Add more vehicle icons
I look briefly at Waze when I drive and the rectangle icons at a glance confuse me. Suggestion is to have more triangular icons as such as planes (B2 stealth bomber is preferred), fish, maybe even fish or person on skis.

Add Multiple Vehicle Profiles for Better ETA Accuracy
I use two cars, and one is much slower than the other. Waze always gives me inaccurate ETAs when I’m driving the slower one. It would be great to have an option to save multiple vehicles and select which one I’m using, so Waze can learn and adjust ETAs accordingly

Workers Present and Emergency Vehicles
Maybe add a report for highway maintenance workers present. And perhaps generalize police to emergency vehicle present to include fire and ambulance. Police watch the highway for more than just speeders. It’s not always a good idea for everybody (such as drunk drivers) to know about specific police presence

Show routes for lorry/big vehicles
Need to add flag on the direction or something that lorry can go through. Identify what vehicle the driver used. Some roads bigger vehicle cannot enter. Please!

The pop ups in the newest update are too large and block the directional turns
Newest update pop ups are too large and block turn directions in car play - very dangerous to clear them while driving in order to see next turn

RV/Truck routing
Any possibility in the future to be able to choose RV or Tractor Trailer as your vehicle then trigger truck routes that would send you around low clearances or sharp turns, step grades etc.?

RV routes
I use Waze vigorously, however, in the summer of vacation time we adventure out in our RV. It would be helpful to have routes provided by selecting the vehicle type as an RV, and using roads specifically safe for an RV/18 wheeler truck.
These vehicles are not designed for small narrow roads, and would need to have the safest route provided possible.
Is it possible that we can have better options for the vehicle type, and this way Waze can make a suggested route specifically for said vehicle type? I honestly believe this would increase the amount of users…

Multiple vehicles
A quick way to toggle settings between two or more vehicles. When I drive my truck I use the expressways, I use alerts only, and diesel is preferred. When I ride my motorcycle I don't use expressways, I turn on navigation since my phone stays in my pocket, and premium gas is preferred. A way to save particular settings when toggling between private and motorcycle would be appreciated.
250 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.
Thanks! -
ADD a Push Reminder to OPEN WAZE APP when vehicle motion is detected (i mean to use consistently but often forget to turn on)
ADD a Push Reminder to OPEN WAZE APP when vehicle motion is detected (i mean to use consistently but often forget to turn on). A prompt to do so (opt-in via push notice) would be appreciated.

Add Rest Areas to Categories
Show rest areas and allow users set notifications for distances between rest areas or services (fuel, restrooms, food.) Driver fatigue is a significant contributor to vehicle accidents and some highways have few services or rest areas.

NO EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS!!!
Take Point Richmond, California OFF the map re-route!! Our streets are many decades old and very narrow. Residents blocked in and emergency services blocked out. I am very concerned as the frustrated, MISGUIDED cars become idling, polluting, revving logjams outside our homes!! Our police are patrolling and ticketing illegal and dangerous drivers.

Make Waze more useful for buses and trucks
Make Waze more useful for buses and trucks. So i can choose that i drive one of those vehicles and not just between only a car, taxi or motorcycle. And can specify how tall the vehicle is. And Waze then navigates you so that you arrive without suddenly arriving at a bridge that is too low, for example

Registration plate recognition and automatic tagging of police vehicles
Due to the proliferation of unmarked police cars and unmarked mobile speed cameras (parked cars) with no warning signs, it is now necessary to take it one step further and use the video feed from dash cams (both front and rear) and character recognition to automatically tag a police vehicle by its registration plate (after that registration plate has been manually tagged). If a user is travelling with that vehicle, the vehicle's location would be updated live. Once that user breaks away from the police vehicle, the location would then be picked up and updated live by…

Hazard ON the Road option
Under Report/Hazard on Road/On Road - one of the options should be, Vehicle ON ROAD. There are many times I find a vehicle broken down on the road which is much more dangerous than a vehicle on the shoulder.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my…5 votes -

Waze needs to automatically shut down after leaving vehie
Waze stays open, running and consuming large amounts of data and battery once i have arrived at my destination and left my vehicle. It’s still running when I am walking. I need to manually remember it’s running and shut it down.

Prevent police from removing a report.
Police have caught on to Waze. They always click "not there" when someone reports them in Waze. An easy way to keep that from happening is to only allow the "not there" response from a moving vehicle. That way the stationary cop can't delete the report.

Single Lane with/without passing places
In the UK, we have a large number of narrow two way roads which are often only the width of a single vehicle. You can often meet oncoming traffic head-on with no easy way of passing unless one driver decides to reverse. Either that, or at best, you both end up with scratched paintwork.
Waze has no way of knowing which roads are narrow, so will often route along this type of road. Many of us would prefer to take a longer route to avoid this type of road.
I suggest that within WME we have a tickbox option…
