Motorcycle mode
Please consider developing a motorcycle mode, where we could get all the usual Waze features but without being constantly diverted to routes with less traffic. We are not concerned by traffic! We ride between the cars. Especially in Paris, where it takes a quarter of the time it would take with a car, to ride from point A to point B.
Think of the parisians riders, who still want to use Waze for its great features but would like to be able to ignore the traffic alerts.
Merci d'avance !

Thank 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.

I have 5" carplay units on both of my motorcycles. (no this is not a display size issue). My preferred map software in carplay, is Waze, as I want the most crowdsourced information such as cops, traffic, construction, etc. My only problem on the motorcycle with carplay/Waze display is that the map is way too FINE and small print, the speed is too small, and red/black which are fairly impossible to read as they're both dark colors.
My ask, and idea, and suggestion... either basically control over the display SIZE to make the fonts and boldness of the roads and road names much more significant. and control over the speed display to be larger, and display colors. -or- a motorcycle mode, which prioritizes those things knowing that the display may be somewhat small, 5 or 7" are the only ones for motorcycles. and it's going to be vibrating a bit, and the rider is in a helmet, with visor or some sort of vision disturbance other than none/glasses_only.
The current version of carplay/waze for motorcycle use is , not usable. Even in cases where I know what street is coming up im looking for, there's no way I can see it on the mc carplay unit waze map. not not bc size... bc the display is a "fine line" and a small fine font.
There is a motorcycle avatar icon to use, idk if you choose that it could auto-adapt the display to something motorcycle oriented with large bold font, thick bold street lines, and large high-contrast speed information., that would be really great. or separate controls, either way... please. pretty please LOL =)

@admin. we need more than just a replacement vehicle icon. maybe you mean that changes the routing. but it does not change the display. on motorcycles the display must be different to account for vibration, viewing issues, font size, map line size, and speed information size. that is not altered when choosing motorcycle type.

Today, many motorcyclists use Waze to give us an idea of the daily real-time traffic. However, motorcyclists have the option to move faster than cars on the road traffic. This makes Waze update traffic information inappropriately. That is, while the cars are stopped in a traffic jam, motorcyclists can advance through the cars (although we know it's against the rules). I wish that Waze include a "rider mode" so that the data information received from the motorcyclists's GPS can be used by Waze for other purposes and not exactly to calculate the actual traffic conditions. The "rider mode" can be selected by the driver and why not, I'm thinking that motorcyclist can change the traditional icon. pd: Sorry for my English ...
