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.

Definitely, the ability to customize the distance the alerts are given to suit the driver's personal requirements. It also may be different for different types of alerts. For me, for example, I would prefer that a "Red light camera ahead" warning was provided much closer to the intersection than it is currently, as I find with the current warning distance, I can have 2 or maybe 3 sets of lights between me and the "red light camera" set of lights, and I have forgotten there is a camera there by the time I reach the affected intersection.

it's necessary for the user to configure the warning distance for different types of reports

I agree that alerts should be given at different distances, but time/speed dependent. I see little benefit to changing police reports as the majority of the time from my driving the cops are no longer there. I don't think the police report is meant to benefit speeders.

why isnt there a police warning on the local roads?

Are you still there Waze...??

Let waze warn you about a speed camera and a Red Light camera at the distance of your choice and have it warn you at least twice one before getting to it and another as a reminder when you are at least 300 feet from it

maybe set the distance dependant on the density of the roads / road speed limit / road type? For Freeways, leave at 1km, on Local Streets 100 m.

I don't need increased distance and I rarely do the limit - I just pay attention to the traffic ahead.

This is the whole point of Waze, and needs user customization for police alert distance as soon as possible. App is virtually useless without it 😕

I’m not a fan of the latest app update. Previously, the approximate distance was displayed for the item the driver was alerted to. The distance no longer appears. Please bring this back.

Es importante.
Pero no es tan fácil de determinar la distancia correcta, pues no debe ser muy antecipado para evitar confusiones (talvez girar en una intersección intermedia), pero tampoco muy tarde, pues debe permitir de cambiar carriles con calma para evitar situaciones peligrosas.
Aunque hay que considerar, que siempre se muestra la guia de carril con la información de la distancia! Eso sirve al conductor para que no se equivoque y que no gire antecipadamente.
La distancia depende de varios factores: tipo de segmento, velocidad. cantidad de carriles, dentro de una población o afuera, etc -

In the WME, add eligible distance ranges to display the lane guidance in intervals of: (Default, 1000, 500, 300, 200 and 100 meters), to avoid the lane guidance to be displayed early in some circumstances where it could generate confusion to users by intermediate intersections or visual variation of lanes at the end point of the guidance.
(Now the default minimum distance is 450 meters. This distance on avenues or downtown streets in a city, shows the lane guidance well in advance of previous intersections and sometimes the number of lanes from that distance may differ from the point where it is displayed to the end of the guidance due to widening or narrowing of the roadway).
En el WME agregar rangos de distancia elegibles para mostrar la guía de carril en intervalos de: (Predeterminado, 1000, 500, 300, 200 y 100 metros), para evitar que la guía de carril se muestre anticipadamente en circunstancias donde podría generar confusiones a los usuarios por intersecciones intermedias o variación visual de carriles al punto final de la guía.
(A la fecha la distancia mínima por defecto es 450 metros. Esta distancia en avenidas o calles céntricas de una ciudad exhibe la guía de carril muy anticipadamente anteponiéndose a intersecciones previas y en ocasiones el número de carriles desde esa distancia puede diferir desde el punto en que se muestra hasta el trayecto final de la guía por ampliación o reducción de la vía.)

Recent update removed the distance for all alerts (e.g. accident in 0.4 miles). Now you have to look closely at the map the to see where it is. Very distracting and unsafe!

Personally, I'd like to see this as a configurable option (i.e., How far ahead do you want to receive warnings for reported police? Options: far, mid, near, custom distance, speed-based). Bonus points if you can set this per notification type.

Very nice, but folks download the app for more distance. Since users are in the front line posting warnings, the least this app can do is allow more distance, otherwise what’s the point? I can use google maps which is more accurate. Speed based? Gimme a break. Fix it!!

Make the distances of audio navigation alerts configurable.
example: I would like to activate changes of direction only before 200 meters
exemple : je souhaite activer les changements de direction uniquement avant 200 mètres
