Motorcycle Mode
AI-powered navigation optimized for motorcycle riders
Motorcycle Mode is an AI-enhanced navigation feature built into Waze that provides specialized routing for two-wheeler vehicles. Using machine learning and real-time traffic data, it incorporates motorcycle-specific shortcuts, road restrictions, and hazard detection. The mode highlights rider-specific dangers like potholes, speed bumps, raised crosswalks, shoulder endings, and narrow bridges. Powered by community-driven reporting and a dedicated group of motorcycle map editors, it delivers accurate ETAs and safer routes. Launched in July 2026, the feature is initially available in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, and the Philippines on both Android and iOS.
