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

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…

move hazard alert button
The hazard alert icon is in the lower left corner of the screen on my android auto waze screen. This results in taking my eyes off the road to reach it across the dash. If it were relocated to the lower left corner of android auto screen it would facilitate easier and safer access.

Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Estimating the time to pass tunnels using average speed
When Waze suggests a path with a tunnel, the estimation time is always incorrect, and I cannot conclude that this is the best route. For example, if the time to pass a tunnel without traffic is 2 min and I pass it in 10 min (because of traffic), then after I came out of the tunnel, the estimation time become +8 min. I think Waze uses instantaneous velocity and GPS location to estimate traffic. In tunnels, GPS doesn't work (and many of tunnels don't have beacons), so Waze does not compute traffic in tunnels. This issue can be easily fixed…

Accident alert
Hello,
I'm a wazer, nonetheless I would like a modification of the app:
I noticed that Google maps gives you an alert of an accident in advance saying "There's an accident forward, please choose the next itinerary".
This message is not available in Waze so it's difficult to turn to the better itinerary in time without being advised.Could you add this feature for me please?
Thanks regards

What happened to the ability to report an incorrect speed limit?
Up until the last update, we could report an incorrect speed limit under Map Issues. Now there are lots of other, new issues we can report on, but the speed limit is no longer one of them.
Please put it back.

Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput
I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one
It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.
The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.
If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and…

Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night
Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night on a two-lane road, 65 mph during the day on a two-lane road, and a maximum of 70 mph for any road. I would like to be able to put this in settings, so that Waze can come up with a better route and ETA for me. I do not like being sent down two-lane roads at night going 55 mph when I could be going down a highway at 67 mph, and could…

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…1 vote -
Speed trap vs police monitoring construction area.
I would like for a way to distinguish between police out for a speed trap and those that are out monitoring a construction zone. Many times people list police out but they are blocking a freeway exit or something else and aren't trying to hand out speeding tickets

Waze horizontal average speed zone lone
When driving in average speed zone in vertical view i can see a light blue line that indicates i am still in the average speed zone but when in horizontal view i can't see it. Please add this line to the map when it's horizontal. When i am in my car and driving this is important for me and other drivers.

Reports and Hazard Alerts
Speed camera alerts or warnings should sound regardless of the speed travelling. I would rather know something is there even if under speed. GPS speed monitoring is not as accurate as a vehicles speedometer, it's usually 5mph out.

Clear alert off screen
When you have a report on the screen and I dont acknowledge it, can you please clear it out of the screen instead of leaving it on for the rest of my 45-minute drive? It is distracting, and by the time I press an option, it is not correct because I am way past that point. It is confusing, and when I want to report an alert, it gets in the way and won't let me send an alert.

On screen alert display time needs to be increased greatly when getting close.
Being able to choose “still there”or not disappears from the display long before one can confirm the alert either way.
