Ability to select the types of hazards to enable/disable
Sometimes, certain hazards are not very helpful and are more of a distraction than anything. For example, vehicles stopped on the shoulder, weather, and missing sign are not very important and I dismiss them every time I see it. At times I feel like disabling hazards altogether.
Great news! The ability to disable individual alert notifications is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Red Light Camera warnings should be optional. It is distracting and unnecessary.

I would like to be able to disable specific voice alerts. For example, I don’t care about stopped cars but do care about police and objects in the road.

Seriously, my house is surrounded by these. I do not understand why this is the only notification I cannot disable. I have all other notifications disabled to enjoy my music while being navigated.

It was foggy on the way to work today. So every mile or two for 45 minutes I got a fog alert. It would be great if you could press and hold Thanks! to get another option for muting Fog alerts (or whatever) for 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes. That way you acknowledge the alert and mute them for a certain period of time. This would apply to construction and other alerts also.

Yeah, I can't use Waze in areas with red light cameras because of how annoying it is. Ridiculous. Such a simple change to make.

The red light camera is the most annoying stuff when you use Waze. Why can you turn off speed camera alert and can not do the same with red camera alert? This is almost a bug. If you do not want to take it out, please resize the window used for alerts, the most important information is covered by this usefulness alert.

Have a mode where Waze will display alerts in a large red box with large letters on the screen(s) and possibly a short beep, but will not interrupt the music volume. Alerts will still attract the driver's attention, but will allow the music to carry on with the DJ. :)

Vehicle on shoulder ahead gets extremely annoying especially on long drives - it would be nice to mute this alert

Need customization on it, so everyone can bring alerts back or mute them

Turned off all voice alerts as they annoy me when listening to music but for some reason I had 3 consecutive voice alerts for Red Light Cameras. WTF. I googled this issue & found out that Waze users around the world have had the same issue since 2013 & Waze have refused to fix the issue. Waze says turn off Speed cameras to fix but that does not work & there should be a seperate on/off switch for Red Light Cameras anyway. Would be the perfect app if not for this issue. Please fix.

Pls allow turning off red light camera notifications. When on many highways red light cameras go off because they are in the town not hwy

All the other things we can customize in this app and this isn't one of them? It's ridiculous. It's basic programming 101.

I see I'm not the only one annoyed with not being able to turn off RED LIGHT CAMERA alerts. Waze response is always turn off speed camers alerts, guess what Waze, that doesn't work. Nothing stops the RED LIGHT CAMERA alerts. Developers should actually go for a drive & use Waze to see what us Waze users have to put up with. Just add a separate on/off toggle for RED LIGHT CAMERAS & make sure it works, please.
Just fix it please.. -

How shameful that after so many years, no respond on making red light camera alerts an option just like speed cameras. WHY MAKE AN ALERT THAT IS USELESS WITHOUT OPTION TO SHUT IT OFF? I been forced into using Google map mainly because of this issue!

This IS DIFFERENT from the Speed Cam warnings. There IS NO CONTROL for RED LIGHT CAMERAS. These damnable warnings scream at me even when ALL NOTIFICATIONS are SHUT OFF!!!!!! FIX IT NOW.
