Verbal “Animal Alert” & Animal Icon replaced in app
Requesting update to app: 50 mile commute to & from work. High potential for animal / wildlife encounters & add a loss of connection for approx 5 miles during the trip. Would like an “Animal” icon to be placed back into the app & a verbal “Animal Alert” be announced the same way that construction, crashes, hazards & police, do so now. Not everybody lives and / or works in the city & those are two different types of driving styles for a commute. It would be nice to be alerted ahead of time, if I’m entering an…

Longer delay before removing alert - Extend period to respond to alert.
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: The ability to respond to alerts (example for hazards: 'still there' or 'gone') disappears too quickly. Often (pot holes, for example) you need to be right on it before you can see it. Yet as soon as you are past it, the alert has disappeared and the user cannot respond. This contributes to the general problem of a high number of redundant (old) alerts because people don't have a chance to tell the app that the hazard…

Permanent “End of Pavement” Alert
In several regions, especially on state highways and rural roads, there is an abrupt transition in pavement—for example, the end of the asphalted section and the beginning of a dirt or basalt-stone road. These sudden surface changes can catch drivers by surprise, particularly during low-visibility hours, adverse weather conditions, or on higher-speed roads.
Technical and Road Safety Justification:
Changes in pavement type can pose significant risks to drivers, such as:
Rear-end collisions, when the vehicle ahead suddenly slows upon noticing the change in pavement;
Loss of control and roadway departures, due to loose gravel, irregularities, or reduced traction on dirt…1 vote -
Alert placement on The map
The alert should be placed where I press the first button in the process (in this case, the yellow triangle), not where I select the type of alert later on.

Audio alerts should come on earlier. Police can see you before the app alert comes on when travelling at highway speeds.

Speeding Threshold Exceeded Alert could be more prominent
The alert for exceeding the speeding threshold is a rather low volume ding. An option for louder and/or more prominent like the red light camera alert would be awesome. Thx

Alert me when traffic lightens up on a specified route
I should be able to click on a route showing traffic and ask to receive an alert when the traffic lightens up on that route. This is good (for example) for people who have only one route home and want to know when to leave work without checking ease every five minutes.

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.

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

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…

Fuel Stop Planning Based on Distance
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that would greatly improve route planning, especially for users with vehicles that have limited range.
When planning a route, it would be very helpful to have an option to automatically include fuel stops at a specified distance interval (for example, every 150–200 km). As a motorcycle rider, my fuel range is limited, and planning refueling stops manually can be inconvenient and sometimes unsafe if I misjudge distances.
An option where users could:
set a preferred fuel range (e.g., 150 km),
and have Waze automatically suggest or insert fuel stations…1 vote -

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.

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.

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!!!

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
