Ability to select the types of hazards to enable/disable
Sometimes, certain hazards are not very helpful and are more of a distraction than anything. For example, vehicles stopped on the shoulder, weather, and missing sign are not very important and I dismiss them every time I see it. At times I feel like disabling hazards altogether.

Great news! The ability to disable individual alert notifications is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Allow us to turn off certain notifications. In particular cars/vehicles on side of the road. There is always cars on the side of the road...

For the love of God why is there no way to turn off vehicle on shoulder ahead warning? You guys do realize if you drive through a major city there is literally a vehicle or hazard on the road every 300 yards. Waze has became useless, and I no longer use it in cities.🌆

You marked this as resolved but the only thing available in my "Alerts & Reports" are speedometer and speeding alerts.

And certainly don't make me acknowledge whether it's still there or not before the window goes away

Many alerts like car on, side of the road are not helpful and are more distracting. It would be good if you could choose which alerts to allow.

Get rid of all Alerts and stop pausing the waze map and stop pausing sound or music everytime a popup shows up on waze screen,
if you dont do it, ill come out with a Mod apk that will and i will post it on Mobilism.org and Mobilism.me that have the Waze Modification that removes all your stupid ads

The "reports ahead" tab seems to show everything along the road.
This adds noisy information on long trips with no value.is it useful to know there is a missing sign 130 miles away, or a car stopped 160 miles away?
Instead, filter alerts based on distance.
Something like (illustrative, not meant to be exhaustive):
>150 miles away: nothing
< 150 miles away: heavy traffic
< 50 miles away: fog
< 25 miles away: police,
< 10 miles: everything -

Chicago has red light cameras at most lights. Waze is constantly warning me about them while driving, which is more annoying and distracting than helpful

Please allow option to turn off or change sound for railroad crossing. Its startling and annoying when you are driving in deep silence!! We much prefer the previous voice reminder which was annoying but less upsetting. I choice between sounds, voice or mute would be appreciated.

As someone who enjoys using Waze, I'm about at my wits' end with respect to receiving red light notifications. I drive to work on US Route 12 in northern Illinois. Durimg this stretch of roadway, there happens to be a red light camera about every 1/4 mile. I can't tell you HOW ANNOYING it is to have your music stop playing and listen to "Red Ligjt Camera ahead", over and over and over. I'm struggling to understand why this feature can't be disabled? You can disable just about everything except for red light cameras. I've looked on the internet and there have been folks asking to disable this feature for years and years. Please tell me why this feature is not allowed to be disabled?

There are specific locations of train crossings and red light cameras that I would like to have no notifications for. I’d like the notifications to happen for areas that I don’t normally commute to. But the areas near my home and the roads during my daily commute I’d like to mute. It just seems silly to keep getting reminders for a red light camera near my home. I’m well aware of that red light camera. If I could mute that specific light or even the area near my home, it would be amazing.

Allow Users to mute certain functions. Such as “car stopped and shoulder ahead”.
There’s 3-4 cars tagged a mile where I live. #annoying

I cannot find a switch to turn off red light camera alerts.

Red Light Camera alerts. I honestly don't believe Waze cares about us Waze users as even my local editor doesn't think they will implement a seperate red light camera alert setting. They still believe that by turning off Speed camera alerts it will stop the RED LIGHT CAMERA alerts..wrong Waze.
Can't believe they think so little of us..Very dissapointing Waze.. -

Currently (2021) unless I mute all road warnings/alerts goodies sound with a VERY loud sound. Much louder than the alerts.
I don't want any sound alerts that aren't road related. But according to technical support there is no way to silence them.
So suggesting: Ability to mute goodies separate from alerts.
