Add low-speed vehicle (LSV) option
LSV are allowed to drive on road not exceeding 35 mph. It would be useful to navigate only on these roads from point A to B.

Radars de tram velocitat mitja vehicle
Caldria als trams amb radar de tram, que waze indiques la velocitat mitjana calculada en el tram per així poder saber si vas per damunt o per sota de la velocitat total del tram, seria una bona ajuda.

Avoid parkway feature
Driving a commercial vehicle we are not allowed to go on parkways. A conventional GPS allows you to "avoid part of route" I want to be able to go on all other highways just not parkways. When it gives you a route, you should be able to avoid parkways where all truckers cannot use either

Show as Tractor
Display yourself as a tractor or slow vehicle on the map. Yes also agricultural vehicles use waze and normal roads. They would like to warn other drivers. Like trash trucks or snow plow trucks.

Alert selection
there's a feature to have alerts only, but not one to have directions only. This seems so obvious. Even better would be to select which alerts you're notified about. The vehicle on shoulder seems to be abused by those seeking to collect points. Police and objects on road are important, but rarely is a vehicle on the shoulder a legitimate hazard.

Temporary HOV/Carpool lanes
If I'm in a 2+ vehicle, it would be nice if a route preferred HOV lanes. In my area, there is a "temporary" HOV lane which has a different direction in morning and evening. (See US-93 between Boston and Braintree MA)
20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Realistic Detailed Vehicles
Waze has been around long enough now, how about realistic & more detailed vehicles, instead of the green car, silver car, blah, blah, blah. Why isn't there a pickup truck, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge, Toyota, etc? Realistic & detailed vehicles please!

Fix routing around large bodies of water e.g. Lake Michigan
For example, when I travel from Milwaukee to Detroit, I have to use Google Maps because Waze can't figure out how to drive around Lake Michigan. It's been like this for years and would be great if it could get fixed. The only way I can get it to work is to do a trip from Milwaukee to Chicago and then from Chicago to Detroit.

Add voice search while driving.
I want to be able to voice search for an address or a place while I'm driving. It is rather a inconvenience to have to put my vehicle in park in order to search where I want to go. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
38 votesGreat news! You can ask Google Assistant with Waze to navigate you to your destination. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also check this link to know more on how to use Google Assistant with Waze.

2 Ideas!
Hi, ive got two ideas: 1. When starting a new ride from a parking car, Waze does not know which direction the vehicle is facing. And because of Murphy's rules, most of the time it will plan the opposite route :) My suggestion is: before starting navigation I will have the option to calibarate the direction my vehicle facing (button that using the internal compass) . and now that Waze can understand that im facing east for example it can plan the right route. 2. adding an option so Waze know im driving a motorcycle so it can plane the…
33 votesThank 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.
As for the idea with adjusting car facing direction, it is under consideration.

Require vehicles to be moving when posting alerts
Police in Virginia have started using Waze and deleting the report as soon as someone posts. If you require a vehicle to be moving to post, then the officer wouldn’t be able to delete the police report while they’re parked.

Allow viewing on mobile while connected to android auto
When my phone is connected to Android Auto, viewing the app on the phone is disabled but not all features are enabled on the car display which are often needed. I cannot change my vehicle type (car/motorcycle), I cannot share my ride, if I am not currently navigated I cannot change alert settings.

Live Navigation Sharing Between Multiple Vehicles in Group Travel
I would like to suggest a new feature for Waze that can assist during group travel, especially when there is no fixed destination or the destination is uncertain.
In situations where two or more vehicles are traveling together (e.g., in a convoy or guided trip), Waze should allow one car to act as a guide vehicle and share its real-time movement path with other vehicles following behind.
The Waze app should then navigate the following vehicles based on the exact route taken by the guide vehicle. For example, if the guide vehicle turns right at a…

Send lane INTERDICTION alert through the vehicle's multimedia.
Hello, I believe that the following idea is an improvement and it is not a possible bug solution, because the functionality would have been tested before the release of the version.
When trying to send a lane interdiction alert through the vehicle's multimedia, the option does not appear, just using the cell phone without mirroring, I am using a cell phone with an IOS operating system, but the same behavior is seen with cell phones with an Android operating system.
Particularly, I don't walk with my cell phone in hand while driving, nor would I like to stop the …

Adding alert for vehicle going below the lowest speed limit
I really appreciate the effort you put in this application. Specially the limit for the route speed in UAE . You perfectly added the high limit for the speed.
My suggestion is to add the lower limit for the route which vehicles can't go below.
It's crucial because the fine for exceeding the speed is the exact same amount for going below the lowest speed.
I myself got fined for this gap on Mohamed bin Rashid street which is not allowed to drive below 120 KM/H . And I came to know after fine of 1200 derhams ( 400×3…2 votes -
