add the vehicles from a online database
I think it would be interesting to add the vehicles from a online database, for example: Choose PRIVATE VEHICLE -> Ford-> Focus-> MK2 and that the data of that vehicle appears as dimensions of length, width and height, and that the height of a tunnel and if my truck is very high and will not go through the tunnel, let me know and make me an alternative route.

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 of…

Use BIG red and green arrows to correct turn restrictions right away when you report a map issue.
Problem now:
You report incorrect turn restrictions in your app, someone will find it in the web editor and blind changes them mostly based on fuzzy or even no notes.Idea
You mark a turn restriction map issue in your app. A simplified junction pops up with BIG red and green turn restrictions for your current view/street. You can toggle the arrows by tapping them allowing or disallowing turns.
Press save and forget. The changes will be kept locally in the client in order to avoid being routed the wrong repeatedly until the next map update.2 votes -
Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

restrictions on canceling reports
It's obvious that photo radar van operators and police are using Waze. I have driven by a PR van, reported it, and on my way back the report will be gone but the PR van will still be there (someone reported it as "not there"). There should be a "not there" safeguard in place, where depending on your rank on the scoreboard, so many reports of not being there need to be filed before it gets removed from the map, and a "Thanks!" report cancels out a "not there" report.
For example: I am a Knight, so either a Knight/King…

Firefighters
As a firefighter we use your app to help guide drivers into jobs as Waze is very reliable, but we have to be aware of height restrictions, weight and width restrictions. Is there any way you could add these restrictions into the app under an emergency service/ blue light type setting? Maybe adding a code that you have to apply for to unlock the feature providing proof that you work for a fire and rescue service so it doesn’t get used commercially?

Age limit on appstore
Please lower the age restriction on AppStore, to the same age it was a until not long ago.
Since you updated it to 17+, I can no longer use your app, due to the restrictions I put on my phone, to filter content.

Has Waze ended its feature in Costa Rica to avoid the license plate restriction zone around San Jose?
Reinstate feature in Costa Rica that allows drivers to list the last two numbers of their license plates to avoid the restricted zone around San Jose.
1 voteThank 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.

switch between car (diesel) and/or motorbike (gas+ztl) to compare times and costs
I use WAZE to drive either my car and my motorbike. Car is diesel, motorbike is gas: But I cannot save more than one vehicle. Moreover, motorbikes have usually no restriction in accessing central areas. That means I can "say" to have several LTZ permits whenever I use motorbike, but I must remember to delete all of them, as they aren't valid when I'm using the car.

New feature
Add the options of thumb down, so that you do not have to write that an event, an accident for example is no longer there. No there are only two options: thumbs up or comment
The other feature that will be very helpful in Costa Rica is being able to indicate that you are not allowed to enter downtown when looking for routes. Everybody gets restriction once a week

Restricted area
Much like being asked if it's okay to travel on a route with tolls. There should be an option or a prompt to ask about driving through a restricted area/military base on your route. I used Waze the other day to find a post office and it took my right to a security check point of a military base. Would have been nice to know that's where the app was taking me.

Visual Time Based Restrictions in client
Make TBR visually available for drivers. This will give context on why roads are not being used for routes. Nowadays they appear as regular roads

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes…

Oxygen Restricted Roads
A lot of drivers are now helping seniors and those with respiratory problems/disabilities that have oxygen tanks which are prohibited in tunnels that run from NJ/NY and possibly in other areas. There’s also some restrictions on bridges. Can you please come up with a Navigation button to “Avoid Oxygen Tank Restricted Roads”?

Restricted areas feature
Give people the ability to label areas within waze as "not safe" so waze can route loved ones around high crime areas. This would not be a crowd sourced data point but a parent could label parts of town (think...draw a polygon around an area) as restricted or unsafe. This would keep vulnerable children out of high crime areas or areas with known offenders.

Time restricted entry to UK roads
There are roads mainly in London, but increasingly around the UK, where there are restrictions on the times that vehicles can enter. This is usually during peak times such as school runs and LTN aka Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. Proceeding into these roads will result in a penalty as they are covered by ANPR technology.
It would be good to have a facility to add these restrictions.

Integrate a bus and truck option
Add a bus option next to the already existing car, taxi and motorcycle option and let us adjust the weight, height, speed, width and length of the vehicle
Theres hardly any mainstream gps that has a function like this
Could also add a truck option

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…23 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!
