Anything of this kind, is greater than nothing. I’m grateful as it is, to have Waze.

Increase the warning distance for alerts especially law enforcement. 1/2 mile is far too short especially in hilly areas. It’s almost as if you’re on top of the law enforcement by the time the alert activates.

I used to get warnings from 0.5miles away for Cameras and Police back in the days when Cameras were a user Pin. It's been ever so annoying recently as this has changed and I agree there isn't enough warning. And it should NOT warn you only when you are speeding. Wish there was a way to revert to old Waze versions.

Alerts pop up for me as soon as they're reported, and I get an audio warning at least a half mile out.

You're not supposed to speed! They should remove the Police Ahead warning period. Let the police do their job.

And add the toll barrier distance. Police are sooooo often within the 10km of the toll barrier

If you can't see the speed trap you're probably going too fast. You should drive to your own limits not the vehicles limits.

As others said: Allow it to be user defined, and give the user the ability to set a variable tracking feature related to the speed at which s/he is travelling.

Agreed I have also suggested something similar being about to set your own and also incremental ones so it warns you say 1 mile ahead, 1/2 mile, 1/4 mile etc
https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/42566647-custom-alert-distance

could there be an option for custom distances for the warning of police, speed cameras and hazards etc and have the option for multiple incremental warnings

For example if your are on a road and that road has police reported 1 mile ahead have the audible warning at 1 mile, again at half a mile and at 1/4 mile

This would help a lot

I suggest a feature. Choose the distance that the WAZE would alert the user, as today it is fixed at 500 meters before the "object". You could also have an alert, like a beep, before the voice, to get more attention.

Would be awesome to be able to set the police reported ahead distance 👍

Please increase the distance to at least a mile - also the icon needs to be more visible, the blue police icon is on a blue road - please deconflict the colours.

In this case I think its more accurate to help other wazers with not only to report a speedcheck but also to be able to set a distance to it because in some cases we are moving further away from it. So report, set distance easy with 3 options, say minus 50-100-200m (city, local, highway)

hi

I'm on the side of life, safety, continued good health, at all times, but Lee Sprague offers a cogent Big Picture argument that doesn't compromise any of those wishes while making the case for slightly better warnings here. The core of his argument is to curb screen time, AND to adapt to real world road conditions. The safest speeds? Always. But realism about today's road conditions, and perhaps all the moreso in a COVID context, where there are a lot of open roads out there. Upvoting Lee's point.

I don't want to zoom out and have to watch my screen. That's less safe than speeding. Alerts also include other important things, like debris on road, potholes, cars on shoulder. So making the distance alert customizable helps keep our eyes on the road and more alert earlier to be able to react. It's a simple request and feature. Anyone latched onto this being a speeding issue by telling commenters here to slow down and that asking for this is unnecessary isn't grasping the big picture. Please let us set alerts for farther distances (1 mile, 2 miles...)

It’s right and the same increase timr should be applied to report.

Hi, can we increase the distance of a police alert. Mine is set at 0.2 miles which is not enough if they have radar guns they have got you before you know they're there.
