Free road - Green road
Let us see not only the traffic jams. Let us see the free road. Free roads may be highlighted in green. This will help to better assess the condition of the roads.

Allow the use of bluetooth controls while Waze is in the foreground.
When Waze is running in the foreground, my bluetooth controls don't work. So I have to do a whole bunch of on-screen gymnastics just to skip to the next track in my queue. This is potentially dangerous while driving. I should be able to use the button on my steering wheel. (It works fine when Waze isn't running.)

Add full support on HUD displays on cars
When using Waze in my Car via Android Auto, it shows show semi support on the HUD display.
For example, when turning left on roundabout, the arrow and symbol shows straight instead of circle with left arrow surrounding it.
Another support is missing - When driving on road with several lanes and need to stay on right lane or left lane, no lanes appear on HUD, only straight arrow.
Google Maps and Sygic work great with HUD display so it's clearly an issue with Waze.
Please fix.

Sloping / inclined streets
In Latam and some other cities I have known, there are streets with inclines of more than 15° and some vehicles cannot drive up these roads due to several factors.
1) low power vehicles
2) Motorcycles
3) climatic factors that prevent the vehicle to go up this road.
4) vehicles parked on the sides that prevent other vehicles from passing.It would be interesting to make waze as well as avoid freeway roads we can add the inclination and avoid it.

Change Vehicle profile by connected Bluetooth
I am using my device for navigation by car and motorcycle and I regularly forget to change the vehicle type.
I would love to have a feature that depending on what Bluetooth device is connected to the phone the vehicle type would be automatically set to the appropriate one.42 votes -

Heavy traffic: "make a corridor for emergency vehicle access"
Hello,
in some countries it is mandatory to make a corridor for emergency vehicle access (According to Wikipedia: Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Germany) when you are stuck in heavy traffic. Although there are a lot of campaigns on building a "Rettungsgasse" in Germay, a lot of people still don't do it, potentially endangering the life of the victims of accidents.
I suggest adding the recommendation to form this corridor to the alert for heavy traffic and standstill.
Cheers

Fuel prices
In Germany there are apps showing the actual fuel price.
This information is delivered by the "Bundeskartellamt", nearly in realtime!
Would it be possible to integrate this in WAZE ?

add a plugin method, e.g. radar detector
There is an iPhone app called "radar active" that allows realtime updates of speed traps. The sounds various radar detectors make (or dataports like on the Valentine V1) could be used to automatically add speed-trap / false alarm information to the map. Android has easy ways to add external hardware, but the microphone could be used on any platform with the right audio processing software.

Expire events option
Give a general or category specific option to delete/expire events. e.g. most crashes/accidents are cleared in 30 minutes or less, yet the event lingers in Waze for 2 hours or more. So let the user chose how old an event will be displayed.

Group Ride mode for motorcycles – see who's fallen behind, in real time
THE PROBLEM
When a group of motorcyclists sets off together, Waze gets every rider
to the destination — but nobody knows anything about anyone else. If
someone falls behind, stops, or breaks down, the rest find out at the
next fuel stop. Sometimes 50 km later.Today we solve this with phone calls and repeated stops just to count
heads. On a motorcycle, in motion, that is dangerous.THE PROPOSAL: a "Group Ride" mode, available only in Motorcycle mode
Waze already knows who is riding a motorcycle — Settings > Navigation >
Vehicle type > Motorcycle. This proposal would live entirely behind
that existing setting.• The organiser creates a ride (destination + planned stops) and
shares an invite link or code
• Riders join with one tap and all get the same route
• Everyone in the group appears on the map, in real time
• Roles: Ride Leader at the front, Sweep at the back
• Alert when someone falls more than X km behind
• Alert when someone has been stopped for more than Y minutes while
the group keeps moving
• Alert when someone loses signal, showing their last known position
• A "Problem" button that sends your exact location to the whole group
• Automatic regroup point suggestionThresholds (X km, Y minutes) configurable by the organiser.
WHY GATE IT TO MOTORCYCLE MODE
Because it costs car drivers nothing. Riders in Motorcycle mode see one
extra entry point; every other Waze user sees no change at all, no new
buttons, no added complexity. The vehicle type toggle that makes this
possible already exists and already ships.It also solves a problem that is specific to two wheels. Cars travelling
together can call each other, pull over safely, and see one another in
the mirror. A rider in a 15-bike column cannot use a phone, cannot stop
on a mountain road, and loses sight of the group on every bend.WHY NOW
Motorcycle mode was recently expanded with rider-specific routing and
hazard warnings for potholes, speed bumps, raised crossings and narrow
bridges. That work recognises that riders need different information
from drivers. Group awareness is the same idea applied to the one thing
riders worry about most on a long ride.Waze is already the app on the handlebar mount. You cannot juggle two
apps while riding, and a second navigation app is not an option. Waze
has the map, the route, the traffic and the community. The only missing
dimension is the group.The principle is simple, and every group rider already knows it:
don't leave anyone behind.THE PROBLEM

One Touch Reports in Car Play / Android Auto - Customizable
It would be great to have the ability to customize one-touch reports.
See the attached imgur photo.
In this case, I made vehicle on shoulder, police, and object on the road as my "One Touch."
I also added a compass to the navigation bar on the bottom left. (The compass I used is far too busy for Waze.)41 votes
