Alert popup windows disable feature
In android auto the alert popup windows cover vital informations (time to reach destination, lanes to pick on the upcoming crossroad). Recently, the amount of these popup alerts increased so, that they are there almost all the time. There is the option to disable alerts completely, but the alerts are what separates waze from other navigation apps, so not really a good option.
My sugestion is to include the option to disable just the popup windows while leaving the voice notification for the alerts on.
Thank you.

Option to see historical police presence/speed traps.
Option to see historical police presence/speed traps. If the area is frequented with reports then label it as a historical hot spot. This way we can drive cautiously in those locations.

SpeedCameras (max speed, time to flash on SpeedCamera, SpeedCamera notify without destination)
Max Speed on the SpeedCamera:
- Where you show the Max Speed we need to go, maybe you can show we can go higher than the max speed as there is no speed camera.Time to Flash on Speed Camera:
- It shows close to accurate of how far the speedcamera can see you, maybe an outline of a red circle if your in that small circle don’t pass your max speed.
- Maybe show lets say the road is max 20 you can go max 22 or 23 and you won’t be flashed.

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

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…1 vote -
police alert when they take pictures from a bridge
In my country we have police officers standing on bridges and take photos of ppl on their phones while driving.
An option to report and alert other drivers will make the driver stop being on their phone faster.2 votes -
Speed trap notification on apple car play
It happened many times in for vehicles that two notifications of speed traps overlap each other blocking severe information of the app.
The only solution is to close the app and re-open it but soon it happens again, really annoying and makes the app impossible to use.

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.4 votes -

Control how much time an alert appears before the event.
It will be great to have an option to control how much time before an event, it would alert us.
When you are at a highway, the alert appears 2 or 3 seconds before the event.
I think we should choose between 2 seconds and 30 seconds before events.1 vote -
Quit Calling my Camera Enforced School Zone a "SPEED TRAP"
Now Waze calls my Camera Enforced School Zone a "SPEED TRAP". If this is not changed immediately I will take Legal Action against WAZE. I am the Chief of Police in Fairmount, GA our Cameras are for a School Zone active only while children are on campus. We don't want the Negativity by you calling it a Speed Trap.

Show “Last verified” versus minutes passed since alert was posted
Instead of showing how long ago an alert was posted, it would be more helpful to show other Wazers when it was last verified. If someone sends a “police” notification, it would be more beneficial to see the police officer was verified 5 seconds ago versus seeing that it was posted 25 minutes ago.

Weather on speed limits
Could be great if the speeds limits would be adapted to the actual weather situtation of the drive.

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)

red light camera alerts less frequent
I have two red light cameras on my commute. They appear the same way as alerts for police or accidents >>with a request to confirm it<<....every single day.
For alerts that seldom change, I suggest an alert without the confirmation request. Or perhaps request to confirm it once/month.24 votesThank you for your suggestion!
We are planning to implement this idea.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
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…

Parking Meter Risk alert
Use crowdsourced data on where and when people see meter maids or get parking tickets so users know the risk of not paying a meter at that time and place. For example if you need to stop into a place for 20 minutes or less, and the risk of ticket is low, you feel better not paying the meter.
