drive the speed limit alerts when cutting through a neighborhood
Waze sends lots of drivers through my neighborhood when traffic is bad. Most drive over the speed limit and will even pass others who are driving the speed limit. Because you have demonstrated that you do not care about my neighborhood, except as a cut-through, please add a voice alert that will sound when people are using waze to cut through neighborhoods reminding people to drive the speed limit.

Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too
Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route
Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too close to the actual point. I would like to suggest that Waze allow users to configure the distance in advance for these alerts (for example: 500m, 1km, 2km).
Benefits:
More reaction time and safer speed adjustment.
Prevents sudden braking right on top of the radar or obstacle.
Improves user experience, especially on highways and fast roads.
This customization would be very useful for drivers, particularly on long-distance routes.

Speed alerts relevant to the vehicle driven
Hi could you make it possible to have a option to choose a van as a vehicle option? By selecting the vehicle as a car when driving a van makes the speed limit alerts incorrect. Thanks

Speed Camera Audio Alerts should be User not Community Choice
It seems there is a lack of clarity regarding Speed Camera Audio Alerts and how they are triggered.
From what I can tell, audio alerts for speed cameras are a "community" choice, meaning that an audio alert will only be played given a number of conditions:
Depending on where you live - Your "community" decides what the threshold should be, that is if you are currently travelling at the speed limit or below, some communities will trigger the audio alert. Some communities require you to be travelling over the speed limit before the audio alert it triggered.…

Ghost driver alert
A new alert would be interesting to have to alert drivers on a specific route that a ghost driver is coming their way and that they should be cautious, maybe telling them to stay in a lane and to reduce their speed.

alerts hide the permitted speed
When a warning approaches, be it a speed camera 300 meters away, the warning comes on and stays on for that distance, obscuring the correct speed on the map. I don't know if I'm exceeding the speed limit or approaching the camera at the speed limit.It happens with any alert (I have images.)

Too many alerts on speed reduction
The alert "speed reduction ahead" became too invasive. Travelling on a mountain road or in the middle of nowhere waze keeps alerting about slowdowns ahead. This becomes quite annoying after 30-40km of road and 40-50 alerts about speed reduction ahead. It foces the user to silence the alerts... including the one important for the security. I would limit those announces. Thank you. Luca

continuous speed limit alerts
Waze currently only alerts you once if you are speeding. Suggesting an option to allow to keep alerting every X number of min or seconds.

Speed
Hello Waze Team,
Please consider making speed camera alerts always play on Android Auto, even when driving above the speed limit.
In the UK, speed limits can change frequently on smart motorways, and the alert is especially important if a driver has missed a new limit. An audible warning would improve safety and help drivers slow down in time.
Thank you.

Notice to change the speed limit
Optional setting to alert to speed limit.
I am driving with current speed A km/h,
for X meters I will arrive in the city(or location), where the speed limit is B km/h,I would like a notice what distance is to the new speed limit.
or when I should take off leg from speed pedal and come to a new limit speed.
May be, set some intensity of breaking ?
(sorry for my english)
3 votesThis suggestion was discussed internally and it will not be implemented at the moment.
Current plans require us to focus on improving and stabilizing other aspects of the app.

Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Waze already detects traffic speed in real time. Please add an optional voice warning such as:
"Heavy traffic ahead. Reduce your speed."
Trigger the alert when the average speed drops abruptly (for example, from 100 km/h to below 30 km/h within a short distance).
This would improve safety on highways by giving drivers more time to brake smoothly and reducing rear-end collisions. The feature should be optional in Settings.

Background version of waze to voice alert on speed cameras when routing suggestions is not needed
In most of the cases you know the driving route and you don't need waze for suggesting routes. but it's very helpfull to get voice alert on speed cameras on the way.
I suggest to take that feature in waze and make it a standallone version that runs in the background (without the need to open it, or to display path, progress etc' which is battery consuming).5 votesYou can turn Waze to Alerts Only mode and keep app in the background – audio notifications about upcoming alerts will be provided.

Waze powered social speed alert standalone device for car with data built in
Speed camera warning devices are always out of date and don’t warn of police sat by the road or mobile vans. I would like a standalone device connected to the internet and with an audio and I visual warning in a discreet package.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Repeat the audio alert while speeding inside a speed camera’s approach zone
Today Waze plays the speed camera alert once, around 500 m before the camera, and then goes silent. From that point until the camera itself, the only feedback is visual.
The 500 m warning distance is fine. The problem is what happens after it. A lot can change in 500 m: a red light, a downhill stretch, traffic clearing up, or simply forgetting about the camera. If the driver drifts above the limit during that window, Waze says nothing, and the driver gets fined — by an app whose main value for most people is precisely avoiding that.

Add alert/icon for police helicopters with speed radar in Romania
I propose adding a specific alert or icon for police helicopters equipped with speed radar in Romania. These helicopters regularly monitor traffic on highways and national roads, similar to mobile speed radars.
Benefits:
Alerts drivers to maintain safe speeds, reducing accidents and speeding violations.
The icon could be a helicopter with a radar symbol and function like the current mobile radar notifications.
Provides real-time, relevant information to drivers without violating any laws.
This feature would enhance road safety and improve the relevance of Waze for drivers in Romania.

Combination Red Light & Speed Camera
In my area there are now red light cameras that are also speed cameras. Why is this relevant? Because if the light is STALE (green for a long period and may be turning yellow/red soon at some point) I and other drivers who are aware that the light may be turning red may speed up to avoid the possibility of a receiving a red light ticket. (Because you can’t just stop for a stale green light) If you are aware the redlight camera also tickets for speed it would be a helpful reminder to keep your speed in check while…

Radar Alert for any car's velocity
I would to suggest that the radar alert works independent of the drive's speed. Sometimes you're close of the speed limit and there's no alert and you can get a ticket if you distract with something else.
