1. 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.

3. 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.

4. Yellow Box Junction Cameras

   TLDR Version: At the moment on Waze you can only report either speed cameras, red light cameras or fake cameras, having a 'yellow box junction' camera would be a logical and great addition imho.

   Non TLDR Version: Yellow box junction cameras drive me nuts (for those not UK based these are cameras that make sure yellow box junctions - ie boxes marked on the road to stop drivers stopping at the entrance to a side junction and blocking it), mainly because not all yellow boxes are enforced with cameras (so drivers from all angles enter it and the only way to cross is to barge your way through) and usually yellow box junctions are put in the most ridiculous places seemingly by local officials who don't drive (I just got a penalty charge notice for one that is at the crest of a hill, I couldn't see it and the truck in front blocked my view as to whether I could cross it).

   Thanks for reading, please vote! :)

6. Enforcement trailer

   Germany and parts of Europe experience a whole new kind of speed cameras since a year or so, the so-called "enforcement trailers".
   Since two months these are used on the german Autobahn on a regular basis.
   The trailers are moved from place to place and stay there for up to two weeks. The places are used recurrent, e.g. there are 40 places in North Rhine Westfalia and 10 trailers, every place get's a trailer once in a while.

   Marking them as mobile speed camera is useless, since they always disappear because of the low waze usage in germany.
   Marking them as stationary speed camera doesn't make sense as well, since they get removed while there is no trailer present.

7. Speed ceiling, the ultimate economical & ecological function !!

   Allowing us to set a speed limit / ceiling in the preferences (for example 80km/h), then Waze calculates automatically straighter, shorter roads with lower speed limits because it knows we ride slower and so we won't go at full speed on highways. It will also give a correct ETA. For typically one hour more than a 4 hour trip on highway road, we can have less kilometers to run, a way better fuel consumption because of the lower speed, and prettier roads with less traffic !!! Perfect for old cars, or small motorcycles !! We need this so much in France, even for modern cars when it has a better consumption at 100km/h than 130km/h, because highways are really boring and often longer than a combination of "nationales" and "départementales" with decent speed limit.

9. Temporary recording of speed and location

   Please add a setting where you can record the last 2-5-10 minutes of a commute with speed, location and a timestamp. This could allow us to help defend ourselves against police errors. Ive been pulled over twice this year on the highway whit the cruise set to 120kph and the police told me they snapped me a 138 and 130 witch is not possible. It would be nice to have some kind of proof to back me up in the future. People could set this up when creating the account or even disable it for more speed in the app but people like me could use the temporary file to avoid abuse

10. 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.

11. Enable users in Uganda to map out the new speed limits on the roads and get alerts when they are driving above the speed limit

    New speed limits have been implemented in Uganda alongside electronic speed ticketing. There are little to no speed limit signs so this would help people monitor and adhere to speed limits during a commute.

    The feature required is the ability to map the speed limits so we can crowd source the information

12. 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.

    “Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease your driving experience to some extent.

14. 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.

15. Speed bump notification not working well

    I am using Waze for navigation and speed bumbs notifications not appeard on my screen while navigating while it is working well with other users using the same route and at the same time, I suggest to solve this issue if other users face the same issue, and I suggest to make the speed bumbs notifications works even if I use the same way multiple times in the day.

16. 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.

17. have a "slow vehicle" type with a CUSTOM TOP SPEED

    I drive antique vehicles which are often slow but i don't mind driving on highways so dont want to check "avoid freeways", i would just like that the navigtion algorythm takes my top speed (50mph for one car 65 for the other one) into account when calculating the route.
    this could be set in the "type of vehicles" menu, select "special" and have a customizable "top speed".
    then, even on a 80mph road, waze would only consider i'll make 50 and maybe reroute me on a shorter path !
    
    If you want to go further you could even set a "garage" in wich we set each of our our vehicles (cars, motorbikes, ...), their fuel and their top speed. it would popup at the app launch, and at travel planing, and allow us to keep all settings in memory.
    sorry for english mistakes...i'm french....

18. Reports and Hazard Alerts

    Speed camera alerts or warnings should sound regardless of the speed travelling. I would rather know something is there even if under speed. GPS speed monitoring is not as accurate as a vehicles speedometer, it's usually 5mph out.
