It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier.
It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier - maybe even by alert type so that constriuction alerts could be set at 20 miles - and police alerts at 1.
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Was on a major accident 3 miles ahead but no announcement was made. Have to look in the reports to find it. Got stuck in traffic. Need to announce accidents no matter how far away they are on your route. That would give you enough time to reroute. Thank you.

In urban areas, where the speed is lower, the voice warning system is activated at 800 meters, 200 meters and 10 meters indicating the correct side (left or right).
On highways where the speed is much higher, with higher risk of accident, the alert occurs at 10 meters. If the vehicle is not in the correct range, it will be virtually impossible to follow the route correctly. The voice alert system is very important. -

The announcement "Accident reported ahead" does not give enough information to the driver.
As Waze has the location of an accident why not announce it or at least show it the same way that police or speed traps are announce.

I agree! When a marker is clicked it should have a "not there" button so we can remove the event. Maybe limit it to Knight Wazer or higher?

An "Are you sure it's not there?" type confirmation window for whether or not a hazard is still in/on the road. Or perhaps a timer longer than 15s.

That's exactly what I think too. I think it should do like iGO and other GPS programs that keep a low bip sound when near the radar in the speed limit and a loud alert (another type of "continuous bip" sound) when in the radar area and above the speed limit! Even better if the distance is customized.

When I get an alert for a hazards or police presence, the distance winds down to where the hazard or police is. The is a problem on roads that curve, because you don't see it immediately, by the time you do, the pop up disappears. I think that you should give it several hundred feet before it disappears. This alleviates the stress of agreeing with the sighting before it disappears.

it would be nice if you could add an option that you choose how far you get the alarm (500m , 1km, 2km before the spot)
.. Even add a option that you choose when you get the alert (everytime, above the speed, never)And it would be nice if you make a sound alert for other report, not just the radar.. everything that we can choose to get the alart or not in settings.

So when I'm in traffic I have this awful need to know too much, so I want a display while in traffic that says how long the current yellow/orange/red area lasts, in distance

Please make alert distance adjustable. 300 meters is not far enough for hidden cop traps as your already within their kill zone.

Bring back 1 mile notification for cops!!! 0.3 miles is too close. Especially on straight roads. Their radar gun can reach that far. Also people are sometimes late marking them making it even less than 0.3 miles before actual warning on screen.

I need more time to confirm or "not there" hazards, police, etc. Why not 30 sec? There have been a few times when I pressed "not there" only to find that the hazard was just a little further down the road.

When the "not there" option pops up for hazards and police it often disappears before I arrive to where it should be so you aren't able to click 'not there' by the time you reach the mark. It should remain on the screen longer or be a clickable option when you open the hazard or police reporting.

An option to choose when an Speed Cams (Radar) Report should appear, at "X" distance. This is very usefull and I don't know why it doesn't let us to chose at "x" distance from the Speed Cam we should be warned. Really 300Meters from the Speed Cam its so far. Let us decide them.

I noticed that while it displays the distance to the road hazard or Police presence in feet (in USA), the real distance are much farther, approximately 3 times farther. That makes me think that numbers are in meters, though shown as feet.

I would like it if there were a way to adjust how far ahead the app alerts you of road conditions such as accidents, police, traffic, etc. some people hit the button far beyond the incident

Similar to how the zoom is variable based upon speed, I would like to see the notification distance for hazards/slow downs/etc. be variable. The faster you are traveling, the further ahead the app would notify you.
When traveling at, say 35 MPH, 600 feet is probably adequate for most alerts. When traveling at 65-70 MPH, you will fly by the hazard before Waze can get the alert spoken.

Yes I agree this would be good. I feel like I have too short a time to look for the object/item and then respond before it disappears from the screen.

Leave the Not here and thumbs up longer. I sometimes click one or the other only to see the car on the side of the road a few feet further o
