Please remove the daily limit on alerts.
Daily limit on map alerts for police and vehicles on shoulder is WAY too low. Please raise the limit. On a long trip of 600 miles i passed through major cities and the amount of alerts goes up of course. This limit should be related to the WAZE score for the user. The higher the points, the more alerts per day you can send.

Android auto interface
When an app sends coordinates to Waze, the phone displays a message to view the map on the car's screen. This message appears on top of the original app on the phone, requiring me to switch back. As an Uber driver, this happens over 20 times per day. I have NOT given Waze the "On top" permission, so it should not appear on top. Switching apps while driving is not only inconvenient, but dangerous due to the distraction caused.

Show turn notifications on phone even when Waze is active in Android Auto
When using Waze via Android Auto I receive helpful turn notifications (e.g. “Turn left in 200 meters”) as notifications on my smartphone only when Waze is minimized (e.g. while Spotify is in focus).
Howeve when Waze is active on the car screen these notifications do not appear on the phone.It would be very useful if those notifications could appear on the phone at all times via an option, i would find this very usefull

Police Speed Check instead of Police
80% of my “Police” alerts that pop up are for people that have been pulled over, which is technically “Vehicle on Shoulder”. I end up reporting “not there” and then change it to Vehicle on Shoulder. I suggest changing Police and Police (Hidden) to Police Speed Check. This will eliminate the confusion of a speed check vs a car on the shoulder.

Including the allowed speed in the vocal warning for speed camera's or trajectory control woud be a great feature.
Also a bigger actual speed and allowed speed indicator, one at the left and the other one at the right bottom of the screen woud increase usability.

Add compass rose and time to turn features from Garmin to Android Auto/Carplay
Right now you can't see the compass rose which I use all the time on my Garmin to know which direction I am headed. It works on the phone app but not Android Auto.
Garmin also has a really nice time to turn feature that gives you an approximate time to your next turn. I find myself missing exits with waze as its easier to think in seconds than "1000 feet"

On wp8 please make the text of the current speed a little bigger.
You can do this by removing the km/u text and/or increasing the circle.
Because I use navigation a lot, I'm used to look at my phone for the current speed in stead of my dashboard.

Predictive Coasting Speed Alert / Vorausschauende Roll-Geschwindigkeitswarnung
I suggest adding a predictive driving option to Waze that helps drivers adjust their speed more smoothly before reaching reduced speed zones.
Currently, Waze shows the reduced speed limit exactly when you reach the zone, which often forces drivers to brake actively. My proposal is that Waze should calculate the optimal point at which I should release the accelerator, allowing the car to coast into the reduced speed limit without using the brakes.
The system should display an alert such as “Reduce speed to 50 km/h in 300 m” at the right moment for coasting.Additionally, the app could optionally collect…1 vote -
Traffic incidents, Speed traps Police Trap
Dear S/M
Im a very keen Waze user, the only suggestion I would like to make is regarding announcements of speed and police traps or other traffic incidents. These according to my driving experience using Waze should be made not only once or little bit earlier but also at least three times (for ex. 1x1000m 2x500m 3x200m) before arriving at the certain point.
Especially the ones reported by the other Waze users, because oftenly for example when I see something to report, it takes other 200-300 meters until I take the phone in my hand and finally push the reporting…7 votes -
More options for changing distance units
Having the map directions/ETA distance units option as well as the speed limit option. For example, the map directions/ETA in kms and then showing the speed limit in miles.
This would be useful for someone driving out of country to be aware of the speed limit while maintaining their preferred units for the directions.
I am a Canadian living in the US therefore am driving in miles/speed limit is in miles but I have a better sense of distance in kms.8 votes -
Add a general route view to Waze in Android Automotive (AAOS) in cars with two screens available (similar to Google Maps for Android Auto)
Add the possibility to see the general route view in the main car screen, while having the navigation route view in the screen behind the steering wheel. In this way, it is possible to make use of the two screens in the cars - one showing the navigation, the other showing the overall route (as it is available on Google maps for Android Auto). Thanks

RADARS:
When a radar has different speeds depending on traffic or pollution, and has not a fix speed limit but changes, then it would be useful that user may load the speed, so all users would be advised about real limit each time, just for the ones that has different speeds. For the other it would be useful to infrom about speed limit.

Graph of speed throughout a journey
Would be very useful to access a graph of speed driven throughout a journey, once you've finished the trip.
There could be a section in the menu which allows the user to see previous journeys undertaken, along with a graph of the speed throughout the trip.
Would be useful for evidence, or to monitor and compare different routes.1 vote -
Speed Bump Reporting Feature
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding an option for users to report speed bumps within the hazard reporting feature.
In many areas, speed bumps are not clearly marked or are placed unexpectedly, which can lead to sudden braking and potential safety risks, especially for drivers who are unfamiliar with the route.
By allowing users to flag speed bumps, Waze could help improve driver awareness, reduce unexpected slowdowns, and contribute to a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
