Assigning a custom voice to alerts
Could it be possible to assign a custom voice to an alert? E.g. to assign a short police car siren to a police alert, or to upload another own voice to a another alert?
Thanks for considering that option.6 votes -
Increase the size of time to go and distance to go at bottom of screen when on a route
When traveling on a route, it would be helpful to have the time to go and distance to go that is at the bottom of the screen in a larger, more easily visible format.

Could you either add rest stops, or allow us to report rest stops, as well as distance to the next one as reported/displayed?

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.

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.

Speed alert for 2 mph over limit
Currently, you can select an alert if you are going above the speed limit (at all) or 5 mph over the limit.
I would like to suggest 2 mph.
5 mph is too much because by then, a cop will almost surely give a ticket without mercy. 5 mph over the limit is usually the informal grace limit.
But an alert for any mph over the limit is too sensitive. Even on cruise control, my car sometimes exceeds the limit by a fraction of a mph when I begin to go downhill. It takes a second for the cruise control…

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.

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 -

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!!!

"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.

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!
