  1. Truck routes

    Waze dev team,

    Please consider an option for drivers (Waze users) to enter in their vehicle height so that Waze can provide them with suitable routes, avoiding routes with low bridges/clearance?

    This would be applicable for truck drivers, tradespeople with work vans and work equipment on roof as well as casual drivers with trailers.

    Reason for this is to avoid the frequent low bridge collisions or congestion due to truck having to back out of road.

    In Australia, prior to GPS maps such as Waze or Google Maps, we used to have truck edition of paper maps or map books…

  2. Scottish voices

    Please please please can we have the following options for voices Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Highlands accented voices with dialects. If you are from these areas and far from home then it’s a big thing to hear a familiar sounding voice. Currently there is not one Scottish voice at all and we feel left out

  4. Custom voice recording to be of higher quality

    The quality of the audio when recording a persons voice is horrible. It sounds like I'm speaking through a mic using wired earphones from the early 2010's. Please do whatever you can to make the audio sound like the microphone made by the manufacturer of the mobile brand. There have been so many complaints about this, outside of this forum and I can't believe it still has not been fixed yet.

  5. RPPs should allow alternate street names

    Residential Place Points are limited to a single entry for the Street Name field. This creates an issue when streets have multiple names, not just officially but also in signage at different intersections.

    An example, local to myself, is OR-99W. This is a state route, so it has its numbered designation (OR-99W), as well as its route name, which is carried through every city it traverses (Pacific Highway West). However, signage for this road in a single city can and does vary between either of those names, plus other, more localized variations (SW Pacific Hwy, Pacific Hwy (without directionals), etc.).

  6. speed camera

    You used to let us report Police -> Speed camera. For temporary speed cameras. Now we can only report police/visible or police/hidden. Not all speed cameras are permanent map features. Please reinstate this feature.

  7. An option to avoid minor / tertiary/ un named roads

    Can we please have an option for routing not using minor roads. These are often narrow, unsurfaced, roads, dangerous tootor cyclists, risking damage to cars and larger vehicles. GPS nav should assist, not cause undue stress.

  8. Add voice message to Update Request to reduce time reporting map errors to car drivers.

    Currently there is only text comment option which restricts the driver from adding details to the UR. Adding voice message could help to waze editor getting more specific information and minimize message asking additional information.

    This functionality improve URs resolution statistics.

  9. Add new saved place

    Adding new saved place works horribly. This feature should be available on long tap, as context menu. Now one has to search place by name, but guess what, not all places are available by name.Google maps implements this feature very nicely. Saved places should by displayable on the map. As a general idea, the UI looks very crippled compare to Google maps.

  10. Inclusão de Quebra-molas como aviso perene.

    Creio que as lombadas ou quebra-molas deveriam ter uma opção de alerta de obstáculo perene. Existem muitos deles sem sinalização formal e a opção perene, assim como radares, evitaria muitos acidentes.

  11. Display bridges on top instead of higher road type

    Currently in the app if a bridge goes over a higher road type, it makes it seem the higher road type actually goes over the bridge. This should not be correct as it makes the map look incorrect. A segment that has been mapped as a higher elevation should be displayed above any other segment.

    Example for this interchange:
    Instead of this: https://i.imgur.com/WhRYooz.jpg
    It should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/Gf6BI31.jpg

    We're already adding the necessary information for this feature when creating tunnel segments.

  14. Road closure automatic pop-up

    It would be nice, when we don't follow Waze instructions, that Waze automatically show a little pop-up to ask why we didn't follow the instruction. It would have, for example, 3 buttons: roadwork, closure, ignore. And if the user doesn't do anything after 10 seconds, the pop-up would just ignore and close.

    It happened multiple time to me that a road is closed, but because of circulation around and behind me, I can't really take the time to navigate in the UI to find the good option to signal it, and then, once I have the time, it's just too…

    May be considered  ·  AdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

    Hey, 

    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

    We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

    Thanks!



  15. Warn about slowing traffic ahead

    Please add a feature to warn of s lowing traffic ahead.

    When driving on the freeway, waze knows where we’re going, if the traffic is much slower ahead, a warning about slowing traffic would be very helpful and provide greater safety.

  16. Continue straight on highway

    Recently my Waze has been telling me to continue straight on highways every time I drive passed an exit. While the “continue straight” feature is helpful for major highway intersections, I find the continuous updates to “continue straight” to be distracting while driving.

  17. 3 differents driver profil

    Today, the user profile is not taking into account by the algorithm. I hope in the future Waze will propose, not only the fatest road, but the road adapted to the user.
    We will use for example 3 different profiles :
    - the busy driver : this will always proposes the fastest road but it will add more weights to highway where overtaking car is possible
    - the thrifty driver : always proposing the road with the cheapest path (combination of distance, height difference, ...)
    - the tourist driver: this will propose road with points of interest (monuments, landscape).

  20. Danger Alarm(Warn Dangerous Points in the Roads)

    Hello . I live in Iran. Every year in our country, 30000 die in traffic accident and many injure. There are some places in our roads that frequently accidents happen in the places. One place that I know is the entrance of our city from highway that sometimes bad accidents happen in there. This is because of the inaccurate and inefficient design of the roads. Those who are familiar with the place mostly ride carefully in the dangerous part of the roads, and accidents often happen for those that are unfamiliar with the road.
