Waze, please provide ▪MOAR▪ detailed information to commuters

Waze needs to show moving sheriffs, travelling police, moving highway patrol to increase the safety of those they serve.

Show direction, velocity, acceleration, frequency, heat map, color coded aging of alert, credibilty, disallow removal by those within close proximity who are stationary, disallow removal of other alerts by those respectively stationary near other [recently] active alerts, disallow removal by those who only mark not-there, grant higher confidence to faster than herd commuters, provide ETA based on which percentile group of commuter, tie traffic alerts to marked police for better estimation of dissipation (with color coding).

○ sheriffs are in conspicuous vehicles in high contrast black & white

○ sheriffs wear uniforms to stand out from everyone else

○ finding sheriffs without waze is not difficult

These high visibility vehicles inspire panic in hand-to-mouth commuters oft resulting in

• unexpected breaking

• truly reckless behavior

• slowing without break lights

• rubber-necking caused mass delays increasing risk of rear-endings

Sheriffs driving both slower than the herd & slower than outdated posted limits benefit no one, obstruct commerce.

These facetious requests to censor map information is inanity & unamerican. Currently Sheriff Association is the whine festival.

♢ criminals intent on harming sheriffs will listen to police radio to find sheriff's location.

♢♢ should we ban radio use?

Less information obviously will not stop crime. Better information allows better decisions. Please don't treat everyone like criminals. Innocent until proven guilty? Remember!

More restrictions makes no one safe. Gun licensing and firearm right-suppression undermine right to life from conception to natural death, and demonstrably increases crime. Everyone has a RIGHT TO THE TRUTH.

The road is less safe with absurd limitations.

%▶ if safety: 9 mph

%▶ if pollution reduction or efficiency: 92 mph

Fast driving is not reckless. Slow driving can be reckless.

▶ roads are built for commerce

▶ commuters pay taxes

▶ cities don't exist to be profitable

▶ citizens aren't a money tree

Waze helps tax payers effect prudence.

● police should be pursuing those who perpetrate violence against others after a crime.

● police are not performing their sworn duty well by collecting artificial undemocratic taxes.

● highway patrol was created to help commuters with road-side difficulties prior to the age of wireless phones.

wTL;dr

■ more information better

■ censoring is not better

■ do not treat everyone as a criminal

■ say NO to impoverishing efficiently driving commuters

■ fixed limits are outdated per se

■ dismiss with prejudice sheriff association inane request

May God bless America and its internets.

Also allow for hands free report enhancements

This would be a useful feature, not only for speeders. When you see a speed trap up ahead, there is panic breaking, that can be dangerous in its own way.
I like knowing that there is a gatso camera up ahead, as it gives me time to adjust my speed and change lanes if ness assay to avoid the panic breaking of other motorists who suddenly see there is a speed trap ahead.

This is especially useful in places like the USA and in Europe, where truckers are speeding. Going over there limited speed and other traffic with towed loads.

Whilst driving today, I saw someone driving at 75 - 80mph towing a rowing boat. My father was driving, and we were both speculating on how soon the load would displace causing an accident.

It was useful knowing there was a police trap up a head in the form of a gatso, so my Dad changed lanes, so he wasn't behind the driver towing the rowing boat, when its driver saw the speed trap. Like magic, the driver towing the boat, panic braked and I watched as the boat he was towing fish tailed as he braked suddenly. No accident, but proof there are morons on the road, speeding beyond the towing speed limit.

This feature would Defernatly help :0)

Agreed

Add warning of approaching to a speed camera in the 300 meters from the camera and in the 100 meters from the camera as happens in approaching an intersection or square

It's often difficult to tell where the hazard is in many reports. Living where 4-10 lanes in one direction are common and high traffic density is common in many areas, trying to look everywhere isn't practical if I also don't want to drift of miss the vehicle ahead of me making a sudden stop. An indication of left, right, center, specific lane, on my side or the other side near the divider would be quite helpful.

While I would like to have more lead time, I often loose the opportunity to confirm or deny the existence of the Police or other hazard because I don't see it before the pop up goes away. Looking at the map for location to hazard vs present location frequently is an excellent way to add another hazard and I'd prefer not to do that. I often miss commenting on this because I pass the point and don't see the concern named or I report 'Not There' and then see the hazard 30 seconds later. If I knew that I would have opportunity to mark it for some time / distance after the hazard, I could more safely check to see if it's still there or not without loosing the opportunity to vote or making the wrong vote and not being able to reverse it.

People who don't understand why this increase in warning distance as it's been suggested simply don't drive a motor vehicle long enough to grasp the need for it. See, you are in possession of such a device/app/apk/whatever that can warn you of every road hazard and it 'could' do it timely and let you know precisely everything about road conditions and could do it better than any other device ever could. What good is it if it does it too late?

In urban areas, where the speed is lower, the voice warning system is activated at 800 meters, 200 meters and 10 meters indicating the correct side (left or right).
On highways where the speed is much higher, with higher risk of accident, the alert occurs at 10 meters. If the vehicle is not in the correct range, it will be virtually impossible to follow the route correctly. The voice alert system is very important.

Since the reported location cannot be edited, some locations may be reported several hundred feet AFTER the real location. Extending the warning distance will help in those situations

I don't get why there is a police report feature in the first place.
What's the reason for reporting? To alert someone that is committing a crime, so he doesn't get caught. This is wrong.

Agree-the longer the warning the better - also.easier if waze shows yards continually not feet .

Annoying countdown in yards then switches to feet .

vote for android's Expose Intents feature request

A 1/2 mile alert for police ahead is utterly useless. Either allow it to be extended to over a mile, or automatically extend it a similar distance, by average speed. Also, an alert for police reported on the other side of a divided highway would be nice, too.

The announcement "Accident reported ahead" does not give enough information to the driver.

As Waze has the location of an accident why not announce it or at least show it the same way that police or speed traps are announce.

If you think about changing, please make it user adjustable. Those big distances (i read 5280 feet) may be right for the US but they are surely not for many other countries.

I'd also like to hear a distinct audio alert with the police warning, as well as "object in road".

I agree! When a marker is clicked it should have a "not there" button so we can remove the event. Maybe limit it to Knight Wazer or higher?

An "Are you sure it's not there?" type confirmation window for whether or not a hazard is still in/on the road. Or perhaps a timer longer than 15s.

My memory says that when I started using Waze, the alert distance was longer. I agree this should be user customizable for both police and other hazards, and making it speed dependent, or longer on freeways, would be a nice feature as well.

To the poster who said "Stop speeding and putting people's lives in danger" - you do realize that it's safer to drive with the flow of traffic than to be a rock in a stream correct? And when was the last time you were on a freeway in the US where the vast majority of road users *weren't* speeding?
