Offer a "Known Enforcement Point" report
Offer a "Known Enforcement Point" report the way trapster does it. Report an area where police tend to hide and take radar.

Help Me!!! button
Deniss from forum suggested this idea: Waze should have Help Me Button, so a Wazer with car trouble can set his icon as needing assistance and another Wazer can see a fellow in trouble on map and help him out.

Add option "district/district name" in the street naming part
When a (bigger) city has several parts/ districts with different names, it could be nice to see at certain level of zoom the district name. When you zoom close enough, you should be aware of the city name already and thus district name would be imho more suitable.

ETA Only, Time Remaining Only or Both.
In the Settings there should be a feature to have the Main Screen show ''ETA Only'', ''Time Remaining Only'' or Both.
As it is now, the display switches between the two and the user has to keep looking at the screen to get the results they need.
This is NOT SAFE!
As noted on the Android Market, a lot of users want it to display just one or the other, not the schizoid way it is now.

Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.

School Zone Scheduler Improvements
The School Zone Schedule editing interface for both individual school zones and community schedules needs improvements. First and foremost, we should be able to import an ICS file, many school districts make them available to download/subscribe. This would drastically reduce the workload on map editors when it comes to updating the schedules each year, and if the right logic was applied, we could just subscribe the schedule in WME and the backend could look for student holidays, with editors able to verify those days.
The above would drastically reduce the need the need for the next part, which is the calendar picker. If I choose a start date in December, the end date should display December, and not the current month. Doing a range on a single calendar vs two calendar pickers would be ideal. Also having logic that looks at the previous date picked when adding a new date and starting in the same month would eliminate the need to click a bunch of times or type in the dates.

Average Speed Check
Subject / Title:
Clearer visual indicator for Average Speed Check zones (progress bar & average speed)
Description:
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a UX/UI improvement regarding the Average Speed Check zones (Average Speed Cameras).
Currently, Waze mostly relies on audio alerts for these zones, which can be easily missed. It would be extremely helpful to have a clear, prominent visual element on the screen so that a driver can tell at a glance (in a fraction of a second) that they are currently inside a speed check zone.
I propose adding a dedicated visual widget or bar that includes:
A progress slider/bar: A visual timeline showing our exact position within the zone and how much distance is left until the exit camera.
Current average speed: A dynamic display of the vehicle's average speed since entering the zone, helping the driver stay compliant with the limit.
A distinct, easily scannable graphical element (e.g., a colored bar or card) would significantly improve driving comfort and safety.
Thank you for your continuous work on improving Waze!

Cześć, zgłaszam sugestię ulepszenia interfejsu podczas przejazdu przez Odcinkowy Pomiar Prędkości (OPP). Aktualnie Waze ostrzega o nim głównie dźwiękowo. Przydałoby się rozwiązanie, które pozwala jednym szybkim spojrzeniem na ekran upewnić się, że wciąż jesteśmy w strefie pomiaru.
Proponuję wprowadzenie paska lub kafelka, który zawierałby:
Wizualny suwak/pasek postępu (ile drogi do końca nam pozostało).
Średnią prędkość z odcinka (dynamicznie wyliczaną, aby kierowca wiedział, czy jedzie przepisowo).Subject / Title:

Add Multitouch Support for Waze on CarPlay (iOS 26)
Starting with iOS 26, Apple officially added multitouch support for CarPlay apps (confirmed on Apple’s developer website).
However, Waze still doesn’t support multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom — which makes map navigation less intuitive and even unsafe while driving.Currently, zooming in or out requires multiple taps, forcing drivers to take their eyes off the road.
This is not only inconvenient but also reduces overall safety.It’s especially surprising because:
On Android Auto, Google Maps already supports multitouch, and it works great — smooth, natural, and safe.
Even in the Waze mobile app (without CarPlay), when the phone is mounted on the dashboard, you can easily zoom in and out with gestures. There are no + / – buttons, yet it feels perfectly intuitive.
So why does CarPlay Waze still miss this feature?
Why it matters:
Improves driver safety by minimizing distraction.
Makes Waze consistent with Google Maps and the Waze mobile app.
Takes advantage of Apple’s new CarPlay multitouch capabilities introduced with iOS 26.
Suggestion:
Please add multitouch gestures (pinch-to-zoom, pan, rotate) for Waze on CarPlay.
It’s already supported by iOS 26 and would make a huge improvement in safety, usability, and consistency across platforms.How many cars actually support multitouch?
Far more than most people realize — multitouch isn’t some brand-new feature.
It’s been standard in many cars for years, across almost all major manufacturers:Volkswagen Group (VW, Audi, Škoda, SEAT): since around 2014–2015
BMW: since 2015 (iDrive 5.0 and newer)
Mercedes-Benz: since 2016–2017 (NTG 5.5 and later)
Ford: since 2016 (Sync 3)
Toyota / Lexus: since 2018 (Entune 3.0 / Lexus Display Audio)
Hyundai / Kia / Genesis: since 2016–2017
Fiat / FCA / Stellantis brands (Fiat, Jeep, Alfa Romeo, etc.): since around 2016–2017 (Uconnect 4 and newer)
Renault / Nissan / Mitsubishi Alliance: since 2017–2018
Mazda: since 2018 (Mazda Connect Gen 2)
Volvo / Polestar: since 2016 (Sensus system with touch interface)
In short — millions of cars on the road today already have multitouch displays.

Speed Bump & Speed Camera
I was travelling by road in Oman and noticed many of the Speed Bumps & Speed Camera locations are not correct.

(2) When I driving along Interstate highways, and am looking for a Coffee or eating place along the Route, it is usually looking ahead. I don't want to drive back 20 miles to have a coffee. I am looking for a Coffee stop ahead. (3) Show rest stops as most other apps do. (4) Show Traffic Lights and gas stations

Police (Median)
We need a “Police (Median)” alert that warns traffic in both directions on an interstate. Police (hidden) and Police (other side) don't always apply. This alert would warn traffic in both directions of the interstate or divided highway, since most police run front and rear radars simultaneously.
