Limit traffic alerts to same country/smaller area
There's no point in showing alerts from 2000+ km away. Most people are only interested in alerts in their immediate area.
62 votesOn Android, iPhone and next versions of Symbian and WM, you can set a radius for alerts. Go to general settings.

Choose which side info boxes appear when using android auto
Hello!
So, the info boxes that show turns and warning only appears on the left hand side of the screen when using Android Auto. This means I have to glance further to see the actual map / route that I'm taking, which seems less safe, as I am driving on the left.
It would be great to have an option to choose which side to have the actual map and info boxes display, as people are using both right and left sides of the car when driving.
Changing the side in Android Auto settings itself does not affect this.…

Distance / speed based voice guidance directions
It used to be you can select how far from a turn or direction for guidance could be selected. You removed this quite some time ago. There used to be three or so options to choose from.
I believe the distance options were 1400/1200 feet.; 750 feet; & 200 feet or something like this. This would be good because sometimes it takes to long to get the direction or it tells me too late or too far away.
Or maybe make it speed dependent. That way if I slow down it's because I'm close and looking or if I'm going…

Speedometer colors
I’d like to see the ability to change the speedometer numeral and background colors, especially when over the speed limit. Red numerals on a black background are difficult for me to read.

Protest the removal of the police warning feature!
The Sheriff's association is using the tired old excuse that the police warning feature in the Waze app "could be used by terrorists." That is a RIDICULOUS excuse! The truth is that they just don't want us having the ability to warn others about their friggin' speed traps, and they don't want us avoiding tickets! Terrorists my shiny white butt! They use all of their technology against us, and then when we have something to use against them they just don't like it. This feature in Waze is just the next step above radar detectors. Well we got those and…

Change notification buttons from horizontal to vertical so they are side by side. "Still there" on the left and "Not there" on the right.
Change notification buttons from horizontal to vertical so they are side by side. "Still there" on the left and "Not there" on the right.
It is difficult to select the button because to the up and down motion of the car when using Android Auto. Making the "still there" and "not there" side by side would make it easier to select and less likely to accidentally cancel a report.1 vote -

Premium user / tipping users for correctly placed speed traps
It would be nice to give some incentive to users to actually use correctly this app.
What do i mean by that?
- The first and most dangerous obviously it is a speed trap. I would give immediately my half of speeding ticket to users that saved me from that.
- More users would be drawn to the Waze and we could have more information, because there is a reward for being useful
- We could have hotspots, that means, zones where is frequently reported some police activity, even if it isn't reported today, beware it might be something.
I would happily…

Waze has turned my little side street into a FUCKING FREEWAY. How do I get it to stop?
Do not direct traffic down residential side streets. They are ruining quiet communities.

Bearbeitungslimit sperrt Eingaben im WME / Editing limit blocks input in WME
Werden Änderungen über das Limit hinaus erarbeitet, ist dies möglich. Die Limitgrenze verhindert das Abspeichern der Bearbeitungen, sodass alle Änderungen rückgängig gemacht werden müssen. Die ganze Arbeit könnte man sich sparen, wenn WME schon beim Anklicken von Tools eine Meldung herausgeben würde, dass das Limit zum Bearbeiten erreicht ist und keine weiteren Änderungen mehr gespeichert werden können.
If changes are made beyond the limit, this is possible. The limit prevents saving the edits, so all changes must be undone. All this work could be avoided if WME would display a message when clicking on tools, indicating that the…

Audio alerts for speed and red light cameras
My audio alerts for speed and red light cameras stopped working a few months ago. I'm running waze directly on my phone (Google pixel 7) with the latest version of Android OS and waze app installed. My settings for alerts are correct. I see the flashing camera on the map and text alert on the screen but audio alerts are not working. I live in NYC where cameras are on every other block. Constantly monitoring the phone screen for visual alerts while driving is annoying and dangerous. I see lots of similar posts with replies from waze that the issue…

Add Support for Mopeds, Bicycles & Moped Speed Checks (Known as Rollerbanks)
I suggest adding support for mopeds and bicycles as selectable vehicle types in Waze, allowing users to receive more accurate routes tailored to bike lanes and moped-accessible roads. Additionally, introducing a report option for roadside speed checks specific to mopeds (commonly known as "rollerbanks" in some regions) would greatly benefit two-wheeler users by improving route awareness and promoting fair, transparent traffic monitoring.

Save and later upload client data for areas with limited cell and/or Wi-Fi only users.
The amount of data saved currently is insufficient to allow mapping of vast rural areas. Saving this data when storage is available and later uploading will speed the completion of your goals.

Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.
Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually…
