Allow us to add or remove speed cameras
We should be allowed to add speeding cameras. I live in DC and the mayor adds and move cameras constantly. it’s new cameras everywhere and they aren’t on Waze. It’s no option to add them. So it doesn’t help me if I see a camera and I cannot warn others of a camera that has been added. That should be changed. We can add traffic and other hazards why not cameras too.

Audible Alert for Fixed Speed Cameras
Every Sat Nav device that I have ever owned HAS an audible (sound) alert to speed cameras. This is because most drivers keep their eyes on the road most of the time, not on their Sat Nav. I have done some basic programming in the past and know that adding a PING (sound) to something that happens in a software program is the EASIEST thing that a developer could possibly do. So, WHY on earth are Waze developers ignoring this important feature, when so many people ask for it? Just flashing up Speed Camera in words at the bottom…

Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays
Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.
Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.
- Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).
and
- Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)
80 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
warnings for camera an roadworks getting in the way
Which brain surgeon at Waze done that? Why are the notifications for speed cameras and roadworks popping up at the bottom and stopping me from punching in a destination. Who in god’s name did this?

Search bar on Waze app when using Android auto
When using Android auto, Waze app on the phone is disabled except for popping up with the search bar to enable phone-typing of addresses. Could you add the search bar on the "Using Waze on Android Auto" screen by default on the phone app to make it quicker to get to the phone keyboard instead of having to first click search on Android auto and then being redirected to the phone to type addresses

Move Alerts and Reporting to phone
It would be nice to have the option to replace or share the phone screen with alerts, there/not there, and reporting when using CarPlay. This would give the ability to manage them without having to reach for the CarPlay unit.

School zone camera speed trap Lawtey, Fl. No flashing lights. 20 mph. Can't read times on sign when driving.
Lawtey, Fl. is operating an unethical school zone speed trap at the light on US 301. There are NO flashing lights and the zone times are impossible to read when driving by at the posted speed of 40 mph. Speed limit drops to 20 and is camera enforced. Ticket for $100 arrives 2 weeks later. If Lawtey was truely concerned about student safety, they would install flashing lights. Their primary objective is to defraud unsuspecting drivers and Lawtey has a long history of being a speed trap.

Revolutionizing Waze for Motorcyclists: A Call for Enhanced Audio Mode
Dear Waze Team,
I have been using Waze for several years in my car, and recently, I purchased a motorcycle. Along with the motorcycle, I acquired an intercom system, which has led me to primarily use Waze by relying solely on the audio instructions from the intercom, without being able to see the screen.
However, I have come across a feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience for motorcycle users like me, as well as for those who prefer not to have the screen on while driving. It would be beneficial to have an option, let's call it…

Be able to access where I last used Waze. aka, "Where did I lose my phone?"
I'd love to be able to find out where I was last, according to Waze. Wherever it was, that's where my phone must have fallen out of my car.
This would be fantastic for times like this, when the lost phone is apparently out of battery and can't be located by standard methods.
How about it, Waze? You could charge a per-use fee for this service if you needed to cover the costs of providing it. It would likely attract many new users, encouraged to become Wazers after being regaled with tales of how Waze saved the day for their…

Subject: Restore Red Color for Speed and Red Light Camera Alert Banners
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback on the recent UI change regarding the pop-up alert banners for speed cameras and red light cameras.
In previous versions, these alerts appeared in a bright red banner, which was immediately noticeable. In the current update, the banner has changed to a dark gray/black color. While this might look "modern," it creates a significant visibility issue, especially when driving in Dark Mode or at night.
The dark banner blends into the background of the app, making it difficult to distinguish an important safety warning from other map elements at a glance.…2 votes -

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

Waze speedometer is reading less than (<8 km/hr) the car speedometer.
Waze speedometer is reading less than (<8 km/hr) the car speedometer.
Is there any calibrating feature to correct the speed on the mobile screen display?
I am sorry, if this is a problem for my own mobile phone.
Thanking You…1 voteWith high probability this is not an issue of the mobile phone or app, but the issue of the car speedometer.

Make user icons transparent near traffic cameras
Sometimes when there are too many user icons beside traffic cameras(red light, speed cameras), they block/overlap the camera signs displayed on the map, making users harder to notice upcoming traffic cameras.

Show speed on phone while using carplay
First request: Sorry if in the wrong area.
When using CarPlay the UI on the phone should allow the speed to also be shown. As it currently stands it's only a breakdown of directions and that's it with seemingly zero way to configure what is seen.
Because the CarPlay app notoriously has a poor read of the current speed and often does not show the speed limit like the phone app does (often just shows a speed number but no indication of the speed limit of the area. And will sometimes show how much over an individual is going but…

Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice…
