Change the "In 0.1 mile, turn/exit..." alert
This not only gets annoying, but the redundancy of it can lessen its urgency--Change this to "Prepare to turn/exit" as a better audible alert that a turn or exit is imminent.

Longer delay before removing alert - Extend period to respond to alert.
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: The ability to respond to alerts (example for hazards: 'still there' or 'gone') disappears too quickly. Often (pot holes, for example) you need to be right on it before you can see it. Yet as soon as you are past it, the alert has disappeared and the user cannot respond. This contributes to the general problem of a high number of redundant (old) alerts because people don't have a chance to tell the app that the hazard…

Have Waze automatically detect your speed on major roads
I drive the same busy highway every morning (I-64) here in the Hampton Roads of Virginia. A major section of it is under construction. Instead of passengers and/or drivers taking their eyes off the road to manually enter moderate/heavy/standstill traffic, it would be nice for Waze to automatically detect it and publish it to the map since there are enough people using Waze in this area. I'm sure an algorithm can be written that can detect Wazers within a 1-5 mile radius that are traveling at a particular speed and be able to automatically display the 'traffic speed' for…

New speed cameras in San Francisco
San Francisco is putting in new speed cameras.
Can WAZE warn about these locations the same way they do for red light cameras?
The following link has all San Francisco locations:1 vote -
An option to move the "average speed" pop up location
Currently the "average speed" pop up covers the speedometer, so there's no way of knowing what speed we're actually driving at until the popup disappears. Could you move the location of this popup or give us the ability to reposition the popup?

Another speed camera idea
I want field box indicating if there is a speed camera on my planned route. I want tis option with audio and I want it to take some noticeable portion of the screen. I also want this box to indicate calculated distance to the next Hazard zone each time. I want the Hazard box to stay until no hazards.

Auto speed adjustment integration with cruise control and auto brake function. On highways only.
Because of fuel burned, brake pads worn, and accidents during traffic on highways and frustration of stopping on a highway for apparently no reason at all.
Wake has enough data on the highway to integrate with auto manufacturers Cruise Control and auto braking function to keep all traffic flowing a almost constant speed. Without the concertina effect caused by human speed adjustment error. Humans will never fully trust or do not want to wait for or would possibly even afford a self driving car.
This system would only be available on highly congested highways to keep the flow of…3 votes -
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.

Temporary recording of speed and location
Please add a setting where you can record the last 2-5-10 minutes of a commute with speed, location and a timestamp. This could allow us to help defend ourselves against police errors. Ive been pulled over twice this year on the highway whit the cruise set to 120kph and the police told me they snapped me a 138 and 130 witch is not possible. It would be nice to have some kind of proof to back me up in the future. People could set this up when creating the account or even disable it for more speed in the…

Alert placement on The map
The alert should be placed where I press the first button in the process (in this case, the yellow triangle), not where I select the type of alert later on.

On commute mute turn by turn direction BUT announce incidents (accidents, caps, speed camera. Etc.)
If you drive the same route every day (as many people do ) you will not need to hear the turn by turn direction but do need advance warning of incidents ie: cop ahead, slow down in traffic, speed camera ahead etc. right now the only option is all or nothing in the (Setting-sound- navigate guidance) menu. it would also limit the number of times Waze interrupts on ongoing phone call. Thus making app even. MORE DESIRABLE!

The display of the vehicle speed and local speed limit cannot be turned off. settings toggle do not work.
This may be a bug but the displayed speed limit and vehicle speed cannot be toggled turned off. It can be toggled off/on in the settings but the display continues to show on the screen.

Zoom Ability Moving with Speed and Limit ON
Using a Kenwood DNX997XR without the zoom control and no pinch zoom the map is unreadable. I need to turn off the speed and Speed limit to see it. Its there when stopped and gone when I move.
Why not MOVE the Speed signs and make them readable. Even better a small, mid and large text box speed sign. Let the user decide what they want on the map.
Waze is great I use it all the time and on a BIG Cadillac screen its fine I pinch zoom and can BARELY see the speed limit. But on a $1000…2 votes -
Variable Speed limit warning customization
If the speed limit is say 50 mph or less, than a warning of 15 mph (or whatever you want) would be appropriate, but if it's over 50 mph maybe give a warning at 20 mph over. Also allow us to choose exact warning like 13 mph over. Seems like a pretty simple addition.
1 voteIn the Settings you’re able to choose when to warn you about going over speed limit – based on your suggestion you best choice would be to choose something like “Warn me at 15% above speed limit”

Throughout NYC's 5 boroughs, school zone cameras are enforced 24/7. They automatically send you a ticket if you go 11 mph over the speed lim
Throughout NYC's 5 boroughs, school zone speed cameras are enforced 24/7. They automatically send you a ticket if you go 11 mph over the speed limit. I usually don't speed, but 36mph in a 25 is very easy to do. It would be EXTREMELY helpful to have a "School Zone" category/alert from Waze.

CHANGE SPEED CAMERA AND RED LIGHT CAMERA ICONS BACK TO THE OLD ICON OR GIVE US THE OPTION TO CHOOSE.
Waze changed the speed camera and red light camera icon on the map and it’s so much harder to see now.
Just got a ticket for going 2 mph over the speed limit because I didn’t see the camera on my map
