Car sentry
I would like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the security of parked vehicles and improve community-driven safety within the Waze app. The feature, which I call "Car Sentry," would allow users to register their car’s license plate within Waze. If anyone notices suspicious activity or an issue related to the registered vehicle (such as theft, damage, or an incorrectly parked car), they could quickly notify the owner through the app.
Key benefits:
Increased security: Users receive real-time notifications if their car is involved in a reported incident.
Community-driven safety: Wazers can help each other by reporting suspicious…1 vote -
Map UK police ANPR scanners
I like to suggest that UK police ANPR scanners are crowd-mapped and potentially included as an option that one might like to avoid when navigating
Background:
Police have set up thousands of number plate scanners in the UK which record passing traffic including images of front passengers.These create motion profiles which are stored on non-public database regardless of suspicion or explicit consent with no right to view your own data).
Camera locations are not published also even though ANPR cams are visible for people who know what they look like.
WAZE could crack this lack of informational self-determination and…

New feature
The main objective is to allow Waze users to report vehicles around them by adding comments. Like many users, Waze has become a habit when we drive on the roads to get information about our route.
The proposed feature could help all these users.
For example, imagine you are on the highway and you notice that a vehicle ahead of you has a deflated left rear tire. The driver probably doesn't know this because if he was aware of it, he would probably take the necessary measures.
With this new feature, you could report the vehicle directly on the Waze…1 vote -

Speeding alerts, 30.40 and 50 km/h above limit
At the moment the speeding alert can be set to a maximum of 20km over the limit but I also need other thresholds, 30.40 and 50km/h. In some countries, exceeding the speed limit by 50km/h leads to the suspension of the driving license.

Adding Voice Navigation Option: Torah Trope
I am an avid Waze user and Torah reader (בעל קריאה). I would love to add a navigation option using my knowledge of Torah trope. I think it would be a lot of fun :).

Have Red Light Camera(s) Take Over Traffic Lights
I've seen several users complaining about red light camera(s) not being mapped at many intersections, even though it is mapped (but can only be one-way direction (capturing rear license plates)), it's the traffic lights that are defeating the visibility of the red light camera. Basically, they have the impression that it's a new camera installed, when it's been there for months or years.
I believe users are more used to seeing red light camera(s) displayed on the map, whether it alerts or not when approaching one (like it was before the traffic light rollout), because it also has a…

Mojio OBD cellular GPS
There is a new device called Mojio www.moj.io on the market. It's an obd reader with a GPS and a cellular module. They have an SKD and API and I think it could be cool to include this in waze. Few things it could do with waze.
For trip that you forget to open waze it could automaticly use the mojio gps and this way get trafic information for others.
You could always know where your car is parked in waze.
Waze could notify you after a trip if you forget to lock doors.
Waze could give you info about…

Known Speed Traps
Would like that we have “known speed traps” integrated into the map section. For example if me and 100 other wazers pass a certain location everyday and we ping it as a speed trap the data should be collected until the app knows this is a speed trap and should become a known speed trap on the map. I think the same should be done with tag readers cops are known to read tags in certain areas by sitting in the median, ramps etc

Waze to give a number of CO2 saved by driving slower
I’ve noticed on my Waze that they now regularly pop up and say that driving below X speed will save CO2. It would be so much better if they could give a number. You could then have a carbon emmisions tab on the app tracking your CO2 savings and output and maybe even an option to carbon offset? It would also be even better if it used your number plate and data from the DVLA to properly calculate emmisions for your vehicle

Number Coded Scheme
If you're familiar in the Philippines, there's a number coding scheme where cars can't be on the road at a certain day and time based on the number plate ending. Suggest if you can show in the map maybe shaded in red or a red zone where they aren't allowed to go so driver can take alternative routes. This can be used for no tresspassing zones as well. Shows only as a warning but they can still drive. Similar from Tom Cruise's movie 'Oblivion.'

School/Teamk/event emoticons. Lost on way to game? See the similarly clad Wazers in team gear!
Say you're traveling down Interstate 75 headed for Floida A&M University in Tallahassee, but you get lost near a well-known shortcut in Tifton, Georgia. Never fear! Your Waze app shows nearby drivers clad in FAMU gear, and they are all headed in the same direction! Follow them, sort of how you might notice groups of FAMU license plates headed in the same direction. But Waze allows you to look for your fellow FAMUans further down the road! This concept could also work for events/conference, etc. Thanks for considering this idea!

Different phrases for the same message.
Waze should have multiple phrases for the same message. For instance, when C3PO is saying turn left master. It could say turn left with a different voice. This way the voice app wont get annoyingly repetitive to listen to.
Also, another idea would be to have different voices for different speeds, when you are going above 50 miles per hour, it could be an X-wing voice.
HILARIOUS idea: have a useless and unintelligible directions reader like: R2D2 beeps, and chewbacca yells.

Clean Special Fuel Vehicle HOV Access
In Virginia they offer Clean Special Fuel Vehicle license plates for vehicles to access to only certain HOV lanes. For example, I cannot use I-95 EZ Pass for free unless I have 3+ people, but I can use the Dulles Toll Road and a few others that meet the criteria for the IRS for Clean Special Fuel Vehicles.
We need an option to put in the type of playe/access that will route away from tolls, but allow us to use the HOV lanes where it is free. I'm sure this is similar in other states and places.

level 4 & 6 mood
Bonjour Reader,
Could you add the mood of the editor in levels 4 and 6 in WME to the client Waze for different visiblity on live map because they are the best.
An editor can choose differents moods editor when he wants not just the dinosaur for levels 5.
Tanks.Bonjour Lecteur,
Serait-il possible d'ajouter les humeurs d'éditeur pour les niveaux 4 et 6 du WME dans l'application Waze, afin d'avoir une visibilité distincte sur la Live Map car ce sont les meilleurs. Un éditeur pourrait ainsi choisir différentes humeurs quand il le souhaite, au lieu d'avoir seulement le…4 votes -

Have the ability to upload pictures of accidents to help victims of hit and runs.
When a wazer witnesses an accident we should have an icon to upload a picture, location and time of the incident. If someone is a victim of a hit and run they will have an opportunity to find the person responsible. Plates can be blurred like google maps but accessible by law enforcement if an incident is reported.

Electric Vehicle
Hello Devs,
I am currently in Ontario. I own an electric vehicle (with plate something like GVXX 123).
In Ontario, as far as I am aware of, all HOV Lanes are eglible to use the HOV even if there's only the driver on the vehicle. I believe in British Colmbia it's the same.By default, even if I have my vehicle type set as "Electric", Waze still try to navigate me outside HOV/Avoid HOV all together.
I understand everytime when I need to navigate to somewhere, the app will ask me "2+ People for HOV access". However in real life,…
