2. 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!

3. Option to type custom planned arrival time

   Would it be possible to add an arrival time that is off of the quarter hour? As strange as it sounds, I would like to know my departure time for a 3:05 pm arrival - for example. The estimated travel time can revert to being based on the closest (or ceiling/floor) quarter hour's prediction. But it would be helpful to have the alert be based on my actual time to leave.

5. Conditional use of toll roads if saves more than set percentage of time

   I live in Northern Virginia (US) where we have a growing network of high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes paralleling existing roads. These come up as separate roads in Waze as they have their own on ramps and off ramps. Just to make them more fun, they have variable tolling so when traffic is more congested on the "free" lanes the toll lanes cost goes higher. The speed limit is also higher on the toll lanes so they always come out as preferred over the regular lanes for navigation.

   The current Waze app allows selection to avoid or not avoid toll roads. This won't work for a commute like mine being that part of my drive goes on a regular toll road as the alternate route would take twice as long for the given segment of my drive. For the segment of my drive where the HOT lanes are present, there are cases when I would prefer to use those lanes being that if there is a major incident in the regular lanes the HOT lanes can save a considerable amount of time.

   This could be addressed if Waze had an option such as "Prefer toll road if saves over threshold percent of time" where the percent can be set to a driver's preference. Best would be if this can be calculated on segments of the drive rather than just the entire drive. By calculating on segments the first part of my drive would stay on the toll road as that part would be over the set percentage if I took an alternate route. For the second part of my drive the navigation would be able to send me to the regular or HOT lanes based on traffic conditions.

   Other's have suggested using cost based preference, using a toll road if it will cost under a set amount. This won't work for the HOT lanes because of their variable tolling when the cost to use the road can vary significantly throughout the day.

   Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

6. Improve speed control zones approaching alerts

   Colombian wazers have been facing problems due to speeding fines, sadly in most of the cases is not about Waze alerts, but is the poor signaling on the Colombian roads and autoways. Given this, is it possible for you guys to deploy a kind of beep when driver is approaching a radar/speed camera detection zone, let’s say 300m before the location of the camera have a beeping which is increasing frecuency the more you approach the camera/radar location? This could help drivers reduce speed and avoid fines due to the lack of standardized signaling in Colombian roads. Thanks!

7. I suggest that you add speed reduction warning to your icons for hazards.

   On motorways when there is a speed reduction sign it would stop people braking heavily if they’re aware it’s coming up.

11. 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 :)

12. Eco-drive helper

    For eco-drive enthusiasts, you could create a function that shows upcoming speed limits with an adjustable distance. For example, I would like to be informed about speed limits approximately 400 meters in advance, so I can deactivate the cruise control and let the car coast to the correct speed for the upcoming limit. For EVs, this would simultaneously involve regenerative braking, saving me fuel and brake pads. The environment would be cleaner, etc. Adaptive notification would be an advanced solution. It would use the g-sensor to understand my inertia and the speed difference from upcoming speed limits.

14. Waze should have the Road Speed in build with its MAPS and this should be compared with it's Speedometer feature to put the ALERT to user

    Waze should have the Road Speed in build with its MAPS and this should be compared with it's Speedometer feature to put the ALERT to user/driver if he/she would exceed the speed limit.

    For example, if the allowed speed limit for some road/high way is 100 KM and user accidentally crosses the speed and reached to 105KM or 110 KM then WAZE should put the ALERT to its user that the speed limit is crossed and user may have fine so decrease the speed to avoid any fine.

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

15. Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets

    Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
    Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
    Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the current one so that it's not forgotten.
    Ideally, Waze would be smart enough to use the speed of the car to calculate the best time to announce the alert so that there would be just the right amount of time for the driver to take action.

20. Congestion Charge

    Can you please install a warning (like with speed cameras and speed limits) that shows up when you are approaching a congestion charge zone? Also, the option to colour the CCZ map in red so you are aware of what roads to avoid? Got bitten by this with a PCN and was only one small road just off the ring road! At least a ‘speed limit style warning’ will give you an ability to know to pay before being fined!
