Option to turn off alerts for road construction
I can choose to toggle Road Constructions on or off for "Display On Map."
I would like to be able to toggle off alerts for Road Constructions, specifically, under "Alerts on Route."
Driving in Minnesota in the summer, it is a given that there will be road construction everywhere. It's nice to be able to see it on the map, and have the app use the information in its routing calculations, but I don't need an alert to tell me that it is there. It interrupts whatever else I am listening to, and it is not necessary…

Shorter Alert Sounds
I often listen to podcasts while driving but get frustrated when the Waze alerts are long and tend to block the audio of the podcasts. Could we get a custom voice that says simply "Traffic" instead of "Heavy Traffic Reported Ahead", etc.

When there is a police ahead alert a sirin sound option would be neat and a blue strobe light to get your attention option

Allow User to Disable Alert for Roadworks
There is currently only an option to "Show on Map" for roadworks.
This also generates the full visual and audio alert which comes on top of everything else.
The only way to stop it is to disable roadworks altogether.
Please add option to choose to have the roadworks on the map, but to not be alerted1 vote -
Cancel, or mute an alert.
Is there any way to shut off the alert, "Watch out!, vehicle parked on shoulder ahead"? Or at least mute the audio portion? It is quite loud and annoying!

Police Alert for Drivers Going Opposite Direction
When reporting a police presence in Waze there is an option for "Other Side". It would be a nice addition to provide an audible alert for drivers going that opposite direction, instead of merely showing it on the map. I sometime see a police car sitting high up on an entrance ramp checking speeds of traffic going the opposite direction that is mostly hidden to them. I would like to warn drivers going that way of its presence.

Speed limit change audible alert for 5mph increments
I know a voice alert was added around 2024 for larger speed changes, but many roads especially state and county routes can vary widely and often going from 55 to 25 very quickly and then bumping slowly as you exit a town from 25 to 35 to 45 to 55. To avoid speed traps on entering a town a voice alert would be great for when the speed limits change by increments of 5 mph. Small town love to catch non-locals for speeding!!!

Routes
I’d like to request 2 additional routes besides the existing 3 recommended routes:- 1) The longest route that avoids 50% of overall traffics along its path; while navigating on this route, it’d alert with options when there’s a faster route regardless of distance; options are either to maintain current route or the improved traffic route? 2) The longest route that evades 90% or higher overall traffics along its path; while navigating on this route, it’ll pop up a screen that alerts users of a quicker route regardless of overall distance, which free from zero or negligible traffics,…

"alerts only" mode should include rerouting notifications
Currently, there are 3 sound modes, which is great. "On", "Off" and "Alerts Only". I use "On", when I've never been there before and "Alerts Only" during my daily commute. I love the Alerts Only mode for a daily commute. Problem is, sometimes Waze sees an issue ahead during my commute and only makes a screen notification. I'd really want to be alerted about that.
So I'd like "Alerts Only" to consider a rerouting notification as an alert and not 'normal' navigation instructions.

Alert ahead fones show dismissal option
When there is an alert of construction, accident, police warning or shows “[incident] ahead in nnn meters” and then you can only push “still there” or “do not exist”… but how one will know if this is ahead!?!? There is no option like “ask me later” or dismiss… it should not ask if this is there BEFORE I pass the incident!

Allow the "Stacking" of alerts on the display
As an example, you are driving along and an alert for the police ahead pops up. You continue on but before you reach the place where the police are supposed to be where you can confirm the presence or advise them not present another alert of some other kind pops up. Now you cannot comment on the first alert. The alerts should stack so the closest one is displayed at the top of the stack

Before a turn, add to the meter information the word: “turn on the coming turn”. It’s much easier than to try to asstimate the distance.

Real-Time "Reckless Driver" Alert to Improve Road Safety
A proposal to introduce a new reporting category that allows users to alert others about reckless or dangerous driving in real-time, enabling nearby drivers to take precautionary measures and prevent accidents.
The Problem:
Reckless drivers (excessive speeding, weaving between lanes, aggressive tailgating) pose an immediate threat to everyone on the road. Currently, law-abiding drivers have no way of receiving an early warning about a dangerous vehicle approaching them. In many cases, this lack of awareness leads to severe accidents that could have been avoided if drivers had a few seconds to react.Proposed Solution:
