ALPR location database
Would like ability to notate location of stationary and mobile license plate readers deployed on public roads. The same exact way in which red light and speed cameras are notated and reported on.

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 other Waze users…

New tag
I would like to propose a new tag to go with the police category. With the proliferation of license plate readers, I think there should be a new, separate tag for those. In my area, numerous people are tagging the readers as mobile police cameras, which is incorrect. I think it would benefit all users to add this tag.

EV features aren't currently supported in mycountry
EV features aren't currently supported in my country Costa Rica. We don't have license plate restrictions for electric vehicles and the days that plate matches the gasoline and diesel cars restritions I get not optimal routes.
Please enable EV features, including no license plate restrictions.
Thanks

Possibilità di inserire la propria targa in Waze per ottenere suggerimenti di navigazione in base a questa
Sono sempre più i divieti con restrizioni in base al numero di targa, vedo molti cartelli che consentono il transito in determinati giorni (pari/dispari) subordinatamente ai numeri di targa (pari/dispari), Waze dovrebbe avere la possibilità di inserire la propria targa (o soltanto alcune sue parti o dettagli) nel client e di conseguenza aggiornare l’editor di mappe di Waze per consentire agli editor di applicare restrizioni in base alle targhe, questa funzione già esiste in alcuni paesi e andrebbe abilitata anche in Italia

DUI roadblocks are unconstitutional, without proper due process presumed guilt.
NYPD, Plain view law, no expectation of privacy on public roads to which the public may be made aware of unconstitutional activities, including DUI checkpoints which are roadblocks presuming guilt without due process. In California, we are not duely notified of license plate readers via a sign which constitutes 24 hour stalking without due process, as well as having licence plate data saved for future use without driver's consent nor awareness...there needs to be laws.

Unmarked police car identification and marking
I suggest to use phone cam to identify unmarked police cars via license plate and automatically mark them on road for others.

LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.
A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).
This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.

message car to car
It would be useful to add the possibility to send a message to another car using the car license plate number
This is useful when a car has a taillight out of order or when you forget the back foglamps on.
In any case in all situations in which you want to warn a car of a potential danger.
Naturally, the message is only received even if the target car has the active waze application.

Hello Waze. This is Alex from Manila, PhilippInes. Please consider number coding scheme when suggesting routes.
Number coding scheme based on Plate number ending in the Philippines
5 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

Toll
I was using Waze in CarPlay today taking a ride on the PA turnpike. It showed that the toll rates were $22.00. This is the accurate toll price if I was paying cash or using toll by plate where they take a picture of my license plate. But people who have an ezpass pay significantly less than that rate, sometimes 50% less. Could you add an option in the Waze account to show the ezpass toll rate vs the cash rate toll rate? Perhaps a toggle button that you have an expand transmitter.
When I drive from Philly to…

Average Speed / ANPR Camera Reporting
As well as normal Gatso type speed cameras, increasingly automatic number plate recognition / average speed cameras are used in the uk. Being able to report them & their speed limit, and having a notification that you're within the average limit would be priceless.

Addition of a "Probationary License
Bonjour
Serait-il possible d'ajouter une option dans les paramètres de navigation permettant de sélectionner un profil 'Jeune Permis / Permis Probatoire' ?
Une fois activée, l'application ajusterait automatiquement l'affichage des limitations de vitesse et les alertes sonores selon la législation en vigueur. Par exemple, en France, les seuils passeraient de 130 à 110 km/h, de 110 à 100 km/h et de 90 à 80 km/h.
L'idéal serait que cette option soit adaptative : les seuils de réduction de vitesse devraient s'ajuster automatiquement en fonction de la réglementation spécifique de chaque pays (par exemple, des limitations différentes en France, en Italie…

Tarhe Traffic (road limitation) in Tehran, Iran
Basically there are limitations on roads that you can have access to during the day in Tehran, Iran. There are areas that you can access only if you have the permit for the day and there are areas that you can access based on your plate ending number. So for example if you have even number ending plate then you can pas from these areas only on even days of the week.
These are issues that waze does not put into consideration while it is navigating and you can easily get fined by passing from these areas automatically.

Abbility to report start & end of SPECS.
SPECS cameras operate as sets of two or more cameras installed along a fixed route that can be from 200 metres (660 feet) to 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in length.[3] They work by using an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to record a vehicle's front number plate at each fixed camera site. As the distance is known between these sites, the average speed can be calculated by dividing this by the time taken to travel between two points.[4] The cameras use infrared photography, allowing them to operate both day and night.

Signal a portion of the map that a car which has a mother that is about to give birth will pass, so that drivers should be careful
For future parents, this could be of help.
They can open Waze and put in their license plate and signal that they are an urgent transport because a mother is about to give birth.
And when they put the directions to the hospital, their route is highlighted on the map for every single Waze user.
This way, drivers are being noticed and won't be surprised to see a speeding car.2 votes -
Add ability to report Blown Auto Light Bulb
Could you create a simple form whereby drivers/passengers could report blown headlights/tail lights of cars around us? It could be very simple; enter license plate number, state, front or back, and left or right blown light. No personal information could be supplied, keep it totally annonymous. A great safety feature for your patrons.

Adding license plates="cars" to user to avoid highwa sticker problems
Hi WazeTeam! We have 3 cars in the family, and sometimes we forget which car has valid sticker onto the dedicated highway, and which hasn't. I would be great, if I could choose the car, and it would show if that car has valid stickers for A-B-C highways (of course this needs also to implement "Sticker validity" to be fully automated) :)

Waze data as legal evidence
It is frustrating when vehicles are being operated unsafely and there doesn't happen to be a police officer to witness. Yesterday as I was driving down a busy NY highway 4 motorcyclists were doing wheelies, tailgating cars and weaving in and out of traffic. In the absence of a police witness perhaps a certain number of hazard reports from Wazers, including offender's license plate numbers, might be sufficient evidence for law enforcement to pursue charges against drivers creating hazardous conditions. Has anyone considered this? Thank you.
