Police Heat Map
What about a feature that shows popular police trap locations. There are locations in my town that are popular with police to setup speed traps. If those areas could glow blue like traffic areas glow red, I think that could be a great feature. If you could use the information that wazers report, then that info could be processed through an algorithm that show the high probability areas.

Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match…6 votes -
Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not known and…
10 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Maximum speedlimit
One function I really miss is being able to set the maximum speed I drive in. In Sweden, the maximum permitted speed is 80 km/h with a caravan, my eta today is quite misleading as it is based on the current speed limit on the road. So a function where I can set the maximum allowed speed myself would be really good.

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.

Display time stamp for waze recorded traffic.
It would be nice to see how long ago waze recorded the traffic(speed of a user). Waze tried to reroute me because it said there was traffic ahead, but I continued and where it showed red on the map, there was no traffic at all.

audio alerts for everything
It would be nice to have audio alerts for all activity in waze. If there is a traffic jam ahead alert me vocally, same for car on shoulder etc.
I say this because I ride a motorcycle and am not able to view my screen (also it would take my attention from the bike). I would like to be audibly alerted of everything such as speed cams, cops, blah blah :)

Ask about traffic slowdown when going significantly less than the speed limit
When going slow, but not quite slow enough to ask about a traffic jam (e.g. a fairly consistent 30mph in a 70mph zone), especially when in a construction zone, have it ask about a slowdown similar to jams.

I would like Waze to show me the recommended speed to avoid multiple stops while in slow moving traffic jam
Especially when driving regular gear cars, you prefer to drive slowly but steady, rather than stopping and accelerating consistently. This is also favorable in fuel consumption manners. In the long run, if a lot of users will obey this feature it could consequently help to promote the traffic congestion by preventing multiple stops, and improve the traffic flow.

On a feedback there is no ability to report INCORRECT SPEED LIMITATIONS.IE Waze shows 50 KM/hour in a 40 Km/hour area
Need to be able to press the golden diamond and notify speed display incorrect. This could be a permanent road change as on the Esplanade , Lindisfarne Tas. where 50 shows in 40 zone, or temporary restriction for roadworks

Merge two or more alerts
Today Waze prioritize some alerts and you only have 1 visible and audible alert, even if it has 2 or more in the location.
My suggestion is that in this case Waze can "merge" these alerts. Something like "Speed trap and accident reported ahead"
25 votesWe plan to work on merging two or more alerts in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Save Battery by turning off the display when not in use.
Currently when I use waze, my phones display is draining the battery. I have the following suggestion to reduce the battery usage. If you could include this in future release, I am sure everyone will turn on waze even if they don't need navigation assist.
My suggestion
Turn off the display automatically after a certain speed or give the user an option to turn off the display without locking the phone. This will be very helpful to reduce battery usage when you travel familiar routes and long road trips.
Turn on the display automatically when there is a voice command…
19 votesGreat news! The battery saver mode is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Change how ETA works
Other sugestions ask similar but all forget us, cyclists. The eta is always based on cars, I need it to be adjusted to fit my average speed, not using a data stored in who knows where. I want it to update live based on my speed at a time.
