AUDIBLE ALERTS
CAN AN AUDIBLE ALERT BE ADDED FOR PLANNED DRIVES??? MAYBE A BEEP BEEP? Too many times I plan a trip and I miss the text notifications. If it were audible I doubt that I would’ve missed it.

road ahead preview button
I would like to have an on map button which, on hold or on press, will zoom out the map to show the entire route ahead.
Releasing or pressing again will go back to regular nav mode.
This is great for getting a sense of the route and not having to be constantly alert to input from the client (visual or auditory).
Thanks,

Traffic alerts
I think I will be a good idea for the app to have traffic alerts. Not just saying traffic reported ahead. Based on the speed limit the app to tell you to slow down because of traffic. It will be extremely useful on highways. For example, a kilometer ahead to display/announce such warning and recommendation to slow down. Therefore, drivers will not have to stop abruptly and accidents might be prevented.

Speed Limit Alerts for Commercial Vehicles
In the UK speed limits for public light goods (commercial) vehicles are different, so for example on national speed-limit A-roads, cars are allowed to do 60mph, but commercial vehicles like panel vans, can only do 50mph. It’s to do with the increased payloads they potentially carry.
This differential isn’t catered for in the app, so when it’s set to alert when the speed limit is reached, a van driver in many cases is actually 10mph over which is enough of a margin to receive an endorsement in the UK.
The speed differences for light goods vehicles are however standardised: they…

Disable Police Alert during government lockdowns
During lockdown periods imposed by the government to control the spread of Covid-19, law enforcement agencies are hard at work manning road blocks to advise all road users to stay home.
The option to SHARE the location of police presence/road blocks during this period makes things harder for the authorities to manage potential Covid-19 carriers as they will find alternative routes to bypass those blocks.
I hope Waze can consider to temporarily disable police location reporting at least during lockdown periods of each respective country. We all need to do our part in curbing this virus.
Thank you.

Improved Alert System for Fixed Cameras at Junctions in Waze
I would like to suggest an enhancement to the way Waze handles alerts for fixed cameras at junctions. Currently, Waze only provides voice alerts for the direction in which the camera is set up, even though the camera captures images from every direction at the junction.
For better safety and user awareness, it would be highly beneficial if Waze could provide voice alerts for all directions when a fixed camera is present at a junction. This would ensure that drivers are fully informed of the camera’s location, regardless of the direction they are traveling.

Go back to the old format for alerts. Color & Location
Blue for police, orange for hazards. It's more eye-catching. Having the alerts near the bottom really doesn't catch the eye. Before the change was made I didn't even have to glance at my phone I could see the colors and icon through my peripheral vision

Automatic switch metric/imperial units
Have measurement units change automatically when crossing into a country with a different system. Perhaps include an auditory and visual alert as well.

State line alerts/voice prompt
I love Waze, I use it all the time! I drive almost 2000 miles a week for work, One thing I would love to have as a feature is state prompts or when you cross the state line if it announced welcome to "state name". sometimes when you're driving on back roads they don't always have the Stateline sign, I've even missed The big ones on the highway. It would just be nice to have a voice prompt simply say welcome to "state name" thanks!

Alerte limite vitesse
Bonjour,
Merci pour cette application.
Serait-il possible de pouvoir moduler le son de l'alerte sonore de dépassement de la vitesse, car je ne l'entends pas, même quand le son global de Waze est au maximum.
Cela sera d'autant plus utile que les routes françaises passeront prochainement à 80km/h.
Merci.10 votes -

Combination Red Light & Speed Camera
In my area there are now red light cameras that are also speed cameras. Why is this relevant? Because if the light is STALE (green for a long period and may be turning yellow/red soon at some point) I and other drivers who are aware that the light may be turning red may speed up to avoid the possibility of a receiving a red light ticket. (Because you can’t just stop for a stale green light) If you are aware the redlight camera also tickets for speed it would be a helpful reminder to keep your speed in check while…

Lower speed threshold setting
All of the speed threshold settings are for at or above the speed limit. By the time the alert goes off I am already breaking the speed limit. It would be nice to set a threshold like 3 or 5 mph below the speed limit to prevent ever going over.

Too many alerts on speed reduction
The alert "speed reduction ahead" became too invasive. Travelling on a mountain road or in the middle of nowhere waze keeps alerting about slowdowns ahead. This becomes quite annoying after 30-40km of road and 40-50 alerts about speed reduction ahead. It foces the user to silence the alerts... including the one important for the security. I would limit those announces. Thank you. Luca
