comparison of ETA and actual arrival time
I want to see comparison of ETA and actual arrival time, distance travelled (especially if I diverged from Waze plan)

Time Until Turn
Similar to the ETA function, I'd love to see the estimated time (countdown, not time of day) for the next turn by the distance. That can be very helpful as distances aren't as inherent to people as time passage.

No Greek female voice. No feature to add frequency of sound warnings, how many times it will warn and at what distance. No save route option

UI Problem: Speed camera\police alert covers the speed limit
I was using Waze in horizontal mode last night - the speed limit and my current speed were displayed near the bottom of the screen in the middle horizontally. I noticed that when alerts such as Police ahead or Speed Camera in x feet were displayed the notification box covers key bits of the screen such as your current speed, the speed limit and your precise location.
I think either the UI needs to shift up when the alerts are displayed, or the alert box needs to be constrained to one side of the screen.
I did take…

A short instructional video on how to alert an accident, police, etc
I would like to suggest the following: that a training video appear on behalf of the company on how to warn about an accident or the police, today that many people do not even know about the possibility of alerting, and only use the application to see alerts that others have written. Especially in the country of Panama where I live. So my idea is that once in a while a short instructional video will appear that will explain how to alert and register an accident or anything else with the police. Thank you

Emergency vehicle live intervention alert to clear traffic
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve emergency response times and road safety.
When police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles are actively responding to an intervention, they could activate a special “Emergency Mode” within Waze (restricted to verified official vehicles only).
Drivers using Waze nearby would then receive a real-time alert such as: “Emergency vehicle approaching – Please clear the way.”The alert could:
- Notify drivers within a certain radius ahead of the emergency vehicle
- Display a visual warning on the map
- Provide a voice alert encouraging…1 vote -
"Watch out, multiple alerts ahead"
If there was a vehicle stopped on road and a cop in the vicinity, Waze will only alert me of the cop. There should be multiple alerts that could be given to me at once.

Not sure if Waze does curves speed alert, that would be nice especially driving on a unfamiliar road at night or in poor visibility.

Reduce speed ahead alert
Would be nice to have pop-up similar to railway crossings showing reduce speed ahead. Example would be driving on 70 km per hr route that changes to 50 km per hr.

En route alert volume too loud on Android
The current alert sound and volume makes everyone jump, every time. Why have you made it so piercingly and frighteningly loud?
It wasn't so terrifying before, and worked well, so there was no need to change it.
Seems to be only on Android devices that this happens, and cannot be adjusted within Waze or in the device settings.
Please turn the volume down on the alerts.1 vote -
Turtle Crossing Alert
Add a feature so that people will be aware of turtles crossing the road ahead and can avoid hitting them.

Make the nav text (under the distance) white instead of light blue to improve contrast
The current navigation text is light blue on black (which becomes dark gray under most lighting conditions) lacks contrast and becomes unreadable in many situations. Also would be good to allow for user-selectable text size to take advantage of larger displays (6 and 6 plus).

Alerts Stuck
When starting a new trip, the first alert that appears (speed camera, traffic light camera, railway crossing, etc.) remains fixed on the screen, and after going through this alert, the alert is not deleted, it does not refresh, it does not report a new alert. The first alert that appears stays permanently... it only goes away when starting a new trip... where the first new alert that appears is stuck again.

Be able to dismiss the traffic alert when traffic is gone
It happens often to drive through roads where traffic alerts have been reported but gone at the time of driving there. It would be useful to be able to dismiss the traffic reports

Option to disable construction alerts; they are distracting
Several people have posted this. It is not being responded to. PLEASE listen to us! When driving, a construction alert pops up. There is NO option in settings to turn off construction alerts (only to hide from map). The alert is persistent until I pass the zone, which means ETA is not visible. The alert cannot be cleared until I pass the zone. It's a horrible experience, and the only way to clear it is to say "Not there" which is not true. Please listen to the users begging for this. Every other setting has the option to turn…
