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.

No time added communication is particularly annoying. If the time changes, why not just change the ETA briefly to red to indicate a slow down. You can turn it to Green if it speeds up again

Let us select which alerts we want to receive. The 'Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead' sounds way too often and is not helpful. Let me turn it off!

Really need the ability to select what aleryts you want. People love reporting the car stopped on shoulder but thats basically always in los angeles. It forces me to basically mute notifications ao i can listen to music. Please add another submenu with notification checkboxes please

Join the club ... search in the box to your right for "Please provide an option to turn off the "car stopped on shoulder" warning." and vote for that one... That one is currently in the first 30 most voted suggestions.

Add an option to disable individual notifications, like for an example, pot hole notification muting

I want to be able to disable "Police reported ahead." There are policemen almost in every intersection in our city anyway, and this is becoming a nuisance.

Ability to disable red light camera notifications. Alerts are rather annoying if you travel the same road on your daily commute.

I would like the ability to disable red light camera alerts. I find them completely and utterly useless. I never try to speed through lights. If I do get a ticket from a red light camera, I probably deserved it.
Seriously, those popups obscure upcoming intersections on the map, and the audio alerts are also VERY annoying. It almost makes me want to stop using the app except that I really do need the reroutes around traffic. If Ford's traffic capability on built-in satnav actually worked I wouldn't need to use Waze in the first place!

Yes, please! I know where all the red light cameras are during my standard commute. In addition, I'm not the sort to run lights. Please let us turn it off.

I am not interested in cars on shoulders; it's a needless distraction.

This has never been a valid issue unless the person reporting the issue accidentally tapped "other side" button to report it on your direction instead of theirs.

I have a million red light cameras in my area and I know where all of them are. I really wish I could turn off the red light camera notification because it get annoying really quick. This is a perfect suggestion.

Have the option to turn off some of the alerts like a vehicle on the side of the road.

I have the exact same request. I get constant annoying alerts on my morning commute about stoplight cameras. We have them everywhere here and I don't run red lights either so this detracts value from the App. I've been patient assuming they will eventually fix this, but it looks like maybe not given these posts from over two years ago. :(

Please provide the ability to disable individual reports! I absolutely HATE the "vehicle stopped on shoulder" and "pothole" alerts. They are really distracting. Honestly, who cares that there is a car parked on the side of the road? Plus, potholes are simply a way of life in Norther California -- we have some of the worst roads in the country and potholes are everywhere.

Don't warn people of red light cameras, if you are dumb enough to drive through a red light you shouldn't be behind the wheel, giving them a warning of which ones will get them fines is just going to encourage morons to jump lights, very dangerous

Currently there is no way to disable Red Light Cameras, this should be fixed, In some areas they are constant alerts interrupting music and such. Allow them to be disabled or at the very least link them to Speed Cameras.

This way you can see hazards or goodies pop up but let ones of your choosing not interrupt your music and such.
