Speed Camera Reports throughout an Average Speed Check Zone
When I’m alerted that i’m in an average speed check zone, I tend to get notified every 20-30 seconds of a camera as part of that zone. It gets repetitive and quite annoying as I know that I need to remain within that speed limit until i’m notified that I have left the average speed check zone. It’s just a suggestion but would it make more sense if speed camera alerts were removed whilst in an average speed check zone?

Speed Camera Distance Notification
Using Waze on my iPhone 14 I have noticed that although the position of the camera relative to my car icon is correct & accurate, distance notification pop-up is always about 150-175 yards out. As I pass the camera the countdown continues from 150 yards to zero !!
It's rather annoying that Waze is still showing the distance after I have passed the camera !! The location of the cameras are always correct relative to the arrow representing my car.
Also tried Waze on my car android head unit, and see the same error.
I have a screenshot…

License plate recognition for mobile radars
The idea would be to use the rear camera of the phone to check the licence plates of the cars, and make OCR to read it.
Then it will be compared to a database where users could report the licence plates of the mobile radars onboarded in cars.
Waze could then alert that there is an onboarded radar on the road, and also alert other users with a flag on the map.

Rotational speed camera
Where I am we have permanent speed camera emplacements, but only 2 cameras that are rotated throughout these emplacements. It would be nice to be able to alert wazers to the presence of these, as Waze's current policy is to not allow temporary cameras to be mapped.

speed camera hours of operation
Recently a speed camera was installed along my drive. The camera is active only during school bussing/student times, that would be early morning, and early afternoon. There are several also when I drive to Richmond VA that are the same way, and having hours that its active .. with an "active" or "inactive" verbal alert would be helpful. .. eg .. Active School Zone Speed Camera .. or "Active Speed Camera Ahead"

Fix the "red light camera" bug
For literally 5 years now, I've been noticing that at random times I will launch Waze and it will play the "Red light camera reported ahead" message in different languages. The languages used seem to be restricted to ones I've previously associated with navigation instructions, namely: French, Spanish, Japanese. Sometimes the message also plays in English.

Brighter speed camera icon
Since the update the icon for a speed camera is difficult to see at a quick glance, can the icon not be a bright colour so it is more visible while driving?

Prevent speed camera warning from coming up after dismissing notification {x} number of times.
If you use Waze for your daily commute, you pass the same speed cameras and traffic lights every day. I would suggest that if you dismiss the speed camera or traffic light warning popup {x} number of times (where {x} is a preset default, or user configurable) then Waze knows you know there is a speed camera there and will prevent the popup. Too many popups mean you naturally learn to ignore them.
9 votesYou can disable speed cam notifications as well as other types of notifications in Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports.

Adding Roadside Animal detection system to Waze as a feature will help reduce animal roadkill problem.
Roadside Animal Detection (RADAR) systems – A computerized signs with flashing light stripped when an animal breaks a light beam . These can reduce collisions with large animals. These alerts and captured images can also be sent to different GPS apps like Waze, so that drivers coming by on that road can be alerted through their GPS apps and slow down when crossing that area.

Camera/Police/Hazard WAS reported here - time frame after removal of issue
Have currently noticed that reports of police/cameras are being removed by the police and/or camera operators, as soon/soon after the intial wazer report is logged.
It would be great to see a feature that shows where cameras/police/hazards were reported, but have since been marked as no longer present. When a report is marked as no longer present, it shows up for [say] 2 hours after that 'speed camera was reported ahead'. If issue is still there (ie camera is still present, but was removed by the operator) users can re-enable the report - but NOT remove the…

Earning money for Police camera reports
When you get a police camera warning and that saves you from paying penalty ticket, why not give an option to send some money to user that reported the camera (even some symbolic amount as gratitude would be cool ). This can be done by entering paypal account by registering. That would also encourage people to report more often.

Average Speed / ANPR Camera Reporting
As well as normal Gatso type speed cameras, increasingly automatic number plate recognition / average speed cameras are used in the uk. Being able to report them & their speed limit, and having a notification that you're within the average limit would be priceless.

On map edit, turn speed camera image 180 degrees
The current solution where we put the red dot in the direction BEHIND the camera to set camera direction, the image indicating the direction of the lens is backwards. Perhaps turn the image 180 degrees? It adds a lot of confusion...
