Stop alerting drivers to automated enforcement cameras.
When you alert drivers to upcoming automated enforcement cameras, you defeat the purpose of this lifesaving technology. The purpose of the cameras is for drivers to receive a warning or a summons, and permanently alter their speeding or red light running behavior. By offering these alerts, Waze encourages drivers to continue driving recklessly. It is the most anti-social thing your company does.

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…32 votes -
Alerta de Perigo (Danger Alert): Ofuscamento Solar / Sun Glare Hazard Alert
O Problema (The Problem):
Nas rodovias, durante o nascer e o pôr do sol, a luz solar incide diretamente na visão dos motoristas (ofuscamento). Isso reduz drasticamente a visibilidade, causando cegueira momentânea e aumentando o risco de colisões graves, atropelamentos e saídas de pista. Atualmente, o Waze avisa sobre neblina e chuva, mas ignora o sol forte.
(On highways, during sunrise and sunset, sunlight hits drivers' eyes directly (sun glare). This drastically reduces visibility, causing momentary blindness and increasing the risk of severe collisions. Currently, Waze warns about fog and rain but ignores dangerous sun glare.)

Allow Social Network Reporting of Speedlimits to improve accuracy of speedlimit database
If you allow the user base to report speed limits it would be more accurate than having a static database of speed limits. Also there should be an option for "Variable Speed Limit" for places where the speed limit changes depending on traffic (for example, I-90 and I-5 in Seattle, WA have variable speed limits that range from 30 to 60 mph). There should also be a temporary construction speed limit option in areas where there is construction--you can pop up a verification screen so users to confirm whether the construction speed limit still applies once or twice each day.

Good morning, i would like to suggest that perhaps your platform could speak the speed limit as you enter them on UK roads. I wear glasses but do not require them when i drive but find it difficult to see the annotated speed on your map. Of the voice over were to say the speed limit this would be amazing. I drive a tracked vehicle and get in trouble for not adhering to the speed limit. Your help in this matter is very much appreciated and will be groundbreaking

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.

Please allow users to remove Traffic light camera from the alerts.
I live in a town with many traffic light cameras and it is very annoying that I can't turn off that alert. Please make it so we can turn that off.

Waze's orange alert bubble causes burn in damage really fast in amoled displays.
Waze's orange alert bubble causes burn in damage really fast in amoled display. When in dark mode, I recommend to change to a color with a more 'blackier' accent to minimize the problem.
My old galaxy s9 got permanent damage in a couple months and I don't even drive more than twice a week. I'm afraid my new phone is gonna be damaged too.2 votes -
Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!
Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...
But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the roads…

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".

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…

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…
