Separate dark mode settings for map and menu
I'd like to have separate settings for the map, and the menu/frame, for example I would like night only dark mode for the actual map and dark mode always for the menu and frame.

Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too
Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route
Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too close to the actual point. I would like to suggest that Waze allow users to configure the distance in advance for these alerts (for example: 500m, 1km, 2km).
Benefits:
More reaction time and safer speed adjustment.
Prevents sudden braking right on top of the radar or obstacle.
Improves user experience, especially on highways and fast roads.
This customization would be very useful for drivers, particularly on long-distance routes.

Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue
I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety problem with Waze routing in South Africa.
Waze repeatedly routes users through extremely dangerous areas and known hijacking hotspots in order to save only a few minutes of travel time. This has placed myself, my family members, and many others into life-threatening situations, including multiple attempted hijackings.
This is not hypothetical. There is documented precedent of fatal incidents caused by GPS routing into unsafe areas in South Africa, including the widely reported case of an elderly couple murdered in Cape Town after following…2 votes -
Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback regarding the recent change to the pop-up warning banners for speed and red light cameras. These alerts were previously Red but have recently changed to a dark gray/black color in Night/Dark mode.
I strongly urge you to revert these alerts back to Red for the following safety reasons based on driving psychology and neuroscience:
Visual Saliency (The "Pop-Out" Effect): Studies show that the human brain has a "Saliency Map" that scans for high-priority colors. Red triggers stronger gamma-band oscillations…3 votes -
Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere
Would be great if Waze could project your navigation though tunnels when you lose gps.. instead of trying to find your location elsewhere. It knows you entered the tunnel and shown you the exit to the, but when you lose gps signal it can’t find you and you can take wrong exits.. also stating each trip should allow you to choose tolls or not..

When any type of emergency vehicle is on the side of the road doing an investigation the move over should be reminded i have been in emergen
Construction work. The move over rule should be reminded whether it's a red flashing screen.
Something to remind the driver. Oh, yeah. I'm supposed to move over before it's too late.
At the beginning.
Of the trip, a voice should be activated.
Reminding the driver.
One way or another. Be considerate move over in effect.Unfortunately, some of the drivers we have today.Don't realize that it IS LAW when there is an emergency vehicle, whether it's police or any other type of ESU
ESU = emergency service unit.
For 32 years, I have been apart of the ESU.

change speed bump to traffic calming device
There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.
The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.
If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down methods and…

Give at least one non toll option.
When searching for new routes, always give at least one option that is not toll related. I always have to run a search with tolls on, and another search with tolls off. Almost always when tolls are on, it gives 3 differnt routes all containing tolls. Then when I run with tolls off, the routes are within a minute or two of the toll roads. However sometimes the toll road will be 20 to 30 minutes faster. Requiring at least one given route be non toll, would make checking the speed differnece so much easier and faster.

It would be appreciated to add the "Avoid high-risk areas" setting in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
There are many dangerous streets and neighborhoods here. Avoiding them is crucial for the delay ride.

Colombian address structure
In Colombia, addresses are structured by first indicating the street where the door is located, followed by the number of the intersecting street with the symbol #, and finally the house number. For example, Calle 67 #39-44: the door is on Calle 67, the nearest intersection is Carrera 39, and 44 corresponds to the house number. Therefore, it is incorrect that in Waze addresses begin with the house number, as shown below: 44 Calle 67 #39-44

Não gostei da posição dos alertas no lado esquerdo superior da tela, fazendo com que a imagem do alerta desloque a rota para o lado direito
Não gostei da posição dos alertas no lado esquerdo superior da tela, fazendo com que a imagem do alerta desloque a rota para o lado direito e em um tamanho menor, dificultando visualização da rota. O mais importante em apps de navegação é a rota, e não os alertas. Os alertas são bons, ajudam, porém, deviam aparecer no lado direito, sem atrapalhar a imagem da rota. Gostaria de publicar imagens aqui, porém não encontrei campo. Grato, Roger

Report Pavement Marking conditions
Allow users to report whether the road pavement marking lines are faded, missing, or incorrect. This is especially important at night. Ideally this would also send an aggregated report to the city, county, or state to fix it!

Update search feature in CarPlay
Please fix the search feature in car play. Having a list show up is not helpful if you are trying to add a stop onto your route. Have the search show up on the overview map so then you can pick which insisted best to stop at on the route.
Also,
Please add stop lights visible in the map. Like you can see railroad crossings. It’s surprisingly useful in Google Maps (which I use all the time because of these two great features).
