I am pleased to hear Waze ties with Garmin Live Track to show cyclists. Recommend Wahoo also; as a cyclist, how can I help?
I lost a friend and had many injured in Saturday’s drunk driver crash in Apex NC. I see Waze is now showing cyclists via Garmin’s live track. I suggest that’s about half the picture; recommend adding Wahoo’s similar live tracking. Also, how can I help? I ride with rear radar and front and rear cameras, lights, and bright clothing. Anything I can do to be more visible, I’m all for it.

URGENT - cyclists as pins on the road is more dangerous to cyclists
Hello, cyclist of 20 years. I road my first half century in 2005 on a mountain bike. In 2006, I bought my first road bike. I love people getting out on bikes and having a good time. Yet I also heavily modify my cycling (than just staying in the bike lane) to deal with dumb drivers who learned different road 'rules' (in order to have not been hit by a moving car in the 2 decades I have been riding for).
I would like to share my concerns with this PR announcement made today 10 Nov 2026 on instagram (with the help of Garmin’s API).
https://www.instagram.com/p/DfkCtnDFbk8/
Sharing exact pins of where a nearby cyclist is; might be about good intentions. However it is ALSO implying to drivers where cyclists ARE NOT on the road (by the absent of any pins). What I mean by this is Waze is telling drivers to be complacent that they are on a stretch of road that doesnt have any cyclists. Scary? You should be scared.
I have been navigating without any GPS for years and will continue to do so. The average cyclist around me might have a basic bike computer but how many actually are broadcasting their GPS location? 1%? 0.001%? Yes you might encourage other companies to share GPS locations but you will never have full picture of how many cyclists are on the road at a given moment.
Rather than sharing pins: ONLY share that a car is driving along a popular cycling road (based on time of day, day of the week.) At 01:00am, there likely will be no cyclists; but Saturday morning at 09:00am, there will be cyclists on that same stretch of road. Communicate that to drivers (they are in a high concentration of cyclists 'on their route there is an significant increase of cyclists’).
Now lets talk about cyclist physical safety from bad actors. I purposefully don’t transmit my GPS location or use public/private facing route information. I am not trying to establish patterns of life and protecting myself against a company from being hacked. Road rage is usually not premeditated but the individual(s) who bring pellet guns and drive around to find cyclists are looking for trouble. Either group, the Waze app will enable to be more persistent and more violent towards cyclist. (I assume this last cases of violence are even more remote of a chance but Waze is making it easier to track someone.) (I have had one experiencing where I had evade an enrage motorist. Cutting quickly through neighbourhoods and taking pedestrian only paths to make myself scarce. This is within the states. I also know someone who has been shot at with a pellet gun. I consider both of these instances to be in affluent neighbourhoods and quite safe to navigate under normal conditions.)
Please do not open yourself to being weaponised or increasing risk to cyclists. Unfortunately federal regulations usually happen AFTER dead bodies have been piling up. Instead think carefully about what you are actually doing here.

Bonjour,
Cela m’arrive déjà plusieurs fois : je reçois une alerte « véhicule sur le bas-côté ». Lorsque j’appuie sur « Oui » pour répondre, cinq alertes pour le même problème reviennent ensuite.
Ce serait bien de corriger cela : une seule alerte devrait suffire pour le même problème sur la route. Merci d’améliorer ce fonctionnement.1 vote -
prevent secondary collisions and save lives
Hello,
Following today's tragic 50-vehicle pile-up in Bulgaria, I'd like to suggest a potentially life-saving feature.
Could Waze and Google Maps use smartphone sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS) to automatically detect accidents and immediately alert approaching drivers?
Cross-checking signals from multiple nearby devices could help prevent false alerts.
Such a feature could prevent secondary collisions and save lives, especially in large highway pile-ups where every second matters.
Thank you for considering this idea!

Trucker gps I drive a truck for a living
I drive a truck for a living and it would be awesome to have the trucker route option available that avoids roadways that don’t allow trailers/ commercial vehicles. In New York waze will put you on roads you cannot be on with trailers so i always have to run another gps alongside. Having a Trucker route option available would also bring a lot more users

Add “Studded tyres” setting to avoid prohibited streets
Please add a vehicle setting: “My car has studded tyres”. When enabled, Waze should automatically exclude streets where studded tyres are prohibited, including when recalculating a route during navigation.
This is particularly useful in Stockholm, Sweden, where some streets have studded tyre restrictions. Drivers need a legal route from the start, rather than discovering the restriction when they reach a road sign.
Please also display these restrictions on the map and warn users if their destination cannot be reached without entering a restricted street.

linke&mittlere, linke&rechte, rechte&mittlere Spur gesperrt als Unterkategorie von gesperrte Spur
ich war gestern unterwegs, da waren die linke und die mittlere gesperrt aber die rechte frei. dann musste ich zweimal melden einmal das die linke gesperrt ist und dann noch die mittlere und das während dem Auto fahren war ziemlich riskant und auch nervig. gerade auch auf Autobahnen nützlich wenns von 3 auf 1 spurig geht, was bei mir im Süden auf der A8 durchaus schonmal vorkommt. Einfach als Unterkategorie bei Gesperrte Spur

lane closed
Dear Waze Support Team,
I would like to suggest a small but potentially very useful improvement to the hazard reporting feature in the Waze app.
I have noticed that users frequently report a lane as being closed (left lane closed / right lane closed), even though, in many cases, the actual situation is simply a lane narrowing or roadworks. In my opinion, this is largely due to the way the reporting menu is currently structured.
When users want to report a hazard, the first option presented is "Lane Closed". To select other types of road hazards, users have to navigate one level deeper into the menu. I suspect that many users simply select the first available option without exploring the additional categories.
This can lead to inaccurate reports and potentially confuse other drivers who rely on Waze for up-to-date traffic information.
I would therefore like to suggest one of the following improvements:
- Add a more prominent reporting option such as "Lane Narrowing" or "Roadworks" directly to the first level of the hazard reporting menu.
- Alternatively, move the "Lane Closed" option one level deeper, making other, more general road hazard categories easier to access.
The aim would be to encourage users to select the most accurate description of the actual road situation, thereby improving the overall quality and reliability of Waze traffic reports.
I believe this relatively simple adjustment could help reduce incorrect lane closure reports and make Waze even more useful for the entire community.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this suggestion. I hope you will find it worth looking into.
Best regards

Nursery/Daycare Zones
Hi Waze Team and Community,
Waze has done an incredible job with the roll-out of School Zone alerts. I would love to suggest extending this logical safety feature to include "Nursery/Daycare Zones." While school zones are vital, nursery zones present unique risks that warrant distinct hazard mapping:
1. Vulnerable Pedestrians: These areas see a high concentration of parents handling strollers, toddlers, and infants, who move much slower than older schoolchildren.
2. Different Peak Times: Nursery drop-offs and pick-ups are often scattered throughout the day rather than concentrated in rigid morning/afternoon windows. Allowing Level 4+ Map Editors to map permanent polygon hazards for certified nurseries and preschools would significantly. improve local road safety.

Improve visibility of recommended lane indicators
Improve visibility of recommended lane indicators
When Waze advises which lane to use, the lane arrows can all appear white, with the recommended lane shown primarily as a slightly thicker or bolder white arrow.
On some screens, the difference is negligible and can be difficult to identify quickly while driving. This can require longer or repeated glances at the navigation screen to determine which lane is recommended.
It would be much clearer if the recommended lane could be highlighted, shown in a different colour, or otherwise made significantly more distinct from the other lanes. Ideally, there could also be an option in the settings to enable or customise this highlighting.
This would make lane guidance clearer and easier to understand at a glance, particularly when approaching busy roundabouts and junctions.

Bring back the chat box or comments on reports / Reintroducir la casilla de chat o los comentarios a los reportes
The chat feature is important because it allows users who are at a specific location on the road to provide more accurate details about what is happening. For example, they can specify which lane an accident occurred in or exactly where a vehicle has broken down.
Recently, we experienced a situation where there was a traffic jam on the road, and the only report visible in the app (besides heavy traffic) was that there was an object on the road. What had actually happened was that a tree had fallen, completely blocking the road. Having a chat box or the option to comment on reports would have helped clarify the situation and provide more useful information to other drivers.

La función del chat es importante para que quienes están en un punto determinado de la vía puedan reportar con mayor precisión lo sucedido en la carretera. Por ejemplo, en qué carril fue un accidente o en dónde está varado un automovil.
Recientemente nos sucedió que había un trancón en la vía y el único reporte que se podía ver en la aplicación (además del tráfico pesado) era que había un objeto en la vía. Lo que había sucedido era que un árbol había caído y no había paso. Con la caja de chat o los comentarios en los reportes, esto se hubiera sabido mejor

Subject: Feature Request – Color-Coded Roads Based on Toll Requirements for Passenger Cars
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a useful improvement to the Waze map display, especially for drivers of passenger cars.
My suggestion is to display roads in different colors depending on whether a motorway vignette is required for passenger vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.
For example, in the Czech Republic:
- Green: Motorway sections where passenger cars are required to have a valid motorway vignette.
- Blue: Toll-free motorway sections and roads for motor vehicles where passenger cars do not need a motorway vignette.
- Other roads: Keep their standard map colors.
An important point is that toll requirements for passenger cars are different from those for heavy goods vehicles. Some roads are subject to truck tolls but remain free for passenger cars.
These colors should be visible directly on the map, even when navigation is not active.
This would allow drivers to immediately recognize which roads require a motorway vignette, making route planning easier and helping avoid accidental use of toll roads.
Ideally, this feature could be enabled or disabled in the map settings and adapted to the toll regulations of individual countries.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
