Please allow users to remove Traffic light camera from the alerts.
I live in a town with many traffic light cameras and it is very annoying that I can't turn off that alert. Please make it so we can turn that off.

Need for voice notifications about fixed speed limits while we get warnings about upcoming radars
Hi. It could be very helpful if Waze could notify us by voice about the speed limit fixed for the given situation while it warns us about upcoming radars. This could tremendously help the drivers to control the speed without being distracted or in cases they did not notice the speed signs. In many countries, the drivers suffer the deficit of speed signs which can be very confusing and results in payments of high fines. Thanks

I would love to have speed limits added to the app. It would help avoid traps. Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't help Without it
I would love to see the speed limit added to the app with an alert letting you know it is about to change! Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't no good if there is a speed cage over a hill and the cop is setting there! There are traps set up like this all over. And this would eleminate small town traps.

Weather on speed limits

Old notifications won't go away
Old notifications wont go away after passing them. Newer notifications won't show because the old is still in the screen. Sometimes the same speed camera alert can be on the screen for miles.

Save Battery by turning off the display when not in use.
Currently when I use waze, my phones display is draining the battery. I have the following suggestion to reduce the battery usage. If you could include this in future release, I am sure everyone will turn on waze even if they don't need navigation assist.
My suggestion
Turn off the display automatically after a certain speed or give the user an option to turn off the display without locking the phone. This will be very helpful to reduce battery usage when you travel familiar routes and long road trips.
Turn on the display automatically when there is a voice command…
19 votesGreat news! The battery saver mode is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

enlarge the size of the speed display on android devices, and change the colours to improve contrast
I find the speed hard to read on my android when mounted to the handlebars on my bike. If the speed was larger, and with better contrast, especially the red on black, that would help a lot

Allow me to define my daily commute route and show a look-ahead summary of any speed traps or accidents for entire route
When I leave to go to or from work, I would just like to see a summary that tells me if there are any speed traps or accidents along the route. Distance to the incident would be a plus, as would an audible alert when I am within a mile or two. I ride a motorcycle so interacting with the waze app while riding is impossible.

Navigation
Hello,
Would it be possible that when navigating, the overview of the route with arrow and all traffic jams and speed cameras etc, this arrow moves dynamically and shows how far away the arrow is from the construction site, speed camera or traffic jam? This works very well with the Sygic app. I think that this feature would help many drivers to get a better overview. Thank you4 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays
Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.
Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.
- Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).
and
- Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)
80 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Traffic Alerts
Give drivers the option to manually enter a traffic incident ( police, speed camera etc) on the map rather than only allowing the them to report an incident on their tracking location. This can allow a driver to go a different direction or go past an incident and still enter an alert accurately for other drivers. Also allow an option for speed camera alone, because it is difficult to differentiate from police or a speed trap.

Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS
An important factor during a car trip is the "Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS".
During a car trip, the MPS changes constantly:
1) from 70 to 50, then to 90, suddenly to 30, then again to 70, 30, 70, 100, 90, 120, etc.
2) The MPS aren't always the same type of traffic signs.
I've noticed that I sometimes miss a traffic sign, and WAZE alerts me, for example, with an audible signal (thanks for that!).
My gaze automatically shifts to my smartphone, which actually distracts me from what's happening or could happen on the road!
That's why I'd like…1 vote -
Adapt routes and ETA to the choice of a user's max speed
More and more of us, for economic or ecological reasons, or simply because our vehicle does not allow us to, self-limit and not drive at more than 100 km/h or 90 km/h, even on the highway.
It would be good if when searching for a route, we could define a Max speed for the vehicle and that the calculation of the different routes takes this into account.
A route on a road limited to 100 km/h, usually abandoned in favor of a route using a highway limited to 130 km/h could even become faster as soon as the driver decides…4 votes -
Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route.
Suggest Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route. (currently: waze does not read or very rarely reads warnings when there is a change in speed limit)
