  1. Véhicule utilitaire

    Bonjour Waze,
    Utilisateur depuis vos débuts en France, je vous félicite — j’utilise Waze tous les jours dans mon activité d’artisan. Suggestion : ajoutez un profil « utilitaire » (hauteur, longueur, poids) et la possibilité de basculer entre plusieurs véhicules. Aujourd’hui, Waze ne distingue que Privé / Taxi / Moto et ne prend pas en compte les restrictions de gabarit. Il y a peu, je me suis retrouvé face à un tunnel limité à 2 m alors que mon véhicule fait 2,40 m : obligé de faire demi-tour, ce qui a considérablement rallongé mon trajet. Cette amélioration rendrait Waze…

  2. 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…

  3. Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)

    Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
    1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
    • Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
    • Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
    • Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
    2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
    • Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their phone screen.
    • Provide…

  4. 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 you

  5. 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…

  7. More voice warning before freeway exits, regardless of speed

    I noticed that the location of the voice instruction you hear before a freeway exit varies based on how fast you're going.
    Around 100 km/h, you get the voice instruction 1.5 kilometres before your exit.
    Around 80 km/h, you get the voice warning about 1 km before the exit.
    Around 60 km/h, you get the warning just 300 metres before the exit.

    It's the last one that I think is a problem. Some drivers rely mostly on the voice instructions either because we don't have a phone stand or because of restrictive laws regarding phone use while driving. And if…

  8. Amber colored checkerboard for local traffic only

    Hey Waze. Can you guys look into adding an AMBER colour checkerboard icon to denote restricted roadway in terms of lane reductions or open to "local traffic only", but not completely barricaded like what the red checkerboard would denote?

    It would be known as "local traffic only"

  9. HGV Fuel

    Add a feature to search for specific HGV fuel filling stations. Manyfilling stations can't accept an HGV due to access or height restrictions. Many filling stations have seperate filling pumps for HGV with a high flow rate as well as more headroom and no tight turns.

  10. Traffipax idősávos 22h-6h sebességkorlátozás

    Kedves waze egy weboldalnak a linkjét osztanám meg veletek ahol megtaláljátok Németország területén található traffipaxokat és a traffipaxok pontos leírását amiből értékes adatot nyerhetek. Az én észrevételem dresdenben belvárosában volt hogy az app jelezte a traffipaxot de hibás sebesség határt mutatott ugyanis a mi környékünkön elég sok hely van ahol esti korlátozás van érvényben este 22-6-ig 30km/h ezt kellene egyszer fejleszteni az app ban. a következő amit fejleszteni kellene hogy egy piros lámpa motívumot kellene rakni azokhoz a tafipaxok figyelmeztetéséhez ahol a trafi nem csak sebeséget mér hanem figyel piros lámpánál való megállást is amit persze ugyanezen a linken megtaláltok…

  11. Dynamically configure waze session based on Bluetooth connection (for motorbike/car/truck)

    Certain apps have the ability to detect what Bluetooth device is connected.

    My suggestion is to allow users to pre-configure different Bluetooth connections to different vehicular modes, for example, a Bluetooth headset may be used on a motorbike and therefore Waze could detect that this Bluetooth connection is present and set itself for motorbike mode, likewise, an in-car radios own Bluetooth connection could be configured for a car, and finally, a different Bluetooth connection could also be configured for a truck, I envisaged then that this would allow users to predefine certain options like toll passes, low emission zones and…

  12. Use my device's GPS accuracy to determine route stickyness

    I often find myself "stuck" to parallel roads because Waze routed me that way and I "must" be following the route--even though my GPS places me over 20m (65ft) away!
    When I go to Taco Bell on my way to work, it's so I can go through the drive thru, NOT so I can roll past the front door as Waze would have me do. But the 15m (50ft) out of the parking lot is "close enough" to assume that I'm following the route.
    This also happens when I'm trying to train Waze to take a longer route out of…

  13. when wazers are regularly exceeding the speed limit on non-highways, waze should stop sending people on that route.

    If Wazers are exceeding residential speed limits, it creates a hazard for everyone in that area. Waze should collect data about the amount of drivers who are exceeding speed limits and then restrict usage of those roads because it is a public safety issue.

    Drivers may be going through areas where there are children, joggers, bicyclists, and others who are now at risk because people are exceeding the speed limit while looking down at their phones to get the next GPS instruction.

I checked Waze and most of our locations are completely missing. I am unable to add any location because of the map editor restrictions regarding my physical location. As a business owner I should not go through all these hoops and bumps to get my business listed. I want to use Waze Ads, but I can't...

  15. Need for Brazilian app: new category for segment (viela) like (dirt roads)

    In Brazil government allow traffic in "viela", first "viela" is a drivable road normally between houses. At the moment this segment is categorized/translated as "pedestrian broad walk".

    I suggest that that a new type of segment is created "viela" for Brazilian app and Waze editor, since it doesn't share the same restrictions as "pedestrian broad walk".

    I also suggest the creation of a button like the existing "dirt road" since some drivers don't like to use "viela" to move arround.

  16. I want back the ALWAYS LIGHT MODE in CarPlay

    I have read that lots of people complained about not having dark mode.

    But I need the ALWAYS LIGHT MODE due to its much easier readability in CarPlay.

    Right now dark mode is enforced, because I have two options in CarPlay settings with IOS Waze 4.79: dark or automatic. In case of automatic when the headlights is switched on then dark mode is activated.

    It happens so EVEN IF I CHOOSE DARK OFF in the app settings on my iphone.

    Please revert to a 3-way solution in CarPlay:

    1. ALWAYS DARK MODE

    2 ALWAYS LIGHT MODE

    1. AUTOMATIC

    Dear Waze Team,

    I would like to suggest an important improvement to the app: adding a button at the beginning of each drive to select the type of vehicle – such as private car, truck, commercial vehicle, bus, etc.

    As a truck driver, I often get directed to roads that are not suitable for heavy vehicles – including narrow streets, bridges with height restrictions, or roads where commercial vehicles are prohibited. These situations cause delays, frustration, and sometimes even safety hazards.

    I believe this feature would greatly enhance the user experience and allow for more personalized and safe navigation.

  18. Avoid Specific Countries When Routing

    Hello Google Maps/Apple Maps/Waze Team,

    I would like to propose a very important routing feature that is currently missing from all major navigation apps:

    📌 Feature: Avoid Specific Countries When Routing

    Users should be able to select one or more countries they do NOT want to enter during navigation.
    Similar to “Avoid highways” or “Avoid tolls,” but for entire countries.

    Why this feature matters:

    In many regions (especially the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Middle East, etc.), some users are not allowed to enter certain countries due to political restrictions, documentation issues, or border regulations.

    Currently:
    • Google Maps/Waze/Apple Maps will…
