Sound alert on/off toggle for re-routing notifications
I am a professional heavy vehicle driver and use Waze constantly. As only one additional stop is allowed, I take numerous side trips off my set designated route. The constant rerouting sound is quite annoying and personally, I dont need to be notified audibly that I am leaving the nominated route and would like the option to turn it off when not needed.

Traffic simulator
If you have plenty of free time, choose this “amazing” app. It will confidently guide you straight into the worst traffic jams. And if the road ahead isn’t congested enough, don’t worry - Waze will reroute you to somewhere with an even bigger mess. Peak inefficiency, perfectly automated

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…1 vote -
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…1 vote -
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…1 vote -
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..

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.
