Hi! Could you please add a TONE or BIP when the car is near the Speed Limit. This way, I don´t need to watch the APP. Best Regards

Voice Commands
The “ watch out” command is somewhat aggressive and possibly should be changed to a more informational alert like; attention or warning or watch for. The natural reaction when somebody says “watch out” is more high alert then what you are actually calling ones attention to.

Innovative collision warning system for Waze
Here's an award-winning innovation to reduce road accidents and anticipate traffic conjestion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tws6tho924. As Waze already uses GPS and connects drivers in real-time, the integration of this collision warning system will be groundbreaking for Waze. What do you say?

Motorcyclist Approaching / Fast Vehicle Approaching Report
Some motorists like to weave in and out through traffic. Often times, these drivers/riders are only noticed once they fly by, which can be dangerous or fatal for anyone involved. We can increase driver awareness by adding a “Motorcycle Approaching” or “Fast Vehicle Approaching” feature in the Navigation mode. This will warn other Wazers that a fast motorcycle or fast vehicle may be approaching and to be extra cautious when merging. With a larger audience aware of fast-approaching vehicles, we can attempt to save more lives.
Example feature...
Wazer 1: Report > Hazard > On Road > Motorcyclist passing

Choose a different warning!
Hey Waze,
When giving a Warning and using 'WATCH OUT!!!!" as the alert , its over kill . This is used when there's a car
on the side of the road/Hwy , it's tooooo over the top for a simple " There's a car on the side of the road"
or Caution, car on the side if the road.Use 'WATCH OUT!!!" sparingly, like a flipped over car ahead, or horses in the middle of the road ( or sheep, or deer or, dogs, or ___________________ fill in the blank.
WATCH OUT ( for me) is startling. We…

Neighborhood Watch Function!
It would really help if you could build some sort of neighborhood watch function Waze.So if you can make a group on Waze with other users (limited or unlimited) users would have to accept an invitation, administrators could be assigned.
Then, when Neighborhood Watch Mode is activated all users on the group could see where the other users are driving.
Nice functions that can be added is when Neighborhood mode is active and suspect activity is identified, the user could notify other active users at that time with a press of a button.

Word / Phrase Change
Maybe the word “ Caution” can be used instead of “ Watch Out” I jump everytime & keep thinking I’m about to be hit by another car. Very startling, thank you.

Screen damage caused by Hazardous report button
Watch out for heavy WAZE users...I have noticed that the Orange 'hazard' report button has caused a permanent feint ghost image on my Galaxy S6. Little bit disappointed with this. A fix on the button by developers would help. Perhaps a movable or minimised button. It's definitely there. Other users - check your phones. I use my app for about 10 hours a week.

Wearos
Apk for WearOS so you can get directions and notifications just like how it works with Google. The app is great and awesome. I just feel having the integration with the watch would put it over the top.

People watching cars in Brazil (aka flanelinhas)
We suffer with these guys that "watch" our cars when we have to pay for the parking on the streets. If you don't pay additional for these criminals, they will scratch the car or even break the windows.
I suggest to add a flag into Waze so that we can flag up in which streets these guys are cornering us.2 votes -
iOS battery is being drained, maybe because of OLED support?
Waze app is crushing my battery. Maybe the ios X update for oled support is doing it but i can watch my battery tick down because of the app. And yes, I have gone so far as to isolate just waze working on the phone and nothing else...it is WAZE draining my battery
Please fix it3 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Workers Present and Emergency Vehicles
Maybe add a report for highway maintenance workers present. And perhaps generalize police to emergency vehicle present to include fire and ambulance. Police watch the highway for more than just speeders. It’s not always a good idea for everybody (such as drunk drivers) to know about specific police presence

Smartwatch support: Would love to be able to get alerts such as police by my watch vibrating, so I don't miss any alerts.
I'd love to get alerts on my smartwatch so I can get alerts in a more discreet way.
2 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Plugins!
Instead of competing against other products and services, why not allow them to be PART OF (feed info into) Waze? Plugins, if you will.
Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOyhnwA6MQo
Escort Live is a social driving program for people who use Passport Radars. Wouldn't it make more sense for everyone ("them" because they'd be able to enjoy Waze and its massive user database, and "us" because we'd get the real-time radar info?) if Escort Live was available inside Waze?
Waze is great because it's so clean, so I understand not wanting to have other data services "clutter up" the experience,…

More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends
More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends, please. At the moment it will update my location on map approx. every 2-3min but i would really like to see almost a real time location on map.
If you share your drive with non-wazer and he/she watch your journey via browser, it looks way better because my Waze figure moves on the map all the time. I assume this location is estimation based on travel time but it's still way better than figure which doesn't move at all or moves point to point every now and then.

"Expert" setting for voice prompts
I use my phone for streaming SiriusXM as well as for Waze navigation, I'd love the ability to have an "expert" setting for voice prompts. So it would say "Hazard Ahead" instead of "Watch out, Hazard Reported on Road Ahead" making the interruption to my music or entertainment shorter but still getting my attention.

Show the same traffic animation of the Waze App also on the Livemap
Every time I watch the traffic around me on the Livemap I'm bothered by the traffic jam indication.
In the app I like the animation which shows the direction of the traffic jam, the colours and also that the average speed is shown.
In comparison to that the solution of the Livemap is fairly ugly in my opinion. There are just little lines that vanish from time to time with different zoom levels. They are very pale and have no glowing colours like it's displayed in the app.
I'd like to see beautiful traffic jam animations within the Livemap.

Bring back the report list on iOS!!
Please bring back the list of reports on iOS!!! I used to use that option all of the time, to decide which route I was going to take or see what I needed to watch out for, before I set out. Now I can only see what's going on when i set a route in the car to leave, which defeats my purpose of analyzing which way to go. I like to do this before i set out. Not the last second as I'm ready to drive. I use waze to travel long distances and I can't get a good…
