1. Display actual GPS speed and not car’s info

   When connected to CarPlay the speed on the supposedly gps speed in Waze always shows a 1km/h difference compared to that on the speedometer (at least in my case)
   When NOT connected to CarPlay the difference is larger. At 90 km/h on the speedometer the speed in Waze is 85 km/h and at 140 the speed on Waze is 130. (Actual GPS speed)
   When connecting to CarPlay a message says that the phone will use selected data from the car and this includes the car’s speed. However, this value is not accurate.
   My request is for me to be able to choose whether or not to use car’s data or the data from my phone’s gps. I know this is not exclusive to Waze and is present in every app with some kind of speed value, so it’s not up to you for fixing it, but I’ll take my chance :)

2. Opposite speed camera reporting and differentiate between front and rear facing speed cameras

   Suggestion 1:
   Sometimes, when driving, there is a police officer with a camera on the opposite side of the road. However, the app doesn’t have an option to report a “camera on the opposite side,” so we are forced to mark it as “police on the opposite side.” It would be helpful to have a specific option for reporting such cases.

   Suggestion 2:
   Speed cameras generally fall into two categories: those that measure speed from the front of the vehicle and those that measure it from the rear. It would be great if Waze could distinguish between these two types so drivers can be aware of the kind of speed camera they are approaching

3. Option to turn off alerts for speed cameras on regularly traveled roads

   It is helpful to have speed camera alerts on roads you’re new to or rarely travel on.

   However it’s disruptive when you get alerts for speed cameras you regularly pass while commuting.

   Using basic pattern recognition software on regular routes drivers could be provided the option to turn off camera alerts for the specific route(s).

5. specify speed limit menu report

   I think the app should have a quick menu for speed limit reports when clicking the speedometer or something. When the menu shows up it will have some specific value that the user can choose and the editor doesn't need to comment on the report ticket

6. Use the internal camera in powerfull smartphones to automatic scan for speed limits signs

   Use the internal camera in powerfull smartphones to automatic scan for speed limits signs and show them in waze and also add this speedlimits automatic to the database for all other users. This could help to add more actual speed infos in waze.

   Speed limits are added by editors by means of Waze Map Editor. Using phone cameras to detect limits on the fly would be a feature complex to implement and unreliable to use given the circumstances.

9. Being able to customise/modify the sound for the speed limit alert

   The sound for the speed limit alert is too weak. It'd be nice to have an option to change the tone for this alert.

   Personally I want it to be as obtrusive and as obnoxious as possible

10. SPLIT: I don’t like that others can see my speed

11. Allow users to suggest speed limit corrections

    Currently, speed limits on the map can only be updated by map editors. This process is slow, especially when the main source of information, like Google Street View, is outdated. This leads to inaccurate speed limits or missing data on many road segments.
    This suggestion is to add a new reporting option that allows any user to suggest a correction to the speed limit. This would not directly change the speed limit on the map, but it would create a "pending edit" for map editors to review and approve.
    How it would work:
    A new "Map Issue" report could be introduced, allowing users to report an "Incorrect Speed Limit." When this option is selected, the user would be prompted to press a button at the start of the road segment where the new speed limit sign is located, and another button at the end of the segment where the speed limit changes again. This way, the system can automatically determine the exact length of the segment that needs to be corrected. This report would then be flagged for review by local map editors.
    Benefits of this feature:
    • Faster updates: Allows for quicker corrections of outdated speed limits, as thousands of users can provide real-time data from the road.
    • Improved map accuracy: Ensures that the displayed speed limits are always current and correct, leading to a safer and more reliable navigation experience.
    • Empowered community: Gives all Waze users a direct way to contribute to the accuracy of the map, beyond just reporting hazards.
    • Reduced workload for editors: Editors would no longer have to manually search for outdated segments. Instead, they would only need to verify and approve user-submitted changes, making their work more efficient.
    This feature would bridge the gap between static map data and real-time road conditions, making Waze even more accurate and community-driven.

12. Allow user to adjust the speed of audio/TTS annoucements (0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x)

    Spotify and YouTube allow users to control the speed of audios or videos.

    You can play audios or videos at speeds of 0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x and 3x.

    I suggest the same should apply to Waze.

    Audio or TTS announcements could be faster or slower depending on the user's preferences.

    - 110 km/h when limited to 130 km/h,
    - 100 km/h when limited to 110 km/h,
    - 80 km/h on bidirectionnal road limited to 90km/h.
    I would like to be able to define these parameters in order to optimize my route.

15. The vehicle speed set to 0 and map display jumps on GPS blinds spots

    The Speed Problem:
    I noticed that when the car enters a cave my speed per hour gets reset back to 0 and when I leave the cave it goes back.

    Plus - The Map Display Problem:
    When I get inside the cave the map display feature of the car/arrow icon stops working:
    (the car/arrow icon would stop moving and then jump back to the end of the cave when I leave).

    I believe that the map feature and speed is working by gps to locate the vehicle location and time to calculate the speed which makes the car km/h / m/h to be not accurate:
    Meaning that when I enter a blind spot from gps, the car location won't be changed and the map display of the car would just stay put ,
    Plus - When the car location is not changing then the cars speed would be set to 0 by the calculation cause it's using only the location change over time.

    My solution to this problem is to make an option which you can take the speed from the car itself without having the trouble of calculating it yourself. -

    Most people of this time have already made the switch to electric vehicles which have the base "computer" inside of them which shows the driver their speed and allows them to download certain apps to their vehicle such as Spotify and Itunes.
    Plus - For some of those vehicles the Waze app could be added.
    Meaning that the Waze app would be able to request from the car the ability to track its speed.

    With this solution we can find out exactly at what speed the car is driving at all times without worrying about calculations.

    With this information we can also know roughly the exact location of the car.
    How do we do it?
    Simple. We just take the speed of the car and multiply it with the time that has passed.
    For example:
    Speed = 90km/h
    We would place a constant variable for the Time to be 1 Second that would not change ( it would mean that the map display would change every 1 second)
    Then:
    We calculate it by this equation:
    Distance = Speed in km/h * Time in hours

    For our example:
    First we need to change it from km/h to m/h:
    90 / 3.6 = 25 m/s
    Then Distance = Speed * Time:
    Distance = 25m/s * 1s
    Distance = 25 meters

    After that we can know the distance the car traveled the past second, and we can add it to the map along the road.
    And I know what you all think.
    WHAT IF the Car driver choose to reverse or change a path in the middle of the road.
    And that's why this function would ONLY work where there is no connection to GPS, and then when we get back connection to GPS the car would jump back to the location from the GPS.

    There for we can now know the exact location of the car on the road, Plus - we can know its speed at any given time(NOTE: This feature could replace the current way of speed tracking on any road).

    Another Solution IF we can't use the vehicle speed:
    We can also use the vehicle speed for the past 5 seconds before going into the blind spot + use other cars past records speeds of driving in that road and the speed numbers of vehicle users there are on the same road at the moment, and get the average speed of all of them.
    The way we can know the speed of vehicle users who drove this road in the past?:
    Simple,
    we just do the exact same equation from before just placing the time as the time they spent on the road and the distance of the road.

    And then we know the speed and we can find the location of the vehicle on the map just like we did before.

    That's my solution I hope you liked my detailed explanation and give me a feedback!
    If you have any questions let me know on my work Email: Astrom.Chiprut@gmail.com

    The Speed Problem:
    I noticed that when the car enters a cave my speed per hour gets reset back to 0 and when I leave the cave it goes back.

    Thank you for your suggestion!
    This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
    Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram.

17. During radar warning speed limit is not visible

    During radar warning the "current speedlimit" is shifted above and disappears under the "next direction change information". Then you can not see the speed you are actually driving during the speed control, this please needs improvement.

18. Show temporary speed limits in construction zones

    Temporary Speed Limits for Roadworks & Construction Zones
    This suggestion aims to enhance road safety and improve the accuracy of Waze navigation by implementing a feature that displays temporary speed limits in real-time. These are the limits indicated by the yellow or orange signs on portable stands often found in road repair and construction zones.
    Currently, Waze primarily relies on static, permanent speed limits for a given road segment. However, in areas with ongoing roadworks, the official speed limit is often temporarily reduced to ensure the safety of both drivers and road workers. Without this information being reflected in the app, Waze may still indicate the higher, permanent speed limit, which could lead to confusion and unsafe driving behavior.
    How it would work:
    Users could report a temporary speed limit change in a manner similar to reporting a road hazard or other alerts. A new category could be added to the reporting menu, such as "Temporary Speed Limit". The user would then be prompted to select the new, temporary speed limit and the length of the road segment affected.
    Benefits of this feature:
    • Increased Road Safety: By alerting drivers to lower speed limits in construction zones, Waze would help prevent accidents and protect the lives of both drivers and road workers. This is the primary and most critical benefit of this feature.
    • Improved Navigation Accuracy: The app would provide more precise and up-to-date guidance, ensuring that the displayed speed limit matches the real-world conditions.
    • Enhanced Community Participation: This feature would empower Waze users to contribute valuable, dynamic data, making the app even more responsive and community-driven. It would foster a sense of shared responsibility for road safety.
    • Seamless User Experience: The implementation could be simple and intuitive. Once reported, the temporary speed limit would be displayed on the map, similar to how other reports (e.g., traffic jams, road closures) are shown. The system could be designed so that these temporary reports automatically expire after a certain period (e.g., 24-48 hours) to ensure the information remains current.
    In summary, adding the ability to report and display temporary speed limits is a logical and crucial next step in making Waze the most comprehensive and safety-oriented navigation app. It addresses a real-world issue that affects millions of drivers daily and aligns perfectly with Waze's mission to outsmart traffic together. This feature would not only make navigation more accurate but, more importantly, would make our roads safer for everyone.
