I want to point outthat vehicle type setting can potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing the route to be congested, when in fact traffic was smooth flowing, albeit at a slightly slower speed due to heavy rain showers.

In Malaysia, when it rains, motor cyclists take shelter under flyovers and bridges. Therefore, if their waze was on, it would make your app think traffic is at a standstill.

Another issue with motorcycles is, in Malaysia, Lane Splitting is not an offence, and most times, during slow traffic, motorcyclists travel at much higher speeds in between lanes!! This would create inaccuracies in traffic assessments on particular stretches of roads.

Maybe the Waze app should have a symbol to indicate vehicle type prominently and allow users to change the type easily. Some people use motorcycles as well as cars, but normally just one phone!!
