Optional Audible Speed Limit, Speed Camera & Mobile Camera Warnings
I’d like Waze to add more user-selectable audible warning options so drivers don’t need to keep looking at the screen to check their speed or upcoming enforcement locations.
Ideally, under Alerts & Reports / Speedometer, users could independently enable:
• Audible overspeed warning — play a sound when the driver exceeds the current road speed limit, with the option to repeat periodically while still over the limit.
• Audible warning for all fixed speed cameras — regardless of whether the driver is currently above or below the speed limit.
• Stronger/different warning when approaching a camera while above the speed limit.
• Audible warning for reported mobile speed cameras / police enforcement locations.
The overspeed warning would be particularly useful when driving on unfamiliar roads or where speed limits change frequently. Rather than repeatedly looking at the phone or CarPlay display to confirm the current limit and vehicle speed, Waze could provide an audible notification when the limit is exceeded.
These should all be optional settings so users can choose the level of alerts they prefer.|
Suggested options:
• Audible warning when exceeding speed limit — On/Off
• Repeat overspeed warning while still above limit — On/Off
• Alert audibly for all fixed speed cameras — On/Off
• Extra warning when approaching camera above speed limit — On/Off
• Alert audibly for reported mobile cameras — On/Off
This would make Waze much more useful hands-free and reduce the need to keep checking the display while driving.
