Speeding alert for drivers
Waze should make a sound to alert the driver when they are speeding.
Waze already shows you how fast you are currently driving, and it knows everything about the road you are on, so it should be simple to compare your speed to the listed speed of the road.
Waze has always been about saving time and money for Wazers, and about creating features to attract and keep people on their service. This allows Waze to on-sell quality map data to other businesses, such as Apple. Many other SatNav clients have speeding alerts to save the driver from…
325 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Android auto usage: Last update is not ok at all. The route symbol is small and far, while it.s a button used often during the drive. The routes to be selecter have no longer different colors. It.s very hard to select the preferred route. The lanes are now in the most difficult corner to be observed, while again is something often to be used/seen. Please revert back everything.

Reporting privileges and scoreboard
First, I want to tell you that I absolutelly love your app, it is my favorite app of all and I am truly a Waze ambassador (I have around 20 friends that are now using Waze due to me and over 10 friends that are using it havilly, due to my advice).
I received your message and I have a couple of questions:
- Why my reporting privileges were disabled? Who, when and how decides what is excessive reporting or not? Is there some guidelines?
- Why my scoreboard is now 0?
- How can I get back my reporting privs and my…

Bike icon choice please
A bit more than one bike icon. At least a few colours to select if not sports , sports tourers and even cruisers. I ride a triumph Sprint ST.
This isn't so strange as the one thing that ALL bike riders share...is a passion for their transport.
Car users aren't as widely passionate about what they drive but of course many of them are.

Yellow Box Junction Cameras
TLDR Version: At the moment on Waze you can only report either speed cameras, red light cameras or fake cameras, having a 'yellow box junction' camera would be a logical and great addition imho.
Non TLDR Version: Yellow box junction cameras drive me nuts (for those not UK based these are cameras that make sure yellow box junctions - ie boxes marked on the road to stop drivers stopping at the entrance to a side junction and blocking it), mainly because not all yellow boxes are enforced with cameras (so drivers from all angles enter it and the…

The reporting interface is dangerous while driving and needs improvement
I think that there are quite a few suggestions indicating that the report interface is dangerous while driving and therefore needs improvement. It is not acceptable to go through several levels of clicks to make a report as one drives. It might be useful to allow one to rearrange or perhaps prioritize the report icons so that common reports are 'one click'. Linking the icons with a voice activation phrase is also a good idea that appears to have quite a few votes spread through several suggestion postings.

Alert Not Disappearing
When an alert pops up it will not disappear like it used to. I need to be able to see the map and sometimes I don't have availability to say whether something is there or not. Please fix this error and make the alerts disappear again after a short period of time so they're not blocking half your screen for the remainder of the drive.

Type a name- find an address
When searching for information on our friends it is automatic to type their name into the search engine (whether searching for a number or facebook, etc.)
What if I had a friends address saved in its contact info and when wanting to go to their house- all I had to do was type my friends name into the navigate option (instead of the address) and it would bring up the address saved under that contact. It's instinctive and simple.
Obviously each person's waze would have to be personalized so that the addresses don't become public for all waze users.

Notificatiosn need to be posted earlier in time to compensate for people who drive 70-80 mph on highway. That equates to almost a half mile
I will constantly get notifications after I have encountered them. Police, object on road, pothole, etc. Your system needs to make the adjustment for highway speed vehicles. At 80mph a half mile can go by in the 20 seconds it may take to post a notification. That is more than the length of time you offer the notifications...

the map doesn't display properly for ETA maps for long drives.
the map doesn't display properly for ETA maps for long drives. I can see the whole map for a route under an hour (not sure of distance, assume average highway speeds), but the map glitches and zooms in on IDK what when I watch someone do a drive of over 250 miles.

Allow entering destinations while driving.
Passengers should be able to use the app while the car is on the road, same for drivers trying to change destinations during a red light.

Don't send nasty letters to users if they drive from CO > FL
Received a nasty letter, one day after I returned home. Driving from Colorado to Florida and back.
WAZE also does not work for more than 1000 miles, I think that should be rectified1 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.

Waze's own chat
I was picking up my little brother yesterday and in the meanwhile i noticed that if i didnt have to switch between whatsapp and waze in order to chat with people not interested in waze, it would be even cooler!
I mean. I may log in so i could contact "a friend" that i know is connected to waze for example, just to chat. The facebook friends list is awful, because .. what? 30% of your list uses waze? and when they wanna chat with you, they dont think of the waze-3.5-facebook chat a a good system, so i have…

Speed before sharp curves or in rough weather
Alert when a user drive to fast before curve in the road or a coming intersection.
Waze knows the speed of the car and "knows" that we are getting close to a sharp curve in the road , alert in that case would be very important . Especillay in a rough weather.5 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Navigation is too close. Need a farther out perspective. I like to look beyond just a few blocks.
I drive for Uber and need a broader perspective of the route.
