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 -
For local distance use blocks instead of feet/miles
Please give directions like humans, not a robot. If an upcoming turn is 2 blocks ahead, that is what a human would say . . . not 500 feet ahead.
When on a highway, telling me that an exit is 1/2 mile ahead is fine.
However, when on local streets (even 4 lane local roads) pease at least offer me the option of telling me how many blocks ahead the turn is.1 vote -
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…

Separate alert option for mobile phone and seatbelt cameras
Can you add a separate option option for mobile phones and seatbelt cameras? Many people also talk about this on Reddit, as I googled to see if this was an option I could turn on. Using the Police alert does not work as people do not see them and crowd-sourcing turns them off. Sometimes these cameras are mobile and sometimes permanent. It is such a money maker for the govt, I see one just got added onto lights where a road was upgraded. Having this pop up on Waze would be a reminder to drivers and therefore increase safety as…

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.

Allow users to set routing preferences based on factors other than journey time
Waze comes up with some extraordinary routes to minimise journey time, but the best route is a combination of several factors. How about allowing users to set preferences for other factors such as shorter distance, minimising turns, best fuel consumption etc.

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…33 votes -
Credit Card Skimmer - incorporate reporting finding a credit card skimmer @ a pump, ATM & set a 24hr alert
As people can report accidents or cars on the side of the roadway, we could report finding skimmers and alert drivers to the possibility of one being at the location within the past 24 hours. The alert would fade away after that period of time if no further alerts from that point are validated.

Modify Waze CarPlay
Waze in CarPlay does not correctly visualize the routes to choose them, it does not correctly show the distance, nor does it show the costs of tolls or highways, that information should be available on the CarPlay screen, since according to current laws you cannot take your cell phone while driving.

Adjust the location of alerts
In Android Auto, whenever an alert appears, it hides the search buttons, alternative routes, sound, and especially the button to create an alert. This means you have to close the alert to access the create alert button. This wastes time creating the alert and makes it unsafe, as this additional step distracts the driver.
One suggestion is to have alerts appear below the traffic directions without pushing the interface to the right.

Waze's orange alert bubble causes burn in damage really fast in amoled displays.
Waze's orange alert bubble causes burn in damage really fast in amoled display. When in dark mode, I recommend to change to a color with a more 'blackier' accent to minimize the problem.
My old galaxy s9 got permanent damage in a couple months and I don't even drive more than twice a week. I'm afraid my new phone is gonna be damaged too.2 votes -
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. For…2 votes
