Improved Alert System for Fixed Cameras at Junctions in Waze
I would like to suggest an enhancement to the way Waze handles alerts for fixed cameras at junctions. Currently, Waze only provides voice alerts for the direction in which the camera is set up, even though the camera captures images from every direction at the junction.
For better safety and user awareness, it would be highly beneficial if Waze could provide voice alerts for all directions when a fixed camera is present at a junction. This would ensure that drivers are fully informed of the camera’s location, regardless of the direction they are traveling.

Mph and metres for directions.
It’s very simple. Two toggle options. To change the speed unit to mph for the speed limit but be able to keep the directions in metres for those shorter turnings and directions in town. In England we use mph and how many miles to but after that we commonly talk about metres. So I am asking for another option so that people can customise the speed limit alerts and the distance to alerts.
5 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Change the colors when speeding
The dark red on dark gray is difficult to read when speeding. I needed to use Waze as a speedometer while in Canada (KPH not MPH). And it was often difficult to read the speed.

Latest update is garbage
Speed limit small and unreadable, current speed worse since it is also small and with zero contrast between background and speed font color. Please tell your developers not everyone has a tablet sized display like Tesla, as it seems this version was developed for a MUCH larger display than most cars have. In the words of Colin Chapman, less is more- this update was a regressive rather than progressive. Read the latest reviews on the Play store, I'm not in the minority.....

Add comments when reporting police presence/speed trap
Would like a feature added when reporting police running radar, comments like: “sitting in church parking lot with lights off”.

Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts Description: Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll
Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts
Description:
Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll booths, sharp curves, forks, merging, complex intersections) under one setting. This means users can only turn them all on or off.
Many drivers would like finer control. For example, speed bump alerts are often unnecessary or distracting, while alerts for toll booths or sharp curves are very useful.
Please allow users to selectively enable or disable each type of permanent road feature alert. This customization would improve the driving experience without losing important safety information.1 vote -
Various suggestions taken from other systems
Hello everyone,
after a period where I have been a passenger of friends and colleagues ( due to surgery ) I decided to write down what, in my opinion, can be insights to further improve this navigation system.As a first suggestion ( I copy the idea from AmiGo ) is to make the indication of the speed limit and current speed more intuitive and readable by using colors inside the speedometer. The idea of verbally indicating the speed of speed cameras can also be very helpful.
The second point I would like to suggest ( this time…

Road Condition Rating/Grades
Showing potholes is a great feature especially in snowy climate. It would also be great to rate the road and conditions. Such as a block feature or an avoidance feature. I traveled 20mph on a road label 50mph due to how terrible the conditions was, it felt like I hit a speed bump every 40 yards. I would label this road a "D", if I could avoid these roads like a less than "C" feature, that would be awesome. User ratings paired with GPS acceleration compared to the speed limit could really help avoid these disastrous neglected road and pick…
38 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

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 -

The speed is covered by friends button.
Image below is showing the error.
I use a Sony Experia Z Ultra.

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.

have a countdown of kilometres based on the speed limit when going into a tunnel
Any time you drive into a tunnel that goes underground the GPS thinks you’re above the ground and starts changing the directions as it thinks you’re above the ground on the Street level when underground in the tunnel so if you need to then go 20 km in the tunnel and there’s various exits. How do you know how far you’ve driven in order to get to your exit underground when it’s recalculating because it thinks you’re above the ground and never figures it out that you’re actually still in the tunnel. So maybe have an option where people can…

Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known
8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn…15 votes -
Please add a coastal and water way navigation with chart data, depth, hazards, no wake zones, locks, navigation buoys etc.
This would help the average and novice boater navigate the country's rivers, lakes, inter-coastal and coastal water ways.

Mute specific warnings
Give us the option is settings to choose what we want to be warned about and what we don't consider as important. Example: many people don't care as much about a vehicle stopped on shoulder, or a traffic light camera, but still want to know about police and accidents. A simple list where we toggle these options would be great.

Update reporting location
It would be great to mark where the report is, example, after observing a police speed trap, we should be able to mark where the trap is. Now Waze assumes it is right where I am when making the report, but that is not accurate.

MERGE WITH OTHER REPORTING APPS
I noticed on the escort radar detectors own app it has a reporting feature waze needs to team up with them and add it as a feature for a small fee as it's only going to make waze the leading app for the ongoing speed camera issue at present
