Average Speed / ANPR Camera Reporting
As well as normal Gatso type speed cameras, increasingly automatic number plate recognition / average speed cameras are used in the uk. Being able to report them & their speed limit, and having a notification that you're within the average limit would be priceless.
Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Very good suggestion!

When in an average speed camera enforced zone it would cool if the green progress bar turned red when my average speed exceeds the limit

I really want that feature!

In italian highways, there's a system called "tutor". It's different from a speed trap. Between two points, they calculate your average speed. If you go over the limit with your average at the moment you reach the end of a segment, you are fined. Your position inside the segmebt could be represented with something similar to the fantastic queue indicator, just adding an average speed indicator that's going to automatically reset with each segment.

I think there should be speed-sensitive (or just longer) warning distance on higher speeds (say over 140km/h).
A few weeks ago I drove through Germany (which has no speed limits on highways). That "1 kilometer" warning before "exit" is barely enough to change lanes, start braking etc. when doing 160km/h or more.
btw, Go...e M..s warns you 3 km ahead on highways, which is comfortable.

Agreed!

I agree that when travelling over the speed limit needs some sort of flagging, and red seems appropriate. However, when driving with the iPhone on the dashboard in bright light, the red/black actual speed that is shown now does not provide enough contrast to easily note the current speed. All I know is that I am over the limit without picking up the phone and looking at it closely. A bad thing. A dark red background with white numbers should provide the red and the daylight contrast.

In the Netherlands and Belgium, there are some places that do not monitor the current speed of cars, but the average speed over a longer "sections". These come up as a starting "speed camera" and end camera. It would be priceless to have a "section control" feature that displays your average speed between the start and end point of the sections.

+1 from Belgium. Please add this, i'm now using splitscreen for average speed detection cameras, it works but if its implemented in waze would be great!

While using the app on a motorcycle in full daylight the speed displayed in red (exceeding the limit) against the black background is mostly unreadable (I do have color deficiency). Consider using a white background with the red numerals or outling the numerals in white to provide better constrast.

knowing average speed between tutor control check point may help drivers to avoid fine

In France we have radar sections (radar tronçon) and the danger zones, indicating a, are very poorly managed, a special warning should be created and a calculation of the average speed in this area.

If they want inspiration... iCoyote already has it.

Police have implemented "Average Speed Over Distance" cameras on some of the roads in our area and on some of the highways. It would be nice to have a feature where you could "mark" these cameras and the client could calculate your average speed when between marks to prevent exceeding the average speed limit over the distance between.

Display average speed on roads outside the city. When the speed exceeds 10km / h average speed, alarm. Help drivers on an unknown road

Create a setting to allow the user to establish a threshold that will cause the speed indicator to pulse, change color or flash to indicate the setting is exceeded. When it flashes, allow the user to adjust it up or down.

Slightly stolen from another app. but I'm sure this is not patentable!
Can we have it that if you need to monitor your average speed between two points (Cameras, Toll booths, Rally Racing ETC)
Something you can start then stop at any point. A simple feature that would be huge. to tie it in to the application you could have it auto ask if you have entered an average speed area and if you want to report it.
Use the start and stop to mark the road.

I am sure WAZE has missed a trick but don't slate them for not doing it. they are providing a FREE product. And a good one at that. Adding 100 features at once makes a product unreliable. you add and test a few then add some more.

Average speed is also used in norway
