alert me about speed cameras even if I'm below the limit, in the same way it does if I'm above the limit.
you need to make it so it will alert me about speed cameras even if I'm below the limit, in the same way it does if I'm above the limit. it's very annoying because I might speed up in between not getting an alert, and the camera.

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.

Make gas stations ahead of you the default
Yes, if there are no gas stations ahead of me for X distance then yes turn me around but I’d rather stop at a gas station in the direction I am going

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!

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…

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.

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.

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.

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 -
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.

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

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…

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.

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.

"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.…

Security camera voice alert irrespective of type of camera ahead
The app should notify irrespective of being within the limit because the speed reflecting on the app is 3km lesser than the real at all the given times.
Also, the app doesn't even make a distinctive alert sound when there's a camera ahead.I request you to please integrate the verbal notification for a security camera irrespective of the type of camera installed and irrespective of whether the vehicle is under the speed limit coz at a lot of times due to many reasons like conversing while driving, thinking, managing kids etc. and it skips out of the mind.
Please…3 votes -

When on hiways, Make app give an alarm if users ahead suddenly slow down it could say alert..traffic stopped or slow ahead.

Subject: Feature Suggestion – Dedicated Ambulance Alert Button on N
Subject: Feature Suggestion – Dedicated Ambulance Alert Button on Navigation Screen
Dear Waze Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I would like to suggest a potential feature for future development in the Waze app. It would be extremely helpful to have a dedicated “Ambulance Alert” button placed directly on the main navigation screen—separate from the current menu options.
The idea is to allow users to quickly and easily indicate when an ambulance is approaching or passing by. This way, other nearby drivers can be immediately notified and react accordingly to make room, improving safety and response time…
