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.

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 -

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…

Please keep arrival time on screen during alerts.
Please keep arrival time on screen when alert pops up while driving. Whenever I get speed, red light camera alerts, the arriving time disappears and comes back only after alert goes away.
There is enough room in car play screen for both or make the alert smaller please. I would like to see, arrival time and remaining time left at all times.
Thank you very much.
I love Waze. Keep doing great job and happy holidays!!!!4 votes -

reduce size of alert box and still their box after iOS 16 update cannot see directions on screen
Since the iOS 16 update, the alert box is so large on the left side that you can’t see your next turn or miles or anything until you click still there or not. I still need to be able to see directions with the alerts as it’s caused me to miss, turns quickly when it pops up or it makes me just click still there instead of actually waiting to see just to get the box to remove. Please show a way to reduce that alert box size or move it to the right corner. Thank you!!

Police
Police alerts are helpful in many ways, the one thing that would help a bit more is if along with the alert there should be an indication of how much time has passed since the alert was posted. This feature is already available but only if you tap on an upcoming police alert icon in which you will see for example 10min ago on the top right corner, but it does not show in the alert that pops up as you drive....... Unless it is a construction site police are rarely in one spot for very long...... I feel…

Speed limit announcement
It would be nice if speed limits on the motorways could already be announced in advance (with distance information, e.g. 120 km/h in 800 m). I got to know and love this function in Sygic Car Navigation...
This saves fuel and brakes...

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.

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 -
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.

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

I would like a quick procedure (two-fingrer-tap) that will make Waze speak the current distance till next
move, e.g. "In 800 meters, turn left on High Street".
If you are busy when it tells you first time, or if you forgot, this would be helpful not needing take up the phone and read in the upper corner.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.

I’m reaching out to introduce Alive Alert, a patent-pending system designed to bring verified, real-time hazard alerts directly into driver
I’m reaching out to introduce Alive Alert, a patent-pending system designed to bring verified, real-time hazard alerts directly into driver navigation platforms — without relying on crowdsourced reports.
Alive Alert ensures that drivers are automatically notified when approaching active road construction, utility work, or other roadway hazards. Unlike existing systems that depend on user reports, alerts through Alive Alert originate only from licensed contractors or agencies with valid permits.
When a construction permit is issued, the designated alert zone and activation window are set by the permit office. Once the job is awarded, the contractor is granted…

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…
