Vehicle Top Speed (restricted) for ETA/journey time accuracy
This is a feature that I have never seen on any other navigation or journey planning app.
Navigation apps always give an ETA - Estimated Time of Arrival. But how accurate is it really? That depends on traffic, traffic lights, one-way systems, etc but what is not considered is your own vehicle's top speed! Of course learner drivers/motorcyclists can't take motorways but can a(n unmodified) 50cc moped/motorbike attain 70mph on a dual carriageway or 60 on a single carriageway? I know the only time I managed 70mph on my Honda CBR125 was going downhill!

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.

Vehicle type restricred highway alert
PLEASE...When a route includes a restricted road, like the Merritt Parkway, pop up a flash screen that advises no trucks busses or trailers are permitted on the roadway and require acknowledgement. Illegal vehicles are being routed into these road because users either don't care or don't know how to set up their waze.

LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.
A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).
This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.

The road speed is too small, the speed I am going is less important as you can see this already in your vehicle,
Please swap the vehicle speed as that’s bigger & less important with the road speed
I have to keep swapping to google maps to check road speed as Waze too small

have a "slow vehicle" type with a CUSTOM TOP SPEED
I drive antique vehicles which are often slow but i don't mind driving on highways so dont want to check "avoid freeways", i would just like that the navigtion algorythm takes my top speed (50mph for one car 65 for the other one) into account when calculating the route.
this could be set in the "type of vehicles" menu, select "special" and have a customizable "top speed".
then, even on a 80mph road, waze would only consider i'll make 50 and maybe reroute me on a shorter path !
If you want to go further you could even…4 votes -
Use Waze to automatically alert drivers of approaching emergency vehicles
With siren detection software incorporated into Waze, the feedback would allow drivers to know that there is an approaching emergency vehicle. Drivers would know what direction the emergency vehicle is traveling and where they are with respect to the Waze user. We have developed this siren detection software.

Add the capability to request assistance when you are the "vehicle on the side or the road"
Many times when driving and passing vehicles that are stopped on the side of the road, i am often inclined to stop and offer assistance. Many times i have stopped just to find out it is something I can not assist with or something for which they already have help on the way for. It would be nice if you have to pull over, you can self report the vehicle on the side of the road and specify if you could use some assistance or not. Like: need help changing a tire, engine trouble, don't have a phone-need a…

reporting vehicles on the side of the road
when reporting a vehicle on the side of the road, if the "vehicle stopped" icon were on the second screen and not buried, would be safer. 5 user inputs vs. a possible 3 - less time looking away from the road and at the map/device

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.

Ability to self identify as a slow moving moving vehicle or runner.
This feature would allow one to self identify as a slow moving object updating one's position as necessary (every .2 miles?), alerting approaching vehicles. This would allow a runner or a horse rider or road working crew to alert drivers to be alert as the approach. Perhaps with "hazard" lights on the main screen so the user knows they activated this feature. The feature would self disable above 25 mph. And perhaps reactivate below 25 mph unless disabled.

Sound to Car Infotainment Connection Test Button
Setting up / integrating WAZE with a car's infotainment system has a large number of variables with cable, Bluetooth and WiFi being examples. It would be really handy to have a test button that would run through WAZE's range of warnings to test such connections in a stationary vehicle.

Trip price calculation
The viamichelin.com route calculator gives you quite an accurate prediction of the trip price based on a few factors.
- Vehicle average consumption data (by vehicle type, mpg or l/100km).
- Distance.
- Average fuel price.
- Tolls (data publicly available, should be added to Waze).
I believe it would be very useful.
