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.

Assigning a custom voice to alerts
Could it be possible to assign a custom voice to an alert? E.g. to assign a short police car siren to a police alert, or to upload another own voice to a another alert?
Thanks for considering that option.6 votes -

Let ignore users who spam a lot of fake alert
Let's block people who usually take signs with fake alerts. I wish a personal, editable black list to collect bad guys and avoid me from their fake alerts. Thanks!

Mph and metres for directions.
It’s very simple. Two toggle options. To change the speed unit to mph for the speed limit but be able to keep the directions in metres for those shorter turnings and directions in town. In England we use mph and how many miles to but after that we commonly talk about metres. So I am asking for another option so that people can customise the speed limit alerts and the distance to alerts.

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.

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

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 -
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.

Feed back Thank you for the speed limit!!
My biggest issue with Waze vs other GPS devices/apps was the lack of speed limit. Thank you for finally adding it!! Way to go Waze. Great app, saved me from tickets and getting stuck in traffic in multiple occasions.

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.

Add a “Kangaroo Alert” option for Australian roads
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 temporary 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…

prevent fake police control alert by comparing standstill postion of the wazer and a police control
Some police agent use waze account to create fake alerts randomly or to say "control not here anymore" when they are doing control. These wazers can be identified by the system simply.
If a police agent uses waze, his location is tracked by the server. If a police agent is using waze while doing a control, his position will be standstill until a normal wazer spot him. So there will be an alert at the place the police control is located. The waze server can record these habits and conclude the user is a cop and limit his actions.4 votes -
Weather on speed limits
Could be great if the speeds limits would be adapted to the actual weather situtation of the drive.

User Interface - Alert Visibility
My eyesight is not as great as it once was, so the prompts for alerts to indicate if a hazard or alert is still present is a bit difficult to see. I would suggest it be enlarged to occupy most of the screen with a slightly transparent background. The bottom half of the screen could be green for a “Not There” button and the top half of the screen be yellow for “Hazard Still Present”. With the enlarged notification it should increase driver safety and engagement as well since it would be easier to read and more prominent.

Shorter Alert Sounds
I often listen to podcasts while driving but get frustrated when the Waze alerts are long and tend to block the audio of the podcasts. Could we get a custom voice that says simply "Traffic" instead of "Heavy Traffic Reported Ahead", etc.
