Australian TTS voice Kylie is only available while I'm in Australia - why region-lock voices?
We live in a world where people aren't restricted by country borders, and so it's always frustrating when you're faced with a feature or an app on your phone that's not available simply because of where in the world you might currently be.
I'm Australian and have really embraced using Waze over Google Maps over the years. One of the reasons this has been so easy is because of Kylie, the TTS voice I have selected. However, when I go to another country Kylie suddenly stops being available and Waze sounds British or American with no option to change it…

Council/Government Area Re-Routing
So Queensland recently had restrictions on the Greater Brisbane Region, this comprised of restrictions on the local government areas of Ipswich, Brisbane, Logan and West Moreton.
Now I live near a corner boundary of the Ipswich LGA, and once you travelled into the LGA it was random police checks, higher restrictions, etc.
In the first day they even put police roadblocks on major roads in and out of the area.
Now in line with that, as this seems to be the "New Normal" as some of our politicians are saying, is there a way to program Local…

Navigate toll roads even when pass not entered in settings.
I live near the Georgia, USA, I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. When a user enters the Express Lanes without a corresponding pass in settings, Waze acts like the road doesn't exist and keeps offering turns as if they were on the main highway, going the opposite direction, on nearby surface streets, etc. After entry there are very few ways to exit the Express Lanes, and it's unhelpful to have suggestions to turn around or to exit from the main highway when you're in the Express Lanes. Perhaps Waze could recognize that the user is on the road, stop freaking out…

Optimization Proposal for Waze – Integration of Support for Buses and Trucks
To enhance user experience and expand the app’s target audience, it is recommended to add dedicated support for heavy and public vehicles such as buses and trucks. This feature would include the following components:
Customized Driver Profiles – An option to select the type of vehicle: truck, bus, private car, motorcycle, etc.
Tailored Route Planning – Routes would consider height and weight restrictions, specific traffic signs (e.g., "No entry for trucks"), and restricted access zones.
Integration of Dedicated Lanes – For buses: display of bus-only lanes (such as BRT or HOV lanes) and incorporate their availability into route planning.

Commercial routing
Commercial Route option; helps avoid roads and highways that either limit by weight or commercial vehicles in general.
I utilize a commercial vehicle mainly by label in Connecticut and they restrict routes for these vehicles. Waze doesn’t know that and impossible to navigate around

I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account.
I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account for closed/restricted roads or HOV/toll preferences correctly, voice directions are inconsistent, and certain app features or settings fail to respond. Even after basic troubleshooting (restart app/device, check permissions), the issues persist. Improvements in these areas would make Waze more reliable and user-friendly.

Mark the boundaries of small and big ring for bad emissions control in Sofia, Bulgaria
There are restrictions for cars with 1 and 2 eco group to go in small and big center rings in Sofia, Bulgaria. It will be very helpful to make an option to show these rings, and people can avoid entering the zones.

Vehicle type restricred highway alert
PLEASE...When a route includes a restricted road, like the Merritt Parkway, pop up a flash screen that advises no trucks busses or trailers are permitted on the roadway and require acknowledgement. Illegal vehicles are being routed into these road because users either don't care or don't know how to set up their waze.

"open data"
there are multiple open data feeds for cities, Like for Toronto:

Update SF Directions ASAP
Please update some of your SF directions ASAP. As a passenger in Lyft or Uber, I can tell you that Polk Street has not been updated with all of the new turning restrictions that were put in over 6 months ago. Also, one of the main thoroughfares, Market Street, will no longer be available to cars as of next Wednesday, 1/29.

About night toll road
About night toll road
It's a toll road in the daytime, but isn't there a free road at night?
In the current Waze editor settings, if it is set to a toll road, it is currently not possible to make the drive free for the specified time by adding restrictions.I want you to change the setting to make it free at night even on toll roads.

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.

OMG - the evac zones and traffic disruptions need to be report. So many people can not travel the 5 freeway right NOW ! HELP
If people could report the evac zone and restricted traffic on the 5 could of prevented people going to work or drop offs for school. NOW all north bound traffic is stuck.
PLEASE allow us to give fire and evac notices ... this is a only route for some school and many people use this route for work. A warning would of allowed people to take work off or leave early to avoid the danger and the closure....1 vote -
Allow the app to work without google play services/store/post it on github
As Google will be breaking normal downloading and forcing a lot of android users to use the app store (which is already a pain), and if this happens a lot of users who use android exclusively for the lack of restrictions will move away from android to open source forks which possibly won't even support google services at all...
Please post a version of Waze on github with its own internal services/dependencies! (Similar to how it works on Apple, no?)
Clippy grows larger every day...

♿ Disabled Driver option
At the moment, there is nothing in Waze to help Disabled drivers when it comes to roads that are restricted to disabled drivers, car parks for disabled people, or tolls that are have different charges for disabled drivers. This causes wrong information such as toll costs and wrong directions to be returned. There is only limited POI information (wheelchair accessible) which only displays as text when you select a POI rather than be searchable and selectable.

Automatic Protection Against False Report Modifications
I would like to request a feature that detects and restricts users who repeatedly remove or modify valid reports, such as police presence, without a legitimate reason. In some areas, authorities have been clearing active reports intentionally to hide their locations, which reduces the reliability of Waze information for other drivers.
It would be beneficial if Waze could implement an automated system to identify frequent false removals and take appropriate action (e.g., warnings or temporary bans), helping maintain the accuracy and trustworthiness of the reporting system.
