Customise alert filtering
I am requesting for more user customisation on what alerts come through
I find the alerts useful however they can get very annoying when listening to music.
The 3 options you currently get are: all, alerts only, silence.
It would be great if I could select alerts for just speed cameras, police etc leaving out speeding & pothole alerts (example)

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.…

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
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.

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 -
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…

When on hiways, Make app give an alarm if users ahead suddenly slow down it could say alert..traffic stopped or slow ahead.
When on hiways, Make app give an alarm if users ahead suddenly slow down it could say alert..traffic stopped or slow ahead. Use same technology that makes all pop up and ask if you are in traffic also have app tell you why it is picking a less direct route if it's because of traffic or accident or closure

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.

Alerta de Perigo (Danger Alert): Ofuscamento Solar / Sun Glare Hazard Alert
O Problema (The Problem):
Nas rodovias, durante o nascer e o pôr do sol, a luz solar incide diretamente na visão dos motoristas (ofuscamento). Isso reduz drasticamente a visibilidade, causando cegueira momentânea e aumentando o risco de colisões graves, atropelamentos e saídas de pista. Atualmente, o Waze avisa sobre neblina e chuva, mas ignora o sol forte.
(On highways, during sunrise and sunset, sunlight hits drivers' eyes directly (sun glare). This drastically reduces visibility, causing momentary blindness and increasing the risk of severe collisions. Currently, Waze warns about fog and rain but ignores dangerous sun glare.)

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…

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.

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 -

Make distances to turns more prceise
Lately, when I use Waze for navigation, it miscalculates the distance remaining to turns. It will tell me I have 25 feet to go when I am already at the corner, or 150 feet when I'm a few feet from it. I did not used to have this problem.

Alert for BMW drivers
Dear Waze Development Team,
I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to propose a feature enhancement that could potentially improve the user experience and safety measures within your esteemed navigation application.
As an avid user of Waze, I have noticed an opportunity for a unique feature that could contribute to the overall safety and awareness of all drivers on the road. I am suggesting the addition of a feature that provides alerts to users when they are approaching or are in close proximity to a BMW vehicle.
The motivation behind this…

Add "No lanes closed" response to "Waze Asks" card for roadworks alerts
A recent unannounced change has added a "What do you see?" card when approaching a roadworks alert. The only response options are to report lane closures or to indicate that the roadworks are no longer there. There is no intuitive option to dismiss the question or respond that construction is still taking place but no lanes are closed.
The majority of roadworks take place without any lane closures, yet the app assumes that closures will occur.
Without an intuitive way to respond differently to a lane closure, many users seem to be selecting one of the closure options to…38 votes
