Speed monitoring for verbal alerting on fixed camera
There is no verbal alerting for fixed camera. I also noticed that Waze checks the speed of my car about 250 meters before the fixed camera. Afterwards, there is no longer a monitoring of the speed (during the last 250 meters before the camera). Therefore, if the driver increases the speed by lack of attention i.e. because he missed the message displayed on the Carplay screen, he becomes exposed (it was my case …). Would it be possible to develop the following improvement (as being an option in the configuration).

Time zone adjustment
Waze should adjust ETA to the local time when destination is a different time zone. When you leave Phoenix for southwest CO, for example, the ETA should be in mountain time, not AZ time. Currently, the ETA only adjusts when your phone automatically adjusts as you cross the time zone. It would be nice to know drive time is 6 hours, but ETA is 7 hours due to time change.

Horizontal app use: Show speed while music player is open
When app is being used horizontally & the music player is open, the "speed/speed limit" feature isn't visible. Would love to have an option to move it somewhere else or make the music player a bit smaller which would prevent having to open & close it as often just to check speed info. And on that note, the arrow to close the media player could be a tad bigger so that it requires less accuracy, reducing time with eyes off the road. Love this app though!

What about connecting Waze to OBD port so that waze can connect to a vehicle's cruise control and maintain speed under certain conditions?
Add a feature that connects waze to a vehicles OBD to help maintain speed through vehicles cruise control to maintain speed

Automatic unit selection based on location/country.
Suggestion for Automatic Speed Unit Switching in Waze
A pop-up window should appear when crossing into a country that uses a different speed unit (km/h or mph), allowing users to switch without interrupting navigation.
For example, I drive in the UK, where I use miles and mph. When I enter France, which uses kilometers and km/h, Waze could display a prompt:
“Would you like to switch to km/h?”
This would let me change the unit instantly instead of stopping navigation and digging through the settings menu.Alternatively, Waze could switch automatically based on location or offer a setting with options…

Have Waze automatically detect your speed on major roads
I drive the same busy highway every morning (I-64) here in the Hampton Roads of Virginia. A major section of it is under construction. Instead of passengers and/or drivers taking their eyes off the road to manually enter moderate/heavy/standstill traffic, it would be nice for Waze to automatically detect it and publish it to the map since there are enough people using Waze in this area. I'm sure an algorithm can be written that can detect Wazers within a 1-5 mile radius that are traveling at a particular speed and be able to automatically display the 'traffic speed' for…

Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation…

Speed alert for 2 mph over limit
Currently, you can select an alert if you are going above the speed limit (at all) or 5 mph over the limit.
I would like to suggest 2 mph.
5 mph is too much because by then, a cop will almost surely give a ticket without mercy. 5 mph over the limit is usually the informal grace limit.
But an alert for any mph over the limit is too sensitive. Even on cruise control, my car sometimes exceeds the limit by a fraction of a mph when I begin to go downhill. It takes a second for the…

Keep the last 5 min of your travel speed data so you can see if a cop is "inflating" your speed to give you a more expensive ticket.
Keep a rolling 5 minutes of your travel speed.

Suggestion to improve accuracy of speed camera reports
I would like to share a suggestion regarding the reporting of speed cameras in the Waze app.
Recently, I have noticed an increasing number of false speed camera reports along certain routes (for example, on the B469 near Aschaffenburg, Germany). In some cases, users appear to report multiple cameras along an entire stretch of road where none are present. This can be confusing for drivers and may reduce trust in the reliability of the reporting system.
To address this, I would like to propose a potential improvement: introducing a system that evaluates the accuracy of user reports over time.…

Enable speed and associated icons to be placed on the left or the right side of the navigation screen at drivers discretion
Currently speed icons only display on right side of navigation screen. I drive a right hand drive car and speed icons are obscured by steering wheel and indicator stalks. It would be nice to have option to display the icons on the left or the right side of navigation screen at driver's discretion to facilitate clearer display depending on car navigation screen installed position.

tollbooth, speed limit and precise location.
Add tollbooth to settings under alerts and report to be able to toggle on/off.
Option to use speed limit feature without speedometer.
Location is not precise. When making a turn the location updates after making the whole turn instead of following precise location while turning like other apps. Also, many times the map will show you at another location and it would start jumping locations like crazy.
Please take this suggestions under consideration. Waze is already the drivers' preferred app, don't let us have to deal with things like this that just make our experience uncomfortable and many …

Auto speed adjustment integration with cruise control and auto brake function. On highways only.
Because of fuel burned, brake pads worn, and accidents during traffic on highways and frustration of stopping on a highway for apparently no reason at all.
Wake has enough data on the highway to integrate with auto manufacturers Cruise Control and auto braking function to keep all traffic flowing a almost constant speed. Without the concertina effect caused by human speed adjustment error. Humans will never fully trust or do not want to wait for or would possibly even afford a self driving car.
This system would only be available on highly congested highways to keep the flow of…3 votes
