"We plan to work on Speed Limit Change Alert in the near future"

Halo, now we have almost November 2023.
WHEN CAN WE USE IT?

Option for voice assistance teling: speed limit 30, speed limit 70,... It would be great to have such a voice notification to not miss sign that were hidden by truck ;)

I'd be happy with a simple audio cue, where you get an ascending chime if the speed limit on the segment is higher than the previous segment, and a descending chime if the speed limit on the segment is lower than the previous segment. This would help keep it non intrusive.

I'm curious about those comments that suggests this feature already exists, if it does then it's a hidden feature that is not obvious on how to enable.

You can set the app to always show the speed limit. It dings every time you go to a new road segment with a speed limit set if speeding.

This is an unnecessary addition.

Is there any update on this, this might be helpful for new unreported speed traps ?

It would be awesome if you could add speed limit icons on the map, so you can see that there is camera coming, and the speed limit is about to change right before camera.

I totally agree. Would be verrrrrrrrry helpful. Should have toggle on/ off option

"Caution: Reduced Speed Ahead"

Please add the voice alert to speed camera despite driving under the speed limit. Many streets have changing speed limits. The option will be fabulous

Great idea

Can you provide a warning maybe 10 seconds or so before a speed limit changes to a lower limit?
A change to a higher limit is not important as that does not risk a ticket, but right now Waze informs (In very small and hard to read way) that the speed limit changed but usually 2-10 seconds after passing the speed sign. That could be too late and a ticket issued.

I set to alert when 10 percent over speed limit. What happens when I exceed that, is that the speed limit icon gets bigger for 2 seconds and that's all. If I stare at the phone screen the entire time while I'm driving, which is dangerous, especially when speeding, then I might see that. But otherwise that will almost certainly be missed. Can you make that persistent and the speeding warning fill most or all of the screen or keep flashing it until not speeding anymore?
Also, If I specify that 10 percent over the speed limit is okay, than I would not want the speed indicator to go from white to red until I exceed that 10 percent. The way it is now is that it goes red if I go 51 in a 50 zone. Most people go a little over the speed limit and it should only change to red when the speed limit plus the overage allowance set in Waze is exceeded.
Also, there should be an aural warning when speeding.

Totally agree, it would have to be an option to enable by the user, not default behaviour. Thanks for the chat on Discord about this topic :)

While I think this a good idea, there is the potential for alert fatigue. We don't map railway crossings because of this and speed limit changes are more prevalent. For example one route can have 3 (or more) changes within 5 minutes.

Warning when approaching changing speed limit. I find myself speeding because I missed a sign. A tone 1/4 mile out, or so, would be beneficial.

Love this idea, thanks for posting.

I've been wanting this for years!

Agree with this! We’re on a road trip through various states and sometimes we miss the speed limit changes, especially at night. An option to enable speed limit change voice announcements would be nice. Like “speed limit X miles an hour”. Only when it goes from one speed limit to another, not every time theres a sign. A secondary option to only play a chime could be added as well in case you don’t want the voice announcement. This would help keep us out of trouble, particularly in unfamiliar places.
