About Waze voice directions
📣 Proposal to Waze: Introducing a User-Created Voice Navigation Marketplace
I would like to make a proposal regarding Waze’s voice navigation feature.
Currently, users primarily rely on the standard voice options provided by Waze.
Although some users can already create and share custom voices on a limited basis, I believe Waze should take this concept further by introducing a fully supported system where individual creators can produce, upload, and sell their own navigation voices within the app.This idea provides significant benefits for Waze, creators, and users alike.
■ Reasons for the Proposal
Creators with strong voice talent can monetize…

Ability to add RTCs to new segments
It would be useful to be able to add RTCs to newly added segments. Without the segment(s) included in the current tile build, the closure wouldn't be "real time" but would allow for applying the closure immediately after the tile build finishes. A disclaimer could be (should be) displayed that the closure will not go live in the app until the tile build finishes. This could allow us to more efficiently construct roads ahead of their opening so that the RTC is in place for real time opening. It could also allow for cutting segments for upcoming construction (bridges, culverts)…

Event Announcements
Currently, event announcements remain displayed even after the event has ended.
Unless they are deleted manually, they stay on the screen and make it difficult to view new announcements.Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a feature that automatically deletes event announcements once they have ended.

Better gas station search
Currently when on a drive and I hit the gas station icon it searches along my route but will give me options that are over 100miles away. Usually when I go to search I want to find one soon and much closer. Also the gas prices that are listed on there and marked as updated same day have been very wrong. They need to get picture confirmation to ensure people are entering in the wrong amounts.

Adding stops to route be able to view on map
It would be extremely helpful to be able to view the locations of possible added stops along your route to be able to better visualize which location would be best and see how far off the route it is or how close/far from the original destination.

Choose which alerts are voiced when you have sound on
When you have the sound on for navigation, it would be great to choose which alerts to actually have the navigation voice. When on a long drive and trying to listen to music it can be very annoying to have your songs interrupted every few minutes because of a car on the shoulder.

Add neighborhoods to places
Many cities have stores with many locations around the city. These can be hard to distinguish in Waze, since people might not be familiar with the specific street name, and some countries have many streets with no name or similar names. Just as places are assigned to cities, it should also be possible to assign them to a neighborhood (defined based on community guidelines), so it's easier to find and identify places.
A recent feature allows for neighborhoods from Google to appear in search results, but this request is to define and manage neighborhood areas directly in the WME, either…

Only send one Email if a UR gets commented and closed
On URs, it would be nice for editors to have a "comment and close" button to send a single email/notification to users, instead of two (an editor has left a comment, and your reported issue has been closed).
Most of the time, the user sends a last message right before closing the UR (something like: thank you, we fixed the map, it will take a few days to reach the app...).
Alternatively, use a queue and automatically merge these two events together if they occur within a specified time frame.

Crosswalk Alerts (Visual + Voice) for Enhanced Road Safety
Hi,
Marked pedestrian crosswalks are among the highest-risk points where vehicles and pedestrians interact, especially at night, during poor weather, or in areas with weak lighting.
Introducing a Crosswalk Alert — a small on-screen icon with an optional short voice cue such as “Pedestrian crossing ahead” — would provide drivers with earlier situational awareness without affecting routing. Activated only on verified crosswalks, this alert would function similarly to existing permanent notifications such as speed bump warnings, hazard alerts, camera notifications, and other fixed safety cues.
Such an alert would reduce reaction-time delays, improve driver readiness in limited-visibility areas, and help…

To have a certain classification of road/highway to have a connection with at or higher highway classification
Some roads on Waze have highway classifications that do not continue. For example, a road close to me has a minor highway classification; when it reaches a round-about, it loses that classification, but in all directions, that classification does not have a connection. These roads should have its particular classification end at another road with the same or higher classification.

Editors who have several edits for review and are accepted or rejected to view which one of their edits was either accepted or rejected.
I have several edits subject for review. Some of them have been reviewed, but it won't tell me which edit was reviewed. We should have an option to view which of those edits was reviewed and the option to chat with the person who reviewed it for questions about their decision.

It would be great to show the name of the street you're currently on, as well as that of the next turn. Also, show the name of the street you're on when not in navigation mode.

Dash MAP
I don't know if this is a Waze or a FORD issue. i have a 2025 FORS Explorer, and i have the option of having the map on the main screen or on the dashboard so i can use the main screen for something else.
The thing is tha on the dash screen i have ZERO information.... it doesnt show the speed limit, it doesnt show speed radars for example. So what is the point of being able to use the dash screen if i still have to leave Waze on the main screen to check for speed radars?? ALL…1 vote -
Let Editors set their preferred date format in WME Settings
Different regions of the world use different date/time formats, and even within some regions individuals may have their own preference for a date format that's most comfortable for them. Rather than have WME use one format for entering and displaying dates, allow the user to configure their preferred format on the WME Settings page, the same as configuring Imperial vs. Metric units. WME should then honor that date format on all date entry and display fields.
Sample date formats to offer could include "dd-mm-yyyy", "mm/dd/yyyy", or my preference for a default the ISO 8601 "yyyy-mm-dd" international standard format. I suggest…

Add "Serial Number" field to Speed Cameras in WME
Currently, when adding or editing a speed camera in the WME, there’s no way to associate it with its official registration or identification. I suggest adding a “Serial Number” field to the speed camera settings.
Having this field would allow editors to input the official serial number of each speed enforcement device, as issued by the government or regulatory agency. This is extremely valuable because:
- It enables verification and validation of the camera against official databases from transportation or metrology authorities.
- It improves accuracy when identifying missing, moved, or deactivated cameras.
- It helps prevent duplicate or outdated hazards, ensuring only…
