Allow negative speed offset (reduce the speed warning threshold)
It It would be really helpful if Waze allowed us to adjust the speed offset in both directions — not only to add km/h, but also to subtract.
In my case, my car’s speedometer consistently shows 5 km/h faster than the real speed shown in Waze/GPS. I tested this many times and it’s always the same difference.
Because of this, I’d like to set the speed alert to something like:
✅ “Warn me when I’m less than 5 km/h below the speed limit”
(or essentially: allow a -5 km/h offset)Right now, Waze only allows adding extra km/h above…

Add "unlimited speed limit" sign for Germany
In Germany, 70% of the highways have to actual speed limit. This is currently idicated by no speed limit sign at all. However, this might also mean that the speed limit is unknown.
Instead, the "unlimited" speed sign could be used that is used in Germany to indicate that no speed limit applies anymore (link to an image: https://www.bussgeldkatalog.org/wp-content/uploads/282.png) This is sign 282.This could be easily accomplished by either adding a checkbox to the editor to set that no speed limit applies, but this might requite some engineering.
An easier solution would be to only update the app…3 votes -
Speed trap takes up too much screen space
On iOS (and maybe other phones), the speed trap notifications take up over 1/4 of the screen. When driving through London where there's hundreds of speed traps, the notification often hides the next turning (particularly annoying when the roads in London are so close together)!
I know it's possible to turn off speed trap notifications, but can you reduce the size of this screen so I can still see the turnings?

Make a difference between a solo police speed radar control and traject control.
When you enter a traject speed control zone, it would be great to have a time bar in the display, just the way it is shown during traffic jam. Off course for traject speed contole zone, it should be in a other color

Custom Speed Alert threshold
I wish there was a way to set my speed alert at seven or eight or nine mph over the limit not just 5 or 10

Location of the Speed Limit and Speed on Android Auto
For Australian users, I would like to see the Speed Limit and Speedometer shown on the left of the map. This is because it is covered by our left hand when holding the steering wheel, because the driver sits on the right hand side of the vehicle. I cannot see either the speed limit or speedometer without moving my hand off the wheel.

Speed Bump Permanent Hazard Notifications Persistence
The notifications for speed bump style permanent hazards should not stay on screen, once the driver has already driven past it. It does not add any meaningful information to the drive and only acts as a distraction or blocks part of the screen.

Option to Disable Specific Alerts, Including Speed Bump Notifications
I would like to request an option in Waze to allow users to disable specific types of notifications, such as speed bump alerts. While these notifications can be useful, they can become overwhelming in areas with numerous speed bumps. Having the ability to customize which alerts are enabled would greatly improve the driving experience and reduce distraction.

continuous speed limit alerts
Waze currently only alerts you once if you are speeding. Suggesting an option to allow to keep alerting every X number of min or seconds.

Add routes that *avoid* red light and speed cameras similar to routes that avoid tolls.
Similar to routes that avoid tolls there should be routes that avoid speed cameras and red light cameras.

Allow to add speed cameras directly in the map editor and/or change their type (speed/light)
Currently you cannot add a speed camera without reporting it on the spot with your app and then go approve it in the map editor.. This slows down the process if you are in the editor and see a camera is missing and don't want to drive there to add it.
Changing the type of existing ones could help correct mistakes when people report a wrong type of camera.7 votes -
The shortest route in terms of time should take account of a reduced speed compared with the maximum speed
My employer wants me to drive with a reduced speed below the speed limits :
- 110 km/h on roads limited to 130 km/h
- 100 km/h on roads limited to 110 km/h.
I can't set those maximum speeds into the Waze settings.
The path with the shortest time depends on the maximal speed a vehicle has on each type of road.4 votes -
Maximum Speed info box when crossing a border
When crossing borders if would be interesting to have a little popup infobox appear on the screen which summarizes the different speeds allowed in the country to which you have crossed the border to.
For example when i'm driving from Luxembourg to France, when crossing the border into France, i would get the info that
1) on Tolled Freeways the max speed is 130 kph
2) Non Tolled Freeways max speed 110 kph.
3) Minor Highway 80kph and etc.When i drive into Germany.
1) Freeway 130 kph
2) Minor highway 90 kph
3) in the city 50 kph10 votes -
The road speed is too small, the speed I am going is less important as you can see this already in your vehicle,
Please swap the vehicle speed as that’s bigger & less important with the road speed
I have to keep swapping to google maps to check road speed as Waze too small

Speed Cameras in Cities
Would be amazing to get warnings about where speed cameras are located, specifically in San Francisco and other California cities where they have recently added speed cameras within the city. Thanks! Waze 4 life

Eliminate police speed check reporting in residential neighborhoods
Allow POAs, HOAs, and other residential communities to provide WAZE with information to create a geofence around the community that can restrict POLICE reporting. All other features could remain in place.
Our community is loaded with children and the money we spend on speed patrols is wasted through the ability to notify other speeders, through Waze, as to the whereabouts of the speed traps within neighborhoods! There is a major difference between speeding in residential neighborhoods vs highways and city streets. Think about how this could save children. Exclude residential neighborhoods.

Speed limits not correct for the whole of the Netherlands
Dear Waze,
The speed limits have changed in the Netherlands since March 2020. All you speed limits are incorrect throughout the whole country.
These are the new ones, only for highways, but in national level!!!
So this applies for the complete country!From 19h (7 pm) to 6h (6 am) = 130 kilometer per hour
From 6h (6 am) to 19h (7 pm) = 100 kilometer per hourYour set speed limits are completely wrong in the app.
Just to let you know
Best regards

Speed Limit indicators on map
It would add to safer driving to have speed limit changes show up as standard indicators on the map while driving, meaning seeing them approach just like any other indicator on the map.
Current issues/reasons:
1. In South Africa we have many areas where the speed limit road signs are missing. I count four that are missing on my daily route alone, and this is extremely dangerous with frequent sudden braking necessary immediately after realizing the speed limit has changed without prior notice.
2. There are often speed cameras directly after a speed limit change, which is a nice little…2 votes
