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.

This suggestion box is for Waze Map Editor suggestions. It sounds like this suggestion should go in the Waze app suggestion box

I would love to hear announcements of speed changes. My brother has MS, and mentioned it to me as well as he always has his eyes on the road and is worried about missing signs. Some highways like I-66 change the speeds multiple times in a few miles and it's hard for some to keep up with the changes. Thanks so much!.

Yes, the speed alert chime is too quiet. Use Velociraptor instead.

On the map show an extra speed limit sign on the road at the point where the current limit will change, so that I can plan and reduce speed in advance of a change that is just round the next bend.

Would be great if Waze showed you upcoming speed limit changes, like in Sygic. Waze clearly already has all the data, so to know about a specific speed change ahead would be fantastic

This could also help reduce driver distraction by allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Good idea.

I realize Waze can show the speed limit on screen and alert when a user goes over the speed limit, but the app does not make any kind of auditory alert when there is a speed limit change (ex: “The speed limit is now 70 MPH”)

Such an alert would be useful because if a driver could know that the speed limit has been, say, raised from 60 to 65, he or she can then drive faster sooner. It might otherwise take 5 or 10 minutes before the driver notices the speed limit was raised - by seeing this on the screen.

It would be great to have a notification about change of speed limit, the same as hazard on the road notification (for example "in 800 meters speed limit is 50"). This way you would know when you should decrease your speed instead of hitting brakes once you suddenly reach new speed limit.

I use ways extensively. And find I'm having issues staying in control of the speed limit. Lol
Wouldn't be too difficult to have speed alert changes like you do railroad crossings?

A speed limit change alert would help with not getting tickets, I travel a lot and don't often see changes in the speed limit due to traffic blocking the signs as i pass. A simple alert sound would let me know to look at my phone for a sec for the new posted speed and slow down or speed up accordingly.

Hello Waze Team,

I find speed change sound which comes currently is not at all audible and it will go unnoticed 99 times out of 100.

Similar to how upcoming speed camera notification is announced 100 mtr ahead, why not announce speed limit change 100mt ahead which will help users a lot since there might be a camera right after speed limit change.

I recently had to bare the brunt of this by paying speeding fine as there was a speeding camera right after the speed change.

A very useful feature if you could (which I am sure you can) implement.

I whole heartedly vote for this feature since I find speed change sound which comes currently is not at all audible and it will go unnoticed 99 times out of 100.

Exactly - must have feature! Add voice speed limit change alert.

+ It would be nice to know the speed limits in advance.

+ Also let people to turn ON this feature by themselves so they can't complain it's annoying

Use voice alerts to advise uses of speed limit changes

I hope this will include speed cameras?

Create advanced speed limit sound notifications submenu:
1. Repeat warning sound each 10 sec until slow down
2. Change sound - shout, alarm, simple ding, etc.
3. Option may be switched for professional drivers

Currently Waze will notify you when you have exceeded the limit. Even that sound is not loud enough.
But once exceed the limit, it never warns you again till you drop below the speed limit and exceed.

What I suggest is that Waze warn the driver every 50 seconds you are driving over the speed limit.
