Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

Stop auto re-routing to save nominal time.
Perhaps the greatest problem with Waze is when the inconvenience of taking a nonstandard route is not proportional to the time savings the new route provides. All too often I’m taken on an insane route in comparison to the normal one just to save two minutes.
I would like to prevent Waze from automatically rerouting (or suggesting an alternative “best route”) unless the new route saves 10 minutes of the total “mainstream” route time.
Perhaps people could choose different thresholds for reroutes.
I hate it when all of a sudden I’m rerouted in traffic on the highway to take the…

Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation with 3D illustrations
Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation
The current Waze display on the BMW X1's 8-inch screen utilizes the full space but lacks critical lane-level detail, especially during complex maneuvers. Implementing enhanced 3D illustrations for specific challenging road features would significantly improve driver clarity and safety.- Complex Interchanges and Lane Guidance For junctions where a simple directional arrow is insufficient, a dynamic 3D view is needed to guide drivers into the correct lane well in advance.
Motorway Splits and Exits:
Need: Show complex motorway splits (e.g., merging onto two separate dual carriageway A-roads) and exits.
Proposed Feature: Display a 3D-rendered…

Shadow the Hedgehog
I see you recently introduced Sonic as a Navigator and he's already super fun and gives me the happiest time while driving. I was wondering in the spirit of rivals, could we get a shadow version too to go along with it. Keanu Reeves, David Humphrey, Jason Griffith, or Kirk Thorton!

Better head-up-display directions at roundabout
The head-up-display shows directions through waze in my VW ID.7. At roundabouts it shows an arrow, instead of (part of) a roundabout with which exit to take.

satellite roads
I do understand the possible changes behind the scenes of the app but i honestly believe satellite roads is safer and more efficient for drivers as it provides a clearer view of the roads being driven on and not confusing drivers as it is confusing with cartoonish roads that nearly blend in together making it hard to understand which roads to take especially on highways. I have personally experienced not only myself but also seen other users of Waze experience missing exits and nearly and actually getting on to wrong exits because of the confusing “cartoonish” Waze maps. These situations…

Speed limit icon too small and it would be better on the left-hand side of the screen
I love ways, but these speed limit I got is too small and it would be better on the top left hand side of the screen better for visibility especially when you’re using Waze on your screen of the car

Give us the option to keep depereciated icons\voices
Please can you stop taking away the icons and voice that we like and just ask us if we want to pay something and just keep them, it costs you nothing once you've licensed the product\voice and I for one miss T-Pain but taking away my Ecto-1 is just a low blow Waze and I don't like that you're doing it without even giving us the option to keep it. you've made my Waze just that little bit worse today......

Road restrictions
Entering this idea as the previous "Road width restrictions" idea is closed for votes as implemented, even though it is not. Probably why its been omitted for several years.
Have waze allow map editors to include road restrictions, including width, height, weight, vehicle type, time based and temporary.
Allow users to include vehicle specifics in their route options.
The existing implementation uses the vehicle registration, but that only works in some countries and not the UK which has a lot of such restrictions.
Other routing apps have these features.

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…5 votes -
New report “Animal Help”
Hello Waze team,
I have an idea for a new type of community report that could help save animals and engage your users in a meaningful way.
The idea: allow users to mark the location of a stray animal on the map with a specific icon (e.g., a paw). Additional status stickers could indicate if the animal has food, water, or if it is in poor health. This would help local animal lovers and rescue organizations respond faster, while strengthening the Waze community spirit.
The report could expire automatically after 24–48 hours to avoid map clutter. It could also optionally…

Feature Proposal – Wildlife-Sensitive Navigation Layer for Waze
Subject: Feature Proposal – Wildlife-Sensitive Navigation Layer for Waze
Dear Waze Team,
I hope you're doing well. I would like to propose a feature idea that enhances both user experience and environmental responsibility.
The idea is to add a “Wildlife-Sensitive Zone” layer to Waze. This feature would highlight areas with known wildlife activity—such as migration paths, breeding zones, or protected habitats—helping drivers avoid routes that may disturb local ecosystems. It could also provide alerts when approaching such zones and suggest eco-friendly alternative routes.
This not only aligns with responsible navigation but also supports environmental sustainability. I believe Waze, with its…

Rutas Vehículos Eléctricos
Actualmente no planifica rutas para vehículos eléctricos como lo puede hacer ABRP. Ni siquiera te deja seleccionar vehículo eléctrico ya que solo deja elegir carburantes.
Estaría muy bien y sería una app casi completa si se incluyera un sistema de cálculo y rutas para vehículos eléctricos en donde la ruta se planifique con sus correspondientes puntos de recarga.
Creo que es un punto necesario y fundamental, ya que los vehículos eléctricos son el futuro y los de combustión están en un próximo proceso de extincion.5 votes -
Full visual lane guidance (like TomTom or Sygic)
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding full visual lane guidance to Waze, similar to what TomTom or Sygic offer.This means showing all lanes clearly on the screen, with the correct lane highlighted using arrows or lines, not just a small icon or short instruction.
The current Direction card with a lane icon is helpful, but not enough, especially when driving on highways or in complex intersections.
A visual guide across the screen would make navigation safer and easier to follow – especially for less experienced drivers or tourists.
Please consider adding this feature in future updates.
Thank you!5 votes -
