Waze is putting drivers' lives at risk!
Waze is putting drivers' lives at risk! For about two weeks now, hazard warnings on the road have completely disappeared. You can see other Wazers, traffic, and traffic lights, but hazards are nowhere to be seen. The issue is on Waze's servers following some update, and thousands of users are left without warnings. I live in a country with poor infrastructure and endless road construction. I have used and trusted this app for years, but the problem is not being fixed, putting my life in danger. It is time for an alternative because, aside from expensive car repairs, I fear for my health and safety, as well as the lives of the people around me.

Let me set a toll limit.
Let me set a dollar limit for a route. It will find the fastest route including toll roads where the estimated tolls are under the limit. Maybe I could set a $10 limit or $20 limit, for example.
This is especially helpful in the northeast where we have toll bridges - so 99% of the route is toll free, except the bridge. If I toggle toll roads off, I’ll be taken to the ash end of nowhere to find a non-toll bridge. But if I could set a limit, then it will find the fastest route with the lowest tolls including the bridge.

Group drive function
It would be great to have the ability to add users to your group, then when driving anywhere you add them to your route. When the lead driver makes changes it updates for all in the group. Potentially others in the group track the lead driver, or the destination that is controlled by the lead driver.

Navigation
Jeg syntes Wasa er den bedste navigator der er lavet, men jeg kunne godt bruge at man kan sætte tid eller afstand til før den forslår en ny rute.Feks. Den først forslår ny rute efter en besparelse af 5-10 eller 15 minutter, eller 5-10 eller 15 kilometer.

Multiple Vehicle Profiles – Select Your Vehicle Before Navigation
Allow users to create and save multiple vehicle profiles (e.g. Family Car, Company Car, Truck, Motorcycle), each with its own settings. Before starting navigation, Waze could ask which vehicle the user is driving, or allow the user to select a vehicle profile.
This would ensure that Waze automatically uses the correct settings for the selected vehicle.

Audible speed camera alerts
Unfortunately the Waze support team insist I post a suggestion despite it being posted numerous times already and it being ignored completely..
We NEED audible speed camera alters regardless of speed. I find myself staring at the screen far too often to see when there's a speed camera approaching on the motorway and find this unsafe. I would feel a sense of calm having an audible alert EVEN IF I am going below the speed limit.
How would the app react currently if I'm doing 70mph, near a speed camera and then accidentally just go over by 2-3mph just as the camera is approaching? The app would have displayed an alert on screen but would not have triggered the audible speed camera alert in time since I'd be going over the limit.. I'd be left with a speeding fine.
This could be avoided completely by giving US, the users and community the choice to have the speed camera alerts on regardless of speed or only when above the speed limit.
Also, what the car detects as 70mph, the app sees as 67-68mph and is not in sync. This creates a huge problem in itself.
Why leave a margin for error?
Why create an environment where users are spending more time staring at a screen looking for a speed camera on a motorway, taking their eyes off the road??
Why restrict what drivers can and cannot hear?Why can we not decide for ourselves what alerts we want to hear and when?
Why does it have to take multiple suggestion posts and multiple votes for something soo incredibly critical to be recognised and implemented.
I've submitted this at the request of the Waze support team who were not interested to help despite being informed of several pre-existing suggestion posts.
I would request for every member of the community to upvote this suggestion so some action can finally be taken.
We must have audible speed camera alerts regardless of speed. Give us a toggle to active this if you must.

The most economical way
It would be great if Waze could recommend the economic route when starting a trip.
It could include altitude variations, flux/stops of the traffic (ie if there’s a lot of traffic lights vs a more continuous route) and also the average speed and road type.1 vote -
Waze offline cache
Feature request: Automatic offline fallback for active navigation
When a user starts a route while connected to the internet, the app should automatically cache enough information to continue that active trip if mobile data is lost.
The phone would still have GPS, so it could continue following the already-calculated route locally without needing live traffic or server-side routing.
Ideally, the app could also cache a small road graph around the route. If the driver misses a turn while offline, a lightweight local routing algorithm such as A* could find a path back to the original route rather than requiring a completely new online route.
When internet connectivity returns, normal live routing and traffic updates could resume.
This would make navigation much more reliable in areas with temporary cellular dead zones without requiring users to remember to manually download offline maps beforehand.

Hgv support
Not really suitable for HGVs at the moment.
The live traffic and hazard alerts are still class-leading, and the vehicle-type option is a nice start, but the routing isn’t reliable enough for trucks, it keeps sending you down roads with height or weight limits.
A feature no other HGV satnav has would be live truck-to-truck clearance sharing, where drivers could instantly report the exact height or weight they just cleared under a bridge or restriction, updating the map for everyone in real time.
Even better would be the ability to flag roads that other maps mark as legal but are impractical or unsuitable for HGVs in reality.
That alone would make Waze the safest option on the market. Please add support for HGVS!!

Shared Route Responses
I suggest adding more options to the respond que once someone shares their route with you. Currently, "Thank you" and "I'll be right there" generally don't make sense when clicking on their icon on their route. "Thanks - Drive Safe" or "See you soon!" or maybe, "Bring Ransom Money/ Beer/ Milk/ Candy." 😊

Add an option to always choose the fastest route
Hello,
Waze frequently suggests routes that are not the fastest, even when time-saving alternatives exist.
French Decree No. 2022-1119 of August 3, 2022, which imposed specific rules on navigation assistance services, was annulled by the Council of State on September 27, 2023.
Why does Waze continue to apply criteria that can lead to the exclusion of the truly fastest route?
Please add a clear option—"Always prioritize the fastest route"—that allows the user to select travel time as the sole criterion.
Users should be able to decide for themselves which criterion they wish to prioritize.1 vote -

Check point
“I would like to suggest adding a dedicated ‘checkpoint’ report option in Waze. Currently, users can only report ‘police’, but checkpoints are different and deserve their own category. A specific checkpoint report would provide clearer and more accurate information for drivers, while keeping reports organized. Many users would find this feature useful, especially in areas where checkpoints are common. Thank you for considering this suggestion.”

The ability to change vehicle type
Being able to select "van" or "commercial" would be beneficial as the motoring laws change based on the vehicle your driving. Such as vans or car derived vans speed limits in national speed zones are -10 (60 dual carriageway) and some zones and roads either restrict commercial use or entirely forbid it.
