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.

This is the whole point of Waze, and needs user customization for police alert distance as soon as possible. App is virtually useless without it 😕

I’m not a fan of the latest app update. Previously, the approximate distance was displayed for the item the driver was alerted to. The distance no longer appears. Please bring this back.

Es importante.
Pero no es tan fácil de determinar la distancia correcta, pues no debe ser muy antecipado para evitar confusiones (talvez girar en una intersección intermedia), pero tampoco muy tarde, pues debe permitir de cambiar carriles con calma para evitar situaciones peligrosas.
Aunque hay que considerar, que siempre se muestra la guia de carril con la información de la distancia! Eso sirve al conductor para que no se equivoque y que no gire antecipadamente.
La distancia depende de varios factores: tipo de segmento, velocidad. cantidad de carriles, dentro de una población o afuera, etc -

In the WME, add eligible distance ranges to display the lane guidance in intervals of: (Default, 1000, 500, 300, 200 and 100 meters), to avoid the lane guidance to be displayed early in some circumstances where it could generate confusion to users by intermediate intersections or visual variation of lanes at the end point of the guidance.
(Now the default minimum distance is 450 meters. This distance on avenues or downtown streets in a city, shows the lane guidance well in advance of previous intersections and sometimes the number of lanes from that distance may differ from the point where it is displayed to the end of the guidance due to widening or narrowing of the roadway).
En el WME agregar rangos de distancia elegibles para mostrar la guía de carril en intervalos de: (Predeterminado, 1000, 500, 300, 200 y 100 metros), para evitar que la guía de carril se muestre anticipadamente en circunstancias donde podría generar confusiones a los usuarios por intersecciones intermedias o variación visual de carriles al punto final de la guía.
(A la fecha la distancia mínima por defecto es 450 metros. Esta distancia en avenidas o calles céntricas de una ciudad exhibe la guía de carril muy anticipadamente anteponiéndose a intersecciones previas y en ocasiones el número de carriles desde esa distancia puede diferir desde el punto en que se muestra hasta el trayecto final de la guía por ampliación o reducción de la vía.)

Recent update removed the distance for all alerts (e.g. accident in 0.4 miles). Now you have to look closely at the map the to see where it is. Very distracting and unsafe!

Personally, I'd like to see this as a configurable option (i.e., How far ahead do you want to receive warnings for reported police? Options: far, mid, near, custom distance, speed-based). Bonus points if you can set this per notification type.

Very nice, but folks download the app for more distance. Since users are in the front line posting warnings, the least this app can do is allow more distance, otherwise what’s the point? I can use google maps which is more accurate. Speed based? Gimme a break. Fix it!!

Make the distances of audio navigation alerts configurable.
example: I would like to activate changes of direction only before 200 meters
exemple : je souhaite activer les changements de direction uniquement avant 200 mètres

I'm not sure how critical this needs to be. The majority of the time someone reports Police where I drive, no one is there. Almost as if they reported a cop after they pulled someone over, in which case they aren't going to mess with you unless they have backup nearby.

A setting that allows you to adjust when the speed camera alert plays i.e currently it warns way to early at 500meters , I would like a warning 2 seconds before, not 45seconds.

There should be an option to select how far before to be alerted for an incident..

Its 2022. Where is this update? I'm getting tired of looking at the Waze map for Police markings..... because the alerts are useless.

Count down distance to speed limit change, e.g. "300m to 30mph limit"

One mile police report would be great

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.

Allow customization for the alerts, for example, a pothole that is warned 2 kilometers before where the user is now, is useless, because you will forget that, in that case 100 meters before will be more useful.
Police warnings can be useful 4 kilometers ahead no 500 meters before.
And so on. -

Increase distance so you're told BEFORE cops see you. Right now, it tells you right as you're coming up on the cop. Add a feature where you can increase the distance so it alerts you over a mile out... Otherwise, it's worthless

the still there and not there buttons are too close together and above each other. they should be at the bottom of the screen and next to each other to prevent finger bounce from hitting the wrong button.
