Can somebody please tell Waze I don't care about vehicles parked on the side of the road? Or at least that this is not a fundamental safety issue and should be a toggle on feature?

It’s by far the most occurring alert I receive.

I want to receive alerts. I want to know when there’s debris in the road. I want to know when there are police. But not cars by the side of the road. They pose no threat.

This one decision by waze might be the secret to their failure.

Interesting. I very much want to know. A truck drifts into my lane to give the parked car more distance. Any driver doing anything unexpected when I’m on a motorcycle, extra vulnerable to everything.

The parked car itself isn’t a safety issue, what happens because of it might be. Waze gives me an increased edge against other drivers’ unpredictable reactions to the parked car.

It may not be a hazard in your area, but around here there’s about a million bicyclists who have no objection to riding out into the middle of the road in front of fast-moving traffic to go around parked vehicles. Also that parked vehicle could be someone changing a flat tire and walking around their vehicle, or present some other type of hazard. You don’t know why they are parked there, and if you’re driving at night you might not even see them until it’s too late. Obviously other people in your area want to know about these parked cars or they wouldn’t be reporting them.

If you want less information, why not switch to Google maps or OsmAnd?
