Why would this be shelved? Seems pretty important to me and everyone else!

Shame you wont implement this. Started using TomTom Amigo go instead for this reason only and so have many others. Can choose 10seconds, 20s, 30s etc.

Dear Waze Team,

To me and many other users, the speed camera alert function is one of the key selling points of your product. While the feature itself works as expected, I feel like it would be great to introduce an ability to set the distance at which an alert is triggered manually.
I find the current alert distance to be rather short which often forces me to resort to unnecessarily harsh braking. An ability to set a higher alert distance would be very beneficial to avoid such scenarios and greatly improve the experience of using this wonderful feature.
In addition to the main suggestion, it would also be nice if we were able to set the alert to play even if our speed does not exceed the speed limit as to avoid accelerating unnecessarily.

Thanks in advance for reviewing this suggestion!

I wonder why this suggestion is not being considered! What's the point of a radar alarm if it's too late? Only around 500 meters on the highway is insufficient. Please reconsider this for the 2025 plan.

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

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.

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.

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.

Just looking back, this same request to have user customizable alert distances has been requested for over 11 years. People clearly really want it, but for some reason Waze doesn't want to do it. Eventually another app will take over that offers this important feature I'm sure.

Add distance configuration for police and radar alerts

Whereas when I'm driving 30 mph (50 kph) and there's a notification for a speed/red-light camera coming up in 600 meters, I'll have forgotten about it by the time I get there.

Modern mobile speed cameras have a detection distance of over 1km (0.6 miles) so the notification needs to be at least 1 mile or maybe more before the reported location. The notification distance should be separate to fixed cameras that have a shorter detection distance.

I have attention deficit and would like to be notified with sound until I pass the alert location.

Agreed. Dependent upon how much of a rush you are in, this is very important. Sometimes you’re only out shopping so it doesn’t matter too much whilst other times you are extremely late to Work or for Work. So for example; I am a nurse where I do house visits & sometimes I need to get to a patient’s address very quickly and to be alerted that a particular route is delayed by traffic, an accident oh a police incident would really really help me in deciding if I need to choose another route. Not letting me know 500 feet away when I’m almost stuck in it guaranteed, but letting me know a good five or 10 miles away so I can make an informed decision. I was also once on a major jewel carriageway and came upon a large fridge freezer that must have fell off the back of a van which lie horizontally across to lanes. I reported it via the app only to come back in the direction an hour later, and it was much further away than I reported because of the time delay between, by the time it took me to click report, what I’m reporting and upload time. If I was a hit such a heavy object at 70 MPH, my vehicle would’ve been completely written off and I would’ve been injured, hopefully not hitting anybody else. Being told much more in advance and having a more accurate location pinpointed is definitely vital to this app.

Warning of speed cameras within 500 meters.
Currently, radars are alerted when we are above the speed of the road exactly 500 meters away. If you are below the road speed at 500 meters, but increased your speed between 500 and 0 meters, the warning does not occur. The suggestion is an "IF" logic. SE: speed distance = 500 meters and speed >= "allowed on the road"; alert ON (this is the one that exists). Suggestion: SE: (Radar distance <=500m and speed > "allowed on the road"; Alert ON). In Brazil, we have radars with a distance between them less than 500 meters. When we pass the first, and increase speed, the second is not alerted.

Let us choose how far we want to be alerted of something up ahead. For example a box where we can type a value between 0.1 miles/kilometres and 10 miles/kilometres, keeping the decimal value there. Mainly because I think 0.3 miles is a bit too short for things like crashes up ahead or speed cameras etc..
