Ajouter les aires de repos et de services précis pendant la navigation
Ce serait vraiment pratique si Waze affichait toutes les aires de repos et de services directement sur la carte, pendant une itinéraire sur une autoroute française et toute autres pays ou dans les routes nationaux.
Pour l’instant, l’appli ne prévient pas quand une aire approche. Ce serait top d’avoir une notification quelques kilomètres avant, pour nous dire qu’il y a une aire pas loin.
Cette notification pourrait aussi lister ce qu’on y trouve, par exemple :
- des toilettes
- une aire de jeux
- des stations-service (avec les marques disponibles)
- des restos et fast-foods
- des bornes de recharge électrique
- et d’autres services (suivant les panneaux réels que propose sur l'autoroute et toute autres pays & sur les routes nationaux)
L’utilisateur n’aurait plus qu’à taper sur le bouton bleu « Ajouter un arrêt » pour ajouter cette aire à son trajet, sans devoir recréer un nouvel itinéraire ou risquer de perdre sa navigation en cours. Ou d'utiliser l'assistant Google pour aller dans une prochaine aire de repos PROCHE.
Avec une fonction comme ça, les conducteurs pourraient mieux planifier leurs pauses, leur essence ou leur recharge, et les longs trajets deviendraient plus confortables et plus sûrs.

Mixed Toll and Toll-Free Route Planning
Instead of only "Avoid toll roads" for the entire trip, let users choose which route segments can use toll roads and which should avoid them. This would provide much more flexible and cost-effective route planning.

Ukraine case
Dear Waze Development and Product Team,
I am writing to you as a loyal Waze user from Ukraine. I drive a subcompact car with low ground clearance. While I appreciate the app's real-time traffic updates, Waze's routing algorithms in Ukraine have repeatedly led me down roads that are physically dangerous for my vehicle. I have already suffered costly damages to my car’s oil pan and suspension because of this.
Today, I was once again routed through a road that is completely unsuitable for low-clearance cars. I would like to highlight the specific issues with your current routing logic in regions with developing road infrastructure like Ukraine, and suggest key improvements:
1. The "Crossover/SUV" Speed Fallacy
In Ukraine, compact SUVs (locally called "parketnyky") are highly popular. These vehicles can easily maintain a speed of 70–90 km/h on heavily damaged or potholed roads.
The Problem: Your algorithm sees this GPS speed data and assumes the road is "good." In reality, for a low-clearance subcompact, these speeds are impossible, and the road is a hazard.
The Reality: In Ukraine, a truly "good" road is characterized by average speeds of 90–120 km/h. An average speed of 70–90 km/h usually indicates a road suitable only for SUVs. Please reconsider how speed limits and actual user speeds define "road quality" in your routing algorithms.
2. Implement a "Low Clearance / Subcompact" Vehicle Profile
Currently, the option to "avoid difficult/unpaved roads" does not solve the issue, as many paved roads in Ukraine are severely deteriorated but not classified as "dirt roads."
The Solution: Allow users to select "Low Clearance / Subcompact Car" in their vehicle profile. The routing algorithm should then heavily deprioritize secondary or poorly rated paved roads for this profile.
3. Pothole Density Algorithm
Currently, users can report individual potholes.
The Solution: If multiple pothole reports are flagged by users on a single short stretch of road, the algorithm should recognize this not just as "potholes," but as a completely degraded road. Such segments should be automatically flagged as "difficult" and excluded from standard routes.
4. Offline/No-Signal Reporting Limitations
In many remote or poorly maintained areas in Ukraine, mobile internet connection is unstable or non-existent. Users physically cannot report potholes in real-time. This means the worst roads often appear "clean" on your map due to a lack of reports.
Incorporating these changes would not only save many drivers from expensive car repairs but would also make Waze the undisputed leader in smart routing for eastern European markets.
Thank you for your time and dedication to making navigation safer.Dear Waze Development and Product Team,

Waze representatives can mark a location for users to follow up if they need more information and the users can get points or rep or something like that for answer the questions. Kind of like Google does when it asks about a place you visited, but strictly traffic related.
I reported a one way road that waze was trying to have me go down the wrong way to a park parking lot. The rep asked if the road on the other side was one way in. Since I was trying to go into a lot that's further in the back (the first lot is just where the address points to and I was passing by it), I didn't catch look for anything on the other road.Waze representatives can mark a location for users to follow up if they need more information and the users can get points or rep or something like that for answer the questions.

Mark a location while driving for follow up for an issue
I know there's a similar idea, but no option to expand on it (maybe other users being able to expand on these suggestions would be good as well).
Basically, you mark a location, Waze gives you an option, to maybe record or voice to text a quick note so you can remember what the concern was later (maybe even say how much later), AND have some kind of indicator within the app or an email that will remind you later.1 vote -
Portrait mode AA small text and sign icons
Having issues with AA on my portrait screen in my Silverado. In the upper left hand corner the text and road signs are almost impossible to read because they are so small.
On landscape mode displays Waze is fine. Also if I load Waze on the Radio and use WIFI it is alright. It is just when running Waze within AA.

Give weighted route options for safety
Add a routing preference called “Prefer Major Roads” or “More Predictable Route.”
The app frequently recommends rural two-lane roads, neighborhood streets or poorly serviced back roads to save less than one or two minutes. These theoretical savings are often erased by farm equipment, school buses, slow vehicles, no-passing zones, poor pavement, difficult intersections or temporary delays that the routing model cannot predict.
Please allow users to select a tolerance such as:
“Prefer divided highways and major roads when they add no more than 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes.”
The route calculation could consider:
• Road classification and number of lanes
• Divided versus undivided roads
• Passing opportunities
• Historical speed variability
• Road surface and width
• Cellular coverage and nearby services
• Lighting and intersection complexity
• Known crash patterns, where reliable data is availableThis would be especially valuable for families, young drivers, older drivers, commercial travelers, recreational vehicles and drivers traveling through unfamiliar areas.
The goal is not necessarily the shortest or theoretically fastest route. It is the most predictable, comfortable and appropriate route within the user’s chosen time tolerance.

Speech Enhancement over Ducking needed (Disability friendly!) for Android Auto Waze - please do not duck or lower volume of ongoing music!
Hello. Waze unfortunately aggressively ducks any other audio, such as Spotify or the Radio (radio/sirius used to be left alone!), which is dangerous and affects people with disabilities or sensitivity to sound, such as people who have autism or are neurodivergent. The sudden change in volume that was otherwise constant is highly disturbing and can overwhelm our processing, which is the last thing you want to happen while driving!
Please be kind and put a setting options for Waze to leave any volume alone and NOT duck any background noise automatically and arbitrarily. A better option to have, if needed, is for the Waze navigation speech volume to INCREASE instead and TALK OVER the ongoing background noise, such as what would happen in real life when someone like a family members calls your name while you're engaged in an activity. This is far less intrusive and is safer.
Please consider this change. I don't know if this will get any visibility as it touches on disability, but please consider this user friendly enhancement. Thank you!

Feature request: Please allow Waze links (deep links) to include multiple waypoints or a forced route. This would make it much easier to share routes that intentionally avoid city centers, low bridges, weight restrictions, or other obstacles. Many drivers with trailers, roof cargo, campers, or trucks need to follow a specific route rather than simply navigate to a destination. Being able to share a complete predefined route would greatly improve safety and usability.

Proposal: Integrating Gemini in Waze as a Proactive Safety and Peace-Enhancing Tool
Hello Waze Development and Innovation Team,
Following recent announcements regarding the expansion of Gemini's AI capabilities within Waze, I would like to submit a core concept aimed at saving lives, built on the fundamental premise that the ultimate goal of every journey is to return home safely.
This initiative proposes leveraging Gemini's natural language processing and continuous presence to serve as a vital safety factor. The core value of AI lies in its sustained, high-level performance, allowing it to actively compensate in real-time for temporary lapses in human performance (such as fatigue, stress, or distraction).
Through short, contextual, and proactive voice prompts, the system can gently refocus the driver during critical moments, functioning as an active safety net until autonomous driving fully mitigates human error.
I welcome the opportunity to share the concept summary with the relevant professional teams within your organization.
Sincerely,
Dudu Efrat.Hello Waze Development and Innovation Team,

Option to have the closest street address displayed constantly instead of just the street you're on
Lots of first responders use and rely on Waze for navigation. We always have to be aware of our exact address in order to accurately communicate our location to Dispatch. There should be a setting that, rather than just displaying the street you're currently on all the time, it always displays the closest address. I.E. instead of just saying "5100 East" as you're driving down the road, it should continuously update the house number: "2571 N 5100 E"

Cadillac Lyriq
Australian-delivered right-hand drive Cadillac Lyriq MY25, Waze as an app via Android Auto / Google Play store.
Due to the enormous (like seriously huge) display in this car, the map is orientated too far to the right, so that much of the directional information and the speed displays are obscured by the steering wheel; it also makes the response buttons to acknowledge an incident or hazard almost too far away to reach to touch the furthest side of the screen.
Can you please review the appearance and either address the off-centre nature or address the more likely issue which is that it's essentially backwards, and should be made mirror image of the current layout?
Really appreciate it. Have used Waze for a long time via Apple CarPlay, this is the first experience of being able to have Waze as a standalone app on the car directly - and I love the concept, but just need some support to refine the user experience please.

Add a button using carplay
Add a “report via voice” button on the bottom right of the map. I’m in the UK so drive on the right. So to reach over and press report button, then the furthest button away is report via voice its not easy to do while driving. A one tap button on the bottom right would make this MUCH quicker. And get rid of the voice that speaks first.. I want to make my report quickly not wait with “thinking” on the screen, then for someone to speak to me before I can report.

Anti-Rubbernecking Alert: Active voice prompt to prevent "curiosity" traffic jams
The Problem:
One of the main causes of heavy traffic jams on highways is drivers slowing down to look at car accidents ("rubbernecking"), even when the accident is on the shoulder or a completely different lane and does not block the traffic flow. This behavior creates "phantom traffic jams" that waste millions of driving hours and increase the risk of secondary rear-end collisions.The Solution (Feature Request):
Develop a smart, location-based alert system that activates when the following conditions are met:Detection: Waze's algorithm detects a significant slowdown near a reported accident, but also recognizes (via user reports or historical data) that the lane itself is open.
Active Alert: About 2000 meters before reaching the point, the app will play a clear and proactive voice alert (instead of just showing an icon on the map).
📢 Suggested Voice Prompt:
"Traffic ahead is caused by drivers slowing down to look at an accident. Your lane is clear, and emergency services are already on site. Please maintain your speed and keep driving safely."Why this is effective:
Behavioral Shifting: Many drivers slow down subconsciously. A direct, explicit voice alert breaks this autopilot behavior, making them aware that they are contributing to the gridlock.
Improves Traffic Flow: Breaking the chain of slowdowns for even a small percentage of drivers will prevent the domino effect and clear the jam much faster.
Safety: Reducing sudden braking near accident scenes will significantly lower the risk of chain-reaction crashes.
