Running out of fluel
Hello Waze team,
As a frequent Waze user, I would like to share a recurring road-safety issue that currently has no dedicated solution in the app.
Drivers sometimes get stranded specifically due to running out of fuel. This situation can be stressful and even dangerous, especially at night or on highways. While Waze helps locate nearby gas stations, it does not help once the driver is already unable to reach one.
Since Waze already knows:
the real-time location of drivers,
which drivers are about to pass the same area,
and the location of nearby fuel stations,
it could enable a fuel-specific assistance feature.
For example:
A stranded driver could request fuel assistance through Waze. Nearby drivers who are already passing a gas station could receive an alert and choose to help.
The fuel cost — plus an optional service fee — could be paid securely inside the Waze app.
This would allow:
fair compensation for the helping driver,
a small transaction or service fee for Waze,
no exchange of personal details between users,
and a safer, faster solution for fuel-related breakdowns.
Such a feature could improve road safety, create a trusted micro-service ecosystem, RaneenHello Waze team,

Est-ce que tu serait possible de mettre la carte plus visible en position horizontale car c’est dans cette position que j’utilise mon téléphone dans ma voiture et du coup on voit moins bien tout ce qui est radar travaux alerte et ça serait bien plus pratique

ambulance alert by location
With increased distractions in traffic, whether due to high driver concentration or the use of loud music, the approach of an ambulance responding to an emergency often goes unnoticed. In light of this, it would be extremely useful if Waze offered a feature capable of alerting drivers to the passage of an ambulance on a rescue mission. The proposal consists of a visually striking, flashing, full-screen alert that would only disappear after user confirmation via a button. This alert would be triggered by the ambulance crew themselves, through a specific and differentiated login, allowing the notification to be sent to vehicles ahead, on the same road and in the same direction of travel. This functionality would significantly contribute to opening up passage in locations where there are no dedicated emergency lanes or where, due to a lack of traffic education, drivers do not react appropriately to the approach of emergency vehicles — a common reality in many countries. In addition to saving time, this measure has the direct potential to save lives.

wrong navigation for address
Wrong location on Waze
Please note that waze misdirects its users as to the following address:
Ketzot Hachoshen 22, Modiin Ilit, Israel.
Currently typing this address sends the driver to the wrong side of the street.
There is no option to add a map, so please check Google Maps and fix accordingly. Needless to say, this mistakes causes difficulties and delays, particularly for shipping services.
Thank you for taking care of this ASAP.1 vote -
Reports Ahead
The Reports Ahed list is now filled with reports of Speed Camera Ahead, making it almost impossible to see the actually important information (traffic, lane blocked, etc.). I have turned OFF ALL of the camera selections and the list is stilll filled with USELESS information.

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

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.

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"

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.
