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!!!
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!

I had a couple of fines before I found out that Waze isn't as correct as I thought it was.
On motorways in the Netherlands, you are allowed to drive 100 KPH in the day, 130 KPH after 19:00. Waze only tells you the speed limit for 130 KPH so maybe this can be a good feature to add.
Or at least make the speed limit 100, so it won't make you think you can drive faster while you actually can't. -

In the Netherlands we have highways where during the day, you're only allowed 120 KPH, which is between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM, outside those times the speed limit is set to the max limit (in this case 130 KPH).
Another example is in Germany (highway)roads sometimes during the day there is "no speed limit" and during the night there is (so reversed).
Adding this will help people know what the maximum speed is according to the time of day. Note this is not based on road-works, or temporary speed limits, but permament rules for the speed limits.

The editing interface should permit the addition of time-based variable speed limits to the map.

In NYC, speed cameras have been deployed around schools but are generally operational on "school days during school hours and one hour before and one hour after the school day".
Effectively this means the speed cameras are operational Monday-Friday from 7:30AM-3:30PM during the school year (and perhaps a 1-month summer school period.)
Perhaps there could be a way to attribute the known days/hours where these cameras are in operation so as to not trigger false alerts.
Second, while the road speed might be marked to 25/MPH, the speed camera enforcement is for vehicles traveling 35/MPH or higher. Perhaps the "excessive speed trigger" can be set to warn people only when they are traveling above the enforcement speed?
(At the time of writing, these speed cameras have been disabled for political reasons.)

In The Netherlands a lot of highways have time-dependent speed limits, and some have traffic-dependent speed limits. The fixed time-dependent speed limit (a lot have 120 or 100km/h during the day and 130km/h during the night) should be easy to implement. But an option to report live speed limits would also be great for the traffic-dependent ones.

It will be great to give an opportunity to the notificatiaon about temporary speed limits. It should be an warn with the start and the end of speed limit. To this function is neccesarly an option: what kind of speedalert is the valid in a case of temporary speed limit?
