Alert
Before, I used to be able to go back to the alert type screen if I had chosen the wrong alert type. Now, if I make a mistake, the ability to place the alert is lost. Please bring back the ability to choose a different alert type without losing the alert.

highway wrong direction car alert
it could be useful to add an alert to inform other wazers that a car is driving in wrong direction (very useful for the Highways). The alert will blink to any wazer smartphone display that is driving that way before the alert point.
This feature could permit alerted drivers to mantain the right lane till the end of the emergency.11 votes -
Early Alert for Standstill Traffic Following Accidents on Motorways
Possibility to treat standstill traffic as an alert when there is an accident ahead. When an accident occurs on a motorway and traffic queues start to form, the key is to receive an alert about the standstill traffic. Ideally, this should happen at a greater distance than usual.

Speed Limit Change Alert
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a voice alert of speed limit changes. I am on the highway all the time and the speed limit constantly changes. It would be helpful if the voice would say “Speed limit has increased” or “Speed limit has decreased”. I got a ticket because I thought I was still in a 75mph speed zone and I didn’t realize it changed to 55mph. Yes the image of speed limit changes accordingly but a nice voice alert would be extremely BENEFICIAL!! Thank you!!!

Long distance routing
I use Waze frequently around town and short trips, its GREAT! I also travel longer distances and Waze will not allow me to setup a route for those trips. Google Maps does, so it is certainly possible. Id love to be able to use Waze for this. Currently I run both simultaneously but switching back and forth while driving is dangerous.
65 votesGreat news! Long distance routing is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Hazard alert confirm/deny
Keep the hazard alert thumbs up or down option on screen just a bit longer (don't start it so early if you want to keep the length of time posted the same). Right now, the option disappears about a tenth of a mile before I can confirm or deny the alert. At least keep it up until we pass the site of the hazard.

INCLUDE KAMIKAZE´S ALERT IN WAZE
LIVES COULD BE SAVED BY INCLUDING A QUICK ACCESS KAMIKAZE (vehicle driving in the wrong direction) ALERT ON WAZE. KAMIKAZES IS ONE, IF NOT THE DEADLIEST DANGERS THAT YOU CAN ENCOUNTER ON A ROAD AND WAZE DO NOT HAVE THIS ALERT. I THINK IT SHOULD INCLUDE IT ASAP

Alert No Longer There
I might have missed the feature -if it exists- to report that an Alert is no longer where it is reported. This would be police, accidents, obstacles, etc. On the other hand, the app may have some way to statistically do that; ie if there have been no "thumbs up" for a period of time, the Alert no longer exists.

Alert about speed cameras even when not speeding.
Currently, with speed camera alerts enabled, the alert only activates when speeding while approaching a speed camera. An option to display the alert regardless of current speed would be beneficial.

CarPlay Alert Buttons
When using CarPlay the alert buttons that pop up are thin and vertically stacked. With the motion of the car these are very hard to hit accurately. I believe about half of my Thanks or Not There button presses are wrong. Switch to Taller side by side buttons. There is generally less horizontal motion of the car, and this should result in fewer errors.

Timeline and distance along route
Suggest to show timeline and distance along a planned route. This would facilitate break planning on longer travels.
Timelines would let you forecast where you might search for good places to eat or spend the night, depending on current traffic and suggested routes.
Distance indicators would let you forecast where you might need to refuel/charge, when your vehicle indicates range left.2 votes -
Warning message "Alert sent successfully"
A user made the error alert 4 times and claimed that the app did not give you the return that the alert had been created.
This is a suggestion for improving the app. Should help avoid duplicate UR (or quadruplicate lol).6 votes -
Crazy driver alert
Love Waze. You need a crazy driver alert. Someone going too fast, weaving, talking on cell phone and not paying attention! You can even take a pic of their license.
Thanks!9 votes -
Sleep alert
Dimming screen at not noticeable rate over an period and turn to maximum screen brightness. Create a shock to user, remind user to stay awake.
Or simply voice alert to remind sleepy driver.
And make it an option to turn the feature off.

Review distance traveled for previous trips
I need to submit the distance I drove to the airport last week. Due to heavy traffic, Waze had me take back roads. I cannot look up the distance traveled on this alternate route.
