Red light & speed camera warnings do not go away.
Recently, red light and speed camera warnings do not go away unless I close and restart the app. These warnings cover destination time and prevent access to other menus.

Speed camera visual
I would like to provide feedback regarding the recent changes to speed camera alerts in Waze.
The previous speed camera warning system was much better and easier to see while driving. The blue progress bar provided a clear visual indication that a speed camera was ahead and remained visible as you approached and passed it.
The new circular camera indicator is much less noticeable and is harder to see at a glance. It requires more attention to the screen than the previous design, which defeats the purpose of having a clear and safe warning system.
Please bring back the previous …

Show speed on phone while using carplay
First request: Sorry if in the wrong area.
When using CarPlay the UI on the phone should allow the speed to also be shown. As it currently stands it's only a breakdown of directions and that's it with seemingly zero way to configure what is seen.
Because the CarPlay app notoriously has a poor read of the current speed and often does not show the speed limit like the phone app does (often just shows a speed number but no indication of the speed limit of the area. And will sometimes show how much over an individual is…

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.

Don´t take for the average the motorcycle speed
In all the countries, are motorcycles drivers using waze, when there´s a lot of traffic, they go faster than the cars, I was thinking that the speed of the motorcycles don´t matter, for this important reason it doesn´t have to upload the speed to the waze servers.
When we open the app, it could be a question: are you usen a motorcycle? or a car?, or it could be a setting too.
The information that is upload for the motorcycle drivers are impacting to the ETA of the rest of the drivers!!!!!!!!!

Speed trap takes up too much screen space
On iOS (and maybe other phones), the speed trap notifications take up over 1/4 of the screen. When driving through London where there's hundreds of speed traps, the notification often hides the next turning (particularly annoying when the roads in London are so close together)!
I know it's possible to turn off speed trap notifications, but can you reduce the size of this screen so I can still see the turnings?

time based segment types
Sometimes during construction works or events some roads or areas are changeged from a public road to a private road or vice versa.
I would like to set a TBR and change the segment type during the secified time.

Turn off speed bumps
Make the speed bump notifications that way that people can turn it off, and to be able to turn off from the map also. It is very irritating when you are driving around the city and the speed bump warning pops up every 5 meters. It’s disgusting and annoying. 1. The alert covers up half the screen, and 2. the small yellow icons on the map are annoying as well because you cannot see the street names because of them.
Please just make an option where you can fully turn off speed bump warnings if you dont give a f*ck…2 votes -

Average Speed Check
Subject / Title:
Clearer visual indicator for Average Speed Check zones (progress bar & average speed)
Description:
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a UX/UI improvement regarding the Average Speed Check zones (Average Speed Cameras).
Currently, Waze mostly relies on audio alerts for these zones, which can be easily missed. It would be extremely helpful to have a clear, prominent visual element on the screen so that a driver can tell at a glance (in a fraction of a second) that they are currently inside a speed check zone.
I propose adding a dedicated visual widget or…1 vote -
Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput
I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one
It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.
The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.
If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic…

Allow to add speed cameras directly in the map editor and/or change their type (speed/light)
Currently you cannot add a speed camera without reporting it on the spot with your app and then go approve it in the map editor.. This slows down the process if you are in the editor and see a camera is missing and don't want to drive there to add it.
Changing the type of existing ones could help correct mistakes when people report a wrong type of camera.7 votes -
Please can you make the Red circled speed limit the same size as the Current vehicles speed sign as the red circled one I find too small.
