Custom distance alert selection
I'd like to request a feature that lets users customize which distance-based voice alerts play during navigation.
Currently, Waze announces upcoming turns at multiple fixed intervals (e.g., 0.6 miles, 0.5 miles, 0.25 miles, 0.1 miles, and "now"). For drivers who don't need that many reminders, this can feel repetitive and add unnecessary noise to the drive.
It would be great to have the option to select only the specific alert distances we want — for example, just a half-mile warning and a tenth-of-a-mile warning, plus the final turn alert — rather than being locked into all the preset intervals.

Police alerts
My request is that you create another alert option which is police alerts alone. That is, the options should be: sound on, alerts, police only alerts, and no alerts. For me, the only real alert that I care about is if there are police or speed cameras.
When I use your app, I typically silence alerts because I don't want to hear about cars stopped on the side of the road and approaching railways, etc. I understand that's important to some people, but for me it just interrupts my music/podcast.

Add road expected speed to the Waze speedometer
Add road expected speed like how Google maps has, to the Waze Speedometer. That will help a lot.

200 meter alert
Waze is great, but the turn announcements aren't as good as my 2006 Garmin Nuvi. They tend to be at 5 minutes, 1 mile, and right now! Several times, I have let my guard down and been in the wrong lane and unable to turn at the "turn right" cue immediately before an exit. A time/speed/distance based "turn coming" reminder at about 200 meters would be very helpful.

Speedo meter, cam alerts,
The speedometer on the map plus the road speed limit is below on the phone. Speed cam alerts are show in the below part of the screen. While riding a motorcycle (superbike) i have to literally look down to see the speed taking my eyes off the road. This is dangerous. Please place speedo meter with speed limit indication on the top of screen or give an option like a layout to choose from. The font also needs to be big in size as at high speed it becomes tough to see limits of road and the…

Kangaroo Alert Feature for Australian Waze Users
I’d love to suggest adding a new alert option for kangaroo sightings near roads. In Australia, kangaroos are a significant cause of vehicle collisions, especially around dawn and dusk. It would be incredibly helpful if drivers could mark kangaroo sightings or active areas on the Waze map, just as they can mark hazards or police alerts.
This could appear as a small kangaroo icon, notifying nearby drivers to slow down or stay alert. It would improve safety for both drivers and wildlife, helping reduce collisions, injuries, and road damage.
Since Waze already supports user-reported hazards, this would fit…

Pause audiobooks during Waze alerts
I listen to a lot of audiobooks (via Overdrive app) while using Waze to navigate, when I get a Waze alert or prompt though Waze will talk over the audiobook rather than pause/resume it. It's very annoying and I often miss what the narrator is saying and have to back it up. I wish the audiobook could be paused while the Waze alert is given and then pick right back up again afterwards.

Please make the speed icon in the lower left corner larger with better contrasting colours. I find it difficult to read.

In NYC, when a speed and/or red light camera.
In NYC, when a speed and/or red light camera is seen that isn't on the map, you should be able to report it. Can that be accomplished?

Bring back "wrong speed limit" report
I'm using Apple CarPlay if that changes anything.
Some years ago, I could report "wrong speed limit". Now there is no report button like this and it causes the entire reporting worflow much longer: I report a general issue, then someone finds it, asks me what the issue is about (and I don't always remember if it was about the limit), and then I reply and they fix it. It could be just 1 click and then someone fixes it - much faster!

Is there a possibility that the new design could be reviewed so that the speed camera warning doesn't obstruct the number of our speed?
Is there a possibility that the new design could be reviewed so that the speed camera warning doesn't obstruct the number of our speed? I think there's a UX design flaw regarding that.

Hazard Alert - Animal on Road
Could there please be some sort of function within Waze that could give the user the opportunity to report deceased animals along the road so that the competent entities could come and collect them? Or even for pets that were just run down for a vet to come or something? Could it be connected to automatically give the competent entities the location of the animal? It’s a win-win for everyone and it keeps our road safe. Also, for objects on the road, while I’m not sure what entity would be responsible for removing them, somehow also connect to the responsible…
