Waze Now Alerts Drivers to Nearby Cyclists Using Garmin LiveTrack

Waze and Garmin have announced the launch of real-time cycling alerts for drivers to help create a safer environment on the road.

Waze cycling alerts
Going forward, when cyclists turn on Garmin LiveTrack on their Garmin Edge bike computer or Garmin smartwatch, they can choose to show up in Waze as a real-time moving icon.

Drivers will also see a notification when a cyclist is nearby, so they can slow down, stay aware, and share the road.

The feature is completely opt-in, and Waze and Garmin say it is designed with privacy in mind. Drivers only see a temporary alert that a cyclist is nearby, and a cyclist's name, identity, or exact route is never shared in the app. Alerts also automatically turn off the moment a cyclist ends their ride on the Garmin device.

Cycling alerts powered by Garmin LiveTrack are rolling out now globally to Waze on iOS and Android.

Cyclists should not be on the road. They don’t pay road tax and they are dangerous on the road. It should just be for cars
I do pay road tax. As do 83% of adult cyclists according to UK government statistics.

Maybe stupid people with no critical thinking shouldn't be allowed on the road... 🤦🏻

Guessing you are UK based, if so Road tax was abolished in 1935.

If you are referring to VED, that is based on emissions, thus electric car drivers (currently) and cyclists are zero rated.

I'm guessing you are just a dangerous driver?

In the UK, cyclists are only legally required to use a cycle lane in very limited circumstances. Also, the road tax you pay as a driver covers the vast amount of extra stress your heavy vehicle places on the highway.

How much is road tax for cyclists? Sounds like you were conned.
You can be pedestrian, motorist and cyclist albeit not all at once.

I'm happy and feel safe on the road when drivers physically look out of their car windows, use mirrors and focus on the road. This move by Waze and Garmin sounds enticing in theory, in practice it's just another distraction for drivers.
A distraction that implies “not buying into our system. Well eff you and your safety, then”. 😡
