Enhance speed display color scheme
It would be easier to assess speed with more informative color coding:
White = below speed limit
Green = speed limit
Yellow = between speed limit and user-defined "when to show alert" speed
Red = exceeding user-defined "when to show alert" speedKeep current warning with briefly displayed larger speed limit reminder
Great app, thank you!
191 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Mph and metres for directions.
It’s very simple. Two toggle options. To change the speed unit to mph for the speed limit but be able to keep the directions in metres for those shorter turnings and directions in town. In England we use mph and how many miles to but after that we commonly talk about metres. So I am asking for another option so that people can customise the speed limit alerts and the distance to alerts.
5 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

During long distance travel "Add a Stop" feature spreads options (eg cafe) too widely apart without asking for more input as to which side of travel this Added Stop would be searched for.
I have done long routes in the past and half of the Stops that it finds are near my end point far in the distance and unnecessary for what I'm looking for at the time.
So an additional question "Close, or futher down" OR "Within the next _miles or _ minutes " would get better results for folks looking for a good stop either now or…

Show Maximum Limit when moving a segment - The highlighted object has been moved beyond the allowed distance
When we move a segment by a distance that Waze considers too large, WME does not allow us to save the changes.
Problem: We waste a lot of time drawing the street and adjusting it, and when we go to save it, WME does not allow it.
Solution: Notify the editor when this street displacement reaches the limit so that the editor can save the segment before an error occurs when saving the edits.

Alert the user if no verified email address is on file.
I’d like to suggest that the app alert the user if they don’t have a verified email address associated with their account. (If it’s already there, I don’t recall seeing it). My account of many years disappeared without a trace according to the support staff response I received. They said it was because I didn't have a verified email address for it.

Update distance for reporting traffic.
Any time I report heavy traffic, it only highlights about a half a mile. If traffic on a highway is heavy, it doesn’t clear up that fast, unless it’s from an accident that has just been cleared out.
There should also be a way to report back to you guys when we get rerouted to a route that turns out to be more backed up than the original route. This happens to me all the time! I get taken off the highway onto back roads that are jammed and ends up way longer than if I just stayed in the…

Use the Bluetooth mesh for alerts when there is no internet connection (like Bitchat)
Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network. Just like it's done with the Bitchat app.
Many times we drive a very long stretch without internet access, and important events happen on the road that we need other drivers to see. With this Bluetooth network activated, we can share with drivers near us, and they can share with those closest to them, eventually reaching someone who has satellite internet or even mobile…23 votes -
Mute voice guidance near home/work
Please have an option to mute the voice guidance in a radius of [X] distance from my home, and/or from work. Alerts should not be muted by this setting.
It's annoying that I have to listen to voice guidance near my home -- I know how to get from my house to the main road, thank you very much! But turning the voice off and on again during the drive (during every drive!) is a nuisance and a safety risk.

Hazard/alert notification not showing in split screen.
Hi, alert widget that showed on top of the media app on split screen has been removed?
It was so useful!
Now everytime that there's an alert I have to tap on the map to make it fullscreen and then tap on the confirmation button.
I love AA in split screen and that little widget on top of media app when there is an alert on waze was useful.Now I'm forced not to confirm or do nothing so I won't be distracted because I have to tap more times, leading to less contributions.
My screen is only 7", well…

New speed alert mode
It would be nice if app can get something like new speed limit mode, allerting us (by sound) every 1/2/3 sec about excessed speed limit all the time, until car decrease speed. It will be very helpfull to avoid tickets and points but especially make road more safety.

Accident Alert
Waze provides alternate routes when approaching an accident which is really helpful. My suggestion is that WAZE “announce”…. ACCIDENT AHEAD, ALTERNATE ROUTE PROVIDED”….this allows us to know why the alternate is being provided. Sometimes we are on the road for long times and get tired. Thank yo.

"Turn Warning Alert" Sounds in Magellan Roadmate GPS in WAZE? : D
Magellan GPS devices, such as the RoadMate series, offer an audible alert feature to indicate upcoming turns, known as “Turn Warning Alert.” This function allows you to select different sounds for turn alerts.
The most commonly used sound is “Turn Bell” which when completing an indication, a turn or following a junction makes an audible indication.
I never got this important feature on any GPS device or App again. I ask the community, would it be possible to somehow add the option to Waze?
I have the sound but i am a new user, i can´t upload it.…

alerts without scrolling
The alert system is great, but when you're driving it would be easier to see all buttons on the same screen, with no need for scrolling. When you need to scroll the list to see all icons it makes you lose attention to the road.
Would it be too difficult to add all kind of alerts on the same window?6 votes -
airborn police
In addition to an alert for police vehicles that are mobile - it would be nice for some kind of an alert for airborn police. I was traveling a week ago and spotted what was most likely an police airplane but there was no useful way to report it.

No alerting caps
Waze does not alert at all reported fixed phone / police cameras because of caps on alerts on regularly travelled roads exposing drivers who forget about cameras to fines. This is confirmed by by WAZE's team: "This means that you may not get alerted about everything on your route". There is no option to set to 'always alert'. Please add the option of full and reduced alerting.

ergonomy suggestion
On map screen, the arrival time is with BIGGER characters than the distance to the next turn (left up corner) and with a weaker contrast. I'm a bit old, I can see the arrival time very clearly, but it is not the MAIN information I need.
The next turn distance is a bit difficult to read for me and necessits attention. I would prefer to see clearly and quickly the next turn distance.5 votes -
Add alert/icon for police helicopters with speed radar in Romania
I propose adding a specific alert or icon for police helicopters equipped with speed radar in Romania. These helicopters regularly monitor traffic on highways and national roads, similar to mobile speed radars.
Benefits:
Alerts drivers to maintain safe speeds, reducing accidents and speeding violations.
The icon could be a helicopter with a radar symbol and function like the current mobile radar notifications.
Provides real-time, relevant information to drivers without violating any laws.
This feature would enhance road safety and improve the relevance of Waze for drivers in Romania.

Accident alert to phone messages or email in real time in a chosen area or district
Hi Waze team
I’m from Sydney Australia,
My staff and I all use Waze for our navigation and we love it.I have a suggestion,
Is there a way to get a sound alert when someone reports an accident or heavy traffic in a certain district or area ?
If we are able to nominate an area of our city that we would like notifications on,
It could even send a text message to our phone
This would be a great addition to help avoid accident or traffic before we even jump in the trucks
Reg
