Driving with speed limitation, caravans for example.
Dear Waze Team,
First of all, thank you for an outstanding app that continues to improve travel experiences worldwide. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly benefit drivers who tow caravans or trailers – or who, for any reason, are legally required to drive at lower speeds than regular traffic.
Currently, Waze assumes standard vehicle behavior and speed limits. However, in many countries (such as across Europe), towing a trailer legally restricts drivers to lower speeds – often 80 km/h on highways, regardless of the posted limit. This discrepancy affects both estimated time of arrival (ETA) and route optimization, especially over long distances.
Feature proposal:
- Add a “Towing / Low Speed Mode” option in vehicle settings
- Allow users to define a personal maximum speed (e.g., 80 km/h)
- Use this limit when calculating ETA and preferred routes
- Optional: warn against routes with weight/length/height restrictions
This addition would significantly improve accuracy and safety for thousands of users who travel with caravans, trailers, or heavy loads.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
