I have attention deficit and would like to be notified with sound until I pass the alert location.

Agreed. Dependent upon how much of a rush you are in, this is very important. Sometimes you’re only out shopping so it doesn’t matter too much whilst other times you are extremely late to Work or for Work. So for example; I am a nurse where I do house visits & sometimes I need to get to a patient’s address very quickly and to be alerted that a particular route is delayed by traffic, an accident oh a police incident would really really help me in deciding if I need to choose another route. Not letting me know 500 feet away when I’m almost stuck in it guaranteed, but letting me know a good five or 10 miles away so I can make an informed decision. I was also once on a major jewel carriageway and came upon a large fridge freezer that must have fell off the back of a van which lie horizontally across to lanes. I reported it via the app only to come back in the direction an hour later, and it was much further away than I reported because of the time delay between, by the time it took me to click report, what I’m reporting and upload time. If I was a hit such a heavy object at 70 MPH, my vehicle would’ve been completely written off and I would’ve been injured, hopefully not hitting anybody else. Being told much more in advance and having a more accurate location pinpointed is definitely vital to this app.

Warning of speed cameras within 500 meters.
Currently, radars are alerted when we are above the speed of the road exactly 500 meters away. If you are below the road speed at 500 meters, but increased your speed between 500 and 0 meters, the warning does not occur. The suggestion is an "IF" logic. SE: speed distance = 500 meters and speed >= "allowed on the road"; alert ON (this is the one that exists). Suggestion: SE: (Radar distance <=500m and speed > "allowed on the road"; Alert ON). In Brazil, we have radars with a distance between them less than 500 meters. When we pass the first, and increase speed, the second is not alerted.

Let us choose how far we want to be alerted of something up ahead. For example a box where we can type a value between 0.1 miles/kilometres and 10 miles/kilometres, keeping the decimal value there. Mainly because I think 0.3 miles is a bit too short for things like crashes up ahead or speed cameras etc..

Hey Google, please assist law enforcement by notifying drivers earlier in advance of a police presence ahead. Those officers are stationed there for a reason, to slow traffic down. Please assist them by notifying drivers well in advance so we can comply with this safety necessity. Respectfully, keep up the great job with Waze!

Sure, "Don't speed" is a "simple" solution, but so is "don't look at Waze when you're driving because it means you're taking your eyes off the road, yet everyone here does that. I see people panic braking when they see a cop even if they're going below the speed limit.

If you don't want the notification because you're holier than thou and don't speed, then simply turn that notification off - it's really easy to do.

And, this issue seems to be like the one on Microsoft Excel's UV to quit mangling numbers when importing into an Excel file - it's been sitting there for more than a decade with thousands of up votes and it's been ignored too.

Big companies like to claim to listen to their users by putting up these sites, then they simply ignore them.

There are countless requests for this, already, however it seems as though they've not been added up together. This really is an easy fix that shouldn't require interaction or trouble with any other app feature. 1/2 mile is simply NOT enough, and I primarily drive in hills and curves - this would be even worse for those on flat land, farms, and desert areas!

It has been 12 years since this was originally posted, 5 since you replied, and I still have drivers ahead of me panic spiking their brakes because they get alerted of speed traps 600 feet from the cop. The worst part is that there's an easy solution for me as a driver: constantly looking down to check my map and physically look for the police icons, meaning I'm constantly taking my eyes off the road. I don't know why this has taken over a decade to fix, but it's literally on the front page of your feedback site. Please implement customizable distance for alerts, speed based is fine as an option just give us the ability to set it manually as well. Thank you.

Speed camera alerts are given 1/2 mile in advance which is way too soon in a 25 MPH urban environment. Audio alerts should be part of user preferences and provide the option of Alarms as vehicle is 100, 50 and 10 meters away.

Allow users to receive any active police locations within for example 5, 10 or 20 miles or feature off when opening the app

Currently, Waze provides an audible alert in terms of time duration to the next turn when it is many miles away. This should change to distance, as it is for shorter distances. Time duration varies from driver to driver and varies based on traffic conditions, whereas alerting a distance is always accurate. Accuracy is important.

.3 of a mile is pointless. You’re on top of them before you can react. A full mile would be much easier. Or some choice of options so the driver can select their own value.

this needs to be a minimum of 1 mile, but 2 miles would be better

In NYC, there are so many speed cameras everywhere. When Waze gives the first warning that a camera is ahead, the driver has so much to focus on, that u can forget once you’re really near the camera. Can you please give us a configurable option for a secondary alert for when the camera is 100 feet away, 50 feet away, etc., if the camera is flashing/relevant for the direction one is driving?

Definitely need police notifications earlier. Almost pointless for mobile camera vans in Uk as their range is much more than the current warning time/distance.

There should be an option for custom selection.

It would be ideal if users could specify how far in advance they want the notification. If it must be a fixed distance (not user changeable) 1 mile notification would be better than the current approximate .4 notification.

You did a great job. For distance to speed camera 500 m is not enough especially in highway. It’s better to be at least 1km. Now when I hear a warning I have no time to react - the camera is just in front of me!

Using Waze on Android Auto, the speed camera notification only appears 10 metres ahead. This is too late. I suggest showing this notification at least 100 metres before it.

Don't speed, simple.
