Alert drivers that a street they are about to take is extremely steep and their car might not make it up.
Alert drivers that a street they are suggesting is extremely steep and that a car might not make it up that steep street. I have recently daily watched cars on a local street in Echo Park using Waze to get around traffic only to be directed up one of the steepest streets in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, unless they have a new car with great tires and transmission many are getting stuck on street on the way up. It is actually funny when I have talked to the people they all say that Waze directed them up this street. I bet…

When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjust the timing of the alert announcement to give more time to warn of what is ahead ?

Being able to use both metric and imperial/US units.
In Puerto Rico, we use kilometers (km) to measure distance but we use miles per hour (MPH) to measure speed since we are a US territory. In the app, you can only choose imperial or metric. I would like to be able to use MPH to measure speed while using metric units to measure distance.

Configure highway Navigation way point alerts
Often times when driving in the highway waze does not provide a way point alert until we are very close to the waypoint. On the highway having some more advance notice (.25, .5, or 1m?) on these waypoint alerts would be really helpful in terms if safe driving.

Add an option to change where the alert is displayed on your phone screen (eg. speed cameras) from the bottom or top of your phone screen
Add an option to change where the alert is displayed on your phone screen (eg. speed cameras) from the bottom or top of your phone screen. As i find that for me when the alert is on the bottom i miss it due to the placement of my phone in the phone holder so if it was on the top of the screen that would be much better for me personally so give users the option to change where the alert is displayed on screen.

speed cameras
The alert about speed cameras warns about cameras that are positioned on the same direction the car drives, which is counterproductive.It should warn about cameras that are placed on the opposite direction, because these cameras are the ones that are relevant , they take the picture.

continuous speed limit alerts
Waze currently only alerts you once if you are speeding. Suggesting an option to allow to keep alerting every X number of min or seconds.

Visual alert to upcoming maneuver
It would be great if there was a way to add visual alerts (flash screen, etc) so the audio alerts can be turned off but it would still get my attention when I need to pay make a move. This would be especially helpful on long drives with sleeping kids in the car.

Allow viewing on mobile while connected to android auto
When my phone is connected to Android Auto, viewing the app on the phone is disabled but not all features are enabled on the car display which are often needed. I cannot change my vehicle type (car/motorcycle), I cannot share my ride, if I am not currently navigated I cannot change alert settings.

include a live odometer (android)
As a bicyclist, I don't get a spedometer nor an odometer with my bike. Instead of paying an extra $200 for the setup, I decided to mount my phone to my bike hence me using waze, and having a difficult time deciding whether or not I should use waze, or a diff app for my trips as I like keeping track of my speed, distance, and time for my various trips.
If you can include a hud or at least an indicator for distance traveled, that would be awesome. I'm liking the inDrive app style

Crash
I would like Waze to send push notifications about reported accidents even when navigation has not started yet.
Currently Waze only alerts drivers about accidents during active navigation. However, many professional drivers (taxi drivers, couriers, delivery drivers, etc.) check traffic conditions before departure to plan safer and faster routes.
Suggested feature:
Allow users to receive accident alerts in advance within a configurable radius (similar to the existing distance-based alert settings). This would help drivers:
• Plan routes before starting navigation
• Avoid dangerous or blocked areas early
• Reduce congestion and delays
• Improve road safety

Secure routes
People should feedback the security of route (too dark, too dangerous, too lonely in a 1-5 scale for example). this way, user can choose route by distance, ETA or security.
Some times I just drive through routes I didn't wanna to if I knew.

When entering a traffic alert, if we enter "standstill" you should be marking the traffic on the map AHEAD of where we are not behind us.
When entering a traffic alert, if we enter "standstill" you should be marking the traffic on the map AHEAD of where we are not behind us. We click "standstill" when we hit the traffic not after we left it.

Not there outside routing
We need an option to report "Not There" on incidents, even if it's not on the planned route. Now it's only possible when a popup comes up for the planned route. The "Not There" option should be present on any popup when clicking on an incident icon, even if it's on the other lane or outside the planned route, but within viewing distance.

Take away the chime that alerts you that you’re currently in a traffic jam.
This alert is Pointless. It doesn’t warn you that you are approaching a traffic jam - No, it only alerts you that you are Currently Sitting in a traffic jam. I have tried every option possible to turn this alert off, or change its chime tone, it’s not possible to opt out or change it to silent. It’s beyond stupid. I Hate It!
