Multiple SpeedLimit
Currently, Speed limit alerts merely with a "beep" sound.
1st, I suggest to make it possible to select our favorite sound from internal memory for any limit excession,
2nd, let us adjust more than one limit; for example exactly in speed limit and when the speed reaches to +10km/h more than limit.1 vote -
Adjust the location of alerts
In Android Auto, whenever an alert appears, it hides the search buttons, alternative routes, sound, and especially the button to create an alert. This means you have to close the alert to access the create alert button. This wastes time creating the alert and makes it unsafe, as this additional step distracts the driver.
One suggestion is to have alerts appear below the traffic directions without pushing the interface to the right.

Traffic Reporting
users report traffic even at 2am on an empty street as heavy or even standstill just to get points.
Recommend a change where the user only presses a button that says "report traffic". Then the app over 3 minutes send location and speeds to server and server decides based on reported speed vs posted speed, the heaviness of traffic. At 80% if posted a peed you mark "moderate". At 60% it's "heavy" and at 40%, it's at a "standstill".

Separate alert option for mobile phone and seatbelt cameras
Can you add a separate option option for mobile phones and seatbelt cameras? Many people also talk about this on Reddit, as I googled to see if this was an option I could turn on. Using the Police alert does not work as people do not see them and crowd-sourcing turns them off. Sometimes these cameras are mobile and sometimes permanent. It is such a money maker for the govt, I see one just got added onto lights where a road was upgraded. Having this pop up on Waze would be a reminder to drivers and therefore increase safety as…

BUG: Start of trajectory speed control is not in the correct language
Situation: I live in the Netherlands, but both my iPhone and Waze are set to English (male voice in Waze). But when I approach a trajectory speed control, the warning is spoken in Dutch (female voice). I've seen several mentions of this when searching on Google, so I'm not the only one with this issue.

Alert for BMW drivers
Dear Waze Development Team,
I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to propose a feature enhancement that could potentially improve the user experience and safety measures within your esteemed navigation application.
As an avid user of Waze, I have noticed an opportunity for a unique feature that could contribute to the overall safety and awareness of all drivers on the road. I am suggesting the addition of a feature that provides alerts to users when they are approaching or are in close proximity to a BMW vehicle.
The motivation behind this…

Upcoming Direction Sound only alert
I don't love the spoken directions and alerts. I really just need something to tell me "check the screen". Rather than a full read out, or even a simplified readout of the directions, could there not just be a "ding" that lets me know an upcoming direction so I know to look at the screen.
I keep the speaking directions off because I find them annoying. But I frequently miss turns, off-ramps, etc when Waze wants me to take a different route than I normally do on a frequent drive because of traffic or hazards, etc.

Save and later upload client data for areas with limited cell and/or Wi-Fi only users.
The amount of data saved currently is insufficient to allow mapping of vast rural areas. Saving this data when storage is available and later uploading will speed the completion of your goals.

Credit Card Skimmer - incorporate reporting finding a credit card skimmer @ a pump, ATM & set a 24hr alert
As people can report accidents or cars on the side of the roadway, we could report finding skimmers and alert drivers to the possibility of one being at the location within the past 24 hours. The alert would fade away after that period of time if no further alerts from that point are validated.

Please fix the CarPlay issues,
Please fix the CarPlay issues. Directional information covers the speed limit, move the speed limit to the top left? Speed camera notifications cover too much screen, make these transparent? Show the average speed camera distance like on the mobile version of the app. After turning a corner the map takes too long to realise you’ve turned meaning you scan easily miss your next turn if it’s close after.

I’m reaching out to introduce Alive Alert, a patent-pending system designed to bring verified, real-time hazard alerts directly into driver
I’m reaching out to introduce Alive Alert, a patent-pending system designed to bring verified, real-time hazard alerts directly into driver navigation platforms — without relying on crowdsourced reports.
Alive Alert ensures that drivers are automatically notified when approaching active road construction, utility work, or other roadway hazards. Unlike existing systems that depend on user reports, alerts through Alive Alert originate only from licensed contractors or agencies with valid permits.
When a construction permit is issued, the designated alert zone and activation window are set by the permit office. Once the job is awarded, the contractor is granted…

Add "No lanes closed" response to "Waze Asks" card for roadworks alerts
A recent unannounced change has added a "What do you see?" card when approaching a roadworks alert. The only response options are to report lane closures or to indicate that the roadworks are no longer there. There is no intuitive option to dismiss the question or respond that construction is still taking place but no lanes are closed.
The majority of roadworks take place without any lane closures, yet the app assumes that closures will occur.
Without an intuitive way to respond differently to a lane closure, many users seem to be selecting one of the closure options to…25 votes -

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.
