It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier.
It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier - maybe even by alert type so that constriuction alerts could be set at 20 miles - and police alerts at 1.

Would like a way to determine the distance I am from a road hazard, police, construction or traffic delay. If there is a way to click on the appropriate icon to see exactly where the problem is I haven't been able to find how. I'm usually a very short distance before being warned which doesn't help much if there's a traffic delay & I might have been able to exit the highway beforehand. BUT I love waze.

Just had Police ahead pop up and two buttons to click - one to say if they were still there, the other to say if they had gone - which is a great idea - but by the time we get to the place should have been, the buttons disappear and even pressing on the police symbol on the map doesn’t bring them back up. Can you delay the buttons displaying a bit longer or have the option to bring them back up please?

Ive been using waze for years now. I would suggest a feature that would allow you to move a alert you post back a distance. Sometimes by the time you see an object on the road and post it you are way past it. Maybe a move back 100 yards or 300 yards or 500 yards button.

"Next turns" has a countdown in distance (miles/km).
"Reports ahead" should have the same countdown in distance.
Would be very useful for CarPlay and for drivers who always take the same roads. -

simplify and speed up input AND give realistic range of hazard location descriptions. On "Identify Hazard Location" page put a touch-selectable graphic to choose (right to left): far right edge (weeds), right shoulder (gravel), right edge of road (painted line), right lane, middle lane, left lane, left edge of road, left shoulder, far left edge, median. Don't tell me "vehicle on shoulder" and have me watching the RIGHT shoulder only to HIT some guy parked almost on the median...

Waze needs to enact this suggestion immediately.

At night we're usually tired and not always aware of the road conditions such as traffic lights.
Therefore I might be surprised by a traffic light and react too late if it turns red.
A vocal warning could help by warning me that a 100m, for example, there is a traffic light so that I can slow down a little and not be surprised if it turns out red.
Not relevant at all in cities, but helpful whenever there are none or few of them, making me readier for them.I could choose the number of warnings, only 1 to make it less annoying, and also the distance before its location (100m, 200m...)
Default of course is "OFF"In risk management severity goes along with probability: the severity of missing a red traffic light should trumps the low probability.
This feature can save lives. -

Rather than *just* alert me .3 of a mile away, why not tell me "miles to next speed camera" - so I might know "on the current route, I've 10 miles to the next (known) speed camera - helpful!

In Turkey the Waze must improve routing and warning especially speed cameras in speed corridors,hidden police radar cars,red light cameras.Google Map works very well for avoiding congestion to offer a new road,but the Waze is very weak with this option.Awaiting new updates.

Keep more time (in Brazil) the potholes harzard on road. Because in Brazil the potholes are difficult to been repared and i need to keep sending the alerts every single day. It will be easer and safer for wazer in my country if the alerts been keep for a week. That´s it!

When the yellow bar comes up it tells me what the hazard is and how far away, but the buttons to thank the person and dismiss it cover the words describing the hazard type. If you put the hazard on top and the distance to it underneath, then the buttons wouldn't block the writing. I think it's a simple change that would make the app look better.

Leave Confirm/Deny (Yes/No) buttons on screen longer (Increase Countdown time) -
Because of the disparity of user entries adding alerts, the exact location of an alert is vague. Often times when I see an alert, the countdown to when I can confirm or deny goes away before the actual alert is there. There have been times I press Deny, only to see the alert around a corner or over a hill, a few tenths of a mile up the road. My suggestion is to leave those buttons on for 1/4 mile or so past the supposed alert to give more validity to the confirmations or denials. -

Was on a major accident 3 miles ahead but no announcement was made. Have to look in the reports to find it. Got stuck in traffic. Need to announce accidents no matter how far away they are on your route. That would give you enough time to reroute. Thank you.

I agree! When a marker is clicked it should have a "not there" button so we can remove the event. Maybe limit it to Knight Wazer or higher?

An "Are you sure it's not there?" type confirmation window for whether or not a hazard is still in/on the road. Or perhaps a timer longer than 15s.

Cristiano Isaac commented
That's exactly what I think too. I think it should do like iGO and other GPS programs that keep a low bip sound when near the radar in the speed limit and a loud alert (another type of "continuous bip" sound) when in the radar area and above the speed limit! Even better if the distance is customized.

When I get an alert for a hazards or police presence, the distance winds down to where the hazard or police is. The is a problem on roads that curve, because you don't see it immediately, by the time you do, the pop up disappears. I think that you should give it several hundred feet before it disappears. This alleviates the stress of agreeing with the sighting before it disappears.
