Speed trap vs police monitoring construction area.
I would like for a way to distinguish between police out for a speed trap and those that are out monitoring a construction zone. Many times people list police out but they are blocking a freeway exit or something else and aren't trying to hand out speeding tickets

Allow users to suggest speed limit corrections
Currently, speed limits on the map can only be updated by map editors. This process is slow, especially when the main source of information, like Google Street View, is outdated. This leads to inaccurate speed limits or missing data on many road segments.
This suggestion is to add a new reporting option that allows any user to suggest a correction to the speed limit. This would not directly change the speed limit on the map, but it would create a "pending edit" for map editors to review and approve.
How it would work:
A new "Map Issue" report could be…1 vote -
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

Set by default speed limit for all country and city/town/metro area, for each segment
adding automatically speed limits for each segment in all metro zones/cities/towns and all over the country,
this limits can be approved and coordinated with all community managers.
and if in one city is a segment with a different speed limit, any local editors change speed limits value

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.

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

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 -
Average speed zone - keep indicator on screen in car play
If we can’t have the calculation of our average speed at least keep an icon on screen in car play. If we miss the notification we entered an average speed zone we may not realise we are in one.

Make the speed limit bigger and permanently visible on screen. I don’t like having to make it appear by driving a little faster
Can you make the speed limit stay on permanently. And bigger. It’s too small and takes a number of seconds (eyes off road seconds) to glance down looking for it. When unsure of the speed limit in areas where it changes a lot then the only way to make it appear is to drive faster and look for what point it flashes up. This is not safe. I would love it to just be there all of the time.

Use the internal camera in powerfull smartphones to automatic scan for speed limits signs
Use the internal camera in powerfull smartphones to automatic scan for speed limits signs and show them in waze and also add this speedlimits automatic to the database for all other users. This could help to add more actual speed infos in waze.
2 votesSpeed limits are added by editors by means of Waze Map Editor. Using phone cameras to detect limits on the fly would be a feature complex to implement and unreliable to use given the circumstances.

I suggest that you add speed reduction warning to your icons for hazards.
On motorways when there is a speed reduction sign it would stop people braking heavily if they’re aware it’s coming up.

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 -
Bring back the speed limit indicator that was taken away and more celebrity voices more often
Bring back speed limit option. It was very handy now it's gone. Also I'd like more celebrity voices more often.

Make camera/police notification distance speed dependent
In low speed zones, there will be a notification for a camera coming up in 600 meters. That's way too far: at 50kph, I'll have forgotten about it by the time I get there.
The other way around, 600 meters might be too short on a highway, at high speed (especially if the camera/speedtrap is reported slightly ahead of where it actually is)

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…

Option to Change vehicle to a van as national speed limits are different compared to cars
There needs to be an option to have a Van or lorry as the national speed limits are different. I use Waze everyday for my commute to work and there’s three different national speed limits that alternate along my journey.
