Audio alerts for speed and red light cameras
My audio alerts for speed and red light cameras stopped working a few months ago. I'm running waze directly on my phone (Google pixel 7) with the latest version of Android OS and waze app installed. My settings for alerts are correct. I see the flashing camera on the map and text alert on the screen but audio alerts are not working. I live in NYC where cameras are on every other block. Constantly monitoring the phone screen for visual alerts while driving is annoying and dangerous. I see lots of similar posts with replies from…

insufisant speed limit notification
Hello and Happy New Year to all.
It remains for me 2 major gaps for waze and one interesting improvement.
- The sound alert only when over speeding is insuffisant and already cost me 1pt on my licence when I accelerate to overtake. ..
You can not look at the screen constantly we must keep an eye on the road. Then configurable audible signal for danger zones is therefore indispensable.
- The speed is not displayed or set as she is known by the apk.For the improvement is to advertise only hazards on the road on which flows…

Speed trap
I go to work same path every day, Waze notifies me about same speed trap every day too, can you make a button “do not show again”? Second if ignore thanks click, message stays, it definitely should disappear after 1 min.
17 votesThank you for your suggestion!
We are planning to implement this idea.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Speed trap
When speed trap notification pops up. Tachometer becomes hidden behind the directions element. That makes it impossible to read current speed and also max speed limit. Maybe the possible cause is scaled system UI. I think the speed trap notification could popup small in the corner.

Obscured vehicle speed
When driving in an average speed trap zone, the vehicle speed is partially obscured by the average speed trap indicator.
ALSO.. when approaching a speed camera while in the zone a banner pops up TOTALLY obscuring the vehicle speed until the camera proximity is passed.
This is a NEW FAULT affecting only average speed zones since a recent update when a banner issue obscuring speed indicator for all speed cameras was resolved
Please resolve this frustrating issue.
Vehicle speed is obscured JUST when you need it most. Thank you !4 votes -
Alert: Excessive traffic deceleration.
Irrespective of cause, unusually great deceleration of one vehicle is a hazard for the vehicles behind - at least on highways with average speed above that of city traffic.
Real-time alerts from the Waze system via our community of users may offer a unique opportunity to prevent (or reduce injuries and damage of) highway mass crashes.Various alerting criteria may be used e.g:
Client accelerometers (or GPS-speed time derivatives) indicating a deceleration greater than, say, the 80th percentile for that road (segment) or average speed level - established by Waze server statistics.7 votes -
Variable Speed Limit Sign Integration
Here in Northeast Ohio in our construction zones we have "Variable Speed Limit" signs. They are used to reduce the speed limit on a streth of road only when the work zone is active. Example stretches are the Interstate 271/480 stretch in Bedford and again on Interstate 480 in Parma. The 271/480 signs will be in use til 2021 according to the construction plan.
There are several solutions:
1) When entering reported construction zone there could be a pop up presented asking for current speed with known work zone MPH listed (see below)
2) After pressing the speedometer/speed…16 votes -
Fixed speed circle could be bigger
Hi. I think the fixed circle that shows the maximum speed of the road on Android Auto could be bigger! Its really difficult for me to see the maximum speed of the road and I need get closer to the car display, what makes it dangerous while driving.
Thanks.92 votes -
Temporary speed limits
Option to report reduced speed limits due to road works (construction).
Option would be for reduced speed ahead. Would be useful to know of upcoming congestion

Earlier notification of mobile and static speed cameras
Current speed camera alerts occur too late and usually when the camera can be seen which by then is too late. Earlier warning along with the speed limit would be a great enhancement to the app.

Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and…

speed camera hours of operation
Recently a speed camera was installed along my drive. The camera is active only during school bussing/student times, that would be early morning, and early afternoon. There are several also when I drive to Richmond VA that are the same way, and having hours that its active .. with an "active" or "inactive" verbal alert would be helpful. .. eg .. Active School Zone Speed Camera .. or "Active Speed Camera Ahead"

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjust the timing of the alert announcement to give more time to warn of what is ahead ?
