Allow junction boxes to include RoundABout exits to prohibit illegal route suggestion possibility.
This is not about lane control, it is to attempt to prevent in Australia, left/next exits on some Roundabouts when a dedicated exit is missed.
The are RABs that you can not take the first exit on, you had to have taken an exit lane before the RAB.
It would be useful to be able to restrict these particular exit choices when required. A JB would be drawn to cover the area and be allowed to restrict that particular A-B.
Thanks.

Driving with speed limitation, caravans for example.
Dear Waze Team,
First of all, thank you for an outstanding app that continues to improve travel experiences worldwide. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly benefit drivers who tow caravans or trailers – or who, for any reason, are legally required to drive at lower speeds than regular traffic.
Currently, Waze assumes standard vehicle behavior and speed limits. However, in many countries (such as across Europe), towing a trailer legally restricts drivers to lower speeds – often 80 km/h on highways, regardless of the posted limit. This discrepancy affects both estimated time of arrival (ETA) and route…

Bus land alert for london UK and street restrictions of timings
Waze need to show when ever rider is about to reach bus lane or on a roade where bus lane is there , remind to avoid being in the bus lane.
It would be very helpful if shows restrictions before entering any street like .. 7 to 9 am we cannot enter like this . It would really impact a lot on driver skills.

Commercial Trucking
It’s 2024 and many truck drivers are you biggest users. There are other apps but none have the community base, live updates, live events, updated closures. It’s time that truckers get the best of the best of driving apps. Garmin navigation is the biggest but are rarely updated and do not have LIVE updates. It’s time that you add trucking to your menu and all the restrictions because Waze has better updates than all apps. Maybe acquire another app and make it happen. It’s 2024 and us truckers are your biggest users and we are tired of depending on…

It would be nice to have options for delivery vans, 3.5 tons up, some roads are unsuitable for us and some we are not allowed to enter, but the app takes us through them and if we are not vigilant enough because we trust the app we get tickets, some have access restricted and our vans can get damaged using such roads.

Create a Partner Data Feed for GIS-based Street Sign Inventory
Many municipalities are importing/moving their street sign inventory into their GIS system. Since many Waze map attributes are based on visible street signs (speed limits, one-way streets, turn restrictions, school zones, street names, etc.), it makes sense to allow municipalities to upload their sign locations and have some koi-fish-style validation of those signs against the existing Waze attributes.
For the initial upload, where signs differ from the Waze attribute, Map Issues or Map Suggestions could be created to have WME editors verify the differences and make any necessary corrections.
On an ongoing basis, as new signs are posted and…

EMERGENCY FIRE RESPONSE ASSISTANCE
Hi Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature called “Emergency Fire Response Assistance” to help firefighters reach fire incidents faster and improve traffic flow around emergency scenes.
This feature could allow authorized responders to tag a “Fire Incident Zone” with the exact address, providing quick routes that avoid traffic and obstacles. Nearby users would get alerts to take alternative routes, helping clear the way for responders.
Additionally, dispatch centers could send real-time updates to firefighters (like building entry points or obstacles) for more precise navigation. Once an incident is resolved, responders could mark the area as “clear,” lifting any…

Hi
So i have two suggestions for you, first one is that adding a road refresh future / botton (manual and automatic with 5,10,15,20, intervals) which refreshes the road a head so if there is a traffic change in road a head it changes the directions (with the sound that alerts you that "road refreshed" ) , of course if you are near the next turn or something like these it doesn't change this turn or direction and changes further ahead.
The Second one is that adding something like a custome map which you can add or share a restricted…1 vote -
Personal features layer
Adding map features requires approval/access/high enough map editor level.
I suggest adding support for a 'personal' layer in Waze.
On that, everybody can add anything, change anything, without restrictions, but will only show for you (your account / the Waze on your phone / ...)From the Waze perspective, that allows you to mine for information harder to get, to be potentially shown on a 'Community' layer or even the main map (after maybe some extra vetting)
For example, you can mine all the 'Personal' layers for things by looking for features that multiple people, independent of each other,…

Max speed trip estimate
I drive an road e-bike, which has a max speed of 32kmh due to legal restrictions in Ontario. It would be great if we could specify a max vehicle speed and Waze could take that into account when estimating how long it will take to arrive at a destination.

waze for bike trails using Columbus, Ohio as a testing ground.
Bike trails serve as transportation networks, not just recreational routes. Therefore, it's important to communicate to riders about trail hazards that might effect their commute time such as high water on the trail causing need for reroute, areas where sight lines are restricted due to over growth of vegetation, fallen trees across the trail, security concerns, potholes and more. We'd love to test such a feature in Columbus, Ohio!

Thank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

Green Wave Zones
Hello everyone! I really regretted that the Waze development team ignored the users request and did not develop to the Average Speed Zone (ASZ) remaining time slot indicator. I continue to support the idea that there should be indikator, some kind of speeding explanation is not appropriate here. If needed, the indicator can be rounded (e.g. like the EU required false speedometer displaing) or some other a bit fuzzied indication can be shown. However, it would now be a suggestion to take advantage of the built ASZ logics and use exactly the same functionality for the up Green Wave Zone…

Pop-up obscures junction box on southbound routes.
When a route through a junction box is generally southbound, the pop-up for that route (voice prompt, restrictions, switch route, difficult turn) obscures the junction box itself. This is a big pain when you are trying to use the Switch Route feature and you cannot see the route markings behind the pop-up. A handle to move the pop-up, or any other solution to keep the pop-up off of the junction box polygon would be helpful.

Please allow to place markers at a specific location!
This is especially useful for marking cops. Often times, I am unable to quickly mark their location and when I do it's usually a few streets down which can misinform other drivers. Or when you're busy, you don't want to be distracted at that moment to place that marker.
It would be great if we can place markers after the fact. Even if it has to be restricted to within a 1-2 km radius.
Otherwise great app!

Zooming
Please let people zoom out or in as far as they want to not restrict zooming sometimes it is necessary to see the states that you’re traveling through for instance I carry concealed I need to see the states that I travel through and I cannot zoom out far enough to see the individual states please fix this as soon as you can
In other words do not restrict zooming you should be able to zoom out as far as you want please do not restrict this feature thank you2 votes -
Contextual road navigation elements
Waze (so far) does not fully account for overall road context in navigation. We've (ie. my partner and I) have found it treating all roads equally when picking a route, whether urban, rural, wide, narrow, usually parrtially blocked by parked cars, etc. So, I suggest adding a set of options to the system and the navigation algorithm which allows weighting by road type. This could be selected or deselected manually by the user, with some default setting sets (ie. "Prefer Highways", "The Scenic Route", etc).
Based on roads we've used, we suggest the following classifications:
Highway
Fast-moving multi-lane road with…1 vote -
Blue light routing
Allow for emergency drivers to configure routing to ignore restricted roads/signs which they have a legal exemption for decreasing response times to those in need!
