Enhance speed display color scheme
It would be easier to assess speed with more informative color coding:
White = below speed limit
Green = speed limit
Yellow = between speed limit and user-defined "when to show alert" speed
Red = exceeding user-defined "when to show alert" speed
Keep current warning with briefly displayed larger speed limit reminder
Great app, thank you!
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, 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!

Please please please get rid of the black background when numbers are red. They can’t be seen on a phone screen.

Can you look into separating these 2 options so that they can be turned on or off independently? This would be super helpful

The speed camera should be a clearly visible colour not the same colour as the map/route. Come on!

Sinalização de alerta de radar alternar a cor quando o condutor estiver acima da velocidade sinalizar em vermelho e quando estiver dentro do limite ficar sinalizar azul

Have a setting to edit our own way of the map for personal use, change speed cameras blue animation to red and make it more bigger as we can't always see the map when we are driving but big red flashing would help if we are going over speed limit

Nick commented
Waze should do that, better yet, they need to have the speed announcer in every speed limit changes, they need to announce it so that you don’t end up getting a ticket, and respond faster on the speedometer

Please help color blindness!

It needs SOUND, not just a pop up text warning. Text is useless to a driver as it's often missed due to keeping eyes on the road!

Vincent Heyvaert commented
Wave have to play a Sound to indiquate that the driver ride to speedly
and in option also a flash red warning on the screen. -
Grant Roberts commented
When you are driving faster than the posted speed limit, the alert is hard to read especially if you are wearing sunglasses. The alert that shows your current speed is a black background with red numbers. This is very difficult to read on a sunny day!!! Can the numbers be changed to a different color that shows more contrast between the numbers and background?
Thanks!

The speed sign in Waze is hard to read!. My suggestion is that you change the color to the same as the signs on the road, the yellow color makes it easier to read the black speed numbers.

Very important

Please consider changing the color combination during the over speed limit occurrence from red numbers on the black background to another combination. Color blind people like myself cannot see red on black background. White on black or yellow on black would be great. Thanks.

When the speed goes over the limit the phone display to turn into red

Paul Work commented
Can you please give a option of over speed colour as red on back is unreadable, maybe yellow on red. Also have an option of small, medium and large icon size.

Current Road Speed Limit is rather too small
-
MacBoorea commented
Hi, the current Road Speed Limit is rather small for me to see without reading glasses. I don't wear multifocal glasses & can't wear a reading glasses when I'm driving.
Please enlarge it to the same size as the travelling speed of the car.
Please don't remove this car's travelling speed it is very helpful. & instead of changing the colour to red when the car exceeds speed limit how about changing the circle to an inverted triangle (the international graphic sign for caution). Also instead of just changing colour to red how about flashing the digits (considering people who have colour vision problems.

I agree with this suggestion. My thoughts were ( I think the same as the original poster). Below posted speed would be normal. I would then like to set a range (adjustable from 0 - 10 miles over) that would be green. Over that value would be red. That way we old guys don't need to try and see if we're only over by a few miles (I would set mine at about 5 over) because if the color is green, I'm good. As a GUI programmer, this should take but a few minutes of programming time. You already have the logic to identify the speed limit and current speed. Add a couple of variable based on each and you're there.
