I agree and feel that having the posted speed limit as a display option near the current GPS speed (different position/font/color) would be very valuable

Yes, this would be great actually. In my area, cops don't generally bother pulling you over unless you are going 15mph over the speed limit (though some exceptions do apply), because it's jus tnot worth enough money until then.

Great idea. Would complete the waze experience

I actually think this is a great idea. Hertz GPS has this option.

Magellan used to have it until the company got bought out and they end up using crappy GPS software. I heard they brought feature back again.

It's very useful and you don't have to keep checking your speedometer. I like to see more GPS companies have this feature.

I wish Waze would add speed limits to the maps and then monitor my speed and notify me when I exceed the speed limit by a variable amount of speed (which I can set). It would also be great if it could tell me when slightly in advance of downward changes in speed limit.

how black do you suppose the kettle is?

This is a fantastic feature in Navigon, and I hope to see it some day in Waze.

In Navigon, the maximum speed limit is pictured on the screen and changes each time you start down a new road. I don't know how they do this, but it's great. It seriously keeps my lead foot lighter.

Add the speed limit for each road, esspecially when there isva camera...

Speed limits with ding to indicate changes, could charge $5 per year.

Why only on iOS? It shoud be done on android and win app too.

The user should always see the maximum allowed speed, so he won't exceed it.
