Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone
In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.
Add HOV matching!

have you ever thought about making a bluetooth remote for updating while driving
create a remote that has the most common updates on it - cop - vehicle on the side of the road - object in road - traffic. you would have to take your eyes of the road just hit the appropriate button for updating. updates would be more accurate and more people would participate in updating which it the whole point.

Make Wazers Near You work everywhere
When starting Waze, you see "xxx Wazers near you"...but only if you are in a defined NYN polygon.
I would like it to work if you are outside these polygons, possibly by determining the number of Wazers within N km.2 votes -
safe routes
Dear,
I write them because I love the app, however when I use the app at night, I would like it to include safe routes, I know that for you may sound strange, but in my country there are routes that during the night in certain points of the city is Extremely dangerous to go through assaults, robberies or kidnappings. It would be interesting to be able to work on creating safer but less efficient routes alternatives when you deem it convenient.I hope you like my idea and I love working on it.
Best regards.

Hello,
We wanted to ask, seeming to Android version 6.0.0 and higher, the sound is not working? (Voice instructions)
It is impractical to constantly monitor display.
Please Do you have any solutions?

Use Google Home to provide departure alerts for scheduled events
I would like to be able to use Google Home to set a scheduled departure time and location, and have it notify me with a audio notification (via Google Home) when it's time to leave. This would allow me to freely move about my home without having to check my phone.

STOP THE TRAIN button
Besides the great idea for navigating around blocked crossings, how about when YOU are stuck on the RR and you can't get off? Press the STOP THE TRAIN (button within WAZE, or a stand alone app). A message is sent off to DOT.GOV and the RR. Hopefully the RR operation center can get the the signal changed withing a few minutes. I am making a suggestion to them at rrswebinquiries@dot.gov so they could develop this app and the needed database of locations codes by position.
BY THE TIME A TRAIN SEES A PROBLEM, THE TRAIN CANNOT STOP.

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.

Work with Tollsmart
Tollsmart is an app that allows you to choose which bridge you want to go through and plan your trip to pay less toll. It would be awesome if this app joined with Tollsmart to give users the same benefits <3

Groups on the road
Create groups, which on the road will see their members in real time, which will share their routes and destinations. This is very useful for companies and their agents on the road.

Add a "turning" camera in addition to red light and speeding cameras.
Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY has at least two cameras to ticket drivers that make a turn where there is a "no left turn" sign. Perhaps waze can add an option for such cameras.

Waze should monitor neighbor hoods and cities who advocate 'traffic calming' and no right turn signs. So waze can be even more effective
Waze needs monitor and fight against neighborhoods and cities who advocate 'traffic calming' and no right turn signs. So waze can be even more effective

temporary places
I've seen a number of places meant to be temporary. For example "Jones-Smith Wedding" or "Start of xxx Bike Race." Having those is probably helpful both to participants and also helps advertise Waze. All that would be needed is a new category and an expiration date.
There is already a suggestion for "ad hoc" places but I don't think the name quite conveys the idea.
