Refined UI
This may not pertain to most people, but for those of you who use the Waze app in the landscape view may have similar issues. First of all, the alert box for train crossings and red light cameras takes up approximately 40% of the bottom of the screen, as well as the direction arrows information covers the speed display. Some of the other icons are piled on top of each other. If the UI were to be more like the Android auto version of Waze or Gmaps it would be much better and easier to use.

Wave Hazard Spam
I have my sound option on Alerts Only and I get spammed w/ hazards and would like the option of turning off hazards, not only on the screen, but also on audio. I commute 45 minutes to work and 45 minutes home in Denver. I must pass 5 cars on the side of the road each way, and being on a freeway, it's more annoying than helpful, add in construction, red light cameras, and snow,, and the amount of alerts becomes annoying, especially as each one mutes my audio-book or Pandora and thus I miss a few lines in…

Notifications and Alerts
Hi team,
Great work on this service—really appreciate what you're doing! I have two suggestions that could enhance the experience:
Would it be possible to receive earlier notifications for speed traps?
Could we also get an audible notification for permanent speed cameras, rather than just having them displayed on the screen? Since it's not always possible to keep an eye on the screen, a notification would be really helpful.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Best Regards.

Update map
There are no speed cameras or red light cameras in Cleveland. They got voted out a year or two ago. Please remove them from the map. Also, just because there are cones on the side of the road does not mean road works head. There is always construction but when I try to make X it out it never goes away, its all ways saying road works when it's just normal conditions with some barrels lined up off to side (i-77 and i-480) area.

This is not an idea it is a correction.
The city of South Pasadena, FL did away with their red light cameras over a year ago as did Saint Petersburg, FL. When I am a passenger I alway hit the not helpful sign but nothing has changed.

New UI Android auto
I use Waze in Android auto even when not navigating to particular point. I have it open all the time to see updates on the road such as risk, traffic or speed cameras :) After connecting wirelessly to Android auto I always get popup suggesting addresses where I want to go. I have to tap small X button to close because it is covering half of the screen. This is happening after latest update and it is really distracting when I already drive. Connection wirelessly to Android auto takes 15-20 seconds after start so I already drive. Not safe.…

More reportables
There are a few more reportables needed. We need one for mobile speed cameras and one for reporting where there is road works and the speed limits, because it could change your route.

Vehicle head unit
Have WAZE installed on my vehicle’s touch screen head unit. Here are the “problems that I’ve come across, both would seem like easy upgrades to make?
a) When not actually navigating, 1/3 of the screen is used up with the search bar and my WAZE, resulting in limited visual info. There seems to be no way to get these to go away until needed.
b) audio alerts for speed cameras seem to have been removed? I get red light alerts but only a visual alert for fixed speed cameras.

ALPR location database
Would like ability to notate location of stationary and mobile license plate readers deployed on public roads. The same exact way in which red light and speed cameras are notated and reported on.

New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa
BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.
It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.
Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.
“It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody…

Wazecam
Bonjour, mon idée serait de pouvoir associer l utilisation de la caméra du téléphone ou du véhicule avec votre application. Cette amélioration pourrait apporter une sécurité sur l itinéraire des utilisateurs au même titre qu une dashcam. A charge à l utilisateur de l activer ou non. Déplus en cas d accident sur le trajet Waze et l utilisateur pourrait récupérer les enregistrements pour se défendre éventuellement.
Cette amélioration permettrer d éviter d avoir plusieurs dispositifs pour un même véhicule. Deplus maintenant avec car play l utilisateur pourrait même utiliser la caméra du véhicule directement.

Mute warnings when not using navigation (in Android Auto)
It's very annoying when you're driving around, not using navigation, and you're listening to Spotify for example and Spotify is getting muted because the Waze voice wants to let you know there are traffic lights, speed camera's and such when I already know they're there.

Declutter map
There are too many icons that clutters map, such as having 4 or more Traffic Light Cameras or numerous parking options near the destination. Often, the parking suggestions are not even close by, and makes the map very cluttered and difficult to see the route

Editing maps
You need to allow all users to edit maps with speed cameras and the like. Sure if you want to maintain a basemap that your power tripping editors want to keep, fine. But I should be allowed to overlay speed cameras and the like if there is a disagreement by how a local editor deems them necessary or not. You don't want to add it to the basemap? Fine. But I should be allowed to add it to a map that I use or share with my family and friends.
You also need a better reporting/dispute system that…

Adding events to the list for people to report on
Add vehicle stopped in the road causing congestion.
Add traffic lights not working causing congestion.
Add police road blocks as well as specifying what police is doing.
For instance, highway petrol will not be trapping for speed, whereas other would have set up a temporary speed trap using laser devices - not cameras.1 vote -

Suggestion 1 – Wazer color:
I suggest that the Wazer avatar should not be displayed in blue, as this color may cause visual confusion, since it is commonly associated with police and speed cameras.
The avatar could be available in multiple colors, except blue, in order to avoid misinterpretation while using the application. Brazil1 vote -
Use Waze information to Control Traffic Lights
Since I'm a long time user of Waze and Google Maps, I was wondering if Alphabet Inc. has considered designing a smart system that would use the data transmitted by Waze clients to program traffic lights.
From the research I've done, the actual smart systems in advanced cities are based on sensors and cameras placed at the intersections which makes this solution very expensive and thus not attractive to third world country cities. There's even a proposal using RFIDs in vehicles.
I am sure that city governments would promote vigorously the use of these apps and embrace a solution…

Buracos
Bom dia.
Em todo o Brasil, no período chuvoso, aumenta muito o número de acidentes e danos aos veículos, devido aos buracos na via.
Uma lamina de água suja pode esconder muitos perigos.
Acredito que alguns veículos com GPS e câmeras pode identificar, medir e mapear as irregularidades na via, alertando os motoristas e escolhendo uma melhor rota.1 vote
