Customize Your Experience for Maximum Road Clarity
Set Personal Speed Limits for Extra Cushion
- Pick a lower-than-posted trigger to give yourself more stopping time in neighborhoods, then relax the threshold on interstates for smoother flow.
- Want a gentle vibrate instead of a beep? Adjust notification types right in the main menu—so alerts remain helpful, never jarring.
- For road trips, save favorite settings and reactivate them next time. Waze Radar+ remembers preferences, so you won’t repeat setup every drive.
- Mute non-urgent warnings in heavy traffic where they’re more distracting than useful—your phone stays informational, never intrusive.
- Add a family driver profile to shift alert tones or enable extra reminders, teaching new drivers the right habits from day one. Everyone gets alerts tailored for their skill level.
Highlight and Respond to Real-World Hazards
- See a yellow triangle when a speed camera or hazard’s ahead, with a clear distance countdown so you never miss your window to react.
- Tap ‘Report’ during your trip to help others. Drop a pin at an obstacle or police location, knowing it could protect somebody else a mile behind you.
- Mute voice but keep visual alerts if you’re listening to a podcast—visual cues alone keep awareness up without interrupting entertainment.
- Split screens give you hazard info beside your main route, so no detail competes for focus. Risk is contextual, never overwhelming.
- For repeat routes—like the daily school drop-off—set Waze Radar+ to prioritize permanent warnings for local crosswalks or bus stops.
