Give option to make mph color yellow from 1 to 10 mph over the speed limit then change to red.
This would let people that don’t have on their reading glasses know how fast they are going without exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 mph. Nevin Byrd

Enhancing Waze: Traffic Mode vs. Navigation Mode
Problem: When using Waze primarily for traffic and alert monitoring (rather than navigation), essential information like the compass, speed limit, and alert icons doesn’t appear unless a specific destination is set. (I am using ipadOS 17.4)
Suggested Improvement:
Introduce a new option in “Settings: General” called “Default Driving Mode.”
Users can choose between:
Traffic Mode: Starts Waze in full-screen map mode without the “Where to?” prompt. Provides standard map elements and access to submit/receive alerts.
Navigation Mode: Retains the current default map with the persistent “Where to?” prompt.
Consider adding a button on the map display to toggle between…3 votes -
O Waze deviria avisar todos os locais de radares, indepenente da Speed.
Bom dia,
Moro no brasil, na cidade de São Paulo e uso muito o Waze.
Aqui em São Paulo há muitos radares de velocidade e as multas são muito frequentes.
Minha sugestão:
Gostaria que o Waze me avisasse sempre que tivesse um radar, independente da minha velocidade. Desta maneira tenho a possibilidade de ir memorizando os locais e assim evitar multas.
Este problema de multa por velocidade em São Paulo, é muito grande e se o Waze pudesse incrementar, melhorar os avisos e alertas, iria nos ajudar muito.Obrigado,
Fernando Pimentel

In australia, average speed zones are shown in some states (Queensland), and not others (New South Wales). Why?
In Australia, average speed zones are shown as a progressive bar on the left hand side of the screen in some states (Queensland), but not in other states (New South Wales). Why?

"Turn Warning Alert" Sounds in Magellan Roadmate GPS in WAZE? : D
Magellan GPS devices, such as the RoadMate series, offer an audible alert feature to indicate upcoming turns, known as “Turn Warning Alert.” This function allows you to select different sounds for turn alerts.
The most commonly used sound is “Turn Bell” which when completing an indication, a turn or following a junction makes an audible indication.
I never got this important feature on any GPS device or App again. I ask the community, would it be possible to somehow add the option to Waze?
I have the sound but i am a new user, i can´t upload it.…

Screen space landscape
The landscape view of the map has too many things on screen. The black navigation pane covers the speed limit and the speed camera alert also covers most of the screen. I am using larger font sizing as my eyes aren't great and the scaling makes this situation even worse.
Can the screen space be arranged so items don't cover each other in landscape.
Maybe a new set of icons/thin banner on the "side" instead of going along the whole "bottom" of the screen when in landscape.
Also Samsung phone has polarised screen to help viewing in sunlight but with…

Speedometer size and location
On my 9 inch car android, speedometer is barely visible.
1. The size should be adjustable.
2. The colors should be adjustable.
3. The position should be moveable.
4. Beeping sound and duration should be customizable.
5. Speed limit should blink after certain speed limit37 votes -
Can we please get speed limit data added to route previews? This is helpful for bike riders and motorcyclists. Seems like an easy add.
Speed limit data should be visible on the route map and preview. I am not referring to real time while driving speed limit (this exists and works great) rather when doing trip planning. For those of us with motorcycles or bikes we want to see the speed limit for a route.

airborn police
In addition to an alert for police vehicles that are mobile - it would be nice for some kind of an alert for airborn police. I was traveling a week ago and spotted what was most likely an police airplane but there was no useful way to report it.

alerts without scrolling
The alert system is great, but when you're driving it would be easier to see all buttons on the same screen, with no need for scrolling. When you need to scroll the list to see all icons it makes you lose attention to the road.
Would it be too difficult to add all kind of alerts on the same window?6 votes -
Accident Alert
Waze provides alternate routes when approaching an accident which is really helpful. My suggestion is that WAZE “announce”…. ACCIDENT AHEAD, ALTERNATE ROUTE PROVIDED”….this allows us to know why the alternate is being provided. Sometimes we are on the road for long times and get tired. Thank yo.

No alerting caps
Waze does not alert at all reported fixed phone / police cameras because of caps on alerts on regularly travelled roads exposing drivers who forget about cameras to fines. This is confirmed by by WAZE's team: "This means that you may not get alerted about everything on your route". There is no option to set to 'always alert'. Please add the option of full and reduced alerting.

Accident alert to phone messages or email in real time in a chosen area or district
Hi Waze team
I’m from Sydney Australia,
My staff and I all use Waze for our navigation and we love it.I have a suggestion,
Is there a way to get a sound alert when someone reports an accident or heavy traffic in a certain district or area ?
If we are able to nominate an area of our city that we would like notifications on,
It could even send a text message to our phone
This would be a great addition to help avoid accident or traffic before we even jump in the trucks

Police camera ≠ police report
In some countries, it is not allowed to drive with an app giving the exact locations of police cameras (automatic speed control), waze intelligently gives the area where the police cameras are (very useful alert and the utilization of waze is allowed).
But to fight the concept of the "area" most of drivers post a police location each time they pass beside a police camera (I have observed it, a police camera in Paris France is reported every 15 min, sometime several times).
Consequence : waze gives the exact location of each police cameras everyday, every time.
The problem is…29 votes -

Subject: Feature Suggestion – Dedicated Ambulance Alert Button on N
Subject: Feature Suggestion – Dedicated Ambulance Alert Button on Navigation Screen
Dear Waze Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I would like to suggest a potential feature for future development in the Waze app. It would be extremely helpful to have a dedicated “Ambulance Alert” button placed directly on the main navigation screen—separate from the current menu options.
The idea is to allow users to quickly and easily indicate when an ambulance is approaching or passing by. This way, other nearby drivers can be immediately notified and react accordingly to make room, improving safety and response time…

Defferent speed limit for different vehicles
I'd like to tell waze what vehicle I'm driving so when I'm on a single dual carriageway it knows I can only do 50mph and 60mph on a dual carriageway.
