The only problem I have with this suggestion is that we can't be sure where the report marker has been positioned.

If it's at the point where the police are actually located then the current warning distance is definitely too low, but if it's at the point where an alert Wazer has first spotted the police off in the distance (i.e. at the point where the police will also then first be able to spot you approaching them), then the current warning distance is plenty sufficient and extending it might be counter-productive. Warning drivers too soon of a hazard is almost as bad as warning them too late - you want the warning to still be fresh in their minds as they approach the point on the road where they need to be aware of it...

As others have pointed out here, even if we could be sure that the alert was always generated at the appropriate time/distance, the way the app currently behaves when you've got several reports in close proximity doesn't help either - so as well as the popup alert system we have now, it might be nice to have a permanently visible "distance to next report of type X" readout somewhere that we could configure based on which report type we were most interested in knowing about.

Agreed. Allow a user to select whether they want navigation notifications at 500', 1000', etc.

My current version of Waze (IOS 4.35.0.15) tells me about a turn 1000' before the turn. A prior version gave notifications 500' prior to the turn. I find that 500' is much more useful when navigating in a city such as Washington DC. Yet I'm sure there are users that like 1000' so I suggest letting it be selectable.

I hope that a drunk driver at 190 km / h crashes with you after having avoided a police control. Amen!!!!

Espero que un conductor borracho y a 190 km/h se estrelle contigo después de haber evitado un control de la policía. Amen!!!!

The condition of holding a licence is compliance with the laws of the road.

Grow up and accept that if you speed there could be consequences, nobodys an angel, but stop whining if you choose to break the rules and think you shouldnt get caught. Everybody knows that usually the checks are for the worst offenders so eg 10% over the posted limit + 2 in the uk is a low risk, but if youre a scumbag tailgating undertaking audi doing 100 in a 60 or 70 zone you deserve to be nicked the hard way.

Don't speed. Problem solved.

There should be more Alert options.
* Be able to choose different sound-alerts for speedcams and for when you go over the limit you set for the speedlimit.
* Be able to choose distance for alerts before speedcams.
* Be able to set how loud the alerts shall sound.
This is a great app, thank you for a very good work :-)

I agree It definitely needs to be sooner

Adjust advance notice on the next exit in relation to distance and speed. After driving a lot on the highway, I have received a notification so late that I missed the exit when driving at a relatively high speed.

An outer area of 1.5 km.

Being able to change the distance you receive an alert
Such as, irhe ability to change police notifications from 0.4 miles away to receiving a notification at 1 miles

ALERT POLICE FROM 1.5-2km PLEASE!

Get rid of vehicle on side of road alerts. Extremely annoying and useless

1,5km

I agree completly! User should have the option to choose warning distance

This is in line with comments I have read in other places. The ability to set the "Events Radius" with both on "On route only" and a distance would be perfect.

The old version of Waze gave more distance warning for police radar locations.

"With a clear line of sight, law enforcement can detect speeders at 1-2 miles out."

Good! Give them all tickets!

This is exactly what I think is needed. I would also like to be able set preferences for highway/interstate travel vs in town distance preferences. For example on a highway or interstate you need to be alerted of an accident an average of 10 miles ahead to make a change of course, but in city driving you may only need 1/2 mile.

It would be better to have an alert area instead of along a segment. Often on a freeway the troopers are running in both directions. and if you are going in the opposite direction of the report you will not get an alert. Police should be reported as a zone not a point.

+10000 for this suggestion.
For everyone saying driving fast is dangerous and wont get home safely, do some research first.
