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.

After reaching my destination, when I unplug my iPhone from the charging cable and disconnect from Apple CarPlay, Waze continues running in the background unless I manually close the app.
I would love to see Waze automatically stop navigation when the phone disconnects from CarPlay.
Currently, the blue navigation arrow remains visible in the Dynamic Island on my iPhone 18 Pro, even after I’ve left the car and disconnected my phone.
It would be great if Waze could recognize when the iPhone disconnects from CarPlay and automatically end navigation, removing the blue arrow from the Dynamic Island.
This would make for a much smoother and more convenient user experience.After reaching my destination, when I unplug my iPhone from the charging cable and disconnect from Apple CarPlay, Waze continues running in the background unless I manually close the app.

הוספת דרך התנך לכביש 60
נושא: בקשה לעדכון שמו הרשמי של כביש 60 ל״דרך התנ״ך״ בכל מערכת Waze
שלום רב,
אבקש לעדכן את שמו של כביש 60 במערכת Waze לכל אורכו, כך שיופיע בשם:
כביש 60 – דרך התנ״ך
הבקשה מבוססת על כך שממשלת ישראל קבעה כי שמו של כביש 60 הוא מעתה ״דרך התנ״ך״, ובהתאם לכך כבר הוצבו לאורך הכביש שלטי דרך רשמיים הנושאים שם זה.
לפיכך, אין מדובר בהצעה להענקת שם חדש לכביש, אלא בבקשה להתאים את מפת וואיז לשם שננקב על ידי הממשלה ושכבר מופיע בשילוט הרשמי בשטח.
אבקש לבצע את העדכון לכל אורכו של כביש 60, ולא רק במקטעים מסוימים, תוך שמירה על מספר הכביש 60 ועל שמות מקומיים נוספים, כגון ״כביש המנהרות״.
כמו כן, אבקש לבחון את שילוב השם ״דרך התנ״ך״ גם בהוראות הניווט הקוליות, ככל שהדבר אפשרי מבחינה טכנית
עדכון זה יסייע ליצירת אחידות בין השילוט הרשמי בכביש לבין מערכת הניווט, וימנע בלבול בקרב הנהגים.
אודה לטיפולכם ולעדכון המפה בהתאם.
בברכה ובתודה

Feature Request: User-Selectable Routing Algorithms
Please introduce an option to switch between routing algorithms directly on the route selection screen.
Currently, Waze combines real-time traffic data with historical traffic predictions. However, historical patterns can be misleading because traffic conditions constantly change due to school holidays, roadworks, temporary traffic arrangements and other unpredictable factors. Even the same roadworks can cause severe congestion one week and allow smooth traffic flow the next.
I propose three selectable routing modes:
- Predictive – The current algorithm combining historical and real-time traffic data.
- Real-Time – Prioritizes actual speeds measured from active Waze users, without historical traffic predictions. Where live data is insufficient, standard road speeds could be used.
- Basic – Calculates routes using road characteristics and speed limits, without traffic predictions.
Users should be able to switch between these modes with a single tap and immediately compare the resulting routes and estimated travel times.
In countries with widespread Waze usage, real-time measurements can provide a more accurate picture of current traffic than historical predictions.
The goal is not to remove predictive routing, but to give users the freedom to choose which algorithm they trust.

1) I and I don't like the fact that once you put to destination you can only have one stop or one through road.

That should only be the case when you want to go to the village city hall, in which case you can program that. But as it is now, unless you literally pass by the city hall, where it goes crazy for twenty minutes trying to bring you back to that city hall even though you went through that village already.

It would be very good if I could set my destination and put as much as ten villages on the way to that destination so Waze takes me through the pretty roads.
