Is exit-cutting intentional?
Last night Waze recommended that I exit the I-66 freeway in northern VA and re-enter on the other side of the interchange - essentially using the exit/entry ramp as a shortcut to cut in front of other drivers who remained on the main highway. This sort of selfish behavior by drivers makes overall traffic worse - is this really an an intentional feature? If so, would you consider changing it?

Vehicule type shorcutcut
Hi!
I often switch between motorbike and private car.
The ETA is different because of traffic jam.
It could be easier and faster if we could make an ios shortcut wich could switch it.
Then with an automation like when you plug any carplay device, switch to private car. and when you unplug it, switch again to motorbike.ChatGPT told me to do it opening url with devicetype but its doesnt work.

This is an assisted process
Waze just did something beautiful today. He/She/It asked me "Are we going to XXX place?" I've been waiting for that kind of event. Technology should be doing much more work than we are actually experiencing. Waze should not be just a navigator but a road assistant. A rolling Siri. Not just an interface but a behavior. Not an app but a mate.
In that line of thinking, Waze could be more playful. Not just telling you where to go, but adding value because Waze knows you. For example, If Waze is responsible enough for remembering not to leave your…

Waze has serious problems! I installed it on my smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and initially worked during the first 3 or 4 Kms (experience to go home). Then, as further away (25 home Kms), failed to show the map and the navigation route. And the voice disappeared. Left to navigate!
I got home and the phone connected to the wireless network, clicked on Waze shortcut. And the smartphone blocked!

I have several ideas
First I have been through 2 permanent speed cameras Waze did not warn me about. Although it might say turn in 300 metres, I have no conception of distance and if a few streets are close I don’t know which one and It needs to tell you to turn here about 2 secs earlier then it does I miss streets and need to be in other lanes to turn esp. in the city where there are lots of one way streets and turn only lanes. I’m on iPhone and I hate that it turns off Siri google DOES NOT work…

iOS App: fewer taps to report incidents?
Feature request: Please allow custom shortcuts for reporting common items like "Car on Shoulder" or "Police" or "Crash". Maybe users can select which ones to have directly on the map display screen.
Right now, it takes 4 taps on the screen to report "Car on shoulder".
Hazard (the yellow triangle)
Hazard (another yellow triangle!!!)
Car on shoulder
ReportThat is too many. I would put an icon for this this directly on the map screen. This is the most common interaction I have with Waze while driving.

School/Teamk/event emoticons. Lost on way to game? See the similarly clad Wazers in team gear!
Say you're traveling down Interstate 75 headed for Floida A&M University in Tallahassee, but you get lost near a well-known shortcut in Tifton, Georgia. Never fear! Your Waze app shows nearby drivers clad in FAMU gear, and they are all headed in the same direction! Follow them, sort of how you might notice groups of FAMU license plates headed in the same direction. But Waze allows you to look for your fellow FAMUans further down the road! This concept could also work for events/conference, etc. Thanks for considering this idea!

Ich habe einige Worte
Hallo liebes Waze Team,
ich habe einige Fehler in der App entdeckt und habe ein paar Tipps und Vorschläge für euch.
Fehler: Unter „Stimme und Ton“ -> „Sprich zum Melden“ lässt sich der Button nicht aktivieren. Er schaltet sich immer wieder auf OFF. Außerdem gibt es bei Apple CarPlay ein Problem: Wenn sich die Route ändert, verlängert oder verkürzt, erscheint unten links eine Anmerkung, die mit $$ beginnt. Ich vermute, dass es sich dabei um einen Bug handelt.
Vorschläge: Es wäre super, wenn man in der App die Ampel sehen könnte. Das würde das Fahren deutlich sicherer machen, besonders in…

Waze Public Restroom Locator
PROBLEM:
Several times a day, all humans share the common need to use the restroom. Some of us need to go more frequently than others for various reasons, but when nature calls, it’s a universal truth that we have to answer.
In contrast to Waze's capabilities in providing traffic updates, routes, parking and directions, there is currently no shortcut feature for locating public restrooms. This gap underscores the challenge of finding nearby public restrooms, particularly in unfamiliar areas. Even if you manage to find one, it may be closed for maintenance during certain hours or lack essential amenities like accessibility…

last version 4.13.0.4 is shit , not updating the traffic live , wrong proposed itineraries
the last revisions are not working any more
traffic update delayed => wrong / inaccurate proposed routes or deviations
strange routes proposed ( improbable routes , longer and not saving time ) , but shortcuts not proposed anymore => inefficient
again today , I saved 23 minutes versus the estimation from waze on a route proposed as a 3rd solution ... as traffic not update live anymore !!!

TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads
Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.
Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!
For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all…

Half-screen display on Android Auto
Is itbpossible to optimise the half-screen display on Android Auto to show the key direction information? At the moment the road names trail off if they're too long while there are things like the exit numbers that are in green aesthetic boxes taking up a lot of unnecessary space.
Would be nice to also have the pop-up notification shortcuts to "Home" or "Work" or a chosed Saved Place like Google Maps so I can start on my journey more effectively.

favorites system & usability
The favorites system in this app feels extremely limited and unintuitive, making saving and using favorites unnecessarily difficult.
Instead of a proper favorites list, the app relies on a single horizontal bar that requires swiping left and right. This design does not scale: once more than a few locations are saved, finding anything becomes a guessing game.
Fixed locations (Home and Work)
Several locations such as Home and Work are fixed and cannot be customized:
- Names cannot be renamed
- Icons are oversized
- Labels are too long and take up excessive space
- Entries cannot be deleted or…1 vote -

How is Machine Learning different from AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two of today's most widely used buzzwords in the cutting-edge technological scene. While they're sometimes used interchangeably, they're respective but related areas. AI is the general term that refers to developing systems that can carry out tasks that would otherwise need human intelligence, while machine learning refers to a subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data and get better over time without being specifically programmed. It's important for students, professionals, and organizations to understand the difference between AI and ML because it determines how they can effectively use the…

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/pin top 3 reports of most frequently used reports
having to click into three different report types, then groups and subgroups just to let other wazers know there’s a car on the shoulder is distracting and takes more attention away from the road than i’d like it to. it’s actually a bit of a deterrent in some ways. i love using waze and i appreciate the contribution others make to my safety as a driver and i’d like to be able to reciprocate, but that can be really hard for me to do when i have to take my eyes off the road for 10 seconds to submit a…
