Increase police warning distance
Waze users are warned of speed traps or police presence only about 600 feet ahead of time. This is far too late of a warning. With a clear line of sight, law enforcement can detect speeders at 1-2 miles out.
By the time the Waze warning pops up, you could have already been detected.
This feature – while very well intentioned and thought out – is useless with so little warning.

What we are aiming to do here is speed based alerters.

I would like it if there were a way to adjust how far ahead the app alerts you of road conditions such as accidents, police, traffic, etc. some people hit the button far beyond the incident

also allow one to set a report delay handicap
if one's report typically shows 15 seconds (of traveling speed) after location waze should adjust where report peg is set (back in route that distance)
it's a bummer to be notified about officer ahead AFTER passing officer

provide existing report radius feature for police reporting distance
(advanced settings area, or enabling a waze expert mode to show many more options to avoid confusing sheeple)

It could also be, it just got reported so that may also be a cause too.

I think it already does that. i know I have been warned about 1000 feet or more coming to it. At least that's what it does on my Android.

Alternate suggestion: Stop speeding and putting people's lives in danger.
Just a wacky idea.

Just look at the map. If you're speeding and worried about getting caught, zoom out on the map to see farther ahead and the little policeman heads will show up.

Similar to how the zoom is variable based upon speed, I would like to see the notification distance for hazards/slow downs/etc. be variable. The faster you are traveling, the further ahead the app would notify you.
When traveling at, say 35 MPH, 600 feet is probably adequate for most alerts. When traveling at 65-70 MPH, you will fly by the hazard before Waze can get the alert spoken.

Yes I agree this would be good. I feel like I have too short a time to look for the object/item and then respond before it disappears from the screen.

Add a screen in parameters to set different warning distances such as instruction, police, hazard, camera...

Leave the Not here and thumbs up longer. I sometimes click one or the other only to see the car on the side of the road a few feet further o
