2 step alerts
The alerts are awesome. My issue is that the prompt to confirm the alert (“still there” / “not there”) is too early for me to determine if it is. For example, I can’t see an object in the road that’s 1/2 a mile away. Because the pop up is distracting, half the time I just click that it’s still there. I wonder if there could be a two step process. So, 1. The alert 2. Once you’re closer to it “still there”?

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!

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…

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!

Alerts based on time
You should calculate how far or how long a Alert stays on the screen based on your speed because if something is a mile away and you're traveling miles an hour config one hour to get to especially if the traffic jam so if you could display something which is like a minute away they sometime be about the much better use of the screen space because something is staying there

Meet another wazer
Add a feature to allow two wazers to request and approve to meet each other, which would show "distance apart" and possibly route to a central location, possibly a parking lot. It would most likely initiate from a friends list, or be able to recognize names on the seach location screen, which would send a meeting request to the friend wazer, allowing them to accept the request and initiate the routing.

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 -
Warning of approaching speed limit sign
We need to have a warning about approaching a speed limit change sign 550m ahead. Like the traffic camera warning ahead. This is very necessary so that drivers can proactively reduce speed from a distance. And the speed limit symbol can be optionally larger in size.

Create shortcut to go to location and alert user of journey (replicate Glympse functionality)
I have noticed that Waze now offers location sharing. I would like for it to completely replace my need for running Glympse in tandem. Ideally, if I could have a shortcut icon on my phone home screen that started navigation to "Home", and shared my location with my wife, this would be great. Many thanks.

School bus partnerships
As a parent, and as many otther parents share the same concern, we want to know where our kids are when on a school bus. There are times when buses run an hour late and we have no idea where our kid is. If Waze partnered with bus companies, notifications could be pushed to Waze users who are connected with their children's bus to alert them.

Alerts and Navigation Checkboxes
I would love the option to turn off alerts and solely have the navigation voice be audible!
I've read that the purpose for having the options be "Sound Off," "Alerts Only," and "Sound On" -- no "Navigation Only" -- is to keep the interface sleek, which I completely understand and support... so how about instead of making it a slider from "Sound Off" to "Alerts Only" to "Sound On," you made them checkboxes?
That way, you'd only have two toggles -- "Alerts On/Off," and "Navigation On/Off," and folks in dense metropolitan areas wouldn't…

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.

Limit traffic alerts to same country/smaller area
There's no point in showing alerts from 2000+ km away. Most people are only interested in alerts in their immediate area.
62 votesOn Android, iPhone and next versions of Symbian and WM, you can set a radius for alerts. Go to general settings.

Limit weather alerts
Limit the weather alerts so they are not distracting. Driving in severe weather yesterday I kept getting weather and slippery road alerts every few seconds which caused a distraction. I ended up turning off the volume so I could focus on the road. Seems like there could be a filter similar to traffic that limits the number of alerts in a given area while still conveying the initial alert.

Move all traffic alerts 1-2 miles earlier
I would dearly love to hear there's traffic ahead a mile or two sooner, please.
I've never had a traffic alert sound before I am in the tailback, and it is too late to reroute, or accept fate!
Big fan of Waze, thank you.

Add an option in the police alert for "unmarked". To me "hidden" is different than an unmarked police car.

Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Clickable alerts icons in the "Overview" button
I think it can be better to have the possibility to click on the alert icons at the top of the screen (traffic, crash, hazard...) when we are on the "Overview" screen to see where the different alerts are.
