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.

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
