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.

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.

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…

Option to turn off alerts for road construction
I can choose to toggle Road Constructions on or off for "Display On Map."
I would like to be able to toggle off alerts for Road Constructions, specifically, under "Alerts on Route."
Driving in Minnesota in the summer, it is a given that there will be road construction everywhere. It's nice to be able to see it on the map, and have the app use the information in its routing calculations, but I don't need an alert to tell me that it is there. It interrupts whatever else I am listening to, and it is not necessary…

For police cameras alerts
This is very important, since it occured many times. You have to give option in police camera alerts, to choose at which distance to announce alert. Sometimes it announces very near to the police camera. Give options for example 2km, 1km, 500m etc. so drivers can choose. Also give another option to choose, in same area if settings, that will alert or not, on each specified distance (2km, 1km, 500m etc). Give another option to give continuous alert for speed cameras (instead of alerting on each of above distances), with intervals every 1second, 2 seconds......5 seconds. Also…

Speed and red light cameras and other cameras
Is it possible if waze said for speed and red light cameras and other cameras to say where any camera is in 1 mile not in 0.2 miles because that way people would get a heads up and not panic and not slam on the brakes cause that can be dangerous

Allow User to Disable Alert for Roadworks
There is currently only an option to "Show on Map" for roadworks.
This also generates the full visual and audio alert which comes on top of everything else.
The only way to stop it is to disable roadworks altogether.
Please add option to choose to have the roadworks on the map, but to not be alerted1 vote -
Spotify
Spotify button disappears when any alert comes up to the top screen. In many times, we cannot access the Spotify button, cause there are lots os sequential alerts that do not allow the button to be showed.
In my work-home-work route, there are speed sensors each 400-500m and one alert appears over the last one.
Button should be on the navigation screen or permanently on any other place on the screen.1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

Caution: Unusual activity reported nearby. Slow down and drive with care.”
I’d like to propose a community-reported Safety Alert for situations where unusual or unclear activity near the roadway creates uncertainty and potential risk, even when the cause is not clearly visible or identifiable.
In these moments, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue, leading to panic braking, sudden U-turns, or drivers unknowingly entering unstable areas.
Examples include:
Sudden crowd activity blocking streets
Chaotic traffic behavior with no clear incident
Loud or alarming sounds affecting driver focus
Unstable situations where drivers begin stopping or turning around abruptly
In these cases, uncertainty itself becomes a road safety issue.
Proposed alert
Name: Safety …

Slowpoke Driver
Include under the Hazard option "Slowpoke Driver in Speed/Passing Lane Traveling Under 60 mph" to alert other drivers like me who find this a daily nuisance as it adds to the traffic problem driving in Los Angeles freeways

Consecutive alerts within a short distance
At the moment, the Waze app provides alerts (such as hazard reports or speed/red light camera) approximately 400-500m away from the location. After driving past the report or camera, Waze doesn't check if there are any further alerts in the next 400-500m and as such, drivers miss out on this information.
An example is at the first traffic light, there is a red light camera, however after turning, the next traffic light (assuming it is relatively close/within 500m) also has a red light camera. Drivers currently only receive one alert for the first red light camera but…

Cancel, or mute an alert.
Is there any way to shut off the alert, "Watch out!, vehicle parked on shoulder ahead"? Or at least mute the audio portion? It is quite loud and annoying!

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

"alerts only" mode should include rerouting notifications
Currently, there are 3 sound modes, which is great. "On", "Off" and "Alerts Only". I use "On", when I've never been there before and "Alerts Only" during my daily commute. I love the Alerts Only mode for a daily commute. Problem is, sometimes Waze sees an issue ahead during my commute and only makes a screen notification. I'd really want to be alerted about that.
So I'd like "Alerts Only" to consider a rerouting notification as an alert and not 'normal' navigation instructions.

tollbooth, speed limit and precise location.
Add tollbooth to settings under alerts and report to be able to toggle on/off.
Option to use speed limit feature without speedometer.
Location is not precise. When making a turn the location updates after making the whole turn instead of following precise location while turning like other apps. Also, many times the map will show you at another location and it would start jumping locations like crazy.
Please take this suggestions under consideration. Waze is already the drivers' preferred app, don't let us have to deal with things like this that just make our experience uncomfortable and many…
