Time dependent Speed Limits

We really need the ability to add time dependent Speed Limits for school zones or other times of the day where the maximum speed limit changes, this would not only help with navigation slow downs (which most school zones wouldn't affect too much anyway) but would also increase safety for drivers and pedestrians in the area.

If we were able to set speed limits during specific times of the day it would mean a popup warning for a changed speed would mean users would be aware and slow down and hopefully prevent accidents from occurring in this speed sensitive zones.

Please vote up if you agree, so we can get this added to the Waze map editor!!!

    This would really be fantastic to have and would better alert drivers of changes in speed limits especially when the speed limit sign can be missed / not the easiest to see

    This would be a great addition in Australia, especially since the government is starting to making a lot of places variable speed limit zones between certain times.not just school zones.

    Would love this to have more attention. Speeding fines are insane, and it's difficult to trust Waze to have the correct speed limit due to the variable zones.

    This is a 💯 critical. @numbermaniac we get beeped once within the same drive for going over the Waze limit. I’m sure most of us won’t mind getting the new very irritating ’double beep’ by going over the lower set limit than running over somebody while driving the upper limit during a lower limit time dependent zone.
    In short, we don’t mind Waze showing the lower limit when visually we can see that it’s a higher limit.

    Please, please, please put more effort in the deveolpment of time based speed limits.

  • numbermaniac commented  ·   ·  Report

    @Adele the reason we don't show the lower limit is because, when the higher speed limit is in effect, if Waze is showing the lower limit, every driver will keep getting beeped at by Waze for exceeding the speed limit, even when they're not.

    It used to show the variable speeds and warn if speeding. Why remove such a good thing. Half the time I'm not sure what time in afternoon it is and sometimes miss the first school zone signs. BRING IT BACK 🤬. Unless you don't want anyone to use anymore.

  • Adele Muller commented  ·   ·  Report

    waze is now useless in australia since they’ve made the choice to show the higher of the two speed limits. there’s a speed trap near my house and waze always used to show the lower limit of 40 but now they’ve changed it to 60 and many who don’t know the area will get demerit points because of this. if waze isn’t able to show variable speed limits can they at least go back to showing the lower limit? especially in the presence of speed cameras?

    I totally agree! I believe adding time-dependent speed limits for areas like school zones would be a significant safety improvement. Many school zones have lower speed limits during certain hours, and having Waze provide a popup warning during those times would help drivers adjust their speed accordingly. It could reduce accidents in these sensitive areas and make navigation more accurate by considering real-time speed changes. This feature could be a great step forward for safety and efficiency.

    This function should be a priority! It's dangerous when Waze shows 60 when in fact its 40

  • Sirjan Singh commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree.
    Not only in school zones but we have many streets where speed limit is lowered between 7am-10pm or midnight. It is crucial Waze shows this.

  • Andre van der Merwe commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely critical in Australia if you don't want to lose your licence! Every morning and afternoon I drive through many school zones and one in particular goes from 70kph to 40kph.

  • Robert McIntosh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Road safety is number one, and the ability to lower limits according to local rules is crucial.

  • Claire commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think this is fairly vital~ having been a resident of a number of ‘tourist towns’ seasonal speed limits are often implemented at the same time as police presence is increased.
    I’m also struggling to understand why Waze would show the higher of two speed limits~ this can mean an indicated speed limit 10+ km above which can be an instant loss of licence in Australia.

  • ET commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be a great feature.

    In the meantime, we should just pay attention to the road like we used to before Waze.

  • Nigel B commented  ·   ·  Report

    Definitely need this for the 40Km/h school zones in Western Australia
