Loading Status
I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

Most Used Road Traffic Alerts
They should make a system of where if there’s traffic on your Most drived Roads Or Highways it should display a notification or alert once opening the app or when driving, if you know what i mean, I think it’s a neat idea.

Allow thumbs down in alerts nearby that are wrong or when tou missed clicking in time
I want to be able to click on an alert and have a way of saying that the condition is no longer there to save others this pain of a longer/slower route.
Background: We were routed to a slower parallel route because of old alerts for standstill traffic. We had full view of the interstate and there was no traffic jam. Our rerouted waze route had construction with flaggers and was several minutes slower

Real-time Border Wait Times & Dynamic Rerouting for International Travel
Currently, Waze lacks a dedicated feature for border crossing delays. While traffic is shown, there is no specific information about customs or passport control wait times.
I propose a consumer-facing feature that:
1. Visualizes specific border delays: Show a dedicated "Border Wait" timer on the route bar.Dynamic Checkpoint Comparison: If the main border crossing (e.g., a major highway) is congested, Waze should automatically compare wait times at nearby smaller border crossings and suggest a faster alternative.
Crowdsourced Wait Times: Let users report their specific "Time to Cross" so others behind them get an accurate estimate.
This is especially crucial for regions with reinstated border controls (Schengen) or high-traffic borders like US/Mexico or Hungary/Serbia.
Please don't treat this as a "Permanent Hazard" but as a dynamic routing feature! This would be a unique selling point that sets Waze apart from standard navigation apps.

Rua Íngreme
Olá equipe Waze.
O aplicativo é muito bom, mas acho viável a possibilidade de implementação de uma função para evitar ruas íngremes. Aqui em Belo Horizonte existem ruas que vão para o ceu. ***.1 vote -
Bring More Life & Personality to the Map Interface
It would be great to have optional map interface customization for users who spend many hours driving daily.
For example, offering different visual themes with richer colors, improved road contrast, more expressive lane guidance colors, and customizable map appearance modes (modern, minimal, vivid, classic, etc.).
Many drivers use navigation for long periods and a more customizable visual experience could improve readability, reduce fatigue, and make navigation feel more intuitive depending on driving style and personal preference.
The current interface is functional, but giving users more visual customization options would make the app feel more personal and adaptable without affecting the core navigation experience.

Pothole Buffer
We have some major potholes in our immediate area that is not being repaired. However, I need to re-add these big potholes every second day on the app, Is there a way to prevent the app from removing a pothole the moment the first user selects “Not there” from the app because they see the popup as a nuisance and not to update the hazard status. You need to ideally change it so that three or more users need to say that the particular pothole has been repaired before removing it. The same goes for other reported hazards.

Full HUD integration for VW Multivan T7 (Navigation Metadata & Lane Guidance).
Using a VW Multivan T7 (2025) with Android Auto, the Head-Up Display (HUD) does not show precise navigation data from Waze. While Google Maps displays dynamic arrows, lane guidance, and correct roundabout exits on the windshield, Waze only sends basic or generic icons.
Please implement full support for the NavigationTemplate and mapTemplate in Android Auto to allow lane assist and detailed turn-by-turn info to be projected on vehicle HUDs.

COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE
COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE
I suggested a communication system using an app, like Waze or Google Maps, which would allow those in a disaster area, including inhabitants, builders, and construction workers, to have access to current and site-specific traffic conditions and other relevant safety information. If WAZE agreed to set up such a program, everyone who uses the app could send and receive information on it. If it works well, it could become a pilot program for other disaster or emergency situations anywhere in the nation -- such as fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, gas leaks, major police activity, etc.I am a member of the Pacific Palisades Community Council (PPCC) Logistics & Traffic ATF established to finding optimal solutions for the rebuilding of the Pacific Palisades community after the disastrous fire that completely destroyed our city in January 2025.
A central component of the framework is the formation of PPCC Advisory Task Forces (ATFs) to ensure broad community representation, coordinated action, and consistent communication. The ATFs will provide community-based analysis and recommendations on recovery and rebuilding to the PPCC through a Community Recovery Coordination Council (CRCC), which is responsible for organizing and coordinating the overall framework.I believe that it would be an enormous advantage to establish a communication program that will allow those in the disaster area including the inhabitants, the builders, the equipment contractors, the construction workers to have access to the most current site-specific traffic conditions as well as other relevant safety information. With WAZE as the anchor of this program, one could include direct information for and from everyone that uses the application. I realize that it is not something that now exists but it would be something for which we could be a pilot program and be used for fire, Tsunami, earthquake, gas leak, major police activity throughout the nation in the future.

Go back to spoken alerts.
It is the opposite of safe that I have to take my eyes off the road to look at the screen to find out what an alert bell is about. And if I do not look the alert bell is essentially worthless. Go back to spoken alerts.

Unmarked police car option for map reporting
Where I live, there are unmarked police cars who are using radar guns to send tickets to people in the mail. Please add an “unmarked police car” option to the reporting menu so people can have the distinction.

UI Improvement for exiting to parallel/marginal roads (Visual Transition Zone)
Hi Waze team!
I would like to suggest a UI improvement regarding maneuvers where the driver needs to exit a main expressway to enter a parallel/marginal road.
The Problem: Currently, when the route requires leaving the main road for a parallel one, the standard purple route line often blends in with the main road on the map. Because the roads are right next to each other, it can be very confusing to determine the exact moment to switch lanes and take the exit, often leading to missed turns.
The Proposed Solution (as seen in the attached image): Create a distinct visual highlight for the “transition zone.” My suggestion is to have the route line change color (e.g., from purple to a bright orange/yellow, as illustrated) or become significantly thicker for about 300 meters before and 300 meters after the exit.
This would provide drivers with immediate, intuitive visual feedback that the upcoming maneuver is a transition to a parallel road, making it much easier to navigate safely without second-guessing the map.
Thank you for your time and for the great work on the app!

Truck map
Hi Waze. It would be a great idea if you could make maps for Trucks. Bridge height, bridge weight restrictions , length restrictions. Truck stops are not priority but would be nice to have. I use car play in my 40t truck with Waze but I use tom tom too, but I don’t Like TomTom. Sadly I have no choice but to use it 😂
