Show temporary speed limits in construction zones
Temporary Speed Limits for Roadworks & Construction Zones
This suggestion aims to enhance road safety and improve the accuracy of Waze navigation by implementing a feature that displays temporary speed limits in real-time. These are the limits indicated by the yellow or orange signs on portable stands often found in road repair and construction zones.
Currently, Waze primarily relies on static, permanent speed limits for a given road segment. However, in areas with ongoing roadworks, the official speed limit is often temporarily reduced to ensure the safety of both drivers and road workers. Without this information being reflected in the…1 vote -
Route by average speed
Sometimes the app suggests a route with a shorter total time, but with a much greater distance than the other options. For example: 5 minutes less with 10km more. Therefore, I suggest showing the average speed (Distance/Time) of each option.

Why is my speed being tracked?
I do not like that my speed is being tracked. For what purpose? To tell if the traffic is moving or not?

Please can you make the Red circled speed limit the same size as the Current vehicles speed sign as the red circled one I find too small.

Enable speed and associated icons to be placed on the left or the right side of the navigation screen at drivers discretion
Currently speed icons only display on right side of navigation screen. I drive a right hand drive car and speed icons are obscured by steering wheel and indicator stalks. It would be nice to have option to display the icons on the left or the right side of navigation screen at driver's discretion to facilitate clearer display depending on car navigation screen installed position.

Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

interface, these are search buttons, speed limits and a speedometer on the right side of the screen for right-hand drive vehicles.

Radar de velocidade média - average speed radar
It would be interesting, in these new “average speed” radars, that along the section in question, the green progression bar that appears in the application on the left side would turn red whenever the vehicle exceeds the allowed average. Here's the tip.
Seria interessante, nestes novos radares de “velocidade média”, que ao longo do troço em questão, a barra de progressão verde que aparece na aplicação do lado esquerdo passasse a vermelho sempre que o veículo ultrapassasse a média permitida. Fica a dica.

Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too
Suggestion: Option to set alert distance for events on the route
Currently, alerts for speed cameras, police, and speed bumps are shown too close to the actual point. I would like to suggest that Waze allow users to configure the distance in advance for these alerts (for example: 500m, 1km, 2km).
Benefits:
More reaction time and safer speed adjustment.
Prevents sudden braking right on top of the radar or obstacle.
Improves user experience, especially on highways and fast roads.
This customization would be very useful for drivers, particularly on long-distance routes.

Temporary recording of speed and location
Please add a setting where you can record the last 2-5-10 minutes of a commute with speed, location and a timestamp. This could allow us to help defend ourselves against police errors. Ive been pulled over twice this year on the highway whit the cruise set to 120kph and the police told me they snapped me a 138 and 130 witch is not possible. It would be nice to have some kind of proof to back me up in the future. People could set this up when creating the account or even disable it for more speed in the…

Enable users in Uganda to map out the new speed limits on the roads and get alerts when they are driving above the speed limit
New speed limits have been implemented in Uganda alongside electronic speed ticketing. There are little to no speed limit signs so this would help people monitor and adhere to speed limits during a commute.
The feature required is the ability to map the speed limits so we can crowd source the information

Estimating the time to pass tunnels using average speed
When Waze suggests a path with a tunnel, the estimation time is always incorrect, and I cannot conclude that this is the best route. For example, if the time to pass a tunnel without traffic is 2 min and I pass it in 10 min (because of traffic), then after I came out of the tunnel, the estimation time become +8 min. I think Waze uses instantaneous velocity and GPS location to estimate traffic. In tunnels, GPS doesn't work (and many of tunnels don't have beacons), so Waze does not compute traffic in tunnels. This issue can be easily fixed…

Adding link to OBD2 Bluetooth transmitter which provides speed data info. Combing this with a gyroscope allow navigation in tunnels.

In Mexico, show the speed limit of the street, ave, blvd you will take.
As there are new speed limits and cameras for fines, it would be helpful to know the speed limit of each street

I would like the app to display speed limits as I drive.
I would like the map navigation to display the speed limit as I drive.
Warning sounds if I exceed limits.
Also the ability to customize how much over the speed limit the warning should sound.
Also, to see the sky into top foreground as it would appear according to earths rotation.1 vote -
Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput
I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one
It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.
The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.
If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and…

Voice countdown to speed cameras (like radarbot)
It would be a massive benefit to have a countdown to speed cameras and the associated speed limit to be sounded very 50m or so when approaching any camera on route.
See Radarbot. Very useful but would be great in Waze.
