Merge two or more alerts
Today Waze prioritize some alerts and you only have 1 visible and audible alert, even if it has 2 or more in the location.
My suggestion is that in this case Waze can "merge" these alerts. Something like "Speed trap and accident reported ahead"
28 votesWe plan to work on merging two or more alerts in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

1) Update speed limit with smart motorways
1) update smart motorway speeds more frequently as most the time it’s not up to date.
2) make it easier to see which route is the most economical and which is the fastest. Sometimes I wanna drive economically but it’s harder to see which route is lowest miles.1 vote -
Haptic alert
Hi
I want all speed alerts to be vibrational - via Apple Watch. I need the feature to be active all the time, so when I run out door and jump in car I know I will be alerted every time I exceed a speed limit. I need the vibration to continue until speed is back within limit.
This is essential for a motorcycle rider and I think best option for car driver also, you can be looking at phone or expecting to hear a ph in noisey environment, let alone feel a vib from phone in a loose coat…

On a feedback there is no ability to report INCORRECT SPEED LIMITATIONS.IE Waze shows 50 KM/hour in a 40 Km/hour area
Need to be able to press the golden diamond and notify speed display incorrect. This could be a permanent road change as on the Esplanade , Lindisfarne Tas. where 50 shows in 40 zone, or temporary restriction for roadworks

Ask about traffic slowdown when going significantly less than the speed limit
When going slow, but not quite slow enough to ask about a traffic jam (e.g. a fairly consistent 30mph in a 70mph zone), especially when in a construction zone, have it ask about a slowdown similar to jams.

Police traveling in unmarked cars
Add a feature for police traveling in unmarked cars in your lane. To warn wazers ahead of you within a certain speed radius. Not sure if that’s doable.

select trailer or caravan
Driving through 6 different countries from Netherlands to Italy with my trailer. You sometimes forget what the legal speed limits are in each country. It would be great to be able to select a car-trailer combination. also because the travel time is very different if you compair this with a single car.

Throw out speeding data from ETA.
Please add an option that does not factor vehicles driving over the speed limit into ETA. It would be nice to have an accurate arrival time if you are not driving above the speed limit.

Registration plate recognition and automatic tagging of police vehicles
Due to the proliferation of unmarked police cars and unmarked mobile speed cameras (parked cars) with no warning signs, it is now necessary to take it one step further and use the video feed from dash cams (both front and rear) and character recognition to automatically tag a police vehicle by its registration plate (after that registration plate has been manually tagged). If a user is travelling with that vehicle, the vehicle's location would be updated live. Once that user breaks away from the police vehicle, the location would then be picked up and updated live by other Waze…

Bulgarian TTS voice
Waze offers TTS voices in many languages that can pronounce both street names and important alerts. This is extremely useful because alerts like average speed checks, speed bumps, and other warnings are spoken aloud rather than played as brief beeps that can be easy to overlook.
Unfortunately, there is no TTS voice available for Bulgarian. I use the UK voice 'Kate' as a workaround, but it cannot correctly pronounce Bulgarian street names written in Cyrillic. This limits both usability and safety for Bulgarian-speaking drivers.
Please add a Bulgarian TTS voice to ensure proper pronunciation of street names and audible alerts…

Alert sounds
Please can you add the ability to enable Wazers to select alert sounds. The speed limit alert sound is so short and quiet it is almost impossible to hear even at full volume. The ringing bell for roadworks is so loud and clear but doesn’t really need to be! I would love to be able to select the sound for each alert notification. Thanks!
53 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on having an option to select alert sounds. Keep an eye out for updates in your app store.

Updates to / new reportables
Pot Hole (Choose which lane to report for)
Debris in road (Choose which lane to report for)
Visibility alert (Smoke & Fire) (not just bad weather)
Reduced speed alert (Australia 40km,60km,80km,100km) Some zones are 110 but when reduced to 60 it doesn't always change on navigation - Add the option as a reportable.
Option to choose specific reports to have audible alerts.. I usually run mine with no sound at all but would be good to be able to select Police / Speed camera alerts ONLY as audible.

Improve Waze for all (professional drivers like taxi drivers, truck drivers and bus drivers as well)
Feedback for Waze Improvements (Australia-specific but globally relevant):
1. Map and Speed Limit Accuracy
• Please update maps and speed limit data more frequently, especially in Australia where road rules and limits are often updated.
• Ensure that the speedometer always shows the correct speed limit without disappearing or failing, as this can mislead drivers and cause unintentional speeding.
• Improve reliability so the speedometer never stops working unexpectedly.
2. Audible Alerts and Driver Focus
• Introduce louder and clearer spoken alerts for every speed limit change, so drivers do not have to look at their phone…4 votes -
Police Otherside has been eliminated?!
Police Otherside has been eliminated?! Not showing on roads previously used. Police other side is gone from choices. Why? Many municipalities are about revenue and not safety. Artificially low speed limits are cash cows.

When a driver slightly exceeds the road's speed limit, the app should automatically take a screenshot of the location and save the coordinates. This would serve as a future reference so the driver can review exactly where they exceeded the limit.

Mute everything but the important things like cops, speed traps, accidents, gridloc by k. So I don’t have to mute everything
Sound notification filtering please for god sakes! I hate the beeps interrupting my music every 2 seconds and needlessly distracting me! Yes I have it on alerts only I have no clue why it beeps and than shows nothing happening! So annoying! It’s dangerous! I have to mute everything and constantly look at my phone for speed traps!

Create a "soft warning" for known situations.
For example: A location where speed traps are consistently reported would have a warning in a radius such as "speed traps have been reported here." The color of the warning could fade from red to orange as reports decline or vice versa. There's one street I travel where there's a cop shooting radar 80% of the time. There could be a warning about that regardless of if a Wazer had been through recently.

When somebody mark hidden police, other wazers not everytime see policescan radar and they unmark, but realy there is speed contron. You can see there is or there isn't police car, but policescan radar not all wazers see, because it is small, night time, put near trees, or in the back. I think if somebody mark hidden police, and other wazers can't unmark it 4-6hours it will be better
