Using the smartphone's front camera for alert about driver's tiredness
In Android there is a feature named "smart stay" which allows the smartphone to recognize, using the front camera, if the user is watching the screen (in order to turn off the screen when not in use) - see
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-smart-stay-galaxy-s3I wonder whether it would be possible to create a similar function in Waze, that would recognize (by visually recognizing when the eyes close for longer than a fraction of second) and alert if the driver falls asleep. If this is possible (even partially), it can save lives.

Send lane INTERDICTION alert through the vehicle's multimedia.
Hello, I believe that the following idea is an improvement and it is not a possible bug solution, because the functionality would have been tested before the release of the version.
When trying to send a lane interdiction alert through the vehicle's multimedia, the option does not appear, just using the cell phone without mirroring, I am using a cell phone with an IOS operating system, but the same behavior is seen with cell phones with an Android operating system.
Particularly, I don't walk with my cell phone in hand while driving, nor would I like to stop the vehicle…

A "Tell me when my commute is under an hour" mobile alert option.
Would love a mobile alert that tells me when a given route/commute is under a certain time threshold. I usually stay at work until traffic is reasonable. Getting a mobile alert that lets me know when it's "safe" to leave would be awesome.

Make an alert similar to the one you receive when approaching railroad crossings, to alert drivers to new traffic patterns or street signs.

Alert events pop up is too big in new version
The alert events pop up in new waze version is too big if you are using the landscape mode. This is making hard to see the map in front of you.
Balloon pop up of older version in right corner was much better.

Alert for fixed parking enforcement cameras when stopping
Please add an alert when a vehicle slows down and stops within a defined enforcement zone monitored by fixed parking cameras.
This would help drivers avoid unintentional parking violations, especially in areas with unclear signage or new residents/visitors.
Suggested options:
• Toggle on/off in alerts settings
• Alert only below X km/h and when vehicle remains stationary for Y seconds
• Show a “parking enforcement camera zone” banner3 votes -
Zoom in on Alert Icons
I would like to be able to tap on an alert icon on the map and automatically zoom the map and see what the problem is. Currently I can see icons on the map but I can't zoom in enough to see exactly what they are about; when I tap the "+" to zoom in the map, it won't zoom in close enough to places outside my immediate area. I would like to know what is going on along my route before I'm close enough for your app to warn about the alert.

Posted speed trap alert
Many streets have built-in speed traps. You know -- the speed is 40 mph, and is a sensible speed for that road, but then for no reason it drops to 25 mph for a half-mile (and there's no school, residences, sharp turns, etc in the road). These are all about revenue generation for the local municipality, and not about road safety.
I would like to be able to report a posted speed trap on the map (and the map should be able to identify many candidates for potential posted speed traps), and then after Waze through some TBD process determines…

Always show next alert on my route.

Alert Signal ahead
Dear Waze Team,
I strongly recommend adding voice alerts for upcoming traffic.
Traffic signals are placed even on straight roads with no intersections
The sunlight glare during peak hours makes signal visibility very difficult.
Pedestrian crossings and school zones have signals with no visual cues from afar
This feature would significantly improve safety, reduce violations, and help drivers who are new to the city or unfamiliar with signal placement.
Even a simple alert like:
“⚠️ Traffic signal ahead”
... would make a huge difference, especially during bright, blinding weather conditions.Google Maps already displays traffic lights. Since Waze is…

Kids in the car alert
Kids in the car alert so we stop hearing sad stories!
Add the option for parents to add this info to their account, maybe even to add their children's names. and upon arrival to destination, make the waze voice say something like: dont forget kids in the car, or dont forget sara in the car....
Same way you make the sound at the beginning of the drive to remind to turn on the lights .
Maybe even make a pop up alert that you can only close by pressing ok.....2 votes -
Mute Red Light Camera Alert
Offer an option to turn off or mute the red light camera alert. I don’t speed or go through red lights and the loud alert is distracting. It also wakes up a sleeping child ! I know drivers rely on it but I don’t like it. Offer an option!!!

200 meter alert
Waze is great, but the turn announcements aren't as good as my 2006 Garmin Nuvi. They tend to be at 5 minutes, 1 mile, and right now! Several times, I have let my guard down and been in the wrong lane and unable to turn at the "turn right" cue immediately before an exit. A time/speed/distance based "turn coming" reminder at about 200 meters would be very helpful.

Radar Alert for any car's velocity
I would to suggest that the radar alert works independent of the drive's speed. Sometimes you're close of the speed limit and there's no alert and you can get a ticket if you distract with something else.
