Please adjust speed camera alerts when in traffic
Please adapt speed camera alerts for traffic and speed. You’re notifying me of cameras 0.5 mile in advance when I’m going 5 mph in traffic. Then traffic opens up and I speed up and I don’t realize the camera is there.

Suggestion to Enhance Camera Alert and Speed Warning Features
Subject: Suggestion to Enhance Camera Alert and Speed Warning Features
Dear Waze Team,
I’m reaching out to share a suggestion for an improved alert system in the Waze app, specifically for users who are driving in horizontal phone orientation. This change would make it easier to understand alerts in critical situations, such as approaching speed cameras, and improve overall road safety.
Suggested Features for Improved Camera Alert and Speed Management:
…Dynamic Color-Coded Speed Warning Line When a vehicle is going faster than the speed limit, the navigation line or speedometer could turn red to clearly indicate overspeeding, especially as2 votes -
Improve road detection while navigating
When navigating along roads that have service/access roads, the navigation will want to enter the freeway/highway/tollway/etc. If the driver stays on the access road or exits onto the access road, Waze does not detect that and keeps the location locked to the planned route. If Waze wants to route you onto a freeway/highway/tollway/etc. and you do not take the on-ramp, the app locks onto the planned route and thinks you are on the highway.
It would be nice if, when there are multiple parallel roads, that the app reduces the distance over which it will snap to a road. Another…

Self accident(by impact) detection and reporting automaticaly
Some(maybe many) lives could be saved if Waze could detect accident situation with its user.
It would listen to phone's accelerometer and after huge amplitude of indices form phone accelerometer and rapid, complete stop/non acceleration for about minute, it could ask user/driver for response.
If driver is not responding on phones flashing/signaling/dialog on screen, then big chance that driver is in trouble and Waze could send signal of SOS to closest users and even to local administrators to check out situation. Maybe this feature could be used by local 911/112 as well. If not for immediate rescue then…

waze for windows phone 10
Waze was originally build by an Israeli startup and I know you paid approximately $ 3 Billion to buy the App, before the App was bought the app had a great windows phone app updates, I understand windows phone is a small community of users as compared to your monopolized market share of so called ANDROID. however why are you so scared to release new versions on Windows phone platform? you already have beaten Microsoft and you win but show some courtesy to the waze fans who use windows phone OS and they also deserve an latest version. you don't…

Buss lane camera UK
Dear Waze Team,
I’m a regular user of Waze and truly appreciate how it helps make driving easier and safer. I’d like to suggest adding a new feature to the app: bus lane camera alerts, especially in cities like London where these cameras are widespread.
Many drivers are fined for accidentally entering bus lanes without realizing it, and an alert system could prevent such mistakes, just like the existing speed camera notifications. This would be incredibly helpful for users unfamiliar with specific areas or road layouts.

when there is a speed camera, flash the screen to make them more visible. with only current information, it is hardly visible.

Speed camera alerts only when speeding
Current speed camera alerting is an on/off toggle. You can choose to either be alerted about the camera or not. It would be nice to have the option to be alerted only if you are above (or close) to the speed limit.

Notice if a location has had speed cameras/police cameras report multiple time in that locations
An alert if a location has had multiple reports of speed cameras or police in that location in the past.
I'm thinking of mobile speed camera traps that are moved around. The locations for both mobile speed traps and mobile speed vans tend to reuse the same locations.
So being able to have an alert saying cameras have been reported in this location previously would be brilliant.9 votes -

Verbal Speed Camera Alerts should be on constantly or make a button
In the UK, people loved Waze, simply due to its Verbal Alerting behaviour for everything. But a few months ago, speed camera verbal alerts were turned off if you're under the speed limit.
Not only is this dangerous but it could cause speeding tickets. Let me explain with this is problematic:
1) firstly, the main priority should be to get out eyes off the screens and on the road. It's self explanatory, if I'm constantly having to look fir the speed camera sign on the app and my eyes are off the road then this is a disaster waiting to…

Average speed camera in IRAN
Hello waze
Recently in IRAN roads, many average speed traps are installed.
As you kbow these cameras catch not only the momentum speed but also catch the average speed between 2 cameras and in the whole road.
As you know they use SPECS (SPEed Check Services) system that use number plate recognition to measure the time taken between two fixed points to monitor a driver's average speed.
We, your greatfull application users in IRAN,
ask for activating average speed alarm in map and also in editor erea so the editors can edit and adjust it.Keep drive safely…
20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

UK / Android camera notices need fixing.
UK camera call outs have gone to pot.
Static speed camera's are not 'Speed Trap's - a copper hiding behind a bush is a speed trap.
Used to get "speed camera reported ahead"; now a really brusque "SPEED TRAP ahead".
Average Speed Cameras are not true Speed Cameras and do not need calling out every 3 lamp posts.Can we also have the "Speed reduced ahead" warning back - really useful for the 70-40 mph drops.
