Waze has introduced several new features to enhance user navigation, including clear guidance on negotiating roundabouts, alerts for impending speed limit changes, and warnings about speed bumps and sharp curves. Additionally, users can now easily access parking information, track updates to their preferred routes, and receive notifications about emergency vehicles along their route.
With input from the Waze community, drivers will receive detailed instructions on entering, navigating, and exiting roundabouts, which can be particularly helpful in unfamiliar areas. This feature is being rolled out globally to Android users this month and will come to iOS users later in the year.

Users will now receive advance alerts about upcoming speed limit changes along their route, allowing them to adjust their speed accordingly. This feature promotes safer driving practices and is being rolled out globally to both Android and iOS users this month.
In addition to existing hazard alerts, Waze will now notify users about sharp curves, speed bumps, and toll booths to facilitate navigation through unfamiliar terrain. These alerts are currently being made available to Android and iOS users worldwide.
Through a partnership with Flash, Waze will provide users with detailed information about parking, including coverage, accessibility, and availability of EV charging stations, allowing for parking spot reservations directly through the app. This feature will soon be accessible to users in the U.S. and Canada.

For user safety and awareness, Waze will alert drivers to the presence of stopped emergency vehicles along their route. This feature, supported by the Waze for City partners program, is currently live in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and France, with expansion to more countries on the horizon.
