Current speed yellow when approaching turn too fast
App displays speed colour to yellow on turns.
In Australia we have advice sign posts "yellow triangle" that suggest
a comfortable speed for a corner (on corners that are closer to hair-pin than straight).The route navigation current speed would show white (normal), yellow (over suggested speed) or Red (over legal speed limit)
Some possibilities:
- Waze servers auto assign "suggested speed" value based an approximation of centripetal force that considered angle between two segment "points" and ignores slope.
- Waze editor allows a road to have an assigned "suggested speed" based on road signage suggestions (which take into consideration …5 votes -
Waze carpool to use its own time settings
When trying to create a carpool ride, the android app seem to pull time information from the device itself which creates issues when the time settings do not match the time zone. What we select is not in local time and also not in the entered timezone. It is a mess. Why not the app use its own time settings internally. I am also using scoop app and it works without any of these timing issues. Due to this I could not create carpool ride requests in Waze as it is showing some other time rather than…

Radar audio warning trigger model
I don't know if this is a new topic or not, but this is a problem that I've encountered wherein the normal Waze behavior is almost like a bug.
How it works today
The visual on screen warning for a Speed camera is based on distance only. I.e it will always show on-screen when the driver is X meters from the camera.
However, the audio warning for a speed camera only activates if you pass the "detection distance" and are "over speed"Problem
In this specific case, the radar is a 70 km/h radar. The detection distance however is when…2 votes -
Un affichage horizontal pour les motos avec affichage minimaliste
Sur beaucoup de moto , il est plus pratique d’avoir le téléphone en horizontal. Il serait judicieux de prévoir un affichage horizontal. Et ne pas avoir cette zone de recherche blanche qui prends 1/3 de l’écran

Some bugs encountered with the application
I use Waze very frequently for my work. Both as a GPS and as an assistant for road hazards.
I've noticed a few anomalies in Android Auto.When I approach a speed camera, Waze informs me about it and the distance. As soon as I have passed the zone, the "Speed camera" indication remains on the screen and Waze does not provide any other information.
I have taken some pictures of the problem encountered. If you want them, let me know where I should send them.Thank you.

Know Police Enforcement Zones
Waze is a great tool for being notified of any police that are in the area. Police tend to use the same places to park and hide while waiting for you to come along.
Wazes stores the data on where the police are hiding or parked waiting to measure your speed.
My idea is for ways to have a new alerts feature called "known Police enforcement zones"
This will assist in helping with unwanted encounters with law enforcement when police aren't already tagged on the app.Please add "known Police Enforcement Zones"
I know everybody will love this…3 votes -
Variable Speed Limit Camera Audio Cues
Hi, based in the UK here.
When a user drives in a variable speed limit zone on a motorway in the UK, Waze thinks the speed limit is 70 mph all the time when in fact the speed limits can be changed from anywhere between 20 mph and 70 mph.
These variable speed limit zones have several speed cameras that can detect speeding for a variety of speed limits.
When navigating on Waze, when approaching a speed camera the audio cue for alerting to speed cameras does not play when driving within the speed limit shown in Waze, only…

Afichage en mode "CAR PLAY"

affichage "encore là"
Bonjour,
Lorsqu'il y a danger, il est noté
sur 2 sones à cliquer sur l'affichage en car play
"Toujour présent"
"n'est Plus là"
Il est pas pratique d'appuyer sur la zone réactive car les deux zones sont à la verticale
Perso, en voulant confirmer, j'ai appuyé sur "plus là"L'idée simple serait de las positionner en bas
une zone réactive à droite et une autre à gauche
Dans ce cas en conduisant, on ne peut plus commettre d'erreurQu'en pensez vous ?

Speed trap vs police monitoring construction area.
I would like for a way to distinguish between police out for a speed trap and those that are out monitoring a construction zone. Many times people list police out but they are blocking a freeway exit or something else and aren't trying to hand out speeding tickets

Notify conditions between home and work
Send a notification of a significant event that has occurred between home and work whilst the app is not in use. This feature is enabled only when either at work or home and is configured to only scan for issues between home and work when at home, vice versa.
For instance, if I am at work and a major accident has happened on my usual route, I want to know about it before I set off so I have options other than just finding an alternative route. The notification could state something along the lines of "[incident type] reported on…

report menu icon is too large
The icon for report menu is taking up too much real estate on the 2D map, it is huge. (And this is very objective because I have a smaller than average screen and not the best eyesight.) This icon as well as the arrow icon could be smaller so as not to cover too much of the map screen. I like north up mode so icon could cover street or intersection or street name.

Alerte seulement pour les radar
Separer l’option du son avec « alerte seulement » pour avoir seulement les zones de contrôle du reste. Comme avant la mise à jour…. Maintenant avec le rajout de « ralentisseurs », « vitesse abaissé », « zone à vitesse régulée » etc… l’appli Waze ne fait que d’ «ALERTER » pour un tout et pour un rien! Bientôt on aura « attention route devant vous »!
Merci de séparer les alertes qu’on veut entendre svp 🙏2 votes -
Allow to select which alerts we do want - allowed speeding (+/- 5km/h), police and speed-cams, etc.
Currently we either have all alerts or none.
The problem is, we get alerts like: reduced zone ahead, or if "speeding" so traveling 1-2km/h above.
So I have alerts disabled, but then I neither get important alerts.Allow to select us which alerts we want:
1. speedig - yes/no/yes, if exceeds N km/h
2. reduced speed zone ahead
3. police and speedcams
4. other dangers (potholes, roadkill, car stopped)
5. warnings (fog, etc.)1 vote -
Most hazard alerts should not expire
When a hazard alert, such as a construction zone or a stopped vehicle is posted, it should not simply expire. It should remain active until a user explicitly responds that it's "Not there."
There's no reason that a long-term construction project, for example, should have to be reported repeatedly day after day for months. The same applies to most types of alerts, such as broken traffic lights and potholes. Once the hazard is gone, users will say so. Until then, it should remain active.

One Way Construction Traffic Control
Warn drivers that traffic in a construction zone is reduced to one way and controlled by Construction Traffic Signals. We have had such a situation that has been ongoing for several months. This is on a major artery and waiting for an editor with the appropriate level could be counter productive.
A normal wazer should be able to report report as active or no longer active, with approval by a higher level
