1. Alert for BMW drivers

   Dear Waze Development Team,

   I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to propose a feature enhancement that could potentially improve the user experience and safety measures within your esteemed navigation application.

   As an avid user of Waze, I have noticed an opportunity for a unique feature that could contribute to the overall safety and awareness of all drivers on the road. I am suggesting the addition of a feature that provides alerts to users when they are approaching or are in close proximity to a BMW vehicle.

   The motivation behind this suggestion stems from the perception that BMW drivers may have a distinct driving style, which could require other drivers to exercise additional caution. By providing alerts to users about the presence of a BMW vehicle ahead, they can be more prepared and adjust their driving accordingly.

   I understand that the implementation of new features requires careful evaluation, resources, and time. However, I believe that this feature could significantly enhance the safety measures provided by Waze, and contribute to a more informed and cautious driving environment.

   Thank you for considering this suggestion. I am confident that such a feature would be greatly appreciated by the Waze community and contribute to the overall goal of safer roads. I look forward to the possibility of discussing this proposal further.

2. Feature Improvement

   I have used the Share Drive feature on Waze multiple times. It is a good feature. In my opinion the feature would be improved if it maintained a trip for at least 30 minutes after the traveler stopped. I believe that Waze currently drops the trip after the traveler stops their vehicle. The user has to reset the feature when they resume their trip.

4. Report markers should be marked when the user presses the report button, not the send button.

   Whenever I drive on windy freeways, or freeways with frequent blind spots, I don't see reportable items (police, vehicles on shoulder, etc) until the moment I pass them. Given the typical delay of entering the data into Waze, the markers end up being 500 to 1000 plus feet away from the actual item being reported.

5. change speed bump to traffic calming device

   There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.

   The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.

   If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down methods and alert with a simple and clear message to the wazer that speed control measures are in effect ahead.

   Instead of creating a unique permanent hazard for each of these devices, I instead suggest we broaden the definition the one we already have and change it's name accordingly.

   I'm currently working with the city of Sandy Springs, Ga and they employ all of the devices I've mentioned here but I am hesitant to add "speed bump" PH to their chicanes and other devices which are specifically not speed bumps.

6. Suggestion for Integrating Radar Helicopter Information into Waze

   Hi,

   I would like to suggest a new feature for the Waze app, considering a recent legislative change in Romania. According to the new law, vehicle speed can now be measured from helicopters, and drivers can receive fines or have their licenses suspended as a result.

   It would be extremely useful if Waze could integrate information about radar helicopters into the app, using the API from Flightradar24. This way, drivers could be notified in real-time about the presence of radar helicopters, enhancing road safety and helping to avoid unexpected fines.

   Thank you for considering this suggestion!

7. Lowering the font on the interstate highway markers

   The font on the highway markers are a bit large and I would like to see them lowered a bit. They are a bit too much and such.

8. Use my device's GPS accuracy to determine route stickyness

   I often find myself "stuck" to parallel roads because Waze routed me that way and I "must" be following the route--even though my GPS places me over 20m (65ft) away!
   When I go to Taco Bell on my way to work, it's so I can go through the drive thru, NOT so I can roll past the front door as Waze would have me do. But the 15m (50ft) out of the parking lot is "close enough" to assume that I'm following the route.
   This also happens when I'm trying to train Waze to take a longer route out of my parking lot to a shorter wait at a light. Waze misses that I didn't turn out of the parking lot and am on a parallel road 65m (80ft) away, and just assumes I'm on the road it wants me to take.

   Update the "route stickiness" algorithm to stay locked to the nearest segment within, say, 1.25 * the current accuracy. The GPS in my phone is usually accurate to within 3m (10ft). At time's, I've had as bad as 10. Even this should be good enough to determine when I've left a parking lot.

   Part of this may have to do with things like large intersections where the junction node in the middle could be 10-15m away from a vehicle taking a right turn, but surely that can be tweaked for the street type, i.e. tighter tolerance for streets and parking lot roads, wider tolerance for primary streets and highways.
   Incidentally, I think freeway interactions are restrictive enough that you can probably keep them tight too. I know it often takes a while for Waze to realize I've taken an unexpected exit. I mean, I can be on one of two different segments and I just slowed down drastically, where the heck do you think I am!?

   Perhaps transitions to/from parking lot roads or ramps could incorporate some kind of delta-v tracking.

10. Live Web Feed Of Incidents For Selected Areas

    Working with the Florida Highway Patrol, our Computer Aided Dispatch program feeds all traffic incidents, road blockage, etc to our website for public view. I'm sure other agencies have features like this as well. I think being able to take this data and feed it into Waze would make a huge difference. Who monitors a website while on a road trip?

    I also think having a way for staff in a Traffic Management Center or Emergency Communication Center to be able to monitor a feed of incidents in their specific area could be an extremely valuable tool in helping to locate incidents or verify accuracy of a report (a bunch of upvoted on a vehicle on a shoulder is a pretty good indication that one is actually there).

    The more resources available to our public safety staff, and every day commuters, the safer our highways can be.

    Thank everyone for reading, can't wait to hear your thoughts!!

11. Adding Social Distancing reminder notification

    During this pandemic, I think it would be a really good move for Waze to add some sort of notification reminding users of the social distance recommendations such as wearing a mask, standing 6ft apart, and washing hands. I imagine this would look similar to the notification that pops up when the app is being used while the vehicle is in motion, reminding the driver about safe driving, except this notification should pop up right after the driver presses go. As Waze is used by many, I think this is a great way to take action and do your part during this outbreak.

    I have both waze and google maps on my iPhone
    I prefer waze as it is gets 99.9% if addresses perfect, and it’s just the best app ,
    Google maps works on my large screen aftermarket car audio system via a connection cord to my iPhone , but waze doesn’t work can you make it so that it works !!! That would make your app wicked...

13. Security camera voice alert irrespective of type of camera ahead

    The app should notify irrespective of being within the limit because the speed reflecting on the app is 3km lesser than the real at all the given times.
    Also, the app doesn't even make a distinctive alert sound when there's a camera ahead.

    I request you to please integrate the verbal notification for a security camera irrespective of the type of camera installed and irrespective of whether the vehicle is under the speed limit coz at a lot of times due to many reasons like conversing while driving, thinking, managing kids etc. and it skips out of the mind.
    Please kindly enable the features on priority basis and it'd be a great help to all of us.

    Thank you for your kind understanding.

    Awaiting the feature integration at the earliest on behalf of all us people driving and relying on waze, neglecting the google maps due to this single important feature.

14. A category for a smaller road,that cars can't through in. Indonesia has a lot bikes here LOL

    I hope you guys can add a new category for a smaller road that only can suit by bike. Here in Indonesia there are lots roads that only can through by bike. Several times i must take another road,because i ride a car rite. And it would be great before take a navigation, user must entry what kind of vehicle that they use,so that waze can suggest road that suit for their vehicles.
    Thank you for your attention guys, i love this app!

15. Capitalize on the Great American solar eclipse 2024

    I'm not sure if you all are already thinking about this, but I think it would be really smart to capitalize on the upcoming Great American solar eclipse on April 8th. I've noticed that Waze is good about navigating large crowds of vehicles through the available road systems when a lot of people are running the app, so I think it would be great to market and advertise to folks that they should be using the app in order to alleviate the traffic and smooth everything out. I know I will be running the app, especially on my way home!

16. Aviation theme

    An aviation theme would be awesome! Having the ability to set your vehicle to different aircraft like general aviation, a private jet, commercial jet, or even a fighter jet!

    Voice lines could be similar to air traffic control conversations. Being a normal mode of transportation, there are TONS of references available for voice, like arrival, departure, parking, fuel, etc. Crashes on route could be "delayed flights" :) 🛫

18. Near Vicinity Target Versus Specific Address

    I don't want to assume, but I have to believe machine learning at Waze is either a thing now or will be soon. To that end a feature I've been imagining for some time might be more easily achieved in the current technological state.

    Idea: Since we typically do not drive our vehicles right into the mailbox of a given destination and knowing that, other than homes or small shops, a large percentage, perhaps a vast majority of destinations are large properties with big parking lots. If there was an "I'm here" or "I've Arrived" button, that GPS info could train Waze to know that a driver is close enough and likely in a parking lot, or near an alternate entrance. I believe such a feature would be preferable to Waze insisting that the driver has an additional distance and time to drive to get right on the doorstep of the mailing address. It might even improve the route guidance. This feature would create a vicinity-based bubble around a target destination, thus creating, in my opinion, a more accurate, and collaborative user experience.

    I'd love to know what you think...and I bet you are already several steps ahead of me on this.

    Thanks for all you do.

19. Improve the way that traffic reporting works in cities

    Avid Urban waze users like myself often find that our traffic reports will only cover a tiny segment of road, often only 100 or 200 ft. It seems this behavior has something to do with the way that the roads are segmented. There have been many times that I will be in traffic on an urban road in Chicago, report the traffic to help the community, and see that my report barely extends in front of and behind the icon of my vehicle. I'll either spam traffic reports every couple hundred feet while I'm in traffic to cover more length of road, or just give up and not bother.

20. Display unique symbols for hazards reported on the road

    At the moment, you have to click on the Hazard symbol to actually know what the hazard is. And as people alway report vehicles stopped on the hard shoulder as being a hazard, its hard to know what action to take when driving unless you know what the hazard ahead is. It is also dangerous to have to click on the small hazard symbol whilst driving. So why not have different symbols for different hazards? These symbols would be displayed on the map, preventing the need to have to click on the hazard symbol in order to know what the hazard is
