Increase the contrast / Change colors at the top + Larger alert when route changes
A couple of times I missed the change of route because the alert it too minimal. I drive with no waze sound, so I do not hear the change. I think this is a critical improvement because of the time you can loose when you miss the change. Thanks!

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.
2 votesSpeed 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.

Route by average speed
Sometimes the app suggests a route with a shorter total time, but with a much greater distance than the other options. For example: 5 minutes less with 10km more. Therefore, I suggest showing the average speed (Distance/Time) of each option.

iPhone - Set position of GPS Speed
I am in australia and we drive on right hand side of the car.
This is request for the display when using iPhone CarPlay.
I recently swapped from Samsung to iPhone. On Samsung the GPS Speed is on the right side of the display and easier to quickly see.
But on iPhone the GPS speed is on the left side of the display, which makes it harder to look over to see.Can a setting be provided to set where GPS Speed is locate - left ot right of the display,

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.

Alert events pop up is too big in new version
The alert events pop up in new waze version is too big if you are using the landscape mode. This is making hard to see the map in front of you.
Balloon pop up of older version in right corner was much better.

- 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.4 votes -
Why is my speed being tracked?
I do not like that my speed is being tracked. For what purpose? To tell if the traffic is moving or not?

Say what alert is for
When there is a pothole, accident or some other alert, these days we just hear a ding. It does not say what the alert is for, you have to look at the screen to see. Rather say "Pothole ahead" etc. The ding sound is the exact same sound my car makes for low fuel. It is extremely annoying to hear the ding every now and again. It also dims the radio/music for a while. Pleas rather just say what the alert is for using your words.

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.

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…

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…1 vote -

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.

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.

Radar de velocidade média - average speed radar
It would be interesting, in these new “average speed” radars, that along the section in question, the green progression bar that appears in the application on the left side would turn red whenever the vehicle exceeds the allowed average. Here's the tip.
Seria interessante, nestes novos radares de “velocidade média”, que ao longo do troço em questão, a barra de progressão verde que aparece na aplicação do lado esquerdo passasse a vermelho sempre que o veículo ultrapassasse a média permitida. Fica a dica.

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…4 votes -
