Average speed zone label covers up the speed limit
When you enter an average speed zone, the green bar on the left appears. Also a label appears at the bottom showing what distance the zone covers. Annoyingly this label covers up the current speed limit badge, so you can't see what the limit is until the label disappears or moves up far enough.

Change the "watch out" alert.
I think it would be beneficial to change the way Waze gives alerts. The automated voice says "Watch out" and it's for a vehicle on the shoulder like 2 miles a head of you, or for a cop or something in the middle of the freeway. When Waze alerts about these issues, it always makes my heart drop. Imagine you are on the rode at night and your passenger, says "WATCH OUT" very loud, it would frighten anyone, and the last person you want to be scared is the driver. Maybe something less urgent, for non urgent alert…

Sound Alert in LOCKED phone
I think Waze could enable an option to be able to keep warning (Radar, Hazards, Accident, Police, Heavy Traffic, etc) even when phone is LOCKED. When I lock my Android 4.3.1 it doesn't alert anything.
6 votesGreat news! This is now available in Waze for Android OS. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Speed bump database
Good morning, I work at Uberaba City Hall, Minas Gerais, Brazil and I would like to know if Waze can make the speed bump location database available, either in .kmz or .shp format. We would like to have this data to control and better monitor these elements. Furthermore, I would like to know if there is a way to enter the location of these speed bumps into the application, as I noticed that not all of them were identified. Thanks

Separate the ability to show the posted speed limit from the speedometer.
Currently, the only way to see the posted speed limit, is to toggle on the speedometer. I’m a truck owner that keeps the speedometer toggled off, as the speed that is on my screen is 12 mph faster than I am actually driving. I don’t have the option to see the posted speed limit, because it is grayed out, unless you are “using” the speedometer.

Send photo to report speed camera
Normally when you report a speed camera, it just will send the position and type of camera to WME. It will help to waze editors if users can send a photo of the camera with the report. And also, add posibility to editors communicate with the user who reports to ask more information as a normal report.

Speed Bump Permanent Hazard Notifications Persistence
The notifications for speed bump style permanent hazards should not stay on screen, once the driver has already driven past it. It does not add any meaningful information to the drive and only acts as a distraction or blocks part of the screen.

traffic alert in highway
as a Waze user, I'd like to receive a voice traffic alert when traveling on a highway (at highway speeds) and the map shows traffic on the route. Also, I'd like to have the configuration option to enable or disable it.

Speed bump feature
I would like to suggest adding feature where speed bumps can be added on routes since when driving at night in Dominican Republic they sometimes just show up and you’re not able to see them in time.

Add a warning alert for "danger area"
It would be very interesting to have an option button to add a warning alert for "danger zones", so users could share an alert about locations that are not safe to walk around.

CarPlay speed not padded
The current speed, when connected to Apple CarPlay takes the speed from the vehicle and pads it by approx 11%.
Please either show gps speed or car speed provided by vehicle. Padding not required.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Max speed trip estimate
I drive an road e-bike, which has a max speed of 32kmh due to legal restrictions in Ontario. It would be great if we could specify a max vehicle speed and Waze could take that into account when estimating how long it will take to arrive at a destination.

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.
