1. Movable speedometer

   Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
   This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.

   Hey,

   Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

   We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

   Thanks!

2. A button for HOV or non-HOV

   There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).

   Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

3. Not sure if Waze does curves speed alert, that would be nice especially driving on a unfamiliar road at night or in poor visibility.

4. Adding roadworks and speed camera to the report list

   My Waze maps in Melbourne Australia does not have the option to report roadworks or sneaky pop up speed cameras that sit on the side of the road 🫣 as it's not police it feels wrong to report it as police on the map 🤷

5. Calculate speed of travel adjusted for vehicles turning around

   This morning I was caught in a traffic jam in which we traveled 1 mile in 24 minutes. The app was showing travel speed for the area of 8-12 mph at the time because of the number of vehicles exiting the traffic jam to turn around or cutting out of the traffic through side streets. This causes inaccuracy in the eta and may have resulted in routes 'b' or 'c' being faster. Since the GPS is estimated based on location is it not possible to make a change to the system that removes one car length of distance from the speed calculation for each vehicle turning a full 180 degrees to back track.

6. Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets

   Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
   Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
   Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the current one so that it's not forgotten.
   Ideally, Waze would be smart enough to use the speed of the car to calculate the best time to announce the alert so that there would be just the right amount of time for the driver to take action.

   Hello,
   I suggest adding the option to activate a voice message whenever the speed limit is changed. For example: The speed limit on this section is....
   During a long trip I would be happy to receive voice feedback about the speed limit on the road at a certain frequency, instead of constantly searching for the speed in the app while driving.
   Thank you for your attention

8. Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits

   Country-Specific Speed Limit Sign with Symbol for Variable Limits

   Problem
   Waze’s static database cannot display real-time variable speed limits (VSLs) on roads like Israel’s Highway 20 (Ayalon), Switzerland’s A1, Germany’s A3, Austria’s A1, the UK’s M25, the USA’s I-95, Canada’s Highway 401, Australia’s M1, and India’s Delhi expressways. Fixed speed limits (e.g., 120 km/h or 60 km/h) can mislead drivers, risking speeding tickets or accidents, especially on long stretches without repeater signs. Showing no limit confuses users and suggests unedited segments. This issue frustrates Waze communities in the UK, USA, India, Canada, and beyond, demanding a smarter solution.

   Current Options

   No limit: Safest option, avoiding misinformation, but frustrates users expecting guidance and implies segments weren’t edited. A better solution exists.

   Maximum limit (e.g., 120 km/h): Risks speeding when actual limits are lower, endangering safety.

   Average limit (e.g., 100 km/h): Unreliable due to VSL fluctuations, causing incorrect warnings.

   Lowest limit (e.g., 60 km/h): Overly cautious, annoying users with unnecessary alerts.

   Solution
   Display a country-specific speed limit sign (e.g., Israel’s red circle, USA’s rectangle) in the same UI spot as numeric limits, but with a symbol (e.g., question mark "?", exclamation mark "!", or eye "👀") instead of a number, urging drivers to check roadside VSL signs. In the Waze Map Editor (WME), add a simple, country-specific symbol option for editors to tag VSL segments.

   Benefits

   Safer Roads: Prevents reliance on wrong limits, reducing accidents and fines, aligning with Waze’s safety mission.

   Clear Guidance: Familiar signs with a symbol ensure intuitive UI and proactive VSL alerts.

   Trusted Map: Shows active editing, boosting confidence in Waze’s community-driven reliability.

   Global Impact: Enhances user experience worldwide, from Tel Aviv to Toronto, strengthening Waze’s leadership.

   Simple Innovation: Minimal UI/WME changes, echoing Waze’s Israeli-born crowd-sourced vision.

   Example
   On Israel’s Ayalon Highway or Switzerland’s A1, where limits vary (60–120 km/h), Waze shows a red circle with a "?" to prompt checking electronic signs, ensuring safety and confirming editor input.

   Call to Action
   Let’s build on Waze’s innovative roots to make roads safer globally. Can we collaborate to bring this to life?

9. improve Speeding Alerts

   Could the speed indicator be improved in this way: Right now, the speeding icon stays white up to the speed limit, then as soon as 1 mph over, it goes red. I have my alert threshold set to 10% over the speed limit. I would prefer if the speeding icon does not go red until that 10% overage is exceeded. Otherwise the icon would be red most of the time, as most people drive a few mph over the speed limit. And having it red most of the time defeats the warning. It only needs to go red when speeding over the set threshold. Another reason is, I cannot actually read the numbers of the speed indicator as Waze makes them too small to read without reading glasses and I'm not putting on reading glasses while driving. I can see the color change though. If you believe that the color must change immediately, could you make it go from white to orange when the posted limit is exceeded and then change to red when the set overage limit (the 10% in my case) is exceeded?

10. More voice warning before freeway exits, regardless of speed

    I noticed that the location of the voice instruction you hear before a freeway exit varies based on how fast you're going.
    Around 100 km/h, you get the voice instruction 1.5 kilometres before your exit.
    Around 80 km/h, you get the voice warning about 1 km before the exit.
    Around 60 km/h, you get the warning just 300 metres before the exit.

    It's the last one that I think is a problem. Some drivers rely mostly on the voice instructions either because we don't have a phone stand or because of restrictive laws regarding phone use while driving. And if you're on a freeway that has, say, 5 or more lanes, then regardless of what speed you're going at, 300 metres of warning before the exit simply isn't enough. The driver might suddenly have to dart across 5 or more lanes in 300 metres just to make their exit, and that's far too dangerous.

    Even at lower speeds, especially for roads with many lanes, such as freeways, Waze voice instructions should give greater warning before the next turn or exit - e.g. 1 or 1.5 km in advance, like we already get at higher speeds.

11. Can you set the speed "over limit warning" in the speedometer so that it plays the audible warning every time I exceed the speed limit ?

    Can you set the speed "over limit warning" in the speedometer so that it plays the audible warning every time I exceed the speed limit? I'm asking because I've been using Waze to get around Bologna since they added the 30km zone and it's very useful to me. I'm asking you because it only plays the warning the first time and then for a stretch of the road it doesn't play it again, maybe it's set like this so as not to be annoying but I really need it to ring every time. Thank you.

12. When you make a report, you should be able to remove or modify it. I reported a hidden speed trap, and a block later the cop took off.

    Hazard reporting should be able to be removed or edited by the person who posted it, especially speed traps when the cop takes off just after you report it.

19. Speed in School Zone is 30 km

    If the App gives a warning of school zone coming up in 50 meters, it will be very helpful for the driver to slow down well in advance. In the school zone, if someone is speeding the map should show a bigger warning & may be talk to the driver about cameras giving tickets.

    Help us be better drivers!
