Parking Meter Risk alert
Use crowdsourced data on where and when people see meter maids or get parking tickets so users know the risk of not paying a meter at that time and place. For example if you need to stop into a place for 20 minutes or less, and the risk of ticket is low, you feel better not paying the meter.

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.

prevent fake police control alert by comparing standstill postion of the wazer and a police control
Some police agent use waze account to create fake alerts randomly or to say "control not here anymore" when they are doing control. These wazers can be identified by the system simply.
If a police agent uses waze, his location is tracked by the server. If a police agent is using waze while doing a control, his position will be standstill until a normal wazer spot him. So there will be an alert at the place the police control is located. The waze server can record these habits and conclude the user is a cop and limit his actions.4 votes -

alerts hide the permitted speed
When a warning approaches, be it a speed camera 300 meters away, the warning comes on and stays on for that distance, obscuring the correct speed on the map. I don't know if I'm exceeding the speed limit or approaching the camera at the speed limit.It happens with any alert (I have images.)

Let ignore users who spam a lot of fake alert
Let's block people who usually take signs with fake alerts. I wish a personal, editable black list to collect bad guys and avoid me from their fake alerts. Thanks!

Suppress Repeat of Long-term Alerts
Suppress repeat audio alerts for "long-term alerts" such as red-light cameras. User to press a squelch button on the alert pop-up, so that subsequent drive by the same location won't trigger the audio alert.
This annoys me some, but my wife absolutely HATES it when Ms Waze blurts out "red light camera ahead" on the roads we travel every day. The squelch button would enable me to not only squelch Ms Waze, but also would make our marriage more enjoyable!
Those who like to hear the incessant warnings would simply not press the squelch for any given …

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…

Change colour of car on “Vehicle on Shoulder” alert icon
When submitting a report and looking at the possible report types while driving. From the corner of one’s eye the “Vehicle on shoulder” alert icon and “Object” icons are very similar.
I suggest the colour of the vehicle in the “vehicle on shoulder” icon be changed to a different distinct colour that also accounts for colourblind people.
If the vehicle was blue or green for example it would be easier to quickly tell the icons apart. Otherwise I feel like I need to distract myself from driving to double check the description next to the icons before confirming the report.

In the upcoming turns bar, add the ETA to each point in addition to the current distance
In the upcoming turns bar, add the ETA to each point in addition to the current distance. This can help me plan my stops along the way. For example, if I know it will be an hour until my next turn, then I can plan a nearby stop.

Too many notifications before a turn, can we decide distance before a turn
At the moment I get a notification about 1km before a turn, then about 800m, 500m, 200m. It’s too many. Just a menu item with a list of possible turn distance notifications, and a checkbox next to each so we can decide how many. My own choice would be 800m and 200m, but two is enough notifications for a turn in my opinion. Maybe also a system to adjust these distances depending on my speed. But maybe that’s getting too complicated! But basically give us the possibility to choose.

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 -

Color code car icon by distance
When Waze zooms in & out, the car icon stays the same size. Why not color code the car icon, green for when you are far away, yellow when you are close & need to change lanes for a turn/exit, red when you are within a quarter mile.
