Add motorcycle icons for sports bike and cruise
There is an icon for motorcycle that looks like a scooter. It would be cool to add different ones for sport bike and cruiser just like there are icons for various car types.

Color Coding for "Traffic" Reports Indication
To Use different Color Codes for :
"Moderate" - "Yellow" Color
"Heavy" - "Orange" Color
"Standstill" - "Red" ColorThis will indirectly help us to minimize our attention to the Screen without touch the Icon for Status of that Traffic in that location. It is good to Ease of Reference as Currently, I need to Press on that Icon Everything while on the move which is quite dangerous sometimes.30 votes -
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.

Special Camper and Caravan App
SO much better than google, TomTom, Garmin …. Please consider doing a special camper and caravan app, too, that will take narrow roads, bad surfaces etc into consideration. Would assume to have to pay for it.

Merge two or more alerts
Today Waze prioritize some alerts and you only have 1 visible and audible alert, even if it has 2 or more in the location.
My suggestion is that in this case Waze can "merge" these alerts. Something like "Speed trap and accident reported ahead"
29 votesWe plan to work on merging two or more alerts in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Option to always notify speed cameras
The idea is to add an option to notify when there is a speed camera either always or only when you are speeding (which is the default currently). Some times you can speedup a bit near the camera and you will get the ticket.
With this option you will know the location of all the speed cameras and will be able to decide whether to accelerate or not depending if there is or not a camera.29 votes -
Mixed routing strategy (Fastest, shortest, economical,... and others to come)
The "best" route is often a matter of personnal compromise.
It's often a mix of fastest, shortest, and more and more road cost / fuel economy.
I suggest we add a "Mixed" routing strategy, that could follow our preferences.We could think of a system starting with 100 points that the user would share among the different "strategies" of routing.
For instance, one could set :
* Fastest : 50 points
* Shortest : 30 points
* Economy : 20 points.That has the big advantage to allow other routing strategy for future.
* Less traffic lights : 5 points
* Less train crossing : 10 points
* Nice points of view : 5 points
* etc...of course, total points would always have to be 100 points. As i said, routing is a matter of compromise. :)
I hope this can help waze users and developpers.
Best regards

Indicateur de vitesse
Bonjour
Ajouter une option pour gérer la taille, position et la couleur de l'indicateur de vitesse. Les smartphones sont de plus en plus grands, l'indicateur est trop petit, l'option pourrait être x2,x3,x4, voir x5. Pour la couleur, quand il passe rouge, il est impossible de lire la valeur indiquée. L'indicateur pourrait prendre quasi la moitié de l'écran

Allow HOV lanes to be selected in Android Auto
Allow HOV Lanes to be used in Android Auto
Regular Waze allows for HOV routing, but android auto does not allow this selection. It will remember your routing before you enter android auto, but it will not allow switching of routings in the android auto version of the app.

WazeCoin, the NFT of Waze
I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.
First, we have to understand what an NFT (Non fungible Token) is: A non-fungible token is a special type of cryptographic token that represents something unique. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and many other utility tokens, NFTs are not mutually interchangeable. A fungible item, such as money, can be exchanged for another.
So it would be to create a currency, which would be linked to the points obtained in the application that could be traded between its holders and between Waze. When interacting with the application with a login created, the user would earn points that would be automatically converted into WazeCoins, for example, 1000 points would be 100 WazeCoins, but this can be defined after a study of ease or difficulty in obtaining the points.
Here are some usage examples:
- In the virtual store you could buy stickers for 100 WazeCoins, shirts for 500 WazeCoins and other items produced by Waze, such as hats, mugs, etc.
- Create different moods that could only be obtained by exchanging for WazeCoins, and in this regard, moods with different degrees of rarity could be launched: very rare (1-100) that would be worth many WazeCoins, rare moods (101-1000), medium mood (1,000) -100,000), common moods (100,000 – 1,000,000).
- WazeCoins could also be used as payment on Waze's marketing platform.
- People who don't have enough points or don't use the app to “mine” points (WazeCoins), could buy from users who have it or even from Waze directly.
Currency value:
The value of WazeCoin would initially be determined by the initial launched quantity and demand of it, and Waze could have control over this value, releasing more coins into the market. It could align the value of the coin to the value of the products in the store.
Thus, Waze could profit a lot from the currency appreciation or not, there goes Waze's interest in how to manage WazeCoins.I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.

Ad option under navigation for "fastest route".
It seems shortest distance (in miles) is the option Waze gives. In one case, Waze tries to take me over and around the mountain which is actually longer due to very sharp curves.

WaterWaze - River Safety
I am a kayaker and I know I see a LOT of folks on Facebook trying to figure out where items of importance/danger are on their paths - sweepers (trees that have fallen over the water but not gone under), strainers (trees that have fallen into the water, and other debris, as well as places that are good to put-in and take out, or such places that might not be accessible anymore. Water levels/gauges, dams, bridges, shallow spots, dangerous spots... the ability for someone on the water to note any of these things and have it available (especially if there's a way to add a note - "Rocks to left, stay river right") is not only handy, but potentially life-saving. Instead of a vehicle stopped along the road, lost equipment can be noted, such as a kayak that's finally popped loose of a strainer. Basically, it's the same usefulness (if not more, considering how dangerous the water can be), the same premise... just instead of road, you're using waterways and instead of cars and accidents, you're noting conditions and hazards.

White turning arrows
Hi.Great app but recent change is little bit confusing.I’m talking about white arrows at turns.At distance to the junction it’s not clear and instantly obvious which way you should go.Before your route was continuously of certain colour but now because turns are white specifically,it is less visible.If turns were of different colour then white or perhaps the same colour as the whole route,it would be easier to see it straight away “without looking “ if you know what I mean.One more suggestion-when you get one of the routes taking you across the river Thames using ferry service,route time doesn’t include waiting for the ferry or crossing time itself so is not precise at all.I recently used this option and my route was longer by about 45 min.Is there anything that could be done about it?Best regards.Tomasz

UK Railway Network LOW Bridges Add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach
UK Railway Networks has 100s of LOW Bridges across UK. Please add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach and give drivers an option to AVOID low bridges. i.e. ask height of vehicle and suggest alternative routes avoiding low bridges. I am happy to help to source a list of all Low Bridges on UK Rail Network.
Every year in Britain there are about 2,000 bridge strikes, where road vehicles hit railway bridges and viaducts – that's an average of more than five every day. Each incident can cause hours of delays for tens of thousands of rail passengers – and road users – and costs the taxpayer thousands in repairs and compensation.

Aires de repos
Alors tout comme nous mettons de plus en plus en avant les parkings lors de long trajet sur l'autoroute il est conseillé de prendre régulièrement des pauses se dégourdir les jambes s'aéré changer de conducteur quand cela est possible ... puis bon certaines envie pressante (pas besoin d'un dessin) une option afin d'alerter de l'air de repos la plus proches ou la possibilités de les repéré facilement sans avoir a les chercher via les panneau etc qui nous ajouterais l'air la plus proche dans le parcoure.

Waze based stand alone GPS unit
My cell phone is WAY too distracting to me. I know I should leave it set to waze only, but all the notifications distract me. I really need a stand alone unit that only does Waze so that I can leave my phone in the back and not touch it while I am driving. It looks like Garmin has traffic updates, but I would rather have Waze.

Police camera ≠ police report
In some countries, it is not allowed to drive with an app giving the exact locations of police cameras (automatic speed control), waze intelligently gives the area where the police cameras are (very useful alert and the utilization of waze is allowed).
But to fight the concept of the "area" most of drivers post a police location each time they pass beside a police camera (I have observed it, a police camera in Paris France is reported every 15 min, sometime several times).
Consequence : waze gives the exact location of each police cameras everyday, every time.
The problem is when authorities will discover this detail... They will blacklist waze and alll wazers will be punished (the police fine in France when a driver uses a prohibited GPS/app cost $1600 and at the second police fine the driver looses the right to drive)Because a police report to alert a police control inside a control area is useless. Because, in some countries, the utilization of waze becomes illegal when a police report is posted inside a control area, is it possible to do not give the capability to post a police location inside a control area? (To be honest, it is really not complicated to respect the speed limit during 1 or 2 miles)
A police location could be posted everywhere outside these areas and no police camera would be precisely located
Waze is my favorite app when I drive, I want to keep the right to use it.
Thank you
