Avoid specific street or area
Add the option in the settings to avoid specific areas, the functionality already exist as you already have the features of avoiding toll roads, dangerous zones, and complex intersections, so just add the functionality to avoid custom areas, for example a specific street or city i dont want to pass through
42 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Suggestion: Expand “School Zones” into a Broader “Sensitive Areas” System
Waze already has a great and effective feature: School Zones.
Instead of creating new isolated features, I’d like to suggest expanding this existing model into a broader category called “Sensitive Areas.”
The idea is to reuse the same zone logic (visual boundary + contextual alert) and apply it to other high-attention environments.
Possible New Zone Types:
- Hospital Areas
Frequent ambulance traffic
High pedestrian flow
Need for increased driver awareness
Example alert:
“You are entering a hospital area.”
- Flood-Prone Areas
Roads with recurring flooding history
Could trigger alerts during heavy rain
Prevent vehicle damage and improve routing trust
Example alert:
“This…

Add In Car notification for Map Issues Request
With prevalence of In Car integration for Waze the large number of Map Issue being reported is done via Android Auto or Car Play.
When editors or as of now automated ping requests additional information there is no notification to the User through the In Car integration that this has occurred the user will need to check email through which they can't reply or the app, which most in car users don't open.
Can we have the notification for the user in car and what would be even more helpful is to give user ability to reply via voice to…

Sort traffic events alphabetically
(This idea was originally raised by kndcajun at the 2026 NA Mega Meet-up.)
When duplicating recurring traffic events, especially events that happen around the same areas and times every year, one needs to navigate page by page to find these traffic events. It would be helpful to have a feature where you could sort them alphabetically.
For example, New Orleans area has over 30 parades each Mardi Gras season. Each one has to be managed carefully, including finding last year's to duplicate, then updating for the new year with any changes.
Currently, scrolling down the list to find a specific…

LPR
I would like to see a feature where I can tag an Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR/LPR) as a hazard to ensure drivers are aware of cameras being utilized in their area. Thank you

Have a checkbox for "Cash Only" instead of or as well as "Accepts Credit Cards" in the Services menu
As most businesses accept credit cards, I feel like a more applicable option to select would be for "Cash Only" as that is very important information to know about a place before heading there.

Make editors able to place down Pothole hazards in WME
As of right now, you can only add a road hazard in the map, then a bypasser doesn’t see the pothole and mark it as “Not there” which removes it.
There should be a feature in WME that lets us editors add potholes which we know exist there, more permanent ones.

Partners polygon layer
Hello,
Thanks to the Waze for Cities program, we are happy to have more and more partners, either for road management (Connected Citizens) or for event management (Global Event Partners).
For those who do not know the details, you should know that a partner benefits from one or more polygons that characterize their rights area (data flows to or from Waze, closures, MTE).
The community being very involved, and always on the lookout for modifications to be made in WME, or closures to be programmed, it often happens that our closures or our editions conflict with their closures.

LPG (GLP) stations
I would like to suggest adding LPG (GLP) stations as a specific fuel category in the app. In the Dominican Republic, a large percentage of vehicles run on LPG, and it is currently difficult for users to locate these specific stations quickly. Adding a dedicated filter or icon for LPG would greatly improve the navigation experience for thousands of drivers in the region.

Add my GPS speed data into "Your Drive" drive sessions
It would be nice to see my speed over the road segments in the saved sessions in "Your Drive" and probably color code the segments where I was too slow or too fast for the speed limit on that segment. I think if I am reviewing my drives and found that there are colored segments, I could probably easily tell that the speed limit on that road has changed and suggest and update to the maps. Or at least have a proof that I was a good boy and didn't speed up.

Add bicycle and pedestrian options for 'walking distance' so Branded Pins can show local businesses.
Some areas have some many local businesses that may not 'advertise' per se, but have a lot to offer. These 'hidden gems' may not be known to 'passers through' or visitors. This could help sustain and local businesses that are great to visit on foot.

Suggestion: Display Lane Guidance When Driving Without Active Navigation
I would like to suggest a useful improvement for the Waze app, especially for driving without an active navigation route.
Currently, when a user is navigating to a destination and approaches a complex intersection or a multi-lane junction, Waze displays the lane layout and highlights the recommended lane for the route.
My suggestion is to display similar lane information even when the user is driving without active navigation.
When approaching a multi-lane intersection, Waze could show the available lane directions on the screen, for example: left lane for turning left, second lane from the left for left turn or straight,…

Informacion Sobre semaforos.
Buenas,
Quería proponer una mejora relacionada con los semáforos que se pueda ver en la app de mobil que seria muy util, actualmente en Waze están como elemento visual en el mapa, pero no aportan información útil en la conducción.
Creo que sería muy interesante implementar información más “inteligente” sobre los semáforos, por ejemplo:
Aviso de semáforos con ciclos largos (los típicos que te hacen esperar bastante)
Indicación de si un semáforo va a cambiar pronto (especialmente útil en ciudad)
Posibilidad de mostrar un contador o estimación del tiempo restante en rojo/verde (si hay datos disponibles)
Aviso preventivo de semáforos…4 votes
