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”.

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.

Create a "dangerous spot" alert
I live in São Paulo - Brazil, and unfortunately we have a serious problem with violence in traffic.
Just a few days ago I was a victim of an armed robbery in a very know avenue, and we have a lot of spots that this kind of action is frequent.
So, my suggestion is that drivers can allert and input information like this so waze can identify this spots and maybe even suggest a detour depending on time day (since this actions are much more frequent at late hours).
These kind of data would also be very helpsful to police…78 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Ding & Alert
Waze used to ding or speak when a speed camera was up ahead but after the latest update it doesn't do either, it just pops up on screen and then doesn't go away once you passed the camera it just stays there. I drove from sheffield to watford last week and i didnt get a single ding or voice alert all the way down the M1 but i got the onscreen warning.

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 -
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.

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 -
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?

Audible Alert for Fixed Speed Cameras
Every Sat Nav device that I have ever owned HAS an audible (sound) alert to speed cameras. This is because most drivers keep their eyes on the road most of the time, not on their Sat Nav. I have done some basic programming in the past and know that adding a PING (sound) to something that happens in a software program is the EASIEST thing that a developer could possibly do. So, WHY on earth are Waze developers ignoring this important feature, when so many people ask for it? Just flashing up Speed Camera in words at the bottom of…

State what the alert is for
preferred version that stated the alert (object on road/car stopped on shoulder etc) so I don't have to look at the device to determine why it is alerting me. Also would like a way to touch screen to give thumbs up/confirm without having to look at device.

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.

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).

Past Reports of Mobile Speed Cameras Alert
With the recent addition of giving an alert to the user when a certain area has a "History of Accidents". Something similar should be done with mobile speed cameras where an alert comes up stating that the certain area that the user has entered has had previous reports of mobile speed cameras vans. I dont just mean being able to report Mobile Speed Cameras, as that already exists. I'm talking about an alert popping up as there has been numerous reports, can be from the day before to a month before.

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
