Tram Trail Project (TTP) – Light Rail & Tram Safety Alerts
Target Product: Waze Navigation
Feature Name: Tram Trail Project (TTP) / Light Rail Crossing & Shared Lane Safety Alerts
Target Platforms: iOS, Android, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay
- Executive Summary As urban transportation evolves, light rail and tram systems increasingly share roadway space with private motor vehicles. Unregulated rail crossings and tracks embedded directly in driving lanes present significant hazards for drivers.
The Tram Trail Project (TTP) introduces dynamic, context-aware audio-visual notifications into Waze. By focusing strictly on actionable 150-meter proximity warnings and dedicated Shared Lane Modes, TTP drastically reduces collision risks while preventing driver alert fatigue.

Automate restricted area pass creation directly from WME to eliminate lengthy manual workflows
The current workflow to create and deploy navigation passes (toll and restriction passes) is overly complicated, error-prone, and causes massive delays for local communities and map editors.
Current Workflow Bottlenecks:
Manual Data Duplication: Editors must configure the restricted area in WME, manually fill out an external spreadsheet with the area's technical details, and hand it over to the coordinators.Complex Communication Chain: Coordinators must submit a request to the dedicated team.
Massive Turnaround Times: The review and creation process often takes months. If instructions are misunderstood or a minor mistake occurs, the request is rejected or improperly configured, forcing editors…

Virtual Cockpit Audi MMI
Hello, so nowadays there are updates on AUDI virtualCockPit to see waze on dashboard and not only in MMI display.
It works perfectly, but the buttons on the wheel is not working not zooming in, zooming out.
MMI version:
MHI2QERAUG22_P5092it's working through carplay. Point is that google maps are working perfectly with wheel buttons to zoom in and zoom out. it's waze's app issue and not audi.

Waze Head up display
When I make a route with an app like Apple maps or Google maps in Carplay. I can follow the navigation on my Mercedes head up display. However, this is not the case with Waze. This would certainly be an added value.

Variable Speed Limits
Variable speed limits on motorways should be a feature.
It could be a tick box to add (as a speed camera is), which lets users know the maximum speed limit, but also that it is variable in that section.
And/or, users can report what the variable speed limit is while in a variable speed limit zone. A pop up could come up like for petrol station prices.With enough responses, the most chosen speed limit can be shown to the users as the variable speed limit, and/or used to indicate whether the app will alert the user with sound for…

possibilité de fonction sans tunnels pour les claustrophobe

Dynamic "Emergency Vehicle Approaching" Highway Alert
A crowd sourced, real time alert system designed specifically for high speed corridors (highways/freeways) that warns drivers to clear a lane before an approaching emergency vehicle (EV) reaches them.
How It Works:
Initial Report (The First Trigger)
A driver on a highway taps Report > Hazard > Emergency Vehicle Approaching.
To minimize distraction, this can be triggered via Voice Control.
Direction and Speed Tracking
Waze tags the report with the reporter's direction of travel and GPS coordinates.
Waze's backend uses real time traffic flow data to project the EV's probable direction and speed along the highway stretch.
Verification and Cascading…3 votes -
Warn editors before hitting the daily proposal limit instead of failing on save
Currently, Level 1 editors are limited to submitting 10 edit proposals per day. However, the editor UI does not indicate when this daily quota has been exhausted.
As a result, an editor can continue selecting locked segments, making extensive adjustments, and editing attributes—only to receive an error ("Editors are only allowed 10 proposals per day") when finally attempting to save. All of that un-submittable work is then essentially lost or blocked.
Suggested improvements:
Visible Counter / Indicator: Display a counter in the WME interface showing remaining proposals for the current 24-hour window (e.g., "Proposals remaining today: X/10").
Proactive Warning: When…

Add sublayers to Task layer
Please add sublayers to the Task chart layer in WME, just loike there are for almost all other chart layers. Besides bringing it in line with other layers, it will also save editors click, because instead of going all the way to filtering in the Review menu, they can just simply flick it off in the layers menu.
It would look something like this: https://i.postimg.cc/BvpqBXQk/Task-layers.png

separate “Avoid expressways” option
Please add a separate toggle for avoiding expressways, instead of treating them the same as motorways.
Today, Avoid highways/motorways skips motorways (in Poland: A roads) but still routes onto expressways (S roads). In many countries these are different classes of road. Motorways are often tolled and fully limited-access. Expressways are usually the main free high-speed network, with different speed limits and rules.
Suggested options:
Avoid motorways
Avoid expressways
That would let drivers choose, for example, “skip Polish autostrady, but keep drogi ekspresowe such as S1”. Right now this is not possible in Waze. Google Maps folds both into one setting,…3 votes -
Show in WME whether a pollution-episode restriction polygon is currently active
In France, Crit'Air restriction polygons (named for example "CritAir HighPollution Grenoble") are switched on and off by Waze staff when a pollution episode starts and ends. Editors can see that a polygon exists. They cannot see whether it is currently active.
Here is what that cost us, on the record:
- 24 June 2026: differentiated traffic is activated on the Grenoble metropolitan area and around Vienne, in Isère. Only Crit'Air 0/1/2 vehicles are allowed. The polygons are switched on.
- The episode itself ends within days.
- 21 August 2026, nearly two months later, a local editor happens to notice the restrictions are…

Avoid toll roads
I have “avoid toll roads” enabled but Waze still includes them. It’d be great if I could “drag” my route and save it as my preferred route.

Option to add roads to avoid
When we go through a road and it is very bad, we may not want to use it again in the near future. We should have an option to add that road to avoidance.

€ per minute saved for highway route with tolls
I find myself always going against Waze’s route on my daily commute, because it suggests taking the highway right at the start of the journey, instead of going a bit by the main road until the next city and then joining the highway. This happens because the highway is the fastest route, but the other option is just 4 min extra time in the morning and saves 2 euros in tolls which is half the cost of the journey, if I would take the 100% highway route.
There could be a feature, where I could say how much 1euro should…3 votes -
Semafor temporar
Ar fi utila alerta pentru semafor temporar in zone cu lucrari. Acolo nu pot fi respectate conditiike de vizibilitate si pot fi coloane oprite in curbe. Senafor nefunctional *** este acum nu are nicio utilitate. Unde exista semaforizare permanenta exista si indicatoare deci nefunctionarea nu creaza pericol.
