Crash
I would like Waze to send push notifications about reported accidents even when navigation has not started yet.
Currently Waze only alerts drivers about accidents during active navigation. However, many professional drivers (taxi drivers, couriers, delivery drivers, etc.) check traffic conditions before departure to plan safer and faster routes.
Suggested feature:
Allow users to receive accident alerts in advance within a configurable radius (similar to the existing distance-based alert settings). This would help drivers:
• Plan routes before starting navigation
• Avoid dangerous or blocked areas early
• Reduce congestion and delays
• Improve road safety
• Save significant time for professional drivers
Waze already has the infrastructure for distance-based alerts, so extending this to pre-trip push notifications for accidents would be a natural and highly useful enhancement.
This feature would especially benefit:
• Taxi drivers
• Couriers
• Delivery services
• Commuters planning ahead
Overall it would increase both efficiency and traffic safety.
