Alerts for mobile speed camera - separate from the police
Currently whenever there is a mobile speed camera everyone just selects the police alert. This is incorrect here most the time in NSW, Australia, as the mobile speed cameras are run by a different organisation. The alert should show that it is a mobile temporary speed camera and should make the speed limit clearly visible.
This would stop people having to spam the police alert, making it more useful to be able to trust that the police icon is actually likely a police car.

Police Otherside has been eliminated?!
Police Otherside has been eliminated?! Not showing on roads previously used. Police other side is gone from choices. Why? Many municipalities are about revenue and not safety. Artificially low speed limits are cash cows.

Speed Alert Notification Improvement
Speed alert is not effective.. The speed alert notification sound need to be improved. The current speed alert sound is not enough loud and noticeable. Need an option to enable continues alert sound untill I reduce speed to the speed limit.

On the paw patrol voice it'll be cool to hear. There's a car stopped on the side of the road, i wonder if Rocky has a part for the car.
Other ideas, Zuma, when you get to your location, can say OK dive it, the beginning when you start, we gotta fly (skye) Green means go (Rocky).

Suppress lane guidance announcement when turning lane is a single lane
Currently, on intersections with Lane Guidance mapped, for TTS voices, Waze announces the number of lanes that turn. For example, "Use the right 2 lanes to turn right".
My suggestion is that if there is only a single lane in the rightmost or leftmost position to perform the turn maneuver (whether it's a Keep, Exit, Turn, or U-Turn), Waze do not announce the "Use the right lane to turn right", or the "Use the left lane to turn left". If there are more lanes or more complex maneuvers, Waze keeps the lane announcments.
There are two benefits:

Send lane INTERDICTION alert through the vehicle's multimedia.
Hello, I believe that the following idea is an improvement and it is not a possible bug solution, because the functionality would have been tested before the release of the version.
When trying to send a lane interdiction alert through the vehicle's multimedia, the option does not appear, just using the cell phone without mirroring, I am using a cell phone with an IOS operating system, but the same behavior is seen with cell phones with an Android operating system.
Particularly, I don't walk with my cell phone in hand while driving, nor would I like to stop the vehicle…

Aviso radar siempre
Buenos dias. Normalmente cuando circulas por debajo del límite de velocidad la app marca el radar al acercarse a uno, pero no avisa por qué vas por debajo de la velocidad. En el caso de camiones o furgonetas puedes circular por ejemplo a 100 km/h y que el radar este a 120km/h. El problema es que este tipo de vehículos tienen que circular a 90km/h por lo que muchos radares sin no te avisa te pueden multar. Había pensado en alguna opción que haga que la app te avise siempre de un radar fueras a la velocidad que sea pero…

Photo enforced stop sign
Please add a feature that alerts Wazers about photo-enforced stop signs. I got so many tickets in DC because I didn’t stop for long enough at a 6-way stop.

Seeing other that need assistance
I thought it would be helpful to have an Assitance request in Waze, but I wondered if there could be a feature instead of me requesting assistance for me if it could be for someone else. Also, there was a stretch of highway where I did see someone on the other side pulled over, trying to alert for assistance. I was wondering if that could be a future feature. By the time I got close to the off-ramp to drive the other way, it already was 30 minutes, and I decided to keep going because I was hopeful that maybe…

Detour update
I use Waze everytime I travel. It's a great app and very user friendly. However when it sends you on a detour (ex: because of construction or an accident ahead), it should say why it's changed (why your taking a detour) your original path. I was traveling by myself over night and didn't take the detour, because I was uncomfortable and unfamiliar with the detour it suggested) to take and got stuck in a construction traffic jam.

Still there and Not there buttons should stay for longer.
The "Still there" and "Not there" buttons should saty a little bit longer. By the time you go near and and be able to see the buttons are gone, especially when there other vehicles in front of you and can't see in time.

Add combination red light and speed camera option (Speed on Green)
Combined red light and speed cameras (known as 'Speed on Green' in the UK) are getting more and more common now and need to be mappable. I know other countries also use these cameras, so this will be relevant in other places around the globe.
These cameras are a single unit, but monitor both red light violations AND speed at the same time.
Without being able to map these combination cameras, users are creating URs stating that Waze isn't alerting them properly. Because we can only choose one or the other, this is frustrating for the user. This will likely…

Please allow the points notification to be disabled
Please allow the points notification (blue hexagon with a heart symbol and the annoying sound associated with it) to be enabled or disabled as it is very distracting especially when driving on unfamiliar roads. You are asking the driver to take their eyes off the road unnecessarily. I would prefer to have it disabled by default

Make option to alert BASED ON TIME BEFORE TURN or action as well as DISTANCE.
Alerts based on time ahead of action are more human-centric and based on driving preparation and reaction rather than based on distance alone. Add TIME-BASED as an option for alerts. (E.g. 5 min, 1 min, 10 secs before turn.)

Pick and choose specific alerts
I'd like to be able to pick and choose alerts. I find that hearing "approaching a railroad crossing" every day on the way to work is just annoying. I'm thinking to myself "no ****, Sherlock". Really, the only thing I'm concerned about is where the smokeys are hiding.

Deactivate construction alerts
How can i deactivate construction alerts? For me it is no help to get informed of constructions and it interrupts me unnecessary.
