Avoid speed camera feature
It would be helpful for a feature that allows one to avoid speed cameras, like the avoid toll roads or freeways feature.

Speed limit announcement
It would be nice if speed limits on the motorways could already be announced in advance (with distance information, e.g. 120 km/h in 800 m). I got to know and love this function in Sygic Car Navigation...
This saves fuel and brakes...

Indicator on alert for direction
When an alert is displayed on the map, it is generally impossible to tell whether the alert applies to the current direction of travel or the opposite.

Speed monitoring for verbal alerting on fixed camera
There is no verbal alerting for fixed camera. I also noticed that Waze checks the speed of my car about 250 meters before the fixed camera. Afterwards, there is no longer a monitoring of the speed (during the last 250 meters before the camera). Therefore, if the driver increases the speed by lack of attention i.e. because he missed the message displayed on the Carplay screen, he becomes exposed (it was my case …). Would it be possible to develop the following improvement (as being an option in the configuration).

Alerts covering the speed limit icon
As my car doesn't have Android auto, I have to connect my phone and mirror the screen in landscape orientation onto the car infotainment display.
With the new update, the Speed limit icon gets covered when a speed camera notification pops up. I use waze alot in the UAE
Please fix this.
Thank you! Much appreciated!

highway wrong direction car alert
it could be useful to add an alert to inform other wazers that a car is driving in wrong direction (very useful for the Highways). The alert will blink to any wazer smartphone display that is driving that way before the alert point.
This feature could permit alerted drivers to mantain the right lane till the end of the emergency.13 votes -
Police avoidance
Like when a jam ahead is getting worse, Waze should tell you “police reported ahead. Do you want to divert? (2 more minutes)”. This should be toggleable in the settings just like speed alert is

Option to turn off alerts for speed cameras on regularly traveled roads
It is helpful to have speed camera alerts on roads you’re new to or rarely travel on.
However it’s disruptive when you get alerts for speed cameras you regularly pass while commuting.
Using basic pattern recognition software on regular routes drivers could be provided the option to turn off camera alerts for the specific route(s).

Vehicle on Shoulder Alert
It would be great if there was a way to silence or remove the Vehicle on Shoulder alert. I find it annoying and not needed during navigation

Hazard alert confirm/deny
Keep the hazard alert thumbs up or down option on screen just a bit longer (don't start it so early if you want to keep the length of time posted the same). Right now, the option disappears about a tenth of a mile before I can confirm or deny the alert. At least keep it up until we pass the site of the hazard.

Auto-pause voice-nav-alert prompts based on GPS speed
While temporarily stopped for fuel, groceries, restroom breaks, it's annoying to hear turn left at State Road 19 navigation prompts from my back pocket. Can you automatically silence voice prompts based on gps speed? Of course this would need to be a user preference config. I saw a manual pause feature request, but I imagine drivers would get annoyed if they forget to re-enable it. The tech exists to auto-pause / auto-resume.

Notifications for Roads with Variable Speed Limits
Lots of UK motorways have variable speed limits. Obviously these change a lot so there’s no way we can have a live map of them, but as you go on to a road with a variable speed limit it would be nice to get a notification saying something like “Entering Variable Speed Limit Area. The legal speed limit may be different to the limit shown in Waze.” Another useful notification could be on the approach to traffic or around reported broken down cars, a notification asking the lines of “Hazard/Traffic reported on the road ahead, pay attention to Variable Speed…

Maximum speed change with roadworks
Please make it possible when reporting roadworks also the new maximum speed.
When there are roadworks it can change the route if the maximum speed is slower.

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.

Audible warning for speed cameras even if you're under the speed limit
If you're going under the speed limit you don't get an audible warning for a speed camera. If the camera is after a limit change you may be under the limit when approaching but you can then accelerate above the limit and have no warning.

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.

Alert
Before, I used to be able to go back to the alert type screen if I had chosen the wrong alert type. Now, if I make a mistake, the ability to place the alert is lost. Please bring back the ability to choose a different alert type without losing the alert.
