Alert sound indicating upcoming route change while on the phone
I drive long distances and one of the main issues I have is that when I'm on the phone, there is no alert sound to indicate an upcoming route change. Apple maps will ding to force you to look down and realize you have an upcoming route change. It's easy to get distracted on the phone and not be paying close attention to your next change when Waze is silent.

Allert for heavy/high vehicales
suggestion - to add a feature that allerts heavy/high vehicals, from enetering into restricted road. For Ex - road 395 in israel.
Driver that enters this road without knowing about the restriction will go all the way up the road and will have to do a u - turn, get a traffic report or to cause traffic jam at a specific area where the road is narrow that they cant pass through2 votes -
Don't Popup the "Would you like to enable voice control?" during navigation
During navigation a prompt will pop up asking to enable voice control. This covers the entire screen and doesn't go away until interacted with. In many countries it's illegal to touch your phone while driving. This has essentially rendered waze useless for me and I've had to go back to google maps.

"Other side" reporting of police should ONLY be available on divided highways and interstates.
One shouldn't have to look at the screen to see a marked police location but get no audible report/alert. Please alert for both directions.
People in town or rural highways often use "other side" tag but the police are present for BOTH directions because it's not like they can't be watching lanes each way on regular roads.2 votes -
Allow users to disable hazard warnings in roaming mode
Many (URs) user reports caused by permanent hazards in roaming mode - reporters are driving on highways and app will provide warnings about RR crossings, speed bumps and other hazard alerts located on the side roads.
It will be nice to allow users to disable warnings in roaming mode.Or maybe waze developers can modify/improve “algorithm” to detect speed, road type, etc before providing hazard alerts on side roads in roaming mode?

change shape or proximity of the alert pop up choices to make it easier to hit with a finger
Concerning the pop-up's for alerts: for example when one comes up for a car on the shoulder. The two choices are imprinted on two horizontal bars that are very close together. I find that sometimes although my finger is going to "still there" because the choices are horizontal bars and close together, a small deviation in the car caused me to miss and hit " not there". A suggestion therefore - why not have the choices a different shape, i.e. circular, and separated in a way that mitigates this issue ? I like this app by the way.

Average-speed zone UI and stationary camera voice alert
In landscape mode the vertical green bar for distance to an average-speed zone disappears. Keep it visible in landscape.
Show time of entry into an average-speed zone and the earliest allowed exit time, so the driver can judge speed to the exit.
Add a short voice alert when approaching a stationary speed camera. There is none today.
Thanks

Audible Police Alerts
I would love for WAZE to audibly alert me to a police sighting posted for the opposite direction I am driving. Right now, it only alerts me (audibly) if the police post is on my side of the road. Since I travel on 2-lane roads a lot, it would help if I could be (audibly) alerted to a police post on either side of the road, since most police can easily stop a car going either direction. The audible could say "Police ahead on the left" or "Police ahead on the right."

Headlight reminder on sunset
In Brazil, drivers must turn on their headlights between sunset and sunrise (Brazilian Traffic Code, Article 40, I, a, and Annex I).
When th theme is set to Auto, Waze automatically switches to dark mode at sunset, so we know it knows the sun's schedule for the driver's location.
Waze already sends a reminder to turn on headlights on specific road segments that require them.
I suggest that Waze also remind drivers to turn on their headlights at sunset. Drivers should have the option to turn this notification off in the Waze settings.

Inclusion de alertas siempre de radar e información de velocidad del mismo
Hola, equipo. Utilizo vuestra aplicación a diario para navegar en el coche y me gustaría sugerir dos mejoras en el sistema de alertas de radares que considero fundamentales para la seguridad al volante y evitar distracciones innecesarias.
1. Aviso sonoro siempre activo: Actualmente, la aplicación omite el aviso por voz si circulo por debajo del límite de velocidad. Esto genera inseguridad, ya que me obliga a apartar la vista de la carretera para mirar la pantalla y confirmar visualmente si efectivamente hay un radar y me lo ha detectado. Me gustaría que existiera una opción en los ajustes para forzar…2 votes -
Alerta de voz da velocidade máxima do radar.
Sugiro complementar a informação de áudio sobre radar de velocidade, informando também a velocidade máxima deste radar, assim como acontece com o App Radarbot.

Removal of speed camera warnings
Speed camera warnings are also used by drivers that normally exceed speed limits, which warnings provide a tool to comfortably exceed speed limits, unsafe driving. Therefore speed camera warnings can be seen as intrinsic unsafe.

Tolls Road
I suggest trying—if possible—to create a specific "report" type for countries that have road tolls (like Bulgaria), such as a "BGTOLL vehicle" category; there are many instances where these are reported as police cars, but in reality, they are just vehicles equipped with cameras to check for vignettes.

Alert both directions of travel for police
Maybe this isn't a new idea and has already been expressed here but I think it would be important for both directions of travel to receive an alert of police no matter which side it was reported on, because often it is sitting in the middle between both directions and other times it's a two-lane highway where the police on the other side could still get you. I believe this could also effectively eliminate the need for reporting a police on the other side and just have a single report police button.

AI-Powered "Wake-Up" Alerts at Bottlenecks & Green Lights to Dissolve Traffic Faster
The Problem:
Traffic jams and traffic lights clear up slowly because of human reaction time. When a light turns green or a bottleneck clears, there is a "domino effect" delay as each driver takes a few seconds to notice and move. This significantly reduces the number of cars that manage to pass through during a green light.The Solution:
Waze can detect the exact point where a bottleneck dissolves or when a traffic light turns green based on real-time data from the leading vehicles.Once this "release point" is identified, Waze should send a subtle, prompt audio/visual alert (like a…

Anti-Rubbernecking Alert: Active voice prompt to prevent "curiosity" traffic jams
The Problem:
One of the main causes of heavy traffic jams on highways is drivers slowing down to look at car accidents ("rubbernecking"), even when the accident is on the shoulder or a completely different lane and does not block the traffic flow. This behavior creates "phantom traffic jams" that waste millions of driving hours and increase the risk of secondary rear-end collisions.The Solution (Feature Request):
Develop a smart, location-based alert system that activates when the following conditions are met:Detection: Waze's algorithm detects a significant slowdown near a reported accident, but also recognizes (via user reports or historical…

Thanks in advance!
