Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match…6 votes -
Police Heat Map
What about a feature that shows popular police trap locations. There are locations in my town that are popular with police to setup speed traps. If those areas could glow blue like traffic areas glow red, I think that could be a great feature. If you could use the information that wazers report, then that info could be processed through an algorithm that show the high probability areas.

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 -

audio alerts for everything
It would be nice to have audio alerts for all activity in waze. If there is a traffic jam ahead alert me vocally, same for car on shoulder etc.
I say this because I ride a motorcycle and am not able to view my screen (also it would take my attention from the bike). I would like to be audibly alerted of everything such as speed cams, cops, blah blah :)

Display time stamp for waze recorded traffic.
It would be nice to see how long ago waze recorded the traffic(speed of a user). Waze tried to reroute me because it said there was traffic ahead, but I continued and where it showed red on the map, there was no traffic at all.

Alerts
Can you change the alerts so that cameras are warned at any speed nit just when at speed limit or above. Many times I've approached under the speed limit, had no audible warning then my speeds increased as I've got closer

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.

Speeding
Please add an option (for users who choose to turn it on) to have Waze make a loud annoying sound continuously for as long as we are over our selected speeding threshold. A single alert tone that sounds like every other alert tone is not enough for me and my lead foot. I need to be punished.

Screen space landscape
The landscape view of the map has too many things on screen. The black navigation pane covers the speed limit and the speed camera alert also covers most of the screen. I am using larger font sizing as my eyes aren't great and the scaling makes this situation even worse.
Can the screen space be arranged so items don't cover each other in landscape.
Maybe a new set of icons/thin banner on the "side" instead of going along the whole "bottom" of the screen when in landscape.
Also Samsung phone has polarised screen to help viewing in sunlight but with…

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

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…

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…

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…

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.

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.

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!
55 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on having an option to select alert sounds. Keep an eye out for updates in your app store.
