Police moving

Real problem when the officer comes from behind you.
I suggest adding "a policeman Moves forward" under "policeman" to Warning drivers in front of you.
I am willing to help.

I would like a button to show police that are traveling along side me and for them to stay on the map for 2-5 miles then come off. It will give drivers a notice as to what's coming up. You could display them as a ghost vehicle since they aren't stopped on the highway. Please consider it.

Mobile police update. Add Police spotted. Direction headed, as in south, an auto line is added to map on that road for 1 to 2 miles. If someone doesn't see they can end or agree and it extends line and removes old line automatically. Simple steps...Touch police, touch mobile, touch direction, done.

Sometimes a police car with radar is right behind or in front of your car and it goes along with you for some kilometers. During that trip, the wazers are vulnerable, because the radar is still working during this trip and no one can report it because it moves.
I think you could add a new feature called "I am Police" or something similar so that the cars travelling near the police car could activate as long as they are near. This way wazers could see the police coming towards them and slow down.

I see some problems with, but I'm not completely against it... iCoyote has the same feature.

But: the moment you report a cop in motion, the data is stale: does it matter the cop was at your position 'in motion' 15 minutes before you are there, he's probably somewhere else now (else he would not be 'in motion'). So I think usefulness would be limited.

I would at least build in some annoyance factor when using the 'police tracking' feature. A beep from time to time e.g. so that people don't leave the option on.

First let me say this is hands down the BEST GPS map ever created. I strongly support you guys. I drive a Grand Cherokee SRT8 with a 10" custom installed samsung galaxy tablet. Once I enter my vehicle...WAZE opens!

I was wondering if the developers could impliment a feature I was thinking of while driving with a officer beside me in traffic for a considerable distance.

When we mark police as 'hidden' or 'visible', a 'in motion' feature would be GREAT.

How it would work is when a particular wazer is driving and a cop is in traffic in motion with him..he hits the police, in motion button and that particular user becomes HIGHLIGHTED for other users to see in a way that we know a officer is in traffic driving very close or beside the user. Once the officer leaves the route the user was on, a 'break off' button enables the user to have a menu open asking where the break off took place, the map shows and you click the direction the officer broke off in.

Just an idea.

Keep up the great work!

Allow the selection of both "Other Side" and "Hidden" when reporting Police.

For example, I was a passenger traveling on a freeway this weekend. On the other side were to police vehicles parked behind a building. I was able to mark that there were police on the other side, but my report was most likely removed because other Wazers did not see the police in the location I had marked due to being behind the building. I think it would be helpful to allow users to select Other Side and Hidden.

When reporting for the other side it would be helpful to be able to select more than one option. For example being able to select "other side" as well as either "hidden" or "visible"

I wanted to make the same recommendation. If I see a cop passing me I want to report it, so that all the users ahead of me can be alerted.

Thanks!

Allow me to indicate that the Police is moving/traveling and either the same direction as me or opposite direction.

I agree, please allow to show the cop is moving and in what direction

please search before posting another request that matches others on here.

there are many other request matching this one. Since the 4.x upgrade on iOS removing the ability to report events on the other side of the road, waze has become completely WORTHLESS. However, THEY ARE PUNISHING those of us who have NOT UPGRADED by not giving us our points for driving and reporting events even though other users can see them and thank us for them. Recently, before i downgraded back to 3.9.x, I was driving and noticed and accident and traffic completely stopped on the other side of the road. I was not able to alert other wazers to the situation because the option was removed from the new 4.x version. There were other wazers en route to that area but none there at the time so i was not able to help them because i was on the current 4.x version. Until it is restored, or they at lest restore our points, i'm staying on v3.9 so I can help other wazers (which used to be the purpose of this app) and will be getting my points through WME.

i've found a few feature requests related to this but the idea of this request goes beyond the scope of the subject line.

new alert

We used to be able to report traffic issues on the 'other' side of the road.

Agreed!

It would be great idea if users could be warned within a preset radius of police alerts, particularly if police is coming behind you. Currently, one can only see alert made in the direction of travel. Users can only alert if police is visible or invisible and can not alert others if police is moving.

Why doesn't Wazy add to the already existing "stationary police, visible/hidden" option; add a "moving/driving police" option?

Mark police moving or parked
