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.

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.

Jeunes conducteurs
Je poste l’idée de mes enfants : il serait intéressant qu’un parametrage soit possible pour adapter les limites de vitesse affichées en temps réel, en tenant compte des limites de vitesse des jeunes conducteurs. Par ex, que Waze affiche « 110 » comme limité au lieu de « 130 » quand le mode « jeune conducteur » est activé …
Voilà, cela permettrait d’améliorer la sécurité et le confort de conduite pour nos jeunes conducteurs.

Do not cancel driver reports for mis-taps
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.
Problem solved: Prevents Wazers from having their attempts to help totally aborted due to mistakes, which is discouraging, frustrating, annoying, demoralizing, and may discourage Wazers from submitting future reports.
Discussion:
When a user opens the report feature on a mobile device, they are presented with a collection of icons to choose from. If, because they are driving and trying to pay attention to the road, they happen to miss the target and accidentally tap the space between icons, the report display cancels out. Now they have to restart the process, and by restarting, assuming they are still in motion, the report will now be in the wrong location. This also results in extending the time the driver is interacting with Waze instead of driving.
If a user has the report feature open and is not sure which category to choose from for a specific situation, they will try one of them. If it turns out the category they chose does not work (or if they tapped the wrong one by accident because they are driving or hit a bump or whatever), the natural intuitive action is the tap the “back” button so they can go back one step. However, as above, attempting to go back also completely cancels out the report process. So, as above, if they try again, they are spending even more time interacting with Waze than was necessary, and of course the report will also be in the wrong location.
FIX 1: While in the report flow, do not close the process if the user taps into blank space between icons. Just be patient and let them try again.
FIX 2: While in the report flow, do not close the process if the user taps their “back” button. Instead take them back to the previous screen so they can try to complete their intended action.
MAINTAIN: While in the report flow, if the user clear taps the map display, go ahead and close the process (this is current functionality).
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.

Alert police on both sides of the road
Currently, waze only provides an alert when approaching police on the same side of the road. In Australia, police will check vehicle speed in both directions. Waze should have the option to provide alerts when approaching police on the opposite side of the road.

Police Alerts
A police report should notify drivers when driving within a certain radius of the report and not just for drivers that are traveling in the direction of the report. This would be very beneficial on highways and eliminate the need to report police twice for both sides.
To make this make sense, if you’re traveling southbound on a two-lane road and you make a police report, it will only alert the southbound traffic, not the northbound.
