For police cameras alerts
This is very important, since it occured many times. You have to give option in police camera alerts, to choose at which distance to announce alert. Sometimes it announces very near to the police camera. Give options for example 2km, 1km, 500m etc. so drivers can choose. Also give another option to choose, in same area if settings, that will alert or not, on each specified distance (2km, 1km, 500m etc). Give another option to give continuous alert for speed cameras (instead of alerting on each of above distances), with intervals every 1second, 2 seconds......5 seconds. Also give option to…

Traffic Signs and Alerts Urgently Needed in School Zones
Waze needs to integrate visual traffic signs (Stop signs, traffic lights), just as Google and Apple Maps already do. A crucial missing feature is for the route line to change color when entering school zones, visually alerting the driver to reduce their speed. These visual cues are vital for driving with greater caution and better anticipating stops. If the app is updated to include these suggestions, I will give it five stars, and it will be perfect.

Too many notifications before a turn, can we decide distance before a turn
At the moment I get a notification about 1km before a turn, then about 800m, 500m, 200m. It’s too many. Just a menu item with a list of possible turn distance notifications, and a checkbox next to each so we can decide how many. My own choice would be 800m and 200m, but two is enough notifications for a turn in my opinion. Maybe also a system to adjust these distances depending on my speed. But maybe that’s getting too complicated! But basically give us the possibility to choose.

Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Feature: Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Problem:
When one vehicle hard-brakes on a highway, it creates a backward-traveling shockwave. Due to human reaction times, vehicles behind brake even harder — causing a dead-stop jam with no actual obstruction. These "phantom jams" cause thousands of rear-end collisions yearly.
Proposed Solution:
Waze already collects real-time GPS telemetry from millions of drivers. If the system detects a sudden velocity drop, it could instantly push a "Reduce speed to 60 km/h" advisory to drivers further back — absorbing the shockwave before it cascades.
I Built a Working Simulation:
I've created an…

Turn off speed bumps
Make the speed bump notifications that way that people can turn it off, and to be able to turn off from the map also. It is very irritating when you are driving around the city and the speed bump warning pops up every 5 meters. It’s disgusting and annoying. 1. The alert covers up half the screen, and 2. the small yellow icons on the map are annoying as well because you cannot see the street names because of them.
Please just make an option where you can fully turn off speed bump warnings if you dont give a f*ck…2 votes -

Radar de tramos.
Sería una buena actualización si cuando vas por radar de tramo te indicara la media de velocidad que llevas. De esta forma puedes adaptarte mejor al límite de velocidad. En muchos casos no te das cuenta del límite de velocidad
y lo rebasas sin darte cuenta.
Podía indicar, o algo parecido a: "Velocidad media superior a la del tramo".2 votes -
Allow users to confirm alerts only if they are near it or have passed it in the last 2 hours
I was checking a route before starting to drive and accidentally confirmed a alerts that are impossible for me to know of. Being able to cancel the confirmation would also be good.
Maybe internally there is a score of certainty based on data about the users making/confirming the alerts?

Alerting when a school bus is stopped with the stopped arm out
I would like it if waze lets people know when a school bus is stopped when the stopped arm is out/red lights flash because I hear too many close calls with kids getting hit while getting on and off the school bus

Alert regarding illegal waste disposal sites.
Hello Wase!! My name is Carlos Reckert, I am a software engineering student and I am currently developing a university extension project on the UN SDGs. My idea is that, since there is already a feature to report potholes in the road in the application, a function should also be added to report locations with irregular disposal of household waste and debris. This would be another public and social utility promoted by your platform. The social impact would be significant not only in my city/community, but anywhere there is an active user willing to engage. This initiative would facilitate the…

Pothole in specific lanes/ on shoulder and other stuff too
I want waze to say a couple of things
1. I like the idea of knowing where potholes are on the road but I would really like it if it said what lane it’s in and what shoulder it’s on that way I’m not noticing it at the last minute
2. I would really like it if waze said in 1,000 feet turn left or right onto this or that road I miss it when waze says that it would be really helpful for a lot of wazers imo2 votes -

Ajouter la possibilité de signaler une importante fumée
Bonjour,
Pouvez-vous donner la possibilité d’ajouter la possibilité de signaler une importante fumée.
J’ai utilisé le signalement « pollution » pour indiquer une fumée importante, mais ça n’est pas super pertinent.

Police points
Can you give points for a police officer only after it’s been “liked” or “confirmed” by someone else. It seems a lot of people randomly report police when no one is there and I feel like it’s just for points. Like I’m literally driving and out of nowhere it pops up on my alerts right in front of me but there’s no cop present. Also if there’s one cop can you set a proximity alert so people don’t report like 5 of the same cop.

Alerta de Voz por limite de velocidad
He realizado la configuracion requerida para activar la alerta de limite de velocidad y veo que el sistema emite un Bep cuando se sobrepasa el limite de velocidad. Sin embargo, este sonido es casi imperceptible. Por favor me podrian indicar si es posible cambiar el sonido de este Bep por una alerta de voz que indique, limite de velocidad superado.

Sebességcsökkentő küszöb jelzés probléma
Gyakran haladok olyan útvonalon, ahol sok sebességcsökkentő küszöb van. Az erre figyelmeztető hangjelzés, valamint a túl sokáig lebegő értesítés legtöbbször zavaró. Szeretném ha opcionálisan be- és kikapcsolható lenne a sebességcsökkentő küszöb jelzés, mert túl sokszor tereli el a figyelmet. Bőven elegendő a például 1 km-es szakaszokon az a 15 kis ikon a térképen.

Suggestion pour signaler les animaux morts sur la route
Bonjour,
Je souhaite vous suggérer une fonctionnalité qui serait très utile pour la sécurité des conducteurs : la possibilité de signaler les animaux morts sur la route, un animal est avant tout un être vivant et non un objet.
Dans ma région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, c’est un problème fréquent et cela représente un danger pour la circulation. Pouvoir avertir les autres conducteurs via Waze / Google Maps pourrait prévenir des accidents.
Merci de prendre en considération cette suggestion pour améliorer la sécurité de tous, et le respect de ces animaux.

add new alert
Hello,
I have two feature requests that would significantly improve the user experience:
1. Please add a notification when the GPS signal is lost.
In the current version, the app can lose GPS without warning, which causes confusion during navigation.
2. Please add the ability to select the starting point directly from the map.
This is very useful when planning a route from a different location or checking a route for someone else.Thank you for considering these improvements.
Best regards.
