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…

Police Cameras/Speed Van Cameras - 500 Meter Warning not sufficent
Police Cameras/Speed Van Cameras - we need more than a 500 Meter warning for these. It’s too late to react if you are on a motorway, in particular.

Speed Light Camera, Temporary Speed Trap, unmanned Police vehicles need ability to add these
With road construction going on around the nation, it's unfortunate that we still do not have the ability to add speed light cameras, or temporary speed traps that are common here in PA through construction zones. There also seems to be an increase in unmanned police vehicles sitting behind the k-rails running speed traps. It would be nice to have the ability to alert others. But also would be better if it was the same interface as it is for the police so save time digging through options looking for the one we want while on the road.

Warning of approaching speed limit sign
We need to have a warning about approaching a speed limit change sign 550m ahead. Like the traffic camera warning ahead. This is very necessary so that drivers can proactively reduce speed from a distance. And the speed limit symbol can be optionally larger in size.

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 -
Adding new Report Icons for dealing with "Nanny State" Issues...
Hi,
I have been running a community petition on change.org about requesting local governments for more leniency on some of the more "Nanny State" issues we encounter here in Australia. Such as dogs off leash in parks when the parks are empty or outside hours...
As part of this initiative, the community has now decided that we would also go with an additional new plan B, which is to find out the feasibility of having new Report Icons added to Waze so we can handle those issues please ?
The icons required would be as following, with the very first…

Avoid red light cameras
Hi, I would like to suggest that at the section where we choose to avoid unpaved roads, freeways, tols etc, you could include the choice to Avoid Red light Cameras or other permanent road cameras.

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.

Reports Ahead
The Reports Ahed list is now filled with reports of Speed Camera Ahead, making it almost impossible to see the actually important information (traffic, lane blocked, etc.). I have turned OFF ALL of the camera selections and the list is stilll filled with USELESS information.

Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not known and…
