speed camera alert closer to the speed camera
the alert is happening 400m from the camera, sometimes there is an intersection before the camera that you may stop at and by the time you get going again you may of forgotten about the camera. listening to the news or music may distract from the warning, when you finally get that 400m down the road. a second alert 50m from the camera, speeding or not, would be greatly appreciated.

If there’s a road closure acknowledge it and recalculate a route
I get that you need several people to confirm theres an actual road closure but if I am the first there and I need an alternative route, it keeps sending me back to the closed road.

Vehicle selection
Hello, I use Waze every day, sometimes by car but most often by motorcycle. I was wondering if, when entering a route, there could be an option to choose the type of vehicle. This would avoid having to go into the settings every time.

Add feature to map that is like Google Maps
I would give this app 5 stars if the Waze app developers could put the name of the road you're traveling on behind the arrow in a bubble like Google Maps. Google Maps has this not only while navigating but while just traveling using the Map on Android Auto without navigating as well. I mentioned this before. Not sure why Waze hasn't implemented this yet. I would use this App more. Other people probably feel the same way.

Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Warning: Area with a high concentration of traffic accidents.
Based on daily accident reports, mark areas with a high frequency of accidents as high-risk. Provide a voice warning: "You are approaching a dangerous area with a high concentration of traffic accidents - drive with increased caution!"In urban conditions, it can also be applied to dangerous intersections: "Dangerous intersection ahead."
For turns where accidents are often marked: "Caution, dangerous turn ahead!"
These voice warnings could greatly contribute to the safety of road users. It is important that they have a voice alert before entering the specific section.

Permission to use a specific private road
In many places there is more than one access road, one for guests and one for residents. The entrance that is for residents only is usually marked as a private road. WAZE takes me a full circle to get around the entrance that I am allowed to use as a resident. I suggest that there should be an option to add permissions to use a particular private road.

Speed Camera Audio Alerts should be User not Community Choice
It seems there is a lack of clarity regarding Speed Camera Audio Alerts and how they are triggered.
From what I can tell, audio alerts for speed cameras are a "community" choice, meaning that an audio alert will only be played given a number of conditions:
Depending on where you live - Your "community" decides what the threshold should be, that is if you are currently travelling at the speed limit or below, some communities will trigger the audio alert. Some communities require you to be travelling over the speed limit before the audio alert it triggered.Also apparently there is a setting for cameras in the map editor that allows to populate the speed camera. If this is set to 0 the audio is always triggered.
It is questionable that the visual trigger is always activated regardless of what speed the user is going and this is potentially a visual distraction especially if no audio alert is played. Surely it is far safer to audibly relate this information rather than have the user check something pop up on the screen while driving or to keep checking every so often to see if the visible speed camera alert has popped on the screen.
These settings are not made clear by Waze and feel there needs to be a bit more transparency regarding about how the audio speed camera audio alerts work. It is all very confusing and leads to the conclusion that the app doesn't work correctly, when in fact it does, but is a setting related to a "Community" choice.
I won't get into detail about who I think the "Community" might be, maybe this a legal requirement depending on where you live, but again this needs to be more transparent.

Signal sonore, option jeune permis et ancienne voix de Vanessa
Ajouter une option qui lorsqu’il y a un changement de direction, on reçoit une petite alerte sonore au choix qui nous invite à regarder le GPS au lieu d’avoir une voix qui parle sans arrêt. Aussi une option pour les jeunes permis avec des limitations de vitesse adaptées. Et remettre l’ancienne voix française de Vanessa.

Bug RoundAbout exit during driving : A U-turn is always showing on the dashboard of the car
The dashboard of the car always shows an U-turn exit for all roundabout on android auto.
It will be good to replicate, like the application Google Maps does, the correct information seen on the map to the dashboard car.
Because actually for all roundabout, Waze shows on the dashboard a u-turn whereas the exit number and indication are correct on the map.
Suggestion to the forum : A picture to upload would help to explain more than a long explanation.

Future turns display
It could be beneficial to have future turns displayed on the screen. Sometimes there would be a right turn shortly after a left turn and it causes me to miss my turn just because I wasn’t aware of the follow-up turn. Having a few future turns displayed would be useful for drivers navigating in smaller roads where there could be many turns.

Construction notification
Construction alerts are far too annoying. This has been mentioned often by users here. The issue is that they are constantly alerting, making it hard to focus on driving when you have to keep clearing them. Often I will get up to 10 alerts for the same construction zone. This is ridiculous and not helpful.
One solution would be to have construction zones auto populate rather than by users. I know this is done with other apps. The state DOT department ms provide regular notifications of construction in their state. These could be uploaded. Alternatively, just allow one notification per zone, not one from every driver that passes by.
I have been using Waze since its beginning. However, I am considering switching to something else just because of this issue. I drive a lot and listen to podcasts. All of these construction alerts cause my podcast feed to stop playing.

Expanded voice command for Car Play
Expand voice commands to Car Play to allow hands-free communication to notify other drivers of road incidents, police, etc. This would be a huge safety issue for the driver as well as providing faster and more accurate information for other drivers.

I'd like to suggest that WAZE add a better navigation route for driver of RV's, 18 wheelers and Boxtrucks. So that larger size vehicles as such will be routed to areas that doesn't have low power lines and narrow bridges, etc. Thank you

Time based lane guidance
Atm you can't set Lane Guidance based on time. Unfortunately this is an inconvenience in places like Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where certain lanes change depending on the time of the day.

smarter routes with road closures
Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:
We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).
Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to the same point B if segment D was not closed, the best route would be A->D->B.
What I propose here is to consider the end time of the closure as an additional cost of the route. Let's consider: Segment D will be reopened in 15m, we would take the current time (20m of the normal route) and add it to the remaining closing time (in this case 15m) giving a total time of 35m which is much shorter and much better than the route the other way (which would take 2h30m).

Country boarders
Add country border lines to the map. It's really a missing feature when overviewing/choosing preffered route.
