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.)

Add a mechanism (button or gestuer) that would take an immediate screen shot and overlay it with the current speed and coordinates
If being pulled over by a cop the user could push the button and get a map with the overlayed speed, the average speed for the last ~10 seconds, date and time and the gps coordinates. This information could be used to convince the cop or the court you weren't speeding.

add a plugin method, e.g. radar detector
There is an iPhone app called "radar active" that allows realtime updates of speed traps. The sounds various radar detectors make (or dataports like on the Valentine V1) could be used to automatically add speed-trap / false alarm information to the map. Android has easy ways to add external hardware, but the microphone could be used on any platform with the right audio processing software.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eco mode
How about an Eco mode that would give you a warning beep if you accelerate or decelerate too fast or drive over the posted speed limit? Of course, the driving speed (for traffic) would need adjusted (because if you're driving 10 under the speed limit for MPG reasons that doesn't mean that there's traffic issues).

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.

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 -

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…

reduce size of alert box and still their box after iOS 16 update cannot see directions on screen
Since the iOS 16 update, the alert box is so large on the left side that you can’t see your next turn or miles or anything until you click still there or not. I still need to be able to see directions with the alerts as it’s caused me to miss, turns quickly when it pops up or it makes me just click still there instead of actually waiting to see just to get the box to remove. Please show a way to reduce that alert box size or move it to the right corner. Thank you!!

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.

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…
