  1. Alertas de Lombada.

    No Brasil é muito comum a instalação de lombadas nas vis e isso pode causar acidentes. Seria tão fácil ter esse alerta no aplicativo. Recentemente tive um prejuízo de R$7 mil por conta de uma lombada sem sinalização. Seria algo como buraco na via, só que específico para lombadas.

  4. "Known for having speed traps"

    There are some places, at least in Portugal, that are known for having speed traps occasionally, and, given there's no warning for those speed traps, it would be useful for newcomers

  5. Allow the user to enter a reminder of a street or a location where police regularly positioned.Waze would then remind you to be careful

    Allow the user to put in a location with a reminder /warning for themselves and maybe other users where they know where police regularly set up speed traps. The driver allows themselves to be fore warned.

  6. Audio alerts for speed and red light cameras

    My audio alerts for speed and red light cameras stopped working a few months ago. I'm running waze directly on my phone (Google pixel 7) with the latest version of Android OS and waze app installed. My settings for alerts are correct. I see the flashing camera on the map and text alert on the screen but audio alerts are not working. I live in NYC where cameras are on every other block. Constantly monitoring the phone screen for visual alerts while driving is annoying and dangerous. I see lots of similar posts with replies from waze that the issue…

  9. Avisar y enviar ubicación a la policía de la presencia de infractores

    Waze está genial, pero tiene un defecto tremendo, y es que permite avisar de la presencia de policía. ¿Te imaginas cuántos criminales pueden dar la vuelta y escapar de un control donde les esperaban para darles caza? Pido que, además de eliminar esta característica, añadan la posibilidad de avisar y mandar ubicación a la guardia civil cuando, por ejemplo, te adelantan por la derecha dos locos a 270 km/h que se están echando una carrera.

  10. Avoid using "Watch Out!" For non-emergency

    My wife and I both find ourselves startled and alarmed by the sudden "Watch Out!" voice alert for such things as cars pulled off to the side of the road or an upcoming train track. We don't mind being informed, but save the startle alerts for real road problems. Even the words "watch out" could be used in a calmer manner and still adequately warn of things to be aware of.

  11. Reroute should say if due to accident

    We were driving on the interstate when Waze started suggesting faster routes which didn’t make sense. Had Waze warned “Accident ahead causing .. minute/ hour delay” I would’ve taken notice instead of wondering why Waze was suggesting I get off the normally fastest route.

  12. Police Aircraft Tracking

    It's possible to track airplanes based on N-Numbers and it's also public info which of those planes belong to law enforcement. I think it would be cool to have an alert and icon for police aircraft airborne within a certain radius based on the aircraft altitude to determine the chances they have visibility of where you are driving and alert of a possible air based speed trap. Iowa is a state does this as well as speed cameras as a money grab. Was tempted to make this myself but would rather have it built in to Waze.

  13. Make "still there" foolproof!

    Waze randomly asks "Still there?" or "Not there?" and the button to confirm or deny is equally randomly "Still there" or "Not there". This causes problems with wrong buttons being pressed by accident! All it needs to ask is "Still there?" (never "Not there") with two buttons YES and NO side by side under it. Those buttons should always be in the same place. Making the layout and the question exactly the same each time helps to avoid wrong button presses, and means drivers / passengers don't have to remove their focus from the road to work out exactly which…

  14. Indications regarding the police

    I am very pleased about the alerts of the app, however there is one alert I would recommend to eliminate: proximity of police. It may be that with this alert we are providing very valuable information to criminals that will be very happy to avoid facing police officers, even avoiding police controls displayed to stop such criminals. In the same way these alerts provide a heads-up to drivers that may be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, under excessive speed or with non appropriate vehicles. I do not endorse providing these alerts because of the mentioned shortfalls. Thank…

  15. The traffic direction cant be seen

    When someone post bad traffic on any street and the app navigate you via that street, you can barely see the direction of the traffic. So me as a driver have to lean and stare at a phone up close and thats very dangerous, you agree.. so my solution is, make the red/orange traffic line visible only on one side of the direction line. Depending on the direction of the traffic, if traffic is in opposite direction of ours the visible line will be on the left side/margin and vice versa. I hope I explained it accurate, its easier to…

  17. Section control: show end and average speed

    Only the beginning of a section control is shown. It would be good to show the banner until the end of the section and in the meantime also show the average speed within the section (so you know if you're above the speed limit or not).

  18. Boa noite.

    Boa noite.
    Poderiam incluir o aviso de “pista dupla a frente” por exemplo “pista dupla a 300 metros”.
    Isso faria com que muitas ultrapassagens fossem desnecessárias, aguardando até achegar a área mais segura para a ultrapassagem. Poderia reduzir o número de acidentes.
    Obrigado.

  19. Enhancing Waze: Traffic Mode vs. Navigation Mode

    Problem: When using Waze primarily for traffic and alert monitoring (rather than navigation), essential information like the compass, speed limit, and alert icons doesn’t appear unless a specific destination is set. (I am using ipadOS 17.4)

    Suggested Improvement:
    Introduce a new option in “Settings: General” called “Default Driving Mode.”
    Users can choose between:
    Traffic Mode: Starts Waze in full-screen map mode without the “Where to?” prompt. Provides standard map elements and access to submit/receive alerts.
    Navigation Mode: Retains the current default map with the persistent “Where to?” prompt.
    Consider adding a button on the map display to toggle between Navigation…
