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…

council fines
Have an alert for Council Officers handing out fines (in addition to the current Police ones).
In Brisbane, Australia, Council Officers stand out on the road corners handing out tickets for people stopping (picking people up / dropping people off). It would be AMAZING to have an alert for this!

Would like to see a alert option for MTO enforcement.
Similar on how to report police, would be nice to be able to report mto commercial vehicle enforcement. Also would be nice to be able for the reporting wazer to be able to move reporting postion, often it ends up not being accurate.

When you report a red light camera it should cover the area of the camera not just one side
When you report a red light camera it should cover the area of the camera not just one side. When you get close to that area you will get a alert no matter what side you are on.

Expand the Construction Warning
Expand the "Construction" tab to include multiple options to accurately warn drivers. For example:
- Flag Person
- Temporary Signal
- Left/Right/Center Lane Closed
- Lane Shift/Detour
- Pavement Ends
The biggest one for me is the lane closures, because I want to know which lane is blocked/closed ahead before I get to the situation. Just marking "construction" offers me no insight and just keeps me on high alert.

waze society
During navigation, have options to alert on the map about demands of cities, holes, public lighting off, garbage, water leak. etc. The public bodies will have access to the demands reported by the people.

Adjust the font size on Apple Carplay when viewing the suggested routes
The font is too big on the suggested routes page on Apple Carplay meaning that it's not possible to see the journey time and distance for each of the suggested routes. The text is truncated. I have to unplug my phone from the car to see the full route information.
Please reformat the text on the suggested routes page on Carplay so the information is not truncated.5 votes -
Discretionary right turns
Suggest identifying discretionary right turns and adding a voice alert when drivers are approaching these junctions in Singapore. This could potentially act as a notice and/or reminder, and reduce accident rates at these junctions as drivers may not be aware/alert to these, especially if they are taking an unfamiliar route.

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…

"landscape" phone holder
Currently my phone holder is in "landscape" position. The problem is that the 3D (or birdview) paramertes are same with the portrait position, so the area front of the car is smaller ( I can see only few km forward)
If I navigate and I get a warning (eg. traffipax) half of the screen is covered... so my "foresight" is more reduced
I have 2 suggestions:
- "adjustable" (or auto) birdview-sight angle/height: if there are 20km "foresight" in portrait position, let the same distance in landscape position
- navigation and warning "bars" let the same size in every position... and…12 votes -
Improving on route and more functions.
I been using waze daily for work as uber driver. There is time can be annoying when waze divert me to another route which is less traffic and mileage is far than origin route. This may cause additional cost on the fare and some riders may not feel comfortable if any route change. My suggestion to waze is have a option for waze as below:-
1) Option to ignore traffic jams so we can maintain current route without any diversion to other route. Let waze user to choose to stuck in traffic or find alternative route. :)
2) Option to…

Speed limits ahead
How about an Info of speed limits ahead on cirrent road.
Why?
If you travel over Land, you are usually allowed to do 100kmh. At intersections, small villages etc. the speed Limit is usually reduced to 70kmh. If there could be some kind of Information with a speed Limit ahead, about 300 to 500m ahead you could just take you foot of the Gas an let the car roll to safe energy. I Do it regularly on known Routers, if traffic allows it (no one behind me how might be annoyed). With this Methode I m able to have 1…10 votes -
LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.
A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).
This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.

Ideas
Hi,
I love the app use it almost every day!
I have several ideas to improve the Waze app.
• Bring back the police and on road icons, this enables us to see relative distance to reporting
• Allow mobile and directional reporting of police
• Allow inside or outside lane reporting of hazards
• Post reports of police both directions as we have officers who wait in median
• Allow directions to closest officer for emergency use.
• Allow return to normal speed after clearing of congested roadways
• Update routes when roads become congested (immediately without searching alternate…5 votes -
Don't Record Client Tracks within Origin/Dest Zone
As a new wazer and getting into editing I noticed several "map problems" and new roads caused by entering/exiting parking lot or building structures.
Current work around is to add Parking POIs or add the parking lot roads as road type parking.
I believe this could be alleviated by simply not having Waze client record or "count" the GPS track within a set distance from Origin (time device first plugged in or new navigation started) and Destination (device turned off or navigation stopped)
I would recommend a distance of about 100 yards.
This should help cut down on the extra…

Alerte spéciale pour un véhicule qui circule en sens inverse
Bonjour,
Je voudrai proposer un bouton d'alerte pour prévenir que l'on vient de croiser un véhicule roulant dans le sens inverse.
C'est ce qui m'est arrivé sur une utouroute française, et j'aurai vraiment aimé avoir plus de solution pour prévenir les autres wazers de ce véhicule au comportement dangereux.
Cordialement

Add rest areas on interstates
Add listing for rest areas along the interstate. Provide mile marker locations where available. As you ride WAZE will alert a driver to an upcoming rest area much like it would advise of a car on the side of the road.

Option to toggle turn on/off fade music on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn
I use my phone (Android) as a Media Center on my car, it controls the audio and video on it. I play music using it, and the fade function is nice, but I like to use the waze with cellphone soundspeaker's instead of BT and, even so, my music through BT have this terrible fade-off on alerts/notifications/Turn-by-Turn speak.
Please, consider an option to disble that, so we have a choise to use or not the fade-of on music.
Thanks!
