Accident alert to phone messages or email in real time in a chosen area or district
Hi Waze team
I’m from Sydney Australia,
My staff and I all use Waze for our navigation and we love it.I have a suggestion,
Is there a way to get a sound alert when someone reports an accident or heavy traffic in a certain district or area ?
If we are able to nominate an area of our city that we would like notifications on,
It could even send a text message to our phone
This would be a great addition to help avoid accident or traffic before we even jump in the trucks

From Sydney

update alerts for other side of road
I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs…20 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Apple CarPlay average speed indicator and traffic length missing
When viewing waze on mobile you can easily see the average speed zones in a vertical bar on the left of your screen. But when you use waze through CarPlay, those zones aren't shown or mentioned at all. This is a critical feature missing from CarPlay, which does more harm as it gives riders a false sense of security when they're using waze through CarPlay.

In the United Arab Emirates, there is a system called a speed limit margin. Signs are posted on the roads in the emirates
In the United Arab Emirates, there is a system called a speed limit margin. Signs are posted on the roads in the emirates of Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. There is a speed margin, for example, if the road speed limit sign is 100 km/h, the speed limit for fixed and mobile radar cameras is 120 km/h. This is 20 km/h higher than the posted speed limit. Is it possible to adjust only the speed limit for mobile and fixed radar cameras? This margin is present in all the emirates except Abu Dhabi, Al…

Alert sound indicating upcoming route change while on the phone
I drive long distances and one of the main issues I have is that when I'm on the phone, there is no alert sound to indicate an upcoming route change. Apple maps will ding to force you to look down and realize you have an upcoming route change. It's easy to get distracted on the phone and not be paying close attention to your next change when Waze is silent.

Radar traps alerts
Until now Waze would alert for all fixed radar traps regardeless of being used online or offline and regardless of our speed. Now that has changed and doesn't happe anymore, the alerts are only audible while online. This is a pityfull change in the aap and should be corrected asap, for this is one of Waze's most usesfull features considering the huge number of radar traps present in European cities.

Add Alert for Roadside Assistance Vehicles (Australia)
I’d like to suggest adding a specific alert or hazard option for stationary roadside assistance vehicles in Australia (e.g. RAA, tow trucks). A new rule in South Australia—and soon other states—requires drivers to slow down to 25 km/h when passing these vehicles displaying flashing amber lights.
Including a reportable category or automatic alert would help increase compliance, improve safety for roadside workers, and align with local road laws.

Please check on MPH display. My Waze always shows 10MPH Over the speed limit.

Alert the user if no verified email address is on file.
I’d like to suggest that the app alert the user if they don’t have a verified email address associated with their account. (If it’s already there, I don’t recall seeing it). My account of many years disappeared without a trace according to the support staff response I received. They said it was because I didn't have a verified email address for it.

Unable to Submit Reports When Toast Messages (e.g. Tollbooth, Speed Bump) Appear
I’ve noticed an issue when trying to submit a report while driving near certain map elements such as tollbooths or speed bumps. When the short “toast” messages like “Tollbooth ahead” or “Speed bump” appear, they overlap the Submit button on the report screen. This makes the button temporarily inaccessible, preventing me from submitting the report until the toast message disappears.
It would be great if the UI could adjust to prevent this overlap — for example, by repositioning the toast message or allowing the report submission button to remain accessible at all times.

Use the Bluetooth mesh for alerts when there is no internet connection (like Bitchat)
Using Bluetooth mesh technology to create a network where each device sends an alert to the next device, until one of the devices is connected to the internet and that alert is sent to the network. Just like it's done with the Bitchat app.
Many times we drive a very long stretch without internet access, and important events happen on the road that we need other drivers to see. With this Bluetooth network activated, we can share with drivers near us, and they can share with those closest to them, eventually reaching someone who has satellite internet or even mobile…25 votes -
Interval Tone for Speeding
Pls provide a setting for interval tone warnings for a selected speed threshold - ex. if/when I go >/= 70mph give a tone every 5/10/15/30 seconds. Doesn't have to be anything fancy - a simple beep or boop will do.

When you exceed speed limit and there is radar in front of you, there should be more warning.
Warning should be like "camera or police reported ahead, your speed is above limits.

Enhancing Waze: Traffic Mode vs. Navigation Mode
Problem: When using Waze primarily for traffic and alert monitoring (rather than navigation), essential information like the compass, speed limit, and alert icons doesn’t appear unless a specific destination is set. (I am using ipadOS 17.4)
Suggested Improvement:
Introduce a new option in “Settings: General” called “Default Driving Mode.”
Users can choose between:
Traffic Mode: Starts Waze in full-screen map mode without the “Where to?” prompt. Provides standard map elements and access to submit/receive alerts.
Navigation Mode: Retains the current default map with the persistent “Where to?” prompt.
Consider adding a button on the map display to toggle between…3 votes -
Speedometer size and location
On my 9 inch car android, speedometer is barely visible.
1. The size should be adjustable.
2. The colors should be adjustable.
3. The position should be moveable.
4. Beeping sound and duration should be customizable.
5. Speed limit should blink after certain speed limit54 votes -
No alerting caps
Waze does not alert at all reported fixed phone / police cameras because of caps on alerts on regularly travelled roads exposing drivers who forget about cameras to fines. This is confirmed by by WAZE's team: "This means that you may not get alerted about everything on your route". There is no option to set to 'always alert'. Please add the option of full and reduced alerting.

First at all, i would like to thank you for this app, it's probably the most useful and greatest one i use !
The only advice i could give you it's to add a RED screen alert when there is a danger or speed trapper, it would be very usefull because when you have no noice, you can miss a danger !

Move alert notification placement on CarPlay to avoid missing exit
When I receive an alert (I notice it most often when there’s a stopped car on side of road) on the Waze UI via CarPlay, the notification overlays on top of the upcoming exit/turn. In order to not miss my turn/exit, I’m forced to tap There/Not there just so I can get it out of the way. Not only is that frustrating for the driver but it’s also giving the app bad data.

Please put speed indicator location option in settings. Top left is hidden behind other head unit overlay when on Motorcycle.
Please put an option in settings for speed indicator location top left, top right, bottom right etc. When using CarPlay on my motorcycle the speed indicator is hidden behind the headunit menu overlay on the left.
