Speed Camera Alerts
It would be great if you could add a function for making the sound Alerts more prominent and repeatable ? not just a flash on the screen and maybe a spoken alert, the screen alert is easily missed whilst concentrating on driving, Maybe also be able to change the alert sound like in TomTom.

Waze User Alert Network
How about a feature that can alert you to other oncoming waze user vehicles, on countryroads for an example? It would be very handy where accidents happen alot because of tight roads and bends.

Larger fonts in black bar and for time and distance on bottom.
Waze should not require squinting and be VERY fast to scan. The real estate on the black top bar is underused and tiny time-distance fonts at the bottom are poor HID. Top bar should be more efficiently used or smaller (the result would be similar).

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 in red light camera when only heading to one not away from it.
Only alert for red light camera if heading towards it. Do not alert when heading away from it just because it's in X meters because there is a round about ahead. Have it alert if you turn around on the round about and head to the camera. Getting an alert when heading away isn't useful at all.

Waze should not alert users about police presence
I suggest that Waze should not alert users about police presence. This would condone drunk driving and endanger personal and community safety. It will also make police enforcement more difficult if used by criminals. Remember “ Do No Evil”.

Update feature request unlimited alert comments
Please read and vote and share!!
Unlimited comments on alerts, get rid of the maximum number of 5 comments per alert so important information is not blocked from being shared. Like what happened to me when I was trying to share a traffic update on a alert that had 5 comments on it and I was unable to share the update with others.

Move the road alerts to the top right or bottom left corner so not blocking arrival time?
Can you move the road alerts to the other side of the screen so I can still see the distance and arrival time without to click the "still there or not there" button to remove the alert?

Suggestion to Enhance Camera Alert and Speed Warning Features
Subject: Suggestion to Enhance Camera Alert and Speed Warning Features
Dear Waze Team,
I’m reaching out to share a suggestion for an improved alert system in the Waze app, specifically for users who are driving in horizontal phone orientation. This change would make it easier to understand alerts in critical situations, such as approaching speed cameras, and improve overall road safety.
Suggested Features for Improved Camera Alert and Speed Management:
…Dynamic Color-Coded Speed Warning Line When a vehicle is going faster than the speed limit, the navigation line or speedometer could turn red to clearly indicate overspeeding, especially as2 votes -
life saving alert - lights on vocal alert. you already move to night mode , why not alerting drivers to turn lights on
Waze already moves to night mode at twilight zone.
a voice alert to rremind drivers to turn lights on is life saving and so simple.2 votes -
Incline or decline alert
When approaching a significant incline or decline it would be great to get an alert. Sometimes you can be driving along a country lane at 60mph and suddenly there is a crest of a hill and a step decline with no warning. Very dangerous

Alert popup windows cover vital information
On android auto, the alert popup windows cover vital information such as time to reach destination and which lane to pick at the next crossroad. This is very annoying and potentionaly dangerous.
This does not happen on the phone display, even thought it is much smaller then the cars display.Could this be fixed so that the popup window would not cover other informations?
Thank you

show remaining time and distance next to ETA for the final destination too
ETA, Remaining time and distance to the next destination are very useful. Other suggestions handle the display of the final destination details on the main page. Before that gets implemented, please display also the remaining time and distance to the final destination too.
It is really useful when comparing various routes and when communicating with other people w.r.t. final destination or estimating if refuelling will be needed. Luckily there is enough space next to final destination ETA - there is no reason to have limited info there.1 vote -

Ability to EXIT from Alert Pop Up
On the new display design, when an alert pops up on the left-hand side (i.e. disabled vehicle on shoulder), it often hides information in the top-left navigation box. The user can not hide that alert box without hitting (1) still there or (2) not there. Oftentimes, the issue is still some ways down the road and the driver has no idea which to press. BUT, the driver presses something -- anything -- to remove the alert because they need to see the navigation information. This probably leads to bad data being shared out. Give the driver the option to HIDE…

Drive only if necessary alert
The "Drive only if necessary" alert screen could have the OK and Close App button, to encourage the user to close the App and not drive without extreme need.

Fixed speed camera alert stuck on screen bug
As soon as I get close to a fixed speed camera the on screen alert for that that appears on the left side of the screen gets stuck there for the whole trip. This is annoying because I can't get alerts for new speed cameras that I encounter during the same trip.

Suggestions to Improve Waze UX/UI on Carplay
Two things I've noticed are causing issues (for me, personally at least) when using Waze for CarPlay.
1) I have to continually enter the zoom menu to zoom back down to the right distance...not ALL the time, but enough that I think it's probably a bug, and just wanted to mention it.
and most importantly...
2) The Notification/alert system is fundamentally broken IMO, because it essentially hijacks the navigation screen. It removes the arrival time, time remaining in your trip, and the distance you have left in your trip. These are details that I personally don't want to…
