Optional persistent reminder while inside an active school zone
Waze already provides an alert when a driver enters an active school zone, which is very helpful. However, once that initial alert has passed, there is no ongoing indication that the driver is still within the active school zone.
In real driving conditions, drivers may stop at traffic lights, turn onto side streets, or continue driving for several minutes within the same school zone. Over time, the initial alert can fade from awareness, even though the zone is still active.
Consider adding an optional, low‑distraction persistent reminder while the vehicle remains inside an active school zone (for example, a configurable periodic chime or brief reminder). This could help reinforce driver awareness and encourage continued attention to speed and surroundings throughout the zone, without requiring additional interaction.
This would build on existing school‑zone data and alerts, and could be fully user‑configurable to avoid alert fatigue.

This is intended to complement the existing entry alert, not replace it. The goal is simply to help maintain awareness during longer or interrupted school‑zone drives while keeping alerts minimal and optional.
