PLEASE remove the reporting of potholes -- This is driving me insane.
Hello,
Though I do believe the initial intentions of reporting potholes were genuine, it has become an absolute nightmare for regular wazers.
I live in a metropolitan area and, unfortunately, not many people in my area have any inclination on what a pothole actually is. This has led to people spamming the map with tens of pothole reports on any given stretch of road (usually the reports are for an uneven patch of road, or even a small bump in the road)...
I'm sure other will agree that this issue has led to, and will continue to lead to, alert…

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!

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.

Thanks/Not There
Instead of having the alert (example “Vehicle Stopped) and then the two options (Thanks / Not There)… you should have Thanks on top, the alert in the middle, and not there on the bottom. This will reduce accidental misreporting. We’re trying to drive and can’t stare at the screen. Help us help you. 😀

Alert regarding illegal waste disposal sites.
Hello Wase!! My name is Carlos Reckert, I am a software engineering student and I am currently developing a university extension project on the UN SDGs. My idea is that, since there is already a feature to report potholes in the road in the application, a function should also be added to report locations with irregular disposal of household waste and debris. This would be another public and social utility promoted by your platform. The social impact would be significant not only in my city/community, but anywhere there is an active user willing to engage. This initiative would facilitate the…

Police camera ≠ police report
In some countries, it is not allowed to drive with an app giving the exact locations of police cameras (automatic speed control), waze intelligently gives the area where the police cameras are (very useful alert and the utilization of waze is allowed).
But to fight the concept of the "area" most of drivers post a police location each time they pass beside a police camera (I have observed it, a police camera in Paris France is reported every 15 min, sometime several times).
Consequence : waze gives the exact location of each police cameras everyday, every time.
The problem is…29 votes -
Better 'ok Google' voice control
Since its simple enough to configure Google to auto-listen for 'ok Google' and its voice recognition is much faster than the three-finger touch version in Waze, could Waze implement a full set of commands for the 'ok Google' interface?
Examples:
* Okay Google, Navigate home with Waze (obvious)
* Okay Google, Send alert police with Waze (sends notification)
* Okay Google, Add stop, coffee with Waze (opens the add-stop interface with a search result for 'coffee')
* Okay Google, stop navigating with Waze (stop current navigation)Better touchless controls should be a major priority and the Android voice system is…

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.

A "No good routes found" alert.
Let's you know your drive will be worse than expected, maybe suggest a better time to leave and delay the drive.
For those circumstances when traffic along usual route is much heavier than normal, (for whatever reason). If I know all routes are congested, I may relax and stop trying to out-think Waze and find a better route. Or delay my departure if traffic is forecasted to clear up.

Segnale tra tutor
....sarebbe perfetto se ci fosse come su Tom Tom x esempio un alert se durante i tutor di entrata e uscita la velocità è elevata per eliminare quelle frenate improvvise quando di vede il tutor in uscita.

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets
Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the…1 vote -
Make fully customizable alerts
You guys should make the alerts customizable. For example, I want to get the app to make a sound when I'm approaching a speed camera or something while above the speed limit. Now, if I set the sound as "Alerts" it only makes a sound when there's a speed bump which is useless because there are 6 street signs before every bump! Make a big list of all possible alerts and allow the user to choose what they want to define as alert deserving stuff

Improve road detection while navigating
When navigating along roads that have service/access roads, the navigation will want to enter the freeway/highway/tollway/etc. If the driver stays on the access road or exits onto the access road, Waze does not detect that and keeps the location locked to the planned route. If Waze wants to route you onto a freeway/highway/tollway/etc. and you do not take the on-ramp, the app locks onto the planned route and thinks you are on the highway.
It would be nice if, when there are multiple parallel roads, that the app reduces the distance over which it will snap to a road. Another…

Request Waze make a slight programing change to the on-screen alert display.
Put the "Still There" above the warning message with the "Not There" below it. I sometimes try to touch the correct response and my vehicle moves just a little and I end up touching the wrong response.

The Green line - (Energy/ Gasoline)
The green line- When a Wazer checks optional routes (and also in the preferences/initial destination route) the most energy efficient route shall be marked as the "Green Line".The Wazer should provide Waze with its car model, design, and year so Waze could calculate the energy consumption.There is a difference between the routes because of distance, time, type of ride etc.At the end of the ride the Wazer will be provided with estimated carbon footprint.From Waze perspective - much more data... and from there you can think about many products and ways to monetize it

Schedule - Calendar
a good function is that waze is programmed with the phone's calendar that is synchronized with Gmail account so send alerts according to the state of traffic to achieve compliance with arrival times for example if I have an appointment at 3 : 00 pm that waze alert me 10 minutes apart what time I go to achieve compliance with the time, another example, if income from work at 8:00 am and I have programmed in the list of fixtures the application sends an alert to inform what time I need to leave my house to be on time.

Route Alerts
The shortened route alert should have user specified times. I do not care about saving 3 minutes on a 6 hour drive. There should also be a limited number of times Waze asks for this route. My last trip I ended up just letting Waze reroute me onto a toll road costing money because it wouldn't shut up about the 10 minutes I would save on my 3 hour trip.
There should also be a user settable feature where you can select how much you are willing to pay to save money. If an alternate route is faster but a…
