Possibility to report that my vehicle is actually in the opposite lane
Possibility to report that my vehicle is actually in the opposite lane. Many times, at the beginning of the navigation, the vehicle is identified as standing in the opposite lane, rather than in the correct lane. Only later, after a short drive, is the navigation updated. Quite annoying that it is impossible to update even before driving, that I am actually in the opposite lane. If there was such a possibility, there was no need to wait later, after the start of the trip, and while slowing down the traffic around me, until the correct route was updated

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.

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.

Add bicycle to vehicle types
I just started using Waze for cycling. It appears that Waze then interprates my slower velocity as traffic "congestionn." That, I would assume, distorts reporting and, potentially, inconveniences the driving community. I'll switch to Google, for now, and see how that works.

Waze needs a CarPlay app for iOS11 !
Apple Maps continues to be mediocre, though it has improved. More and more cars come with CarPlay, thus Waze needs an app for our vehicle dash screens.

The pop ups in the newest update are too large and block the directional turns
Newest update pop ups are too large and block turn directions in car play - very dangerous to clear them while driving in order to see next turn

F1 (Formula 1) Collaboration
Would love to see a collaboration with F1 (Formula 1). Since Google already sponsors the McLaren F1 team, it seems like an obvious match. McLaren livery on a F1 vehicle icon and Lando Norris providing voice navigation.
Ideally, all F1 teams would be represented. All teams liveries for vehicle icons and other drivers (or commentator David Croft) for voice navigation would be great!

report menu icon is too large
The icon for report menu is taking up too much real estate on the 2D map, it is huge. (And this is very objective because I have a smaller than average screen and not the best eyesight.) This icon as well as the arrow icon could be smaller so as not to cover too much of the map screen. I like north up mode so icon could cover street or intersection or street name.

NO EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS!!!
Take Point Richmond, California OFF the map re-route!! Our streets are many decades old and very narrow. Residents blocked in and emergency services blocked out. I am very concerned as the frustrated, MISGUIDED cars become idling, polluting, revving logjams outside our homes!! Our police are patrolling and ticketing illegal and dangerous drivers.

Multiple vehicles
A quick way to toggle settings between two or more vehicles. When I drive my truck I use the expressways, I use alerts only, and diesel is preferred. When I ride my motorcycle I don't use expressways, I turn on navigation since my phone stays in my pocket, and premium gas is preferred. A way to save particular settings when toggling between private and motorcycle would be appreciated.
179 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.
Thanks! -

Workers Present and Emergency Vehicles
Maybe add a report for highway maintenance workers present. And perhaps generalize police to emergency vehicle present to include fire and ambulance. Police watch the highway for more than just speeders. It’s not always a good idea for everybody (such as drunk drivers) to know about specific police presence

Large Scale Event navigation
How wonderful it would have been to be able to use WAZE to determine which security station had the fastest lines at the Pope's visit in Philadelphia. Some waited 3 hours while other lines were 5 minutes. Walk mode could perhaps help with this.

Hazard ON the Road option
Under Report/Hazard on Road/On Road - one of the options should be, Vehicle ON ROAD. There are many times I find a vehicle broken down on the road which is much more dangerous than a vehicle on the shoulder.
