Background version of waze to voice alert on speed cameras when routing suggestions is not needed
In most of the cases you know the driving route and you don't need waze for suggesting routes. but it's very helpfull to get voice alert on speed cameras on the way.
I suggest to take that feature in waze and make it a standallone version that runs in the background (without the need to open it, or to display path, progress etc' which is battery consuming).5 votesYou can turn Waze to Alerts Only mode and keep app in the background – audio notifications about upcoming alerts will be provided.

filter places by distance and open.
my idea is to add new filter in the search which will be very helpful for all the clients,
1 - we will ask all the places to put the open time, for example on Sunday we open from 8:00 tell 17:00.
2- new search filter will be added to the clients which will give them the ability to search by category and closed place and open at spastic time.i will give an example:
now its 23:30 and i need a particular drug,
And I need the nearest and open pharmacy at this time,
so the filter which i…5 votesThank you for your valuable feedback. We're pleased to confirm that this suggestion is planned and we appreciate your input as we continue to enhance our product.

Kangaroo Alert Feature for Australian Waze Users
I’d love to suggest adding a new alert option for kangaroo sightings near roads. In Australia, kangaroos are a significant cause of vehicle collisions, especially around dawn and dusk. It would be incredibly helpful if drivers could mark kangaroo sightings or active areas on the Waze map, just as they can mark hazards or police alerts.
This could appear as a small kangaroo icon, notifying nearby drivers to slow down or stay alert. It would improve safety for both drivers and wildlife, helping reduce collisions, injuries, and road damage.
Since Waze already supports user-reported hazards, this would fit…

Add Alert for Roadside Assistance Vehicles (Australia)
I’d like to suggest adding a specific alert or hazard option for stationary roadside assistance vehicles in Australia (e.g. RAA, tow trucks). A new rule in South Australia—and soon other states—requires drivers to slow down to 25 km/h when passing these vehicles displaying flashing amber lights.
Including a reportable category or automatic alert would help increase compliance, improve safety for roadside workers, and align with local road laws.

Potential Mobile Speed Trap Location Alert
There are many locations where Police Camera vans stay. These are often the same location, and often around bends so its too late once they see you. You should add to the map, just like with speed cameras, potential mobile speed trap. This would allow everyone to be alert at all times, then if the vans are there, Wazers can further report Police just as usual. This would prevent speeding earlier on rather than when someone finally reports the presence of police. For example, this could be done by adding a new icon e.g. a van symbol, with an audio …

Stop hiding the direction when displaying an alert
When displaying an alert, it's very inconvenient and dangerous to suddenly have the directions hidden by the notification especially on the interchange.
I randomly chick on not there anymore just to choose the right. At that moment I need clear instructions and both hands on the wheels !2 votes -
Apple Carplay alert notification format
Regarding Apple Carplay, the notifications for cops, hazards, etc is set up that the "Thanks & Not There" are over & under each other. I feel they should be side to side instead. 1st its already risky to take eyes off the road to press on the alert but as the car is in motion and roads flow naturally in an up & down motion, It's pretty easy to confirm the wrong answer. If they were side by side, It completely reduces the clicking of the wrong answer.

ambulance alert by location
With increased distractions in traffic, whether due to high driver concentration or the use of loud music, the approach of an ambulance responding to an emergency often goes unnoticed. In light of this, it would be extremely useful if Waze offered a feature capable of alerting drivers to the passage of an ambulance on a rescue mission. The proposal consists of a visually striking, flashing, full-screen alert that would only disappear after user confirmation via a button. This alert would be triggered by the ambulance crew themselves, through a specific and differentiated login, allowing the notification to be sent…

Alert popup windows disable feature
In android auto the alert popup windows cover vital informations (time to reach destination, lanes to pick on the upcoming crossroad). Recently, the amount of these popup alerts increased so, that they are there almost all the time. There is the option to disable alerts completely, but the alerts are what separates waze from other navigation apps, so not really a good option.
My sugestion is to include the option to disable just the popup windows while leaving the voice notification for the alerts on.
Thank you.

Speed alert has stopped working in Android Auto
Ever since the latest AA UI redesign, I have noticed that the "speed alert" feature has stopped working. I have not tested without AA, so I cannot say if this is specific to that or a general problem.

Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped
If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!

User Interface - Alert Visibility
My eyesight is not as great as it once was, so the prompts for alerts to indicate if a hazard or alert is still present is a bit difficult to see. I would suggest it be enlarged to occupy most of the screen with a slightly transparent background. The bottom half of the screen could be green for a “Not There” button and the top half of the screen be yellow for “Hazard Still Present”. With the enlarged notification it should increase driver safety and engagement as well since it would be easier to read and more prominent.

Auto turn screen on/off
When driving by directions, it would be great if Waze could turn off the screen when there is more than a specified distance to the next turn, and turn the screen on again when I'm within the specified distance.
We should have the option to set the specified distance to 500m, 1km, 2km, 5km and 10km.
It would also be nice to have an option to set the screen to turn on for 30 seconds or so if a report within our event radio comes in.

Alerts about approaching settlements
Hello! Please add the ability to enable alerts about approaching settlements. Often the signs of settlements can be seen at the last moment and you have to brake quite sharply. Some navigators have such a function. Conveniently, set the desired distance about the notification and you’ll calmly drive up, reducing the speed to that allowed in the settlements.
Russian: Здравствуйте! Добавьте, пожалуйста, возможность включения оповещения о приближении к населенным пунктам. Часто знаки населенных пунктов можно увидеть в последний момент и приходится достаточно резко тормозить. В некоторых навигаторах такая функция есть.
