1. Option to Disable Specific Alerts, Including Speed Bump Notifications

   I would like to request an option in Waze to allow users to disable specific types of notifications, such as speed bump alerts. While these notifications can be useful, they can become overwhelming in areas with numerous speed bumps. Having the ability to customize which alerts are enabled would greatly improve the driving experience and reduce distraction.

2. Average Speed Cameras - NZ

   New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.

   Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.

   Thanks team!

4. Waze has the framework to potentially help avoid chain reaction vehicle accidents

   I have been studying chain reaction vehicle accidents for years and I belive that Waze may have most of the architecture already in place to alert drivers not yet at the accident scene to slow or stop, which would minimize or eliminate the wreckage, injuries and deaths that occur when low-visability causes vehicles to continue running into a crash site, creating a chain reaction accident. My request is to communicate with one of your engineers to discuss the concept.

5. Add 'beep only' option to the sound options

   I now have the options: no sound / alerts only / sound on. I'd like a quiet mode, but I don't want to miss navigation cues. A beep only mode would be nice.

6. One Click Reporting Design (With Image Link)

   Suggestions:

   1. One Click Reporting Design Suggestion with Count Down Delay Reporting.

   https://photos.app.goo.gl/FVvPoytwbZ9WG9iN7

   1. Additionally, increase notification distance according to speed. So if a user is driving at 75 mph, they would need more time to respond than if they are driving slower. Optionally, you can allow users to set their own notifications distances. Often waze notifies you too far away or two late where you cannot react. Another approach would be for Waze to a have a "Prepare to Exit" notification... as a middle reminder.

7. New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa

   BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.

   It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.

   Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.

   “It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody wrong way on the highway. Just recently, again last week, had another wrong way driver on (Interstate) 43,” says Sandberg.

   So when he saw a story we aired recently about message boards in Milwaukee County alerting people about wrong way drivers, he set to work to make it possible here.

   A few phone calls and one meeting later, the new alert system was activated last Thursday.

   Four days later, it was already put to use for an elderly driver going the wrong way on I-43.

   “It could take the officers, depending on where they are, anywhere from a couple minutes to five minutes to 10 minutes to get in that area, and that’s extra time we can warn whoever’s driving on that highway,” says Sandberg.

   “And that way people can be paying attention to it, because if you’ve got two vehicles at speeds of 70-75 miles an hour towards each other, you don’t have much time to react.”
   Here’s what happens: The 911 call comes into the Brown County Communications Center. Deputies are dispatched, and immediately dispatchers then call the State Traffic Operations Center in Milwaukee, which controls DOT message boards and cameras.

   With the punch of a few buttons, an alert reading “wrong way driver reported: use caution” will appear on message boards on the roads where the driver was last seen.

   “If you see a sign come up, what you need to do is start paying attention to every car that’s coming in the opposite direction of you to ensure that vehicle is actually on the correct side of the roadway,” advises Sandberg.

   He says most wrong way drivers are in the left lane, thinking they’re on a two lane road, so if you see one, stay to the right and call 911.

   Sandberg says, currently, alerts can broadcast on message boards on Highways 172 and 29 and Interstates 43 and 41, where he says the majority of wrong way drivers are reported.

   But this is not just happening in Brown County. Sandberg says the Department of Transportation is working to expand the system to Outagamie and Winnebago Counties, too.

8. Improper hazard alerts for vehicles parked on road shoulders

   some roads have shoulders on one or both sides. We know that these areas are not traffic lanes, but are intended for vehicles to stop or park temporarily. However, every day, no matter which route I take, I keep receiving the alert “hazard reported – vehicle stopped.” I can see that people are reporting this incorrectly, since a vehicle stopped on the shoulder is not a hazard. This alert should only appear when a vehicle is stopped on the actual lane, truly obstructing the way. Therefore, I believe this warning should only exist for cars blocking the road, or it should be split into two categories: vehicle stopped on the road and vehicle stopped on the shoulder. It is frustrating for users to keep receiving hazard alerts and being forced to take extra caution when there is only a car parked in a safe place.

9. Wildlife

   Within the hazards section there should be a report button for wildlife helping warn motorists to remain vigilant, which when reported also sends an alert to the respective wildlife protection agency in that region to send a dispatch to prevent the animal from causing an accident and becoming injured. This would be extremely useful in Australia as we have an abundance of wildlife that resides near our roads .

10. Auto dimming

    When not using a car charger, it would be nice to have an auto dimming option to save battery.
    This would work by automatically dimming the screen to almost complete darkness when on long stretches of road without any turns. As a turn approaches or for any alerts, the screen returns to the original brightness level. This will save a lot of battery.

11. Readd the autozoom disable funtion

    The autozoom disable function was removed in the last update. I am very disappointed with this. I never used autozoom and I am not a fan. I like to stay zoomed out so now I am fighting with the app every few minutes. Please return this function. I am not the type to makes threats to stop using something but I researching other navigation apps to avoid doing this. Or at least let me set the zoom function (how far to zoom in and out and at what speeds). I could set it all consistently if I don't want it to zoom at all. Or allow me to set the zoom based on distance to my next turn. That is much more helpful than speed. That being said I should be able to set it to zero if desired to disable autozoom. Thanks.

    Great news! The option to disable the auto zoom is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

12. Waze should alert the user if traffic or an accident causes it to re-route you, rather than just doing it.

    Alerting the user that a better route is available due to an accident or traffic, rather than just re-routing, would leave the user better informed. I eneded up in a 40 min traffic jam due to an accident because Waze tried to divert me off my usual route with no explanation. My old Garmins/TomToms used to do this.

13. Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones

    Recommendations for the Waze app:
    1. Add setting item: Speed ​​adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
    2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values ​​from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
    3. Add voice speed warning sound option
    4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
    5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match mobifone navigation
    6. Add advance warning option, with warning distance (400m, 300m, 200m, 100m, 50m) so that the app can warn users sooner, especially when signs change in speed

14. Implement user-configurable delay (in increments of 0.1 sec) for voice alerts

    Some vehicle Bluetooth implementations have lengthy handshaking which prevents the first second or two of Waze voice alerts from actually being heard. My car has a feature that ramps up the volume of a Bluetooth phone incrementally on first connection. However, the impact is that in most driving situations, the first two seconds are simply too quiet to be heard!

    For example, instead of "In 500 metres, turn right onto Main Street.", all you hear is ".. to Main Street". Obviously, this information is unclear and confusing, forcing the driver to glance at the map on the phone to verify what exactly is being directed - not only annoying, but it unnecessarily compromises safety!

    My suggestion is to implement a feature where the user can configure a number of tenths of seconds delay for voice alerts, during which Waze would actually transmit silence - the default delay of course would be zero. This would satisfy any in-vehicle delay of the sound due to handshaking latency or any reason, while having no negative impact on any user who doesn't suffer this problem.

15. "Not there" option for all incidents on route clickable, not just on alerts

    When on route, when there are multiple reports and alerts for police or cars on a side of road it only alerts you of only one, there others sometimes are just missed to click the "not there" option and the alert stays there for others. You should be able to click the report and show the "not there" option all times, not just the like button.

16. Places icons

    A way to add gasstation icons, parking icons, trainstation icons etc. So you can see them on the map.
    Maybe in combination with zoom distance, at what 'hight' you want to see them. for instance, highway gas station and parking space you want always to see. But icons in a city, only when you are close.

17. Map issue since the update

    Hello Waze Developers,

    I wanted to share some feedback regarding the Map interface that has been changed since the last update.

    I use Waze in horizontal mode in my car, and I’ve noticed that I am no longer able to see my speed when there’s an alert. Previously, the speed bubble was on the left side and, even when an alert appeared, the bubble remained above it.

    Now that the bubble is positioned in the middle, it seems that when an alert appears, it covers the speed, making it difficult to view. Would it be possible for the speed bubble to be moved above the alert?

    I really enjoy using Waze, and since my car’s speedometer is slightly off, I rely on Waze for accurate speed information. It would be wonderful if this could be considered in a future update.

    Thank you very much for your attention and for your continued work on Waze!

18. There should be 2 categories of choosing Zoom settings, when navigating and when just driving

    When I'm navigating to a specific place, it makes the most sense to zoom based on the distance to the next turn because it makes a visual reminder for the turn coming up and shows the most detail. If I just have waze open, however, it doesn't know when I'm turning, so it should zoom based on speed. I realize not everyone may want this, however, so make 2 categories of zoom options: choose how you want it to zoom when navigating and how how you want it to zoom when just driving.

19. Speed cameras notification

    The alert should notify 1000m before the actual place. this will give sufficient time for drivers to slowing down the vehicle instead of emergency break.

20. Aquaplanning risks

    I would like to suggest introducing “Aquaplaning risk” as a climate alert. It should be useful during raining days to another driving wazers driving in Portugal (I'm portuguese) and of course all over the world.

    Best regards and manny thanks
