carpool match
I would like to use Waze to match me with carpool buddies. Waze has a large community of active users, already knows my origin and destination as well as time of day that I leave for and from work. It also has all this information for people in the neighborhood.
If Wazers can indicate if they are open to carpooling, then Waze can help connect them.
There are some apps like Avego that try to help, but because they have such few users, they aren't useful.
Would you prefer to carpool if you could ?

max parking height
At work we can choose between a VW Caddy (height 1,89m) and a BMW 316 (lower :P ).
Today only the BMW was available, so we took that one.
At Brussels I drove into a parking, close to our destination thanks to waze.
The parking is very low, the max. height is 1,75m. Luckily we were there with the bmw and not the Caddy.
It would be a nice feature if the max. height would be announced of parking space.46 votes -

Police reporting needs to be switched back
The police reporting system needs to be switched back. Driving along the interstate, I frequently report police sitting on the opposite side of the road. I also report police sitting in the median checking for speeders both ways. The "other side" button needs to return.
Thanks

Have an easy to use "manual start/pause" button
It would be helpful to have a "Start now" button. I'll often set my destination while still parked, so the part about navigating out of the parking lot is the app getting confused over and over while I navigate out to the street.

Sharing anonymized GPS data
This message concerned potential ConnectedCitizens partners. Uber just allow sharing their GPS anonymized data : https://movement.uber.com/cities . I think Waze should look into that possibility for ConnectedCitizens partners as this data has great interest for different transportation planning purposes. It could allow analyzing weaving highway section or origin-destination major interchange movements. Thanks for considering this possibility.

Restore list of "destinations" when using Voice commands while driving.
Prior to update, while driving I would be able to say a destination name, and if there were multiple results, I would be able to select the one I wanted. Also it allowed me to verify Waze found the correct destination.
This functionality has been removed for some reason.
1) It doesn't always get it right. There are many times when voice commands misheard the destination. The ability to verify exactly where I asked to go is essential.
2) Using Gas/convenience store as an example: I used to be able to say WaWa and it would give me…

Special calculation and result for motorcycle despite traffic jam
Hi all,
Sorry I do not want to create a duplicate but rather synthesize the idea (other posts talked about but are not totally clear)
It would be cool to create a special motorcycle calculation, for big towns with big traffic jam (ex. Paris-France...) :
the faster way, whatever, even if cars are bumpers to bumpers.Because even if you ride slowly between cars, it remains faster than another way (excepted if road is closed by police or whatever).
It should be possible to choose this kind after choosing destination. For exemple, it would be really practical to have,…
15 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

dangerous places
You should create a database with dangerous places, risk locations, and places near this places. When the user sets his destination, the app would ask him if the adress is correct, and tells him that the place he is trying to go is considered to be on a risk location or near it, and if there are streets with the same name on the city, ask him if he perhaps selected the wrong address.

Regarding alternate traffic on one side
I would like to see a mark added indicating that construction work is being carried out at a specified time on roads with alternate traffic on one side.Currently, this can only be displayed from the app.The city's road management staff should inform drivers that there is a time, date, and repetition setting from a PC. I think you can

Reinstate function to See a list of reports near your location
In the current version we can no longer see a list of reports near your location. This was a very useful function to allow a user to decide if, when and where to go, without having to first plug in a navigating destination.

Option to "drive through" when using navigation
When Using navigation, sometimes I need to drive through particular point on map, I mean drive to destination VIA some point on map. When taping and holding on map, a popup menu shows up. It would be great to add there an option for the "Drive Through this location" or something like that. It would also give a chance to plan a more specific route if such custom "VIA points" could be added as much as needed.

I think the stopped car icon should be removed from list of items to be marked. It’s seems to be the most prevalent post little value.
Add cop location, left side/right side to map so you know to move over.

Length of delay before setting off
It would be useful to have the length of delays displayed before setting off.
Currently Waze gives you an ETA and time to destination - e.g. 1:30hrs but doesn't indicate whether this is 1:30hrs of free flowing traffic (optimised route) or whether it is going to take 1:30hrs because you are going to be sat in 20mins of traffic. It could display next to the ETA the time you are going to be in delay e.g. ETA 1:30hrs +20mins delay (maybe in red?).

Automatically break up long routes
Waze has a hard time calculating long (several hundred miles) trips, because of all the data it tracks. The solution is to break your trip up into shorter segments. I propose to have Waze do this automatically.
When a very long trip is requested, have Waze calculate the route, then set the person's destination to an intermediate point. When they reach that point, set it to the next intermediate point, etc., ending up at their final destination. This would ease the lag in the app when, for instance, Waze has to re-calculate your 800-mile route. Instead, it would only…

Carplay issue
I have a 2021 Honda. When I disconnect from carplay after arriving at destination and reopen waze for trip home, waze is “asleep” and then shows my car at some place in the middle of a street I was on close to destination but not at the destination. I then have to restart Waze and then calculate my trip. I have to choose my route before connecting with iphone cord because route options don’t show on carplay screen. Very frustrating.
