Receive warnings from the Waze app even though there's no specific navigation has been started
Waze app should provide warnings even though there's no specific navigation has been stared. One use case is driving in the hometown where no navigation is needed but warnings desired (e.g for the speed cameras)

Variable distance until off-ramp
When on a 4, 5, or 6 lane highway, traveling at highway speeds in the left lane, in moderate or congested traffic in the left lane, I really need more than 1 mile notice of an offramp. So it'd be nice if either (a) the distance to a turn was related to speed (e.g., at 25 miles an hour, a mile notice is good, but at 65 miles an hour a three mile notice would be better) AND/OR (b) users having the ability to set the distance that they want turn-notices to be announced.

Allow us to add or remove speed cameras
We should be allowed to add speeding cameras. I live in DC and the mayor adds and move cameras constantly. it’s new cameras everywhere and they aren’t on Waze. It’s no option to add them. So it doesn’t help me if I see a camera and I cannot warn others of a camera that has been added. That should be changed. We can add traffic and other hazards why not cameras too.

Add option to display SpeedTraps on main screen without having to use menu.
Add in the settings an option to display "Speed Trap" info on main screen. This would display in either the title bar or on the main screen and would have an icon with two numbers: A red number that indicates the # of speedtraps on your route, and a Yellow number that indicates the # of speedtraps not on the route. This would be very useful because speedtraps move (police pull someone over and then sit in new spot), so it helps to have more advanced notice that police are in the area.

Route Preview Option
You select a route, then press the "Route Preview" button. Map view will then zoom to your current location and travel down the selected route as if you were driving. The map pans down the route so that you can see all the things you will be dealing with along the way without having to scroll around the map with your finger. Adding a "preview speed (1x, 2x, 3x, etc)" and a "pause preview" option would be a great addition to this.

Add Victoria, Australia Data APIs
The Victorian Government In Australia offers a number of Data API's that would be highly useful to have integrated into the Waze App
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/ which would allow an added depth of information to be added to the map, such as current road speed limit vs actual.
routing around known road events, such as road works or road closures etc...Specifically things like:
"Road Works and Events Points Snapshot"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/road-works-and-events-points-snapshot"Speed Sign Data"
https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/speed-sign-data"Emergency Road Closure Lines Snapshot"

Urgent hint to improve waze fast and easy and get many new users!
How? Speed camera alert (warning) is one of the best and attractive reasons to use waze especially for new users, that have already integrated or portable navigation systems. Mobile (!) Speed traps (cameras, but also radar guns etc.) are the traps, users have the most fear of. But most existing users of waze, who wants to report a mobile (!) speed trap mix up the confusing camera icon with the police (officer) icon, especially in the german version, where the camera icon is named "Blitzer" (means: "flash"). They report mobile speed traps (in german also named as blitzer; there is…

Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays
Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.
Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.
- Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).
and
- Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)
80 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Parking zone layer
You know the difficulties of finding a parking spot around your destination. Especially when you want to find the cheapest and not too restricted spot around your location.
I think it would be a great idea if there is a layer where you can draw parking zones. In each zone you can add a schedule wherein you can add parking time restrictions, vehicle restrictions, period when parking is free, cost per set time interval and maximum cost (for each day) and times when you're not allowed to park at all.
With that information the waze app could be made able…23 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…281 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Enforcement trailer
Germany and parts of Europe experience a whole new kind of speed cameras since a year or so, the so-called "enforcement trailers".
Since two months these are used on the german Autobahn on a regular basis.
The trailers are moved from place to place and stay there for up to two weeks. The places are used recurrent, e.g. there are 40 places in North Rhine Westfalia and 10 trailers, every place get's a trailer once in a while.Marking them as mobile speed camera is useless, since they always disappear because of the low waze usage in germany.
Marking them…5 votes -
Police Notification Radius
When approaching a Police trap, I love the ability to be able to say if they are still there or not. Would like the ability to select if they are there or not for half of a mile or so after passing the original location. In my area, sometimes police will pull someone over, travel up the road a little, and resume their speed monitoring duties.
