enlarge the size of the speed display on android devices, and change the colours to improve contrast
I find the speed hard to read on my android when mounted to the handlebars on my bike. If the speed was larger, and with better contrast, especially the red on black, that would help a lot

Add Support for Mopeds, Bicycles & Moped Speed Checks (Known as Rollerbanks)
I suggest adding support for mopeds and bicycles as selectable vehicle types in Waze, allowing users to receive more accurate routes tailored to bike lanes and moped-accessible roads. Additionally, introducing a report option for roadside speed checks specific to mopeds (commonly known as "rollerbanks" in some regions) would greatly benefit two-wheeler users by improving route awareness and promoting fair, transparent traffic monitoring.

Distance / speed based voice guidance directions
It used to be you can select how far from a turn or direction for guidance could be selected. You removed this quite some time ago. There used to be three or so options to choose from.
I believe the distance options were 1400/1200 feet.; 750 feet; & 200 feet or something like this. This would be good because sometimes it takes to long to get the direction or it tells me too late or too far away.
Or maybe make it speed dependent. That way if I slow down it's because I'm close and looking or if I'm going…

Button to constantly beep if I'm always over the speed limit. Button in same speed zone to beep when over then under and over again.
You have it set up so that I can press a button and have a sound happen if I go over the speed limit by whatever miles per hour I like which I like. The problem is once I go over that speed limit range in that zone (Zone = same street without a speed limit change). If I go under and then go back over it, it does not beep again. So I don't know if I'm going over the speed limit. Can you please put a request for improvement and put more buttons there that will make it…

Feed back Thank you for the speed limit!!
My biggest issue with Waze vs other GPS devices/apps was the lack of speed limit. Thank you for finally adding it!! Way to go Waze. Great app, saved me from tickets and getting stuck in traffic in multiple occasions.

Need for voice notifications about fixed speed limits while we get warnings about upcoming radars
Hi. It could be very helpful if Waze could notify us by voice about the speed limit fixed for the given situation while it warns us about upcoming radars. This could tremendously help the drivers to control the speed without being distracted or in cases they did not notice the speed signs. In many countries, the drivers suffer the deficit of speed signs which can be very confusing and results in payments of high fines. Thanks

Adapt routes and ETA to the choice of a user's max speed
More and more of us, for economic or ecological reasons, or simply because our vehicle does not allow us to, self-limit and not drive at more than 100 km/h or 90 km/h, even on the highway.
It would be good if when searching for a route, we could define a Max speed for the vehicle and that the calculation of the different routes takes this into account.
A route on a road limited to 100 km/h, usually abandoned in favor of a route using a highway limited to 130 km/h could even become faster as soon as the driver decides…4 votes -
Implement burn-in protection for AMOLED-Displays
Many users of mobiles with AMOLED-Displays report severe burn-in when using Waze on an regular basis.
Please implement an option to activate a real good working burn-in protection.
- Switching off (no dimming, the pixels must really be off!) the whole map if nothing interesting must be shown (no speed camera, no car on shoulder, no turn in 1 km or less).
and
- Rasterize next-turn bar, speedometer, report button, ETA-bar AND shift them a few pixels once per minute. (BTW: this is normal behavior on smartwatches used with display always-on for years)
80 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route.
Suggest Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route. (currently: waze does not read or very rarely reads warnings when there is a change in speed limit)

I would love to have speed limits added to the app. It would help avoid traps. Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't help Without it
I would love to see the speed limit added to the app with an alert letting you know it is about to change! Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't no good if there is a speed cage over a hill and the cop is setting there! There are traps set up like this all over. And this would eleminate small town traps.

speed limit side
L'idéal serait de proposer un odomètre que l'on pourrait agrandir/réduire et déplacer sur la carte. Chacun pourrait ainsi l'afficher à sa convenance !

Traffic Alerts
Give drivers the option to manually enter a traffic incident ( police, speed camera etc) on the map rather than only allowing the them to report an incident on their tracking location. This can allow a driver to go a different direction or go past an incident and still enter an alert accurately for other drivers. Also allow an option for speed camera alone, because it is difficult to differentiate from police or a speed trap.

Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS
An important factor during a car trip is the "Maximum Permitted Speed or MPS".
During a car trip, the MPS changes constantly:
1) from 70 to 50, then to 90, suddenly to 30, then again to 70, 30, 70, 100, 90, 120, etc.
2) The MPS aren't always the same type of traffic signs.
I've noticed that I sometimes miss a traffic sign, and WAZE alerts me, for example, with an audible signal (thanks for that!).
My gaze automatically shifts to my smartphone, which actually distracts me from what's happening or could happen on the road!
That's why I'd like…1 vote -

Reports & Updates
People are reporting highway traffic officers as police. They are not the police. Because users are abusing this police report button, it makes you assume the police are not there, then often you get caught out when they are.
Also, mobile speed camera vans are a common issue. We would all prefer if you gave us a mobile speed camera van button so people stop abusing the police button. That way, wazers will know the police prescence ahead is genuine.
Artificial intelligence sealtbelt and mobile phone cameras are in operation across the UK now. You need to add a…

Premium user / tipping users for correctly placed speed traps
It would be nice to give some incentive to users to actually use correctly this app.
What do i mean by that?
- The first and most dangerous obviously it is a speed trap. I would give immediately my half of speeding ticket to users that saved me from that.
- More users would be drawn to the Waze and we could have more information, because there is a reward for being useful
- We could have hotspots, that means, zones where is frequently reported some police activity, even if it isn't reported today, beware it might be something.
I would happily…
