Weigh vehicle position to show more of road ahead.
Weigh vehicle position towards back of map to show more of the route yet to travel rather than center of map when in a north-up mode. Currently the cursor is in the center of the map showing much of the route you have traveled. This would make better use of the small screen to show what's ahead.

Waze has the framework to potentially help avoid chain reaction vehicle accidents
I have been studying chain reaction vehicle accidents for years and I belive that Waze may have most of the architecture already in place to alert drivers not yet at the accident scene to slow or stop, which would minimize or eliminate the wreckage, injuries and deaths that occur when low-visability causes vehicles to continue running into a crash site, creating a chain reaction accident. My request is to communicate with one of your engineers to discuss the concept.

Add 5 second automatic "Go now" and "Resume" for Motorcycle Vehicle Type
Hello,
I ride a motorcycle and the last thing I want to be doing is messing with my phone on it. There is a feature for a normal private vehicle that "resumes" or clicks certain buttons after about 5 seconds without the user doing anything. This feature does not appear to be available for the motorcycle vehicle type.
Please please please add this as it would make using Waze on a motorcycle much more safe.

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.

When a vehicle is broken down in the middle of the road, we aren't able to report it or say which lane is blocked.
When we come up to a vehicle that is disabled in the middle of a road, we can only report it as being on the shoulder. We need to be able to report it as blocking the road and report which lane is blocked/closed.

Select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway
Users should be able to select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway.
When driving on a multi-lane road, there's often reports of a hazard that cannot be seen. It would be more useful for "Which lane is the hazard in?" then select 1/2/3/4/5 so that drivers know specifically if it is likely to affect them.

Navigation for large slow and articulated vehicles
For motorhomes and towing a trailer, it’s important not to be sent down narrow lanes, or to be turned right at busy junctions.

Latest version of Waze is really bad. Instead of announcing “vehicle on shoulder” it now says “hazard” so while I’m looking for a rock…or
Vehicle stopped can be severe danger if the vehicle is on the road or on a narrow shoulder. A hazard is generally an avoidable pothole, tyre bit, rock or something in the middle of the road. Please return to announcing the hazard type such as vehicle stopped!

WAZE to avoid ULEZ zones - type in your vehicle reg before travel?
In April 2019 central London areas operate a 24/7 charge for vehicles which don't pass the ultra low emissions zone. This is the same boundaries as the congestion charge. This is in effect a toll. The only way I can see WAZE controlling this is that the driver must enter their reg that they are driving so that WAZE knows to avoid this toll. My car for example will fall short of the ULEZ, whereas my girlfriends will not so it is dependent on what you drive. Will WAZE build this into their app as a way of avoiding…
38 votesGreat news! The feature to avoid ULEZ is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Vehicle icon idea
I think for the Star Wars fans out there, you should make a YT-1300 Light Freighter as a car icon. You should be able to avoid the potential issue with Disney if you call it by it’s ship model and not the iconic name Millennium Falcon. Would be a great thing to offer for May the 4th be with you.

Assistance information for vehicles on shoulder
It would be nice to know what a vehicle stopped on the shoulder might need if they need assistance. It's dangerous to try and back up down the shoulder after passing a stopped vehicle and noticing that they are struggling to change a tire or need some water or gas.
It would be great if a stopped vehicle could post "need help changing tire" or "out of gas". To get that information ahead of time would allow the ability to make a decision about whether to stop or not and to be able to do so safely.7 votes -

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.

I suggest that you add a feature that lets the driver know from which direction an emergency vehicle is coming.

Manually set Speeds for different vehicle setups
I use Waze to drive a jeep, jeep & trailer, bus and trucks.
Legally towing, bus & truck must travel at lower speeds in the cars and jeeps.
It would be really helpful if we could:
1) create different vehicle profiles for the same driver and switch between them.
2) Have the option to be able to manually input the max speeds for vehicle profile eg National roads in Ireland are 80km for bus, truck and towing and 100km for bus and 90km for truck and towing on motorways. This would be more for calculating journey times than speed warnings…
