1. use speed limits to cap estimated time to destination

   It seems to me that Waze uses the average speed of traffic to estimate the time to the destination of the route selected. However, this is not very useful to me if the average speed of traffic is greater than the legal speed limit. While I may be okay with exceeding the speed limit under certain conditions, I almost always prefer to know how long it will take me to get somewhere if I drive at most the legal limit. From there, I can make my own decision as to what route to take or how fast to drive.

   The problem is that often times, the app will tell me it will only take a certain amount of time to get to a destination, but it won't tell me that it is assuming that I will have to exceed the speed limit to get there in that time. And sometimes, the amount it estimates it will exceed the speed limit by what seems to be about 10-15 mph, which is already plenty fast enough to be pulled over by a cop, and some days, I just don't want to have to deal with that risk.

   It doesn't have to be the only way Waze calculates the estimated time to destination, but I would like it to be at least an option I can select in the menus.

2. Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.

   Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
   Message:
   I am writing to provide feedback regarding the recent change to the pop-up warning banners for speed and red light cameras. These alerts were previously Red but have recently changed to a dark gray/black color in Night/Dark mode.
   I strongly urge you to revert these alerts back to Red for the following safety reasons based on driving psychology and neuroscience:
   Visual Saliency (The "Pop-Out" Effect): Studies show that the human brain has a "Saliency Map" that scans for high-priority colors. Red triggers stronger gamma-band oscillations in the visual cortex than any other color, making it the most effective color for alerting a driver who is focused on the road.
   Exogenous Attentional Capture: While driving, my primary focus (central vision) is on the road. A dark-colored banner blends into the interface. A Red banner, however, utilizes peripheral awareness to "capture" attention automatically. This allows the brain to recognize a hazard or alert without the driver needing to take their eyes off the road to "search" for the information.
   Night Vision Safety: In dark mode, low-contrast dark banners are easily missed. Red is universally recognized as a "stop" or "danger" signal and provides the necessary contrast to ensure the driver is alerted instantly.
   Restoring the red color will improve response times and overall driver safety. Thank you for considering this research-backed improvement.

4. Stop hiding the direction when displaying an alert

   When displaying an alert, it's very inconvenient and dangerous to suddenly have the directions hidden by the notification especially on the interchange.
   I randomly chick on not there anymore just to choose the right. At that moment I need clear instructions and both hands on the wheels !

5. Hi team you guys doing great job. Is there any chance you separate the speedometer and speed limit

   Hi team you guys doing great job. Is there any chance you separate the speedometer and speed limit option
   I believe most of the users don't want speedometer sometimes we miss the speed limit sign so it's better to have just speed limit option separate

6. Apple Carplay alert notification format

   Regarding Apple Carplay, the notifications for cops, hazards, etc is set up that the "Thanks & Not There" are over & under each other. I feel they should be side to side instead. 1st its already risky to take eyes off the road to press on the alert but as the car is in motion and roads flow naturally in an up & down motion, It's pretty easy to confirm the wrong answer. If they were side by side, It completely reduces the clicking of the wrong answer.

7. ambulance alert by location

   With increased distractions in traffic, whether due to high driver concentration or the use of loud music, the approach of an ambulance responding to an emergency often goes unnoticed. In light of this, it would be extremely useful if Waze offered a feature capable of alerting drivers to the passage of an ambulance on a rescue mission. The proposal consists of a visually striking, flashing, full-screen alert that would only disappear after user confirmation via a button. This alert would be triggered by the ambulance crew themselves, through a specific and differentiated login, allowing the notification to be sent to vehicles ahead, on the same road and in the same direction of travel. This functionality would significantly contribute to opening up passage in locations where there are no dedicated emergency lanes or where, due to a lack of traffic education, drivers do not react appropriately to the approach of emergency vehicles — a common reality in many countries. In addition to saving time, this measure has the direct potential to save lives.

8. Suggestion to improve accuracy of speed camera reports

   I would like to share a suggestion regarding the reporting of speed cameras in the Waze app.

   Recently, I have noticed an increasing number of false speed camera reports along certain routes (for example, on the B469 near Aschaffenburg, Germany). In some cases, users appear to report multiple cameras along an entire stretch of road where none are present. This can be confusing for drivers and may reduce trust in the reliability of the reporting system.

   To address this, I would like to propose a potential improvement: introducing a system that evaluates the accuracy of user reports over time. For example, if a user consistently submits reports that are later marked as incorrect by a significant majority of other users, their ability to report speed cameras could be temporarily limited, or their reports could carry less weight.

   Such a system might help reduce misuse while still encouraging accurate contributions from the community.

   I understand that there are challenges in verifying real-time data, especially with mobile speed cameras, but I believe a balanced approach could improve overall reliability.

   Thank you for your continued work on Waze and for considering this suggestion.

10. Alerts

    Can you change the alerts so that cameras are warned at any speed nit just when at speed limit or above. Many times I've approached under the speed limit, had no audible warning then my speeds increased as I've got closer

11. Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped

    If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!

13. 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 to venture a suggestion for what I consider a minor change to the "Navigation Screen" of the trip.
    With the aim of:
    "Significantly increasing road user safety!!"
    Proposal:
    At the bottom left of the navigation screen:
    1) the MPS will be displayed in a small "red/white circular" traffic sign;
    2) and just below that, the "Current Speed (CS)" in a larger "black circle."
    ======>>>> My proposal is to reverse the size of the circles for both indicators.
    In other words, the MPS circle, the most important indicator,
    will be larger and more readable than the CS circle.
    Especially in the dark!
    Moreover, the CS is less important; we also read it on the car's dashboard.
    The CS is normally lower than the MPS, otherwise WAZE will display a large MPS warning pop-up and/or an audible signal.

14. 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.

15. Button to constantly beep if I'm always over the speed limit. Button in same speed zone to beep when over then under and over again.

    You have it set up so that I can press a button and have a sound happen if I go over the speed limit by whatever miles per hour I like which I like. The problem is once I go over that speed limit range in that zone (Zone = same street without a speed limit change). If I go under and then go back over it, it does not beep again. So I don't know if I'm going over the speed limit. Can you please put a request for improvement and put more buttons there that will make it so that it'll constantly beep if I'm always over the speed limit.

    And another button if I go under the speed limit in the same speed limit zone that it will beep again if I go over again.

    I'd like more selection because different people have different preferences.

    This can potentially save people from having tickets, save injuries, save many lives and save property damage. Including how is reading this with other drivers on the road.

    To Waze, Please copy and paste this whole thing for context for a request for improvement.

19. Change colour of car on “Vehicle on Shoulder” alert icon

    When submitting a report and looking at the possible report types while driving. From the corner of one’s eye the “Vehicle on shoulder” alert icon and “Object” icons are very similar.

    I suggest the colour of the vehicle in the “vehicle on shoulder” icon be changed to a different distinct colour that also accounts for colourblind people.

    If the vehicle was blue or green for example it would be easier to quickly tell the icons apart. Otherwise I feel like I need to distract myself from driving to double check the description next to the icons before confirming the report.

20. 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.
