Feature Suggestion: Truck & Travel Trailer Routing Mode
Hi Waze team! It would be incredibly helpful to add a dedicated routing option for trucks towing travel trailers. This feature could generate safe routes that account for:
- 🚫 Avoiding sharp or narrow right turns
- 🚧 Identifying height restrictions and bridge clearances
- 🛑 Bypassing roads with trailer or truck limitations
This would go a long way in improving safety and convenience for recreational drivers and towing vehicles. Thanks for considering!9 votes -
Hello, please add option 'Emission level' so waze will be able to calculate route due to EU standardat ( example - Euro 4)
Hello,most of countries now began now to restrict cars with high pollution emissions in big cities so i would say its compulsory to make waze able to calculate route compared to user cars emission level ! In this way of ideas everyone who owe old cars ( for example Euro 3) will not enter in cities where car can not meet emissions standars, hope i was clear ! Please add in future option : Car Emission level ! Thanks

Car height option in settings
Add a extra setting on car height because it can be a variable like with a roofbox. So you can adapt your route depending height restrictions (tunnels or parkings)

On Screen Button Size
Android Auto on Ford F150 8.2" display. Buttons for "still there" and "not there" for reported hazards have a height to width ratio of about 0.16. Very difficult to press correctly as the finger moves up/down with vehicle movement. Button is too narrow.
Suggest that the "there" "not there" buttons have a H to W ratio closer to 1.0. Same screen space will be occupied, but buttons will be much easier to press.

Eliminate police speed check reporting in residential neighborhoods
Allow POAs, HOAs, and other residential communities to provide WAZE with information to create a geofence around the community that can restrict POLICE reporting. All other features could remain in place.
Our community is loaded with children and the money we spend on speed patrols is wasted through the ability to notify other speeders, through Waze, as to the whereabouts of the speed traps within neighborhoods! There is a major difference between speeding in residential neighborhoods vs highways and city streets. Think about how this could save children. Exclude residential neighborhoods.

Waze traffic alarm
Every time I leave my office or my house, I need to review on waze my alternative routes, the problem is, that most of the times .. im on a hurry and i forget to review the routes, and even though waze has all the information needed to select the best route alternative, I dont have the time to review it and choose the best route with all the available waze information.
Wouldnt it be great if I could set an alarm for a certain time (mornings, or when I leave the office) and that waze provides me a full…

Screen Alerts South London Restrictions
Please, please provide Camera alerts for as short as one hour road entry restrictions eg in rush hour times in London. Results in PCN fines of £65. These experimental road layout changes are frequently changing (over the last 3-4 years) and the simple “Speed camera” type alerts which pop up on the screen would be really really useful! Waze plans the route well to avoid I believe, but we are sometimes tempted to ignore, thinking we know better!
As experienced London drivers know, we have favourite routes developed over a lifetime, so these time-based one or two hour restriction…1 vote -
Suggestions to Improve Waze UX/UI on Carplay
Two things I've noticed are causing issues (for me, personally at least) when using Waze for CarPlay.
1) I have to continually enter the zoom menu to zoom back down to the right distance...not ALL the time, but enough that I think it's probably a bug, and just wanted to mention it.
and most importantly...
2) The Notification/alert system is fundamentally broken IMO, because it essentially hijacks the navigation screen. It removes the arrival time, time remaining in your trip, and the distance you have left in your trip. These are details that I personally don't want to disappear for…

Less restrictions for map editors
It is absolutely insane that map editors still have to ask the reporter for the exact street and cross street to complete edit requests and map updates! I have been a member since 2009 and I still can not ever remember specifics because I have a life outside of making Waze reports and notations. Also, the “navigation history” which map editors refer you to, does not have every turn. Please fix this so that users will want to report more instead of just getting frustrated.

Waze truck
Hello. Waze could implement a GPS feature for trucks, such as restricted areas, rotations, roads that have space for long trucks like trailers. I believe this feature would help thousands of truck drivers like me.

Where restricted roads are included in the suggested route PLEASE offer alternatives. I have just been on a hideous drive to Fulham SW6
Please add alternative routes where restricted roads are included in the drive

show public transportation routes
We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion,…7 votes -
Vehicle Type - Van to be added
Under Vehicle Type in Settings, Could there be a vehicle type for Vans that shows the correct speed you can go on certain roads, as in the UK Vans are restricted on speed on certain types of roads like on a national speed limit single carriageway it 50mph for a van instead of 60mph, aswell as a dual carriageway it’s 60mph instead of 70mph.

Regarding construction work with long-term time restrictions
Regarding construction work with long-term time restrictions
The current road closure is a specification that the long-term road closure will start from what time and end by what time, but with this, it is difficult to set 07:00 to 17:00 every day for 3 months, WME Advanced Closures I want you to change to various specifications

Heavy traffic duration display issue
I'm driving a Volvo XC40 with a Sensus operating system which famously displays Android Auto/Carplay on roughly half of it's 9" vertical screen. This means CarPlay has a width of 748 pixels, and this leads to a problem with how Waze displays how long I'm sitting in heavy/standstill traffic. Since I don't see any image upload option here, I'll use an image hosting service to point out the problem.
When using Waze in full screen, the app cannot display the heavy/standstill traffic duration: https://imgur.com/a/a45VG9F
The only workaround is using the app in Split Screen mode: https://imgur.com/HjpCsIG
It would be nice…

Allow crucial specifications for everybody
Every truckdriver and caravan driver is desperately waiting for Waze to launch the ability to:
1. Define these type of vehikels
2. Define speed restrictions (like allowed speed 80 or 90 km/hour)
3. Have local weather info om the waze screen
This would expand the use of Waze immensely. Waze would be much more attractive to advertisement AND we would be more than willing to pay for a ‘pro verspin’ with these crucial features!5 votes -

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my old…5 votes -
