Differentiate Police vs highways in Reports
Highways Traffic Officers are often reported as “Police,” but they do not enforce laws or issue fines.
This creates confusion and reduces report accuracy and deems any police report as untrustworthy
Splitting reports into:
• Police (enforcement)
• Traffic Officers (incident management)would improve clarity, trust, and usefulness for drivers. Not only in initial reporting but also in other users having a feature to correct incorrect reporting instead of flagging “not there” for the next user to report police again

Slow Down Songs to play through Waze
Road safety slow-down songs to play via Waze apps whilst driving through school zones. The Australian Road Safety foundation has a number of "slow down songs" for school and construction zones. It would be a GREAT safety improvement for Waze to automatically queue these songs when in a school zone and construction zone.
A great leap forward for school zone safety!

Temporary Route Avoidance Settings (Per-Trip Only Option)
Suggestion:
I’d like to suggest adding the ability to apply route avoidance settings (such as avoiding highways, tolls, or ferries) for a single trip only, rather than changing global navigation preferences.
Currently, when a user enables options like “avoid highways,” the setting remains active for all future routes until it is manually turned off. This can lead to confusion or unintended routing on subsequent trips if the user forgets to revert the setting.
A more flexible approach would be to allow users to select avoidance options specifically for the current trip during route setup. Once the trip is complete, the app would automatically revert to the user’s default route preferences.
Proposed Functionality:
-Add a “For This Trip Only” toggle or section when selecting route options
-Allow users to choose:
-Avoid highways
-Avoid tolls
-Avoid ferries
**Automatically reset these selections after the
trip endsBenefits:
-Prevents users from forgetting to revert global settings
-Provides more flexibility for one-off driving preferences (e.g., scenic routes, avoiding highways temporarily)
-Improves overall user experience and reduces routing confusionSuggestion:

Too many notifications before a turn, can we decide distance before a turn
At the moment I get a notification about 1km before a turn, then about 800m, 500m, 200m. It’s too many. Just a menu item with a list of possible turn distance notifications, and a checkbox next to each so we can decide how many. My own choice would be 800m and 200m, but two is enough notifications for a turn in my opinion. Maybe also a system to adjust these distances depending on my speed. But maybe that’s getting too complicated! But basically give us the possibility to choose.

Speed and red light cameras and other cameras
Is it possible if waze said for speed and red light cameras and other cameras to say where any camera is in 1 mile not in 0.2 miles because that way people would get a heads up and not panic and not slam on the brakes cause that can be dangerous

Alternativní trasy/ Display distance difference for alternative routes
Poprosím u alternativních tras kromě času zobrazovat i kilometry:
Prakticky by stačila informace +4 min (barvou červenou) a -12 km (barvou zelenou).
jedná se o jasnou a rychlou informací. Jasná informace - pojedu déle, ale kratší trasou než je ta svájící navolená.
moc by mi to pomohlo. Děkuji LiHPlease display the distance difference alongside the time for alternative routes.
A simple indicator like "+4 min" (red) and "-12 km" (green) would provide instant clarity. It would allow drivers to quickly see if an alternative route is longer in time but shorter in distance compared to the current one. This would be a very helpful feature for better decision-making.
Thank you, LiH

Make driving easier and to know what destinations look like with satellite view and also add photos from tripadvisor or google on waze.
The reason I suggest this is many times i find i can't just use waze as it doesn't have satellite view and i end up using other apps for me its a need so I know where im driving when in driver mode and aren't just getting rough ideas from the current view, another feature i suggest is many times you can't view photos of locations because you have to be at the destination to take the photo and there are very few so another feature to add would be to add maybe photos from Google to the app instead of relying on users to take a photo at said location.

Navegação e Rotas Otimizadas para Cadeiras de Rodas
Gostaria de sugerir a implementação de um modo de navegação específico para cadeiras de rodas (manuais e elétricas). Além de permitir que os utilizadores marquem a presença ou ausência de rampas, seria fundamental que o Waze calculasse as melhores rotas com base em critérios de acessibilidade.
Isso inclui evitar trajetos com degraus, calçadas intransitáveis ou inclinações muito acentuadas que esgotam a bateria das cadeiras elétricas. Precisamos de um sistema que nos indique o trajeto mais seguro e acessível, e não apenas o mais rápido
I would like to suggest the implementation of a specific navigation mode for wheelchair users (both manual and power wheelchairs).
Beyond allowing users to report the presence or absence of ramps, it is essential that Waze calculates the best possible routes based on accessibility criteria. This means avoiding paths with stairs, broken sidewalks, or steep inclines that can drain power wheelchair batteries or be dangerous for manual ones. We need a system that shows us the safest and most accessible path, not just the fastest oneGostaria de sugerir a implementação de um modo de navegação específico para cadeiras de rodas (manuais e elétricas).

Fix “add a stop”
This isn’t a new idea, just a quality of life update that needs to happen. Please fix the add a stop search feature that will not just look for any option fitting the search description but the closest on the route and display or notify how much time is added to the trip. If I am in a new area and I am looking for a particular food stop or something, say srarbucks for this example, every stratbucks in the usa comes up in the search but they aren’t sorted by the closest on the route but rather anything any where. When you are driving and trying to add this without needing to backtrack or guess if it’s on the route, it’s impossible and very distracting. 9/10 I close Waze and open apple maps to perform this and reopen waze after my stop.
Again, this is picking the fly poo from the pepper but this is something that need some love.This isn’t a new idea, just a quality of life update that needs to happen.

Waze navigation off on Android auto
When using Android auto, I need to pick up my phone and turn waze off on my phone to get Waze to not display on Android auto anymore WHILE I AM DRIVING! , so very dangerous and illegal in Holland to hold a phone in your hand while driving, why can't I just press a button on the display in my car (Android auto) to shut Waze off or at least stop the Waze navigation, with all other navigation apps i can shut the navigation down with a button on my car display, (it's not that you shut the app down, I just don't need the navigation part anymore) I never have to pick up my phone to stop navigation, with Waze I need to hold the phone in my hand while driving to shut down navigation, that's so dangerous (and illegal, I can actually go to jail if the police get me holding my phone in my hand while driving)
So again : is there an option to stop the Waze navigation by pressing a button on the Android auto screen without the need to pick up my phone ?

Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names.
Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names. Listening to a pronunciation of a street that is way off is rritating. Locals are going to know the correct pronunciation. I cringe every time I hear what I presume to be AI, butcher a street name.

Add building/unit numbers, please, so drivers could actually find you in a complex
My mom lives in a condo, and when people put her address in Waze, it drops the unit number; no driver has been able to find her unit using Waze. It automatically takes them to the clubhouse, and from there, they get lost for a few good minutes and eventually call for help. If you can't accommodate unit numbers, then at least add in building number options. That would be a great help. Thanks.

O conceito de integração de visualização aérea para apps de GPS, permitindo que o usuário 'decole' um drone virtual para analisar
O projeto propõe a implementação de uma funcionalidade de 'Modo Drone' nos aplicativos Waze e Google Maps. Através de um ícone interativo na interface principal, o usuário pode acionar uma visualização aérea dinâmica de um raio específico ao redor do seu veículo. O objetivo é permitir que motoristas presos em congestionamentos tenham uma perspectiva visual imediata da retenção à frente, auxiliando na tomada de decisão sobre rotas alternativas com base em imagens reais, e não apenas em algoritmos de fluxo.
