Add Hazard for Vehicles Stopped in the Lane
I have a feature suggestion that could improve road safety and the accuracy of hazard reporting. Currently, Waze allows users to report vehicles stopped on the shoulder, but there is no option to report vehicles stopped directly in the driving lane.
Such situations pose a significant danger to other drivers, especially at night or in poor visibility conditions. Adding a hazard category specifically for "Vehicle stopped in lane" would help alert drivers more effectively and enhance safety for everyone on the road.

Add/Create a 1 touch button for a specific use.on Home Screen.
I would like to use as "Hazard on Side of Road" ALERT.I could assign to a "Shoulder Hazard", you mighht want to dedicate it to Police, someone else might want it to be Item on Road, someone along coast might be Water on Road.
Currently must do 5 steps-
"Orange Update"/"Hazard"/"Shoulder"/"Vehicle Stopped"/"Send".
THAT IS a lot of steps to do especially if by yourself.
Also buy the time I get it sent, I might be at next exit??

Look both ways when a road ends at a two-way road and you turn right
When driving on a road that ends in a two-lane road and you want to turn right, you usually only look to the left to see if a vehicle is approaching.
I think that in these cases, Waze should give a voice warning to check visually in both directions.
It may happen that on the right side a vehicle is overtaking another and the driver is doing so on the opposite lane, the lane you intend to enter.
The danger can increase if visibility is poor due to vegetation or other objects.6 votes -
BT from Titanfall 2 as a voice
Similar to Master Chief, it would be pretty cool to have a trip voiced by BT from EA/Respawn’s Titanfall 2. Since BT is already a vehicle and talks to you while inside, it would fit pretty well.

Mark overtaking lanes on back roads / B road highways
On minor highways (in Australia at least) they are often one lane in either direction, with the occasional overtaking lane being two lanes in one direction, one in the other.
These can be 10km+ apart and aren’t signposted until they are close.
It would be nice to colour indicate these lanes on the map so the driver/passenger can see if it is worth waiting to overtake a vehicle in the single lane road or wait until the safer overtaking lane15 votesThanks for your feedback.

"Favorite" Hazard Button on Main Screen
ADD single-push hazard button on main screen that activates "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead," which has to be the NO. 1 hazard all drivers face and encounter.
Pressing 5 buttons to alert others of a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" is a hazard itself. Now, we click the "Alert" button, then we click the "Hazard" button, then we click the "Shoulder" button, then we click the "Vehicle Stopped" button, then we click the "Send" button.
On my bi-weekly 3-hour trips, I go through that routine 20 times per trip. Clicking 5 buttons for ANYTHING discourages people from…

Detect different bluetooth/headunits for pre-set profile and settings.
As someone who rides a motorcycle and drives I would like to set different vehicle types based on device it is detecting. Like I would like if I connect to my car, no audible alerts and the routes that are best for that vehicle. But should I connect to my helmet communicator I would like if Waze knows that I would need audible alerts and motorcycle routes.

Truck routes
Waze dev team,
Please consider an option for drivers (Waze users) to enter in their vehicle height so that Waze can provide them with suitable routes, avoiding routes with low bridges/clearance?
This would be applicable for truck drivers, tradespeople with work vans and work equipment on roof as well as casual drivers with trailers.
Reason for this is to avoid the frequent low bridge collisions or congestion due to truck having to back out of road.
In Australia, prior to GPS maps such as Waze or Google Maps, we used to have truck edition of paper maps or map books…

two vehicle profiles on one account
I have two devices. My first device is my phone that I only use in the car (android auto). The other device is a fixed tablet on my motorcycle. I use one Waze account but the problem is that Waze syncs everything.
I want the option to easily switch (or auto switch depending on device) from car to motorcycle, but including the navigation settings. With my motorcycle it is no problem to take offroad tracks, but with my car I do not want that.

The better vehicle icons in the My Car setting could be earned
Seems like it would be more interesting if your My car icon options were limited to a Pacer or Aztec until you earned a better car through points achievements. Then either just grant access to better selection of cars or perhaps you could even "spend" earned points to upgrade.

Parking zone layer
You know the difficulties of finding a parking spot around your destination. Especially when you want to find the cheapest and not too restricted spot around your location.
I think it would be a great idea if there is a layer where you can draw parking zones. In each zone you can add a schedule wherein you can add parking time restrictions, vehicle restrictions, period when parking is free, cost per set time interval and maximum cost (for each day) and times when you're not allowed to park at all.
With that information the waze app could be made able…23 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Message alerts settings
In the new version of Waze, when the phone is landscape, when a warning is shown (radar, stopped vehicle ...) it's appear on the top of the screen, avoiding the visualization of what is to come in the path. The suggestion is to allow set where to place these alerts. If the phone is in an horizontal position, would be more useful than alerts go out to the right or left of the screen covering part of the side and not the way to go.

have you ever thought about making a bluetooth remote for updating while driving
create a remote that has the most common updates on it - cop - vehicle on the side of the road - object in road - traffic. you would have to take your eyes of the road just hit the appropriate button for updating. updates would be more accurate and more people would participate in updating which it the whole point.

carpool match
I would like to use Waze to match me with carpool buddies. Waze has a large community of active users, already knows my origin and destination as well as time of day that I leave for and from work. It also has all this information for people in the neighborhood.
If Wazers can indicate if they are open to carpooling, then Waze can help connect them.
There are some apps like Avego that try to help, but because they have such few users, they aren't useful.
Would you prefer to carpool if you could ?
