I'd like to turn off the notification for a car on the side of the road but still listen to Rodger Federer's voice
The Car on the side of the road ding is so loud and obnoxious that I don't want to hear it. I still want to listen to the voice guidance. Please, either get rid of the ding or give me the choice to turn off alerts and still have the voice guidance.

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.

2 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Open up Waze to developers so we get third party plugins!
Would be amazing if Waze allowed other developers to integrate their software AND hardware to use with Waze.
Escort radar has their own app where if you hold a button on their radar detector, it'd report it on their cloud to other Escort users that a police is spotted.
However, having to have two apps loaded at a time makes it very difficult to catch alerts from both apps at the same time. Opening up an SDK or API on Waze and allowing other companies and developers to integrate with Waze would allow Waze to dominate the industry.
With this…

Increase police warning distance
Waze users are warned of speed traps or police presence only about 600 feet ahead of time. This is far too late of a warning. With a clear line of sight, law enforcement can detect speeders at 1-2 miles out.
By the time the Waze warning pops up, you could have already been detected.
This feature – while very well intentioned and thought out – is useless with so little warning.

I would like Waze to show me the recommended speed to avoid multiple stops while in slow moving traffic jam
Especially when driving regular gear cars, you prefer to drive slowly but steady, rather than stopping and accelerating consistently. This is also favorable in fuel consumption manners. In the long run, if a lot of users will obey this feature it could consequently help to promote the traffic congestion by preventing multiple stops, and improve the traffic flow.

Please bring the "Boyband" voice back. And have a reminder to move over if there is a cop on the side of the road that stopped somebody.

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.

allow for users to pin a point for fake police
In my area there police have been placing unmanned police cars at the side of the road as if using radar. These get marked as police and people really slow down. Which is a good thing, but sometimes people slow down under the speed. Please allow for a way to mark these as police decoys or something.

Please make Speedometer menu items separate:
Show speedometer on map-> can be switched off and on separately
incl. submenus
(Everybody already has a speedometer in the car, so this display is actually unnecessary
additionally it is currently also more dominant than the speed limit
and even hides it)Show allowed speed on map-> can be switched off and on separately
incl. submenus
(This display is the most important for the driver, it shows us how fast we are allowed to drive and therefore it must be big and readable and must not be covered by the speed…

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.

Waze app does not display correctly recently on Android phone
For some reason the Waze app is not correctly displaying on my pixel phone anymore. The speed limit and actual speed are in the middle of the screen versus off to the left where they used to be. When a dialog box pops up such as police reported ahead and your speed is covered up, it's not a good day. Please revert to an older version to prevent this loss of function when it's needed most

Personalized notification. Some of the notification I am always interested in others I am only interested in when I am pulling a trailer. Consider allowing personalization of the notification choices. When commuting to/from work when not pulling a trailer I am concerned with Police Officers on the side of the road and objects on the road. I drive the route most every day and know where the red light and speed cameras are located. I do not need to receive notification of these every day as they are static. Having a way to capture MOBILE speed cameras is…

Speedometer disappears on Android alAuto
Speedometer and speed limit disappears randomly on Android Auto.
Sometimes the problem can be solved by stopping, and changing zoom level by buttons that appear in place of the speedometer. This is not a GPS issue, as navigation works fine at the same time.
Seems to be triggered by Android Auto started after Waze, or Android Auto restarted when Waze is running (head unit restarts when I start the engine). But I'm not 100% sure.
