  1. Ability to lock screen while riding

    Whilst riding (motorcycle) in the rain, the rain can oftentimes register as accidental touches, causing unintentional actions (panning, changing destination etc).

    The option to lock the screen from accidental touches and perhaps a simple press and hold or unlock gesture to re-enable touches would help to prevent accidental/unintentional inputs and would reduce avoidable hassle whilst riding in (already) difficult circumstances

  2. Traffic Indication on UR reports

    When dealing with Update Requests, I'm seeing quite a few which has dubious waze navigation instructions where having an indication of the traffic levels at the exact point of the report being made would be quite advantageous.

    In this example, was the bad navigation due to traffic levels, or do we have a serious mapping issue? Can't tell with the limited amount of information made available by the UR report.

    Having such tools available would help greatly with managing the map

  3. Add an alert feature for vehicle driving in wrong direction on highway

    Hi,

    Recently in my neighborhood there was an incident where a southbound vehicle travelled on a northbound lane which resulted in a fatal accident. I have not been able to stop thinking about this incident.

    When this incident occurred, there were several calls made to 911 by commuters who noticed the vehicle driving on the wrong side. Is it possible that Waze could tie up with 911 or capture this information is some way and get an alert out to other commuters who are unaware of such a vehicle? Although this would not prevent this type of incident, it would…

  4. Change URL on edits link from zoom=3 to zoomLevel=19

    At this time, from the recent edits of a user is quite zoomed out, and could do with being zoomed in a bit. However, the URL uses zoom instead of zoomLevel, which means either a bit of typing or having to manually search the requested edit.

    For example, starting at https://www.waze.com/en-GB/user/editor/BeRoWaz I click edit and the URL looks something like:
    https://www.waze.com/editor?lon=-0.13972619910350798&lat=51.52628621696506&zoom=3

    I have to manually change that URL to something like:
    https://www.waze.com/editor?lon=-0.13972619910350798&lat=51.52628621696506&zoomLevel=19

    The request is that the URL is edited to be zoomLevel=19 instead of zoom=3

  5. Waze Map Editor rework

    Enhance the Waze Map Editor to emulate the user-friendly interface and intuitive features recently introduced in the revamped Google Maps road editor. The current design and user interactions within the Waze Map Editor, particularly when adding new roads, can be quite hard.

  7. Ability to add Funeral Procession in USA Maps

    Ability to add Funeral Procession in USA Maps. Recently I attended a funeral, and it was escorted by police cops. Police cops were directing traffic and managing it between funeral house and Cemtery.

    Waze can provide an ability to user where they can mark the Start (Funeral Home, Mosque, Synagogue, Temple, Church etc.) and cemetery and Waze adds an indication that there is funeral processing going on or will be going on.

    This will help other Wazers to plan accordingly

  8. Show only POI which are along the route to destination

    Show only POI which are along the route to destination. While a user is driving, typically user will like to see POS like Gas Station, Coffee Shop, Hair Salon which is along the route in SAME direction as his/her destination.

    Make UX simpler so user can pick POI which are along the route in 1, 2 miles or 5, 10 minutes increments.

  10. Sebességkorlátozás megváltoztatása

    Budapesten a Váci úton az M0 felé haladva az Óceánárok kereszteződés után van egy 60-as tábla, majd kb. 80 m után Budapest vége tábla, de a Waze továbbra is a 60 km/h-s korlátozást jelzi., ami helytelen. Kérem javítását.

  14. Mostrar la hora en primer plano como la hora de llegada

    Debería mostrarse la hora local a un lado de la hora a la que llegarías a tu destino. Viajo en mi moto, siempre me surge ver la hora, y tengo que deslizar la barra de notificaciones del sistema para hacerlo. Es tedioso y muy molesto, seria genial que la hora se mostrase en primer plano

  16. Please add covered bridge warnings like the train tracks warning you have. Lancaster Couny PA’s covered bridges are damaged by large vehicl.

    Pls add covered bridge warnings like the train track warnings you already have. I live in Lancaster County PA where such bridges are severely damaged by large vehicles that shouldn’t be on them.

  19. Enhanced Road Type Attributes for Improved Route Planning

    I’d like to suggest an enhancement to the Waze road attribute system to improve route planning in regions with diverse road types. Currently, Waze allows drivers to identify paved and unpaved roads; however, many cities, including mine, have roads with unique surfaces, such as cobblestone or "stoned" roads, which can significantly impact vehicle mechanics and increase wear and tear.

    Proposed Solution:

    Additional Road Surface Options: Include new road attributes, such as "Stoned/Cobblestone" roads, alongside "Paved" and "Unpaved."
    User-Selectable Avoidance Options: Allow drivers to choose to avoid certain road types like "Stoned" roads, which can affect vehicle stability and wear.
    Condition…

  20. Delayed Caused by Trains

    It would be nice to know when a train is stuck on the railways or there is a delay caused by trains. I sometimes end up in the longest traffic jam. Just to realize the train isn't over a certain section of road further down the other intersections. If it could suggest an alternate route or tell us "Rail road traffic jam reported up ahead"
