Add warning for common speed trap area
Similar to the warning given in areas where there is a density of car crashes, the app should provide a warning when users enter an area where there is a historical high density of speed traps reported regardless of whether there is an active police warning or not.

חניה באזור היעד
נושא: הצעת ייעול – התראה והכוונת חניה חכמה לפני ההגעה ליעד
תיאור הבעיה
כיום, בעת ניווט ליעד, הנהג מגיע לעיתים קרובות עד לנקודת היעד המדויקת ורק אז מתחיל לחפש חניה (חניון או חניה ברחוב / כחול-לבן). כתוצאה מכך, הנהג חולף על פני מקומות חניה פנויים בדרך, ונאלץ לבצע סיבובים נוספים באזור כדי לחזור אחורה, דבר שגורם לעומס בכביש, לבזבז זמן ולתסכול.
הפתרון המוצע
להוסיף אפשרות מובנית במסלול הניווט שמזהה הגעה לקרבת היעד ( למשל כ-300–500 מטר לפני היעד הסופי) ומציעה לנהג באופן יזום
1. הכוונת חניה מוקדמת: הצגת חניונים מומלצים או אזורי חניה מועדפים הקרובים ביותר ליעד, עוד לפני שעוברים…1 vote -
List (and filters) for Crisis Shelters in Side Panel
Since we have been able to create and push [crisis] shelter pins on our own, managing them has proven to be a challenge.
What I would like to see is a sub category for "Shelters" in say the Events side panel for where we can have filters (like within other WME side panels) that would allow us to show/filter through what's open, what's closed and be able to click through to that location to turn it off/on
We now have a good list of past shelter centres, which are often the same during the next emergency, so having this filterable…

What do you think of creating icons for speeding cars?
There should be like four icons showing their directions such as North, South, East and West. This can inform all Waze users of speeding and reckless drivers that can endanger other drivers.

Avoiding unsafe areas
In South Africa there are areas that are unsafe , I suggest a feature that can avoid those areas on your trip with a custom radius

Add 'Custom' or 'Other' category for Permanent Hazards to cover undefined road conditions
Expand the Permanent Hazard categories with a "Custom/Other" option to allow editors to flag segments or points with unique, life-saving warnings that don't fit existing labels—such as low-hanging branches, flood-prone causeways, or unexpected dead ends—ensuring the map stays accurate and safe for every type of vehicle and terrain. A short description (e.g. 3 words) can describe the Hazard

New camera type: Illegal turn
The number of camera type have been increased lately which is good, but I miss an 'Illegal turn' camera type. Since we have red light cameras and stop sign cameras we also need an illegal turn one. These monitor wheter you make and illegal turn or in a multi-lane intersection you violate your lane's instructions (turn right from a straight only lane etc.)
I think these, just like the red light camers and bus lanes cameras are international.7 votes -
Add start/end for average speed zones in WME and take them into account in the app
We need two new PH camera types for average speed zone start and end detection or a similar approach, which would allow the editors to map the start and end of average speed sections on top of the existing flag for the segments. The cameras would serve the following functions:
Indicate the start of a zone or a section in the zone - to be used for the alerts in the app instead of the segment flag. This would improve the accuracy and the experience for drivers who join the zone/section in the middle, including in residential areas where the…

Map Display - Hotels
Would be helpful for Waze to display on cell/vehicle map area hotels, just like you do with filling stations. Garmin does it.
Justification: It's troublesome having to stop the vehicle on the side of the road just to search the web for local hotel locations while on a road trip. Quite time consuming.

Don't detour off tolled highway and back on to save a minute
This morning waze thought it could save us a minute by directing us to exit the tolled highway. Take some back streets and then put us back on the same tolled highway. It didn't save us time but did cost us twice the amount for the trip.
Waze should not detour off and on tolled roads for insignificant time saving.

Live Municipality Display & "Now Entering" Border Alerts
Add a small, dynamic UI element (at the top or bottom of the map) that constantly displays the name of the current city or municipality the driver is in.
How it works:
When a driver crosses a municipal border, the app triggers a subtle chime and a brief notification: "Welcome to [City Name]".Why it’s a game-changer:
Driver Awareness: Prevents drivers from accidentally wandering into unintended or unfamiliar cities.
Situational Context: It’s simply helpful and engaging to always know exactly whose municipal jurisdiction you are driving through.
Safety & Enforcement: Highly beneficial for law enforcement, emergency services, and reporting incidents,…

Poderia colocar um Pop-up igual a do google Maps. Isso é muito útil
Poderia colocar uma opção para deixar em pop-up ou janela flutuante para quando saimos do waze ele continua aberto no canto da tela pequeno. Tipo como é no google maps. Se podesse eu colocava um print aqui como exemplo.

Add Permanent Hazard for Causeways (Fords / Dangerous Dips)
I would like to request the addition of a permanent hazard type in the Waze Map Editor for Causeways (Fords / Dangerous Dips).
In many developing countries, mountainous regions, and jungle areas (such as in Nepal), national highways and rural roads frequently cross seasonal rivers or streams via causeways rather than bridges. These sections of the road are prone to sudden water accumulation, standard flooding, and severe dips that can damage vehicles or pose a significant safety risk to drivers who are unfamiliar with the terrain.
Currently, local traffic authorities recognize these as permanent, high-risk road features. For example, Nepal…

on the display on Hyundai android auto (2025 Tucson) the hazzard notification button would better put on the lower left of the screen as op
On the display on Hyundai android auto (2025 Tucson) the hazard notification button would better put on the lower left of the screen as opposed to the right. it would be less distracting.

Add a flag to RTC to warn about the approaching final date
An editor should be able to "subscribe" to a specific RTC in order to receive a note message when the RTC is approaching its final date or is cancelled before the final date.
