Add more option then just police
We have the option to alert police are in a certain place, which people put when there are speed cameras. I think there should be a camera alert for speed cameras and the police alert be used for RBT set ups, when highway patrol are out with speed guns etc.

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”?

Settings for types of alerts to allow
There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.
The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
Speed cams
Red light cams
Police (speed trap)
Road Hazards
Road segment speed condition
Traffic Jams
Chit Chat
Accident233 votesGreat news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

The arrows that show the upcoming turn can show a turn quite a distance away. By the time you get to the right turn there are one or two turns ahead. I suggest that when you get to a situation where the right turn is the first one you get to, that the arrows turn from red to green, or flash or some other obvious shape. That way it will be easy to recognize when you really need to take the next first turn. Ron.

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

ALERTA DE RADARES EM FUNCIONAMENTO NOTURNO. LIGADO-DESLIGADO ALERT OF RADARS IN NIGHT WORKING. ON OFF
Prezados Especialistas WAZE,
Venho através desta, levantar uma situação que aflige a todos os motoristras brasileiros e se aplica consequentemente a todos os usuários do nosso tão querido WAZE.
Acabo de receber uma multa em que meu veiculo foi fotografado após avançar um sinal às 01h59min em rua do Rio de Janeiro.
Em nota, as autoridades policiais recomendam a prática de avançar o sinal à noite já que o Estado se confessa incapaz de garantir a segurança do cidadão no horário noturno. Por meio disso, acreditava que os fotossensores não multassem por avanço de sinal à noite em determinado horário.

Please add a signal of some kind to alert us that you will be speaking a direction..I miss the directions if I am listening to music.
Before voice directions, please insert sound of some kind to alert us that the voice direction is coming so I can turn down the radio or the music.
By the time I turn down the music, I've missed the voice directions.Or, is there a way to repeat the voice direction--

When an alert pops up, the pop up window should say when it was 1st reported AND more importantly, the last time someone thumbs upped it. I know you can individually check the alerts, and see when 1st reported, but not safe or easy when driving. If an alert was reported 38 mins ago it's usually not very reliable, but if someone were to thumbs up that report 3 mins ago you know it's still there.

"Friend Driving" Notification Should Be Adjustable Based On Distance
I don't need Waze to tell me that my friends in New York City or Miami are driving when I am in Toronto, Canada (unless, I guess, if they have set a route to come to Toronto). Waze should allow us to specify how far away a friend can be that it will notify us of the fact that they're driving.

keep directions on the screen
Using Waze is for directions of not knowing where to go so I think you need to go back to the small alerts on the screen instead of taking up the directions spot and having them disappear. It’s very frustrating trying to find your way through a city you’ve never driven in before when the directions keep disappearing to alert you that there’s a car on the side of the road.

Heavy traffic: "make a corridor for emergency vehicle access"
Hello,
in some countries it is mandatory to make a corridor for emergency vehicle access (According to Wikipedia: Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Germany) when you are stuck in heavy traffic. Although there are a lot of campaigns on building a "Rettungsgasse" in Germay, a lot of people still don't do it, potentially endangering the life of the victims of accidents.
I suggest adding the recommendation to form this corridor to the alert for heavy traffic and standstill.
Cheers

Traffic Jam Elimination Assistance
It seems that Waze could alert the "Wazers" on a road of a recommended speed to adapt that would help "clear" the jam if it is a phantom incident, and it is just a need to dissipate the "wave". See for instance:

Caution: Unusual activity reported nearby. Slow down and drive with care.”
I’d like to propose a community-reported Safety Alert for situations where unusual or unclear activity near the roadway creates uncertainty and potential risk, even when the cause is not clearly visible or identifiable.
In these moments, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue, leading to panic braking, sudden U-turns, or drivers unknowingly entering unstable areas.
Examples include:
Sudden crowd activity blocking streets
Chaotic traffic behavior with no clear incident
Loud or alarming sounds affecting driver focus
Unstable situations where drivers begin stopping or turning around abruptly
In these cases, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue.

Section Control
In a lot of European countries you have speed-control via section-control, means:
the avgerage speed is measured of a certain distance by taking picture of car when entering and leaving the measuring section.
Unfortunatly currently you can not warn other users of such controls.
On contrary, such controls are only posted as stationary speed-control when entering, which is very misleading5 votes -
State by state Laws
When crossing state lines, the app would alert you to state laws regarding cell phone/texting, wipers/headlights, toll transponder reciprocity, etc. We discovered the hard way (toll + fine) that Florida does not accept payment from any other states transponder.

Why are traffic jams on highway not announced? This seems like a major need going from 65mph to 0?!
Everything else is an audible, verbalized announcement. Why are traffic jams on the highway not an audible alert to the driver? I find this to be a major miss currrntly.

Notice if a location has had speed cameras/police cameras report multiple time in that locations
An alert if a location has had multiple reports of speed cameras or police in that location in the past.
I'm thinking of mobile speed camera traps that are moved around. The locations for both mobile speed traps and mobile speed vans tend to reuse the same locations.
So being able to have an alert saying cameras have been reported in this location previously would be brilliant.9 votes
