Allow reporting of New Incidents while an Alert is active (Android Auto)
When using Waze on Android Auto, if an active alert (e.g., speed camera, crash, lane closure) is currently displayed on the screen, the button to report a new incident becomes inaccessible or disappears.
To submit a new report, the driver is currently forced to first accept or close the existing alert. This is highly impractical and potentially unsafe while driving.This limitation prevents users from easily reporting multiple, co-located events (like a lane closure and a crash) in densely populated areas where multiple things often happen near each other.
I suggest that the Report Button should remain visible and accessible…

Ability to see what kind of police setup it is, rather just an icon
It would be helpful to see when a cop is listed on the map, whether it is a RBT, Drug Bus, speed camera etc. this would help alot.
As you see sometimes the cop map but it just may be driving in that area, specifying what actually it is would be great4 votes -
Remove "Missing Overpass" map error report category.
That vast majority (all but maybe 1 or 2, in all the time I have been editing) of reports for "Missing Overpass" have been for overpasses that exist on the map, but are invisible at highway speeds on the app. Because some users do not understand how speed-based zoom works, that assume these overpasses are missing, and report every one they drive under until someone responds to a UR explaining why they don't see them. This is causing a large amount of unnecessary UR's and subsequent follow-up. In the US anyway, it would seem we could do completely…

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

Radar audio warning trigger model
I don't know if this is a new topic or not, but this is a problem that I've encountered wherein the normal Waze behavior is almost like a bug.
How it works today
The visual on screen warning for a Speed camera is based on distance only. I.e it will always show on-screen when the driver is X meters from the camera.
However, the audio warning for a speed camera only activates if you pass the "detection distance" and are "over speed"Problem
In this specific case, the radar is a 70 km/h radar. The detection distance however is…2 votes -
Allow "Map Problem" UR reporting using the 'Talk to report' feature to assist user to leave a UR while driving.
Currently the 'Talk to report' feature allows for reporting road hazards but does not allow for reporting 'Map Problems' such as 'incorrect speed limit' or 'no u-turn allowed.'
As a volunteer map editor, if I could tap the report button and say, "Drop UR here for ... " to open a UR with the UR type listed as 'Voice report' and the UR comment pre-filled with the voice to text input from the report, then I would be able to fix 90% more of the map problems that I notice while driving every day.11 votes -

Police location
If you pass a speed cop sitting somewhere and immediately after you pass them you reach for your phone to update Waze, you could potentially get a ticket because they have a tendency to look into the cars as they pass and after they pass. My suggestion is to make it so whenever you push the police button? It actually puts the police 1/4 Mile behind where you push the button

In The Netherlands we have speed limits on the highway
The speedlimits in The Netherlands are on a lot of parts of the highway From 19h (7 pm) to 6h (6 am) = 130 or 120 kilometer per hour
From 6h (6 am) to 19h (7 pm) = 100 kilometer per hour.
Now the Waze app calculates arrival time always with 130 km/h. This needs to change if you want to have a reliable navigation app.1 vote -
Camera Ratings
Add an option to rate the availability of the fixed speed cameras. Sometimes the fixed speed cameras are removed but since there is no one to update them then it always show up in the map. My idea is to add a button THERE for those cameras that are already there and NOT THERE button. When the NOT THERE ratings exceeds THERE ratings so the editors know that they have to remove them. This can also be shown while driving and let the drivers know the truthfulness of the cameras.

translations missing for roadworks, radars etc.
translations missing for roadworks, radars etc. It is annoying to have all roads, streets etc. in czech, but roadworks or speed checkings ahead in english.

Motorcycle using a 7" Tab 3 active. Beter than a Garmin!
Can you make high contrast maps for direct sun light on screen, size adjustable speed indication and limit, optional speech for over speed, and glove friendly button sizes.
Waze is already good, this would make it the best on a bike

Police avoidance
Like when a jam ahead is getting worse, Waze should tell you “police reported ahead. Do you want to divert? (2 more minutes)”. This should be toggleable in the settings just like speed alert is

Add fix camera on the app
These days, there are many fixed speed cameras that suddenly appeared in Hungary.
There are mobile cameras and police registrations on the screen, but there are no fixed speed cameras. It would be nice if you could add it. Thank you.2 votes -
Speed limit would be crucial. It is honestly the only thing holding this near perfect app back. Users could even upload limits as thy change
Users could post speeds as they change on roads and can be confirmed by users traveling on the same roads as a pop up which could then be turned off in options if a user doesn't like it. Only thing holding this near perfect app back

Notification banner whilst not on top
Hi guys
Quick suggestion.. try to develop a notification for alerts (turns, speed cameras, etc.) for when Waze isn't on top... Just like Google maps navigation does.
That'd be great!

Ability to add speedcameras from an address
I've gotten plenty of speeding tickets and the address is given. Would be helpful to add these speed cameras by an address instead of only when present at the camera

New map on android auto is not user friendly. See details...
The new android auto map has several things that made it less user friendly. First the posted speed and your speed icons are so small that they are hard to read in a glance. You actually have to look very close at it to read them because of the small size.
Also, the reporting button is so tiny and it's black and white now which blends it to the map more and makes it less easily accessible while driving without looking. The old bigger icons were more user friendly. Even after you select to report sometging the icons are much…6 votes
