Allow multiple modes for route personalisation
The recent introduction of personalised routes based on previous routing/driving history is great - BUT - many drivers like me have several different driving styles - for instance a) driving around the speed limit b) driving slower to conserve fuel or enjoy the scenery c) driving a vehicle with lower speed limits, towing a caravan (travel trailer) in my case.
In a recent example, my history was all based on mode a) but then I went on holiday using mode c) followed by mode b) - this resulted in Waze giving non-sensical journey times despite trying to be clever and personalise the resuts to suit me.
The fact is that none of us use the same driving style all the time.
For the moment I've switched the personalisation off which means all routes are based on a) but hope that multiple modes will be introduced in the near future

Prezada equipe de supoimplementação de uma funcionalidade de planejamento de viagens por trem e metrô
Prezada equipe de suporte do Waze,
Gostaria de sugerir a implementação de uma funcionalidade de planejamento de viagens por trem e metrô, abrangendo todas as linhas da rede metroferroviária de São Paulo e da Região Metropolitana, independentemente da operadora responsável.
A proposta é permitir que o usuário informe a origem e o destino e selecione uma modalidade de transporte público sobre trilhos, recebendo um itinerário completo, desde o deslocamento a pé até a estação de embarque até o percurso final ao endereço desejado.
Para tornar essa funcionalidade tecnicamente consistente e útil no dia a dia, sugiro os seguintes recursos:
- Roteamento integrado entre linhas: identificação das estações de embarque e desembarque, sentido de circulação, estações intermediárias e transferências necessárias.
- Estimativa do tempo total de viagem: cálculo considerando caminhada, espera pelo trem, deslocamento entre estações e tempo de transferência.
- Comparação de itinerários: alternativas priorizando menor tempo de viagem, menor número de transferências ou menor distância de caminhada.
- Informações operacionais atualizadas: apresentação de interrupções, circulação com velocidade reduzida, alterações de horários e fechamento de estações, conforme disponibilidade de dados oficiais.
- Orientação durante o percurso: instruções por etapas e alertas de aproximação da estação de transferência ou desembarque, considerando as limitações de localização em túneis.
- Acessibilidade: opções de trajeto que considerem acessos adaptados, elevadores e eventuais indisponibilidades desses equipamentos, quando houver informações disponíveis.
- Integração com o deslocamento de automóvel: possibilidade de planejar parte do trajeto de carro até uma estação e continuar a viagem por trem ou metrô.
Do ponto de vista técnico, a solução poderia utilizar uma base georreferenciada de estações, acessos e conexões, associada a um mecanismo de roteamento multimodal. A integração com dados das operadoras, por meio de APIs ou padrões como GTFS e GTFS Realtime, quando disponibilizados, permitiria incorporar horários e condições operacionais ao cálculo dos itinerários. Seria relevante também indicar a fonte e o horário da última atualização das informações.
O principal benefício seria oferecer ao usuário uma visão integrada das opções de deslocamento, facilitando a escolha do percurso mais adequado e incentivando a combinação entre transporte individual e coletivo.
Solicito que esta sugestão seja encaminhada à equipe responsável pelo desenvolvimento do produto para avaliação de viabilidade técnica e eventual inclusão no planejamento de novas funcionalidades.
Atenciosamente,
Renato RosaPrezada equipe de suporte do Waze,

Vehicle profiles to avoid low bridges for larger vehicles and van speed limits
Many people are requesting this, and it is frustrating for the community to see the issue ignored rather than addressed. Consider how many drivers of vans or larger vehicles would gain from avoiding low bridges using height and width data.
Beyond that, UK speed limits differ between vans and cars, so a toggle would improve safety and help van drivers who are unaware of the distinction.
It is nearly 2027, and we have a popular, usable app that lacks this basic feature. If implemented, it could expand the user base and increase reported data, improving the quality shown on the maps.
There is no downside, so please consider adding these features to your app.

Waze SafeEscape – Emergency Navigation for Brake Failure and Uncontrolled Acceleration I would like to propose a new road safety feature fo
Waze SafeEscape – Emergency Navigation for Brake Failure and Uncontrolled Acceleration
I would like to propose a new road safety feature for Waze called SafeEscape, designed to assist drivers experiencing brake failure or uncontrolled vehicle acceleration.
Unlike regular navigation, which focuses on reaching a destination as quickly as possible, SafeEscape would calculate the safest feasible escape route based on the vehicle's current speed, road geometry, upcoming curves, intersections, and traffic conditions. The system could also consider uphill roads that may help reduce vehicle speed.
The feature would include three key capabilities:
Emergency Navigation: Real-time guidance toward safer routes, avoiding dangerous curves, intersections, and obstacles whenever physically possible.
Nearby Driver Alerts: Automatic warnings to Waze users whose routes may intersect with the out-of-control vehicle, allowing them to maintain a safe distance and reduce the risk of secondary accidents.
Emergency Services Integration: Quick contact with emergency services, with the potential to automatically share the vehicle's live location, speed, and direction through approved integrations.
The feature should support fast activation, including voice commands, while incorporating appropriate safeguards against intentional misuse. Legal warnings and user consent would be handled during initial setup to avoid delays during an actual emergency.
This proposal was inspired by the tragic 2012 Attias family accident in Israel, in which eight family members lost their lives following a severe vehicle control emergency.
The idea is simple: Waze should not only help drivers reach their destinations — it should also help them and others survive emergencies on the road.

Speed camera icons disappear on Android Auto when Auto-Zoom zooms out above ~100 km/h
With Auto-Zoom enabled on Android Auto, the map zooms out as driving speed increases. Above roughly 100 km/h the speed camera icons stop being drawn on the map. At lower speeds, on the same roads and for the same cameras, they are displayed normally, and they reappear as soon as the map zooms back in.
This is inverted relative to the purpose of the feature. The camera marker matters most on open highways at 100-140 km/h, where reaction time is short, and least in slow urban traffic, which is exactly where it currently still works. I drive mainly in the UAE, where fixed speed cameras are densely deployed and highway limits are high, so the icons disappear precisely where they are needed.
The only workaround is to turn Auto-Zoom off or fix the zoom level manually. That trades one core feature for another: you give up automatic zoom in order to keep camera visibility. Both should work together.
Steps to reproduce: connect to Android Auto with Auto-Zoom enabled, navigate on a highway with known fixed cameras, note the icons at 60-80 km/h, then go above 100 km/h and let Auto-Zoom widen the view - the icons are no longer drawn, including for cameras ahead on the active route. Slow down or zoom in manually and they come back.
Please keep speed camera icons rendered at all zoom levels, including the wider levels that Auto-Zoom itself selects at speed.

The WME chat hides the entire toolbar on the right side.
In WME, when opening the chat, the entire layers menu on the right side, as well as the ruler, Street View, my exact location, and zoom controls, are hidden behind the chat window. This forces us to interrupt an ongoing conversation and close the chat just to access these tools.
I suggest that when the chat is opened, all these tools should automatically move to a different position and remain visible and accessible, without requiring us to close the chat.

Road Color Coding
This would be especially helpful for motorcycle riders. Some skyways and expressways are restricted to motorcycles below 400cc, so riders can accidentally enter them when an elevated road and a regular road are very close together or overlap.
I suggest using a specific color for different road types:
🟪 Purple = restricted highway/skyway — motorcycles below 400cc not allowed
🟦 Blue = skyway/elevated road
🟩 Green = regular road available to motorcycles
🟧 Orange = underway/underpass
Purple would be better than red because red is commonly used to indicate traffic, congestion, danger, or road closures.The navigation ARROW should also match the color of the road being recommended. If the rider is approaching a restricted skyway, Waze could show the road in purple and display a clear warning such as “Restricted for your vehicle.”
This would make it much easier for motorcycle riders to understand which road they should take, especially at complicated interchanges where the skyway, highway, and ground-level roads are close together.
Color-coding restricted roads could help prevent accidental entry into highways that are not permitted for smaller motorcycles and reduce misdirection.
For the colors, its up to you, just choose a color that also helps color blind drivers

Improving Navigation to Residential Buildings in Abu Dhabi
Finding a new home or apartment can sometimes be challenging when the building entrance, parking access, or residential road is not clearly marked on a navigation map. This can be particularly inconvenient when moving into a new property or arranging a delivery.
It would be helpful if Waze could provide more precise directions to residential building entrances and distinguish between main roads, service roads, and access points where possible. This could make arrivals easier for residents, visitors, delivery drivers, and moving teams.
Have other users experienced similar navigation issues in Abu Dhabi or other cities? It would be useful to hear what improvements would make reaching residential destinations easier.
