.
Please add an option to display mile markers on the map when traveling interstates. Some locations like rest areas are already defined by mile markers within Waze, and the data is already available on the back end so it shouldn’t be difficult to implement. It could be optional and off by default. But it absolutely helps road safety by being able to accurately report emergencies by way of mile marker designations on open stretches of interstate. Also very useful to professional drivers.

Custom colors for car icon arrow &night time route
To be able to change colour of default car icon and night time route color, the cyan blue is too much of a strain on the eyes, if these were to be customised to suit all individuals for their own preference, this would be appreciated, maybe a shaded circle around the arrow as well for more clarity.

Tour bus mode / truck mode
Hi there! I was invited to share my suggestion here after leaving a comment on the App Store. Amazing customer service for reaching out and following up!
As a tour bus driver, I would love Waze to have a dedicated bus mode where we can avoid low bridges, sharp turns, U-turns, narrow streets, and tunnels that are too low for our vehicles, while also allowing us to use “no trucks” routes when buses are permitted. It would also be extremely useful to have features to find bus parking areas and designated drop-off / pick-up zones. There is a big difference between truck navigation and bus navigation, but there are currently very few options for bus drivers.
