Connect Waze to sireneradar.com to let Waze show a warning of an approaching emergency vehicle.
In the Netherlands we have the sireneradar.com initiative. Most emergency services are connected to this system.
The location of the police/fire/ambulance-vehicle is reported realtime to the platform, That data is available to navigation vendors like TomTom and Flitsmeister, and they sound and display a warning to their users for an approaching emergency vehicle.
This way the Waze users get an early warning, so they can be extra alert when they need to.

nombre d'utilisateurs autour de vous
Au démarrage de waze il nous affiche le nombre d'utilisateur autour de nous mais nous ne savons absolument pas sur quelle distance. Cette information est extrêmement floue. J'aimerais pouvoir choisir la distance de cette information car rien ne me confirme que les autres utilisateurs sont proche de moi et rien ne me l'indique aussi en navigation. J'aimerais avoir la distance exacte du wazer devant moi pour savoir si ma route est sure.
When Waze starts it shows us the number of users around us but we have absolutely no idea over what distance. This information is extremely vague.…

"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.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Speed camera alert under menu Police
Hi
After my last voyage I found that waze doesn't have a lot of marked speed cameras the same with sectional speed measurement. For example in Czech republic. I had to use other app to get alerts. Why waze let us Mark speed cameras In new menu or under police menu. It would be easier to refresh database.
Under police should be option to mark type of services like border guards, police or road inspection of transport.1 vote -
make alerts omnidirectional
Alert users to incidents on both sides of the road when there is no divider on the road. On two lane highways voice alerts for police and accidents are directional. Meaning it only alerts you to reports that were made in the direction you are traveling. It should alert you to all reports on the road regardless of which direction you’re heading. Helpful for police and accidents when they could affect both lanes.

Flash directions section of the screen when approaching turn
When approaching a turn flash the directions section of the screen a few times. This allows for users that use waze with the volume down but can still alert them to an approaching turn by getting their attention.

Ability to self identify as a slow moving moving vehicle or runner.
This feature would allow one to self identify as a slow moving object updating one's position as necessary (every .2 miles?), alerting approaching vehicles. This would allow a runner or a horse rider or road working crew to alert drivers to be alert as the approach. Perhaps with "hazard" lights on the main screen so the user knows they activated this feature. The feature would self disable above 25 mph. And perhaps reactivate below 25 mph unless disabled.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

Voice instrction
Hello,
I am a diligent and passionate user of waze. I want you to integrate a function that allows you to choose that the traffic voice instruction should be spoken once at half distance rather than 3 times.
Best regards.
Excellent day.
Xavier4 votesThank you for your suggestion. We will add this request to our User Request wish-list.
Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Disable Bluetooth usage in app. I use Bluetooth as a care phone, but listen to the radio.
I use the Bluetooth for car phone use, but listen to the radio. Because you can't turn off Bluetooth use in waze, it runs silent because it's trying to alert you by Bluetooth.. a setting for Bluetooth use within the app would be helpful..

Live Alerts Notifications for my favorite/default routes
Currently there is a feature for Travel planning to schedule departure times, but not always used for most common routes or favorites (for example going home), and I think need to be set every time you plan a travel...
The idea is to be able select routes from my favorites or set specific routes (start to finish points) and if some specific type of alert (that we can define, e.g Accidents, or delay time, etc) is posted in Waze on that way, we can receive a real time Waze Notification, Message and/or email with that type of alert at the…

Please fix the CarPlay issues,
Please fix the CarPlay issues. Directional information covers the speed limit, move the speed limit to the top left? Speed camera notifications cover too much screen, make these transparent? Show the average speed camera distance like on the mobile version of the app. After turning a corner the map takes too long to realise you’ve turned meaning you scan easily miss your next turn if it’s close after.

Deactivate construction alerts
How can i deactivate construction alerts? For me it is no help to get informed of constructions and it interrupts me unnecessary.

Re-enable Other Side Police Reporting
Otherside Police Reporting- This was probably one of the best features of the App- other than the same side regular police notification. It gives a warning for less traveled roads that may have a Waze user traveling in the other direction on a less traveled road whereas a same way traveler has not yet passed and left an Alert. PLEASE BRING THAT FEATURE BACK ASAP!

Adding Social Distancing reminder notification
During this pandemic, I think it would be a really good move for Waze to add some sort of notification reminding users of the social distance recommendations such as wearing a mask, standing 6ft apart, and washing hands. I imagine this would look similar to the notification that pops up when the app is being used while the vehicle is in motion, reminding the driver about safe driving, except this notification should pop up right after the driver presses go. As Waze is used by many, I think this is a great way to take action and do your part…

Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest
Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest.
Right now, if you are in the midst of a long trip and click "Add a stop" and ask see options (for food or gas or coffee) you see locations near your destination.
Suggestion is to add distance options, like "show closests first".
What good is a gas station that is 125 miles away? ;)11 votes -
Earlier warning ⚠️ 🛑
Warnings on higher speeds, over 80km/h need to be given at 1000m, since to higher speeds mean less time/distance to respond....

Notification Fin de travaux
Sur les autoroutes les travaux s'entendent parfois sur plusieurs kms sans aucune information sur la distance de blocage de la voie.
L'idée serait de pouvoir déclarer la fin de travaux (comme nous pouvons déclarer les débuts de travaux) de façon à pouvoir avoir cette information sur notre GPS.3 votes
