Speed limit
Please allow us to remove the digital speedometer, and instead show a much larger speed limit for the road! The current speed limit sign is very small on some displays, and since every car already has a speedometer, I would like the option to remove it from the app and just show a large icon for speed limit only
We changed the status back to "Under Consideration" and hope to have news on this idea in the future. Thanks and have a great day.

Exaktly! Speed limit display is to small! Speedometer is build in car. I only need the speed limit but in a better size, though that it is readable.

Afficher en permanence la LIMITE de VITESSE en cours ( entourée de rouge ) pour connaitre marge d'accélération

These 2 are heavily asked for on the Internet and needed in order to actually make Waze somewhat PERFECT for the average user and drivers of old age:
1) THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN: There should be an option to DISABLE THE SPEEDOMETER but KEEP the SPEEDLIMIT SIGN. This is because all cars have a speedometer and this should be an option rather than removing the speed limit SIGN with it. If someone needs the speedometer then they should be able to turn it on or off without effecting the speedlimit sign.
2) THE STREET NAME BUBBLE: This should also be an option to turn such a feature On or Off. I've had encounters where the bubble is large and distracting that it is covering my route almost making me miss a turn. APPS SHOULD BE HERE TO AID DRIVERS AND NOT TO DISTRACT THEM OR TO ADD SO MANY FEATURES THAT HINDER DRIVING ABILITY BECAUSE THEY CAUSE CONFUSION OR REQUIRE MORE FOCUSING ON THE APP RATHER THAN THE ROAD.
Simplicity is key. These 2 features are not even hard to implement. All that is required is 1) to separate the speed limit from the speedometer option 2) add a button to turn on or off the street name bubbles. Just by adding these small things it will make user experience so much more pleasurable and enjoyable

Yes please - I had the same idea and was going to post it as an original idea but it looks like im too late :) YES we need the speed icon at least 50% larger AND I reckon it needs to be in the top left corner ??

Actuellement nous pouvons savoir la limitation de vitesse uniquement si elle est dépassée. Il faudrait que si nous cliquons, par exemple sur la vitesse où nous roulons en bas à gauche, que la vitesse autorisée apparaisse de la même façon que quand on la dépasse. Cela permettrait aux gens qui ont un doute sur la réglementation de ne pas accélérer comme un malade pour se dire « ah .,. En fait c’était 90 »

Have the option to be able to show the speed limit without having to have the speed odometer turned on

Eu gostaria de sugerir que o ícone que mostra o limite de velocidade fosse maior ou que exista a possibilidade de aumenta - lo, porque a maioria das pessoas acima de 40 anos tem dificuldade para enxergar

Increase the speed limit by the circular icon. The circular speed icon is redundant because all cars have a speedometer

Of course this will never happen because us users with imperfect eyesight are in a minority of users and this suggestion (necessity !!!!) will never get many votes from the majority of users who have good vision because the size is large enough for them so they care not.
Not really very fair is it ..... -

By the way I would probably use Waze all the time if the speeding warnings and display sizes were improved.
The other apps I use ("Here we Go" and "Offline Maps and Navigation") are very good and more reliable for me but their lane guidance is not as good as the brilliant lane direction graphics in Waze. -

Totally agree with anonymous.
I think it is absolutely ridiculous having an overspeed warning alarm that does not sound every time the speed limit is exceeded.
I only use navigation apps when I am in unfamiliar areas and speed limits are a very big part of why I use these apps.
If I am on a street that is limited at 70 kph and I go over the limit and get the alarm that is good.
I may then immediately have to turn from this street onto a side street.
I do not know the area so have no idea of the limit.
It may be 50 kph and I may go over this limit
BUT !!! because the alarm has just now sounded on the previous street I do not get the alarm warning .
Guess what ? this is just where the speed trap is (hypothetical) and I get fined for speeding.
See my point ???
What good is an over speed alarm that does not sound every time.
For those that don't want alarms going off all the time why not just turn it off. -

Great Idea Craig
But surely we shouldn't have to do that.
I am no tech but cannot see how it would be difficult for the developers to change the size or make it customizable -

Totally agree !!!!!!!
Please !! Please !! make the speed limit display much larger
My eyes are just OK for driving and cannot wear bi focal glasses so impossible for me to see the display. Cannot see the point of having the display if surely many people like me cannot clearly see it.
For those that don't want it bigger maybe have the option to adjust it to suitable size.
Please I cannot use Waze with this tiny display .
It's a shame because the lane guidance graphics are excellent.
"Here we Go " or "offline maps and navigation" have much better speed limit display and also the over speed alarm sounds every time I go over and not only after a timed interval.

This is a safety request, as stated by others, the sign is too small!
This should be optional maybe, setting the size (three sizes maybe? Or % of screen size in the car?) and position on the screen also?
I hope this will be a priority :)

I've a smaller mobile phone (iPhone SE) that I use for navigation and find the current speed and speed limit info very helpful although it's a little hard to see on a small screen.
Having the option to make those symbols larger (maybe having a small/medium/large icon size option) would be a fantastic feature to have.
C'mon Waze - make it happen please! -

I couldn't agree more. Even when displayed on the dashboard screen, the speed limit is too small to read. The speedometer is redundant, as previously stated. That space could be better used by expanding the size of the speed limit sign.
