1. The vehicle speed set to 0 and map display jumps on GPS blinds spots

   The Speed Problem:
   I noticed that when the car enters a cave my speed per hour gets reset back to 0 and when I leave the cave it goes back.

   Plus - The Map Display Problem:
   When I get inside the cave the map display feature of the car/arrow icon stops working:
   (the car/arrow icon would stop moving and then jump back to the end of the cave when I leave).

   I believe that the map feature and speed is working by gps to locate the vehicle location and time to calculate the speed which makes the car km/h / m/h to be not accurate:
   Meaning that when I enter a blind spot from gps, the car location won't be changed and the map display of the car would just stay put ,
   Plus - When the car location is not changing then the cars speed would be set to 0 by the calculation cause it's using only the location change over time.

   My solution to this problem is to make an option which you can take the speed from the car itself without having the trouble of calculating it yourself. -

   Most people of this time have already made the switch to electric vehicles which have the base "computer" inside of them which shows the driver their speed and allows them to download certain apps to their vehicle such as Spotify and Itunes.
   Plus - For some of those vehicles the Waze app could be added.
   Meaning that the Waze app would be able to request from the car the ability to track its speed.

   With this solution we can find out exactly at what speed the car is driving at all times without worrying about calculations.

   With this information we can also know roughly the exact location of the car.
   How do we do it?
   Simple. We just take the speed of the car and multiply it with the time that has passed.
   For example:
   Speed = 90km/h
   We would place a constant variable for the Time to be 1 Second that would not change ( it would mean that the map display would change every 1 second)
   Then:
   We calculate it by this equation:
   Distance = Speed in km/h * Time in hours

   For our example:
   First we need to change it from km/h to m/h:
   90 / 3.6 = 25 m/s
   Then Distance = Speed * Time:
   Distance = 25m/s * 1s
   Distance = 25 meters

   After that we can know the distance the car traveled the past second, and we can add it to the map along the road.
   And I know what you all think.
   WHAT IF the Car driver choose to reverse or change a path in the middle of the road.
   And that's why this function would ONLY work where there is no connection to GPS, and then when we get back connection to GPS the car would jump back to the location from the GPS.

   There for we can now know the exact location of the car on the road, Plus - we can know its speed at any given time(NOTE: This feature could replace the current way of speed tracking on any road).

   Another Solution IF we can't use the vehicle speed:
   We can also use the vehicle speed for the past 5 seconds before going into the blind spot + use other cars past records speeds of driving in that road and the speed numbers of vehicle users there are on the same road at the moment, and get the average speed of all of them.
   The way we can know the speed of vehicle users who drove this road in the past?:
   Simple,
   we just do the exact same equation from before just placing the time as the time they spent on the road and the distance of the road.

   And then we know the speed and we can find the location of the vehicle on the map just like we did before.

   That's my solution I hope you liked my detailed explanation and give me a feedback!

2. Louder speed limit exceeded sound for moborbike riders

   I can't hear the "speed limit exceeded" sound at all on my motorbike, so it is essentially not something I can use.

   It would be nice if that was louder for those who have selected they are on a motorbike, to match the volume of the voice (or else, an option to make it louder).

   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

7. Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS

   An important factor during a car trip is the "Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS".
   During a car trip, the MPS changes constantly:
   1) from 70 to 50, then to 90, suddenly to 30, then again to 70, 30, 70, 100, 90, 120, etc.
   2) The MPS aren't always the same type of traffic signs.
   I've noticed that I sometimes miss a traffic sign, and WAZE alerts me, for example, with an audible signal (thanks for that!).
   My gaze automatically shifts to my smartphone, which actually distracts me from what's happening or could happen on the road!
   That's why I'd like to venture a suggestion for what I consider a minor change to the "Navigation Screen" of the trip.
   With the aim of:
   "Significantly increasing road user safety!!"
   Proposal:
   At the bottom left of the navigation screen:
   1) the MPS will be displayed in a small "red/white circular" traffic sign;
   2) and just below that, the "Current Speed (CS)" in a larger "black circle."
   ======>>>> My proposal is to reverse the size of the circles for both indicators.
   In other words, the MPS circle, the most important indicator,
   will be larger and more readable than the CS circle.
   Especially in the dark!
   Moreover, the CS is less important; we also read it on the car's dashboard.
   The CS is normally lower than the MPS, otherwise WAZE will display a large MPS warning pop-up and/or an audible signal.

9. While talking in the car I often miss the prompt. You should have a warning signal prior to the prompt so it isn't missed.

   A beep or some sort of signal prior to the prompt would alert you to the upcoming prompt.

10. Car play ETA details override during upcoming Speed Camera Alerts

    Hello Waze Team,

    I would like to suggest an improvement to the Apple CarPlay experience when approaching speed cameras.

    Currently, when a speed camera alert appears, it temporarily replaces or hides important navigation details such as the estimated time of arrival (ETA), remaining distance, and trip duration. This can make it difficult to stay aware of key trip information while driving.

    I recommend maintaining the visibility of ETA, remaining distance, and travel time even during speed camera alerts, or displaying the alert in a way that does not override these essential details.

    This improvement would enhance usability and allow drivers to stay informed without compromising safety.

    Thank you for your continued efforts in improving the Waze experience.

    Best regards,A Waze user

11. Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams

    Feature: Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams

    Problem:

    When one vehicle hard-brakes on a highway, it creates a backward-traveling shockwave. Due to human reaction times, vehicles behind brake even harder — causing a dead-stop jam with no actual obstruction. These "phantom jams" cause thousands of rear-end collisions yearly.

    Proposed Solution:

    Waze already collects real-time GPS telemetry from millions of drivers. If the system detects a sudden velocity drop, it could instantly push a "Reduce speed to 60 km/h" advisory to drivers further back — absorbing the shockwave before it cascades.

    I Built a Working Simulation:

    I've created an open-source Python simulation using the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) physics that proves this works:

    • Without intervention: 11/15 vehicles reach dead stop

    • With V2Cloud warning: Zero vehicles stopped, shockwave fully absorbed

    • Effectiveness drops sharply above 1.5s latency — Waze's existing infrastructure is fast enough

    GitHub (full code + demo): https://github.com/san342147/v2cloud-traffic-optimization

    Video demo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/[YOUR-LINKEDIN-URL]

    No new hardware required. No V2V sensors. Just an algorithm upgrade to Waze's existing real-time traffic engine.

    I'm a B.Tech AIML student from Chennai, India and would love to discuss this further with the Waze engineering team.

12. 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.

    Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

13. Speed alert for 2 mph over limit

    Currently, you can select an alert if you are going above the speed limit (at all) or 5 mph over the limit.

    I would like to suggest 2 mph.

    5 mph is too much because by then, a cop will almost surely give a ticket without mercy. 5 mph over the limit is usually the informal grace limit.

    But an alert for any mph over the limit is too sensitive. Even on cruise control, my car sometimes exceeds the limit by a fraction of a mph when I begin to go downhill. It takes a second for the cruise control to adjust, but by then, Waze has already beeped at me. So it's too sensitive. 2 mph would be much better.

15. Hi Waze team, Could you please consider adding these features? 1. Make the displayed speed limit larger and easier to read while driving.

    Hi Waze team,

    Could you please consider adding these features?

    1. Make the displayed speed limit larger and easier to read while driving.
    2. Add an option to set a speed alert threshold below the speed limit, for example 5 km/h under the limit.
    3. Add an early voice warning when approaching school zones or reduced-speed areas.
    4. Allow users to customise the speed-limit display size and alert sensitivity.

    These features would help drivers stay below the limit, especially in school zones and high-risk areas where early warnings are important.

    Thank you.

17. when wazers are regularly exceeding the speed limit on non-highways, waze should stop sending people on that route.

    If Wazers are exceeding residential speed limits, it creates a hazard for everyone in that area. Waze should collect data about the amount of drivers who are exceeding speed limits and then restrict usage of those roads because it is a public safety issue.

    Drivers may be going through areas where there are children, joggers, bicyclists, and others who are now at risk because people are exceeding the speed limit while looking down at their phones to get the next GPS instruction.

    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!
