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.

What we are aiming to do here is speed based alerters.

The current distance which a user gets a road report is 500m away from the event. Can this be adjusted by the user in Waze settings I.e up to 3km?
500m is not enough

@Pieter The Believer: if all the traffic is stuck for 2 hours, the live data from Waze will automatically reroute you to a better route, if there is one.

It is not so much about speed but more about roadblocks. Here, it is also not about driving drunk or being a criminal. As it stands, one can get caught up for a long time (my record is two hours after an 11-hour journey). Of course, Waze would not want to support speedsters, drunk drivers or criminals, but users will report them all under Police in any event. So an early warning should come before you make a turn onto o road where they are present.

Contact your CM and ask to configure it like you wish. It's possible.

Please make police alert more customizable in terms of distance before you get to the police so many people are wanting this how many up votes do we have to get for you to implement it?

Have different distances that you can set to be notified of a speed measurement camera for instance one at 800 m another one at 300 m and another last and final warning at 100 m with an audible tone as well.

Please! Add the ability to manually adjust the distance to warnings about speed cameras, accidents, and other hazards.

Increasing the police warning distance would greatly benefit Waze users, similar to early alerts seen in . https://multiplayercarparking.com/. Extending this range enhances safety and reaction time.

Make alert distances customizable. The alerts are great but it’s hard to move over when you find out the lane is closed 600ft in front of you. Or that theres 6 miles of traffic that it tells you about after you passed the last exit you could have gotten off or that there’s cops ahead when you can already see them. I believe customizable alert distances for each type of alert could solve this problem. For those who want all the information up front they can have very early alerts. For those who don’t want the annoyance of constant notifications they can have short alert distances. This feature would make the app 10x more useful and customizable to fit each users taste.

It's now 2024, I was literally look for a way to contact them about this. Only to come here and see that its been over a decade since someone reported and still no solution.

Fully agreed! 1 km away is too far away--especially if driving at only 50km/h...that's like over one minute away...needs to be more like only 10 seconds.

I get warnings two to three minutes and 10 city blocks before the camera. I just paid my third speeding ticket using waze.

Adjustable distance setting for alerts e.g. 0.3miles, 0.5miles, 1 mile, 2miles etc from hazard, police.

Would it be possible to have in the Waze configuration an option to setup the distance prior the location of a hidden police that would be triggering the alerting verbal message ? Often, the verbal alert is given too late (150 m before the location of the police).
