Opposite speed camera reporting and differentiate between front and rear facing speed cameras
Suggestion 1:
Sometimes, when driving, there is a police officer with a camera on the opposite side of the road. However, the app doesn’t have an option to report a “camera on the opposite side,” so we are forced to mark it as “police on the opposite side.” It would be helpful to have a specific option for reporting such cases.Suggestion 2:
Speed cameras generally fall into two categories: those that measure speed from the front of the vehicle and those that measure it from the rear. It would be great if Waze could distinguish between these…2 votes -
Direction Indicators for Speed Cameras
Add a small directional arrow or some kind of indicator next to each speed camera symbol on the map, indicating which direction that camera is monitoring. No indicator if the speed camera monitors both sides, which is rare but still exists.

Button to constantly beep if I'm always over the speed limit. Button in same speed zone to beep when over then under and over again.
You have it set up so that I can press a button and have a sound happen if I go over the speed limit by whatever miles per hour I like which I like. The problem is once I go over that speed limit range in that zone (Zone = same street without a speed limit change). If I go under and then go back over it, it does not beep again. So I don't know if I'm going over the speed limit. Can you please put a request for improvement and put more buttons there that will make it…

Automatic unit selection based on location/country.
Suggestion for Automatic Speed Unit Switching in Waze
A pop-up window should appear when crossing into a country that uses a different speed unit (km/h or mph), allowing users to switch without interrupting navigation.
For example, I drive in the UK, where I use miles and mph. When I enter France, which uses kilometers and km/h, Waze could display a prompt:
“Would you like to switch to km/h?”
This would let me change the unit instantly instead of stopping navigation and digging through the settings menu.Alternatively, Waze could switch automatically based on location or offer a setting with options…

Hey Waze, Is it possible to make the official speed sign the same size as the current speed sign because it is much more visible. Thanks Ger

Horizontal app use: Show speed while music player is open
When app is being used horizontally & the music player is open, the "speed/speed limit" feature isn't visible. Would love to have an option to move it somewhere else or make the music player a bit smaller which would prevent having to open & close it as often just to check speed info. And on that note, the arrow to close the media player could be a tad bigger so that it requires less accuracy, reducing time with eyes off the road. Love this app though!

Fixed speed camera alert stuck on screen bug
As soon as I get close to a fixed speed camera the on screen alert for that that appears on the left side of the screen gets stuck there for the whole trip. This is annoying because I can't get alerts for new speed cameras that I encounter during the same trip.

Time zone adjustment
Waze should adjust ETA to the local time when destination is a different time zone. When you leave Phoenix for southwest CO, for example, the ETA should be in mountain time, not AZ time. Currently, the ETA only adjusts when your phone automatically adjusts as you cross the time zone. It would be nice to know drive time is 6 hours, but ETA is 7 hours due to time change.
1,150 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

Speed monitoring for verbal alerting on fixed camera
There is no verbal alerting for fixed camera. I also noticed that Waze checks the speed of my car about 250 meters before the fixed camera. Afterwards, there is no longer a monitoring of the speed (during the last 250 meters before the camera). Therefore, if the driver increases the speed by lack of attention i.e. because he missed the message displayed on the Carplay screen, he becomes exposed (it was my case …). Would it be possible to develop the following improvement (as being an option in the configuration).

Voice countdown to speed cameras (like radarbot)
It would be a massive benefit to have a countdown to speed cameras and the associated speed limit to be sounded very 50m or so when approaching any camera on route.
See Radarbot. Very useful but would be great in Waze.

Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation…

Speed traps menu
Wase deserves a specific session for speed traps. With a choice of types of alerts, distances and notifications at the user's discretion.
Other apps already do this. The day you finally have these options, Waze will be unbeatable1 vote -
What about connecting Waze to OBD port so that waze can connect to a vehicle's cruise control and maintain speed under certain conditions?
Add a feature that connects waze to a vehicles OBD to help maintain speed through vehicles cruise control to maintain speed
