Lighting effects on alerts
If Police is reported ahead, then we should get blue and red lights flashing. Basically, have different lighting effects on alerts and turn them off if we don't want it at all or for a specific alert.

Additional alert ideas
For a hazard option, please add person on the side of the road. It would also be helpful to be able to put car on the left side of the road on an interstate, location of objects on the road, and the location of a car crash on the road.

drive the speed limit alerts when cutting through a neighborhood
Waze sends lots of drivers through my neighborhood when traffic is bad. Most drive over the speed limit and will even pass others who are driving the speed limit. Because you have demonstrated that you do not care about my neighborhood, except as a cut-through, please add a voice alert that will sound when people are using waze to cut through neighborhoods reminding people to drive the speed limit.

Stop alerting drivers to automated enforcement cameras.
When you alert drivers to upcoming automated enforcement cameras, you defeat the purpose of this lifesaving technology. The purpose of the cameras is for drivers to receive a warning or a summons, and permanently alter their speeding or red light running behavior. By offering these alerts, Waze encourages drivers to continue driving recklessly. It is the most anti-social thing your company does.

New cameras alert
Subject: Request to Add New AI Camera Locations in Dubai to Improve User Safety & Experience
Dear Waze Team,
I hope you are doing well. I would like to request that Waze include the newly installed mobile AI camera locations across various roads in Dubai. These are not standard speed cameras—they are advanced AI enforcement cameras capable of detecting multiple types of driving violations. Many drivers are currently receiving unexpected fines because the locations of these cameras are not yet available on any navigation apps.
Adding these AI camera locations to Waze would greatly help drivers stay informed and compliant…

Audio alerts without voice guidance
For routine drives (to and from work), I don't want voice guidance, but I would still like to get audio alerts for traffic issues, etc. There should be an option to enable voice alerts without voice guidance.

I vote for the route in the center of the screen on android car audio
On android car radio the route is not in the center of the screen. Moreover - it is on the right side of the screen, at the maximum distance from the driver. It is very uncomfortable! Fix it please!

Danger Area
I suggest creating a dangerous areas alert feature as slums, streets or dangerous areas, with danger degree (high, medium or low) for assault, burglary, vandalism, etc. And the system always warn approach. The user can configure whether you want a route that deviates from the area or not, as you prefer the user.

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!

Additional Warning/Alert
Having an option to report an unsafe driver or other warnings that may occur on an interstate. Often we see cars that maybe driving at an excessive speed, swerving, semis that don't have loads strapped down, etc and it would be nice to have a place where these could be reported for other wazers.

Predictive Coasting Speed Alert / Vorausschauende Roll-Geschwindigkeitswarnung
I suggest adding a predictive driving option to Waze that helps drivers adjust their speed more smoothly before reaching reduced speed zones.
Currently, Waze shows the reduced speed limit exactly when you reach the zone, which often forces drivers to brake actively. My proposal is that Waze should calculate the optimal point at which I should release the accelerator, allowing the car to coast into the reduced speed limit without using the brakes.
The system should display an alert such as “Reduce speed to 50 km/h in 300 m” at the right moment for coasting.Additionally, the app could optionally collect…1 vote -
I cannot use waze with the new alert display
The new alerts are interfering with my next turn !! I live in a large city with high traffic and LOTS of alerts. This means I have upcoming turns that happen quickly and all day today the alerts come up and suddenly my next turn was completely gone! Im going to have to switch to another app unless there is something done quick. Your can’t expect people to drive in a city and not see their next turn because alerts come up constantly in the city!

Android Auto alerts highly intrusive, even dangerous
[On a knob-controlled UI]
Popups like “Police ahead”, and “vehicle on shoulder ahead” can be very intrusive. They seem to appear much earlier than before and there is no way to simply dismiss it without confirming or negating the alert. I would suggest that hitting the “Back” button should dismiss the alert.Responding to the alert is way too involved. When I get an alert, the “Still there” button is highlighted, however it is not the selected control. Usually, the Search button is. So, it looks like I can just click my knob to confirm the alert…

Would like to see better graphics on the road alert popups so easier to distinguish alert type if voice alerts are off.
Need different graphic for vehicle on side of road, construction, object on road, etc. If sound is off or not hears, the subtext (vehicle stopped on shoulder, vs construction, etc) are hard to read. Also, different graphics for visible vs hidden police alerts would be helpful.
