Variable Speed Limit Sign Integration
Here in Northeast Ohio in our construction zones we have "Variable Speed Limit" signs. They are used to reduce the speed limit on a streth of road only when the work zone is active. Example stretches are the Interstate 271/480 stretch in Bedford and again on Interstate 480 in Parma. The 271/480 signs will be in use til 2021 according to the construction plan.
There are several solutions:
1) When entering reported construction zone there could be a pop up presented asking for current speed with known work zone MPH listed (see below)
2) After pressing the speedometer/speed…16 votes -
insufisant speed limit notification
Hello and Happy New Year to all.
It remains for me 2 major gaps for waze and one interesting improvement.
- The sound alert only when over speeding is insuffisant and already cost me 1pt on my licence when I accelerate to overtake. ..
You can not look at the screen constantly we must keep an eye on the road. Then configurable audible signal for danger zones is therefore indispensable.
- The speed is not displayed or set as she is known by the apk.For the improvement is to advertise only hazards on the road on which flows…

speed / progress estimation
In areas where there is no GPS available, expecially in tunnels, what about a speed / progress estimation? This could be based on:
1) let's say.. 80%-90% of speed before entering a tunnel
2) if other wazers drove through that tunnel shortly before, you should know when they entered and left the tunel and so approximate the speed in the tunnel.This would have several advantages:
1) no "jumping" on map, no "jumping" in ETA (as now you stand at the beginning of the tunnel and then jump to the end)
2) when there is something to report in the…15 votesGreat news! Simulating the navigation while driving in a tunnel is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Add more option then just police
We have the option to alert police are in a certain place, which people put when there are speed cameras. I think there should be a camera alert for speed cameras and the police alert be used for RBT set ups, when highway patrol are out with speed guns etc.

Variable speed
Show the slower speed for variable speed zones.
In Melbourne Australia there are many variable speed zones where the slower speed is set for a longer period. Eg. 40km between 7am and midnight. That should be the speed set for that area as that is the speed for the majority of the day, not the higher speed.3 votes -
speed camera hours of operation
Recently a speed camera was installed along my drive. The camera is active only during school bussing/student times, that would be early morning, and early afternoon. There are several also when I drive to Richmond VA that are the same way, and having hours that its active .. with an "active" or "inactive" verbal alert would be helpful. .. eg .. Active School Zone Speed Camera .. or "Active Speed Camera Ahead"

Announcements depending on speed
I recommend that Waze adjust the "trigger distance" for pre-alerts when traveling quickly.
For example, currently Waze pre-alerts "In one-tenth of a mile ..." regardless of speed.
If you are driving 60 MPH, you cover the one-tenth of a mile in a mere 6-seconds ... by that time, Waze is already alerting you (AGAIN) that it's time to make the turn.
I'm all for voice alerts ... but when the app gabs for 10-seconds straight because of back-to-back announcements, eh....

Speed trap
When speed trap notification pops up. Tachometer becomes hidden behind the directions element. That makes it impossible to read current speed and also max speed limit. Maybe the possible cause is scaled system UI. I think the speed trap notification could popup small in the corner.

Speed limit sometimes covers current speed
Currently when I rapidly accelerate, like when passing on a 2 lane road, the speedlimit box becomes larger and covers my current speed indicator. And this is usually when I need to know my current speed the most! Please put an option to disable this behavior. I want to keep current speed limit and current speed on screen at all times, do not make the speedlimit cover up my current speed at any time.
Thank you.

Optimal Speed Suggestion
If there's a big traffic jam at a point 2/3 of the way to my destination, it may not help me get there on time if I drive at full speed or over the speed limit up to the point of the jam. Waze could set my suggested driving speed lower for a more even pace over the course of the trip. In some cases, a lower driving speed may help me conserve fuel (and thereby create a smaller carbon footprint) and if many drivers use this we may see safer roads as fewer people speed around rushing to get…

Speed limit/Speedometer
Recent change to the speed limit sign being pushed to the right vs being on the lower left is not working. I have to search for it. Also any alerts covers up the speed icon. Also the left hand part of the screen is useless as everything pushed to the right. In busy traffic conditions this can be dangerous.

Temporary speed limits
Option to report reduced speed limits due to road works (construction).
Option would be for reduced speed ahead. Would be useful to know of upcoming congestion

Enlarge posted speed and actual speed.
I love WAZE and use it everyday. However, the graphics in Garmin are far superior. Please try to improve the graphics. Also, please enlarge the posted speed and actual speed at the screen upper right b at least 1/3.

Earlier notification of mobile and static speed cameras
Current speed camera alerts occur too late and usually when the camera can be seen which by then is too late. Earlier warning along with the speed limit would be a great enhancement to the app.

Auto-pause voice-nav-alert prompts based on GPS speed
While temporarily stopped for fuel, groceries, restroom breaks, it's annoying to hear turn left at State Road 19 navigation prompts from my back pocket. Can you automatically silence voice prompts based on gps speed? Of course this would need to be a user preference config. I saw a manual pause feature request, but I imagine drivers would get annoyed if they forget to re-enable it. The tech exists to auto-pause / auto-resume.

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)
