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 -
Remove limits on saved places
Remove the limit from number of saved places. (its limited to 100). As a taxi driver, i found myself saving many places. Its easy for me to type the short letters and my saved places come on top. I want to use waze all the time even if i know where am going because it gives me alerts about speed cam, traffic..... Please kindly remove that limitation.
There's another thing that needs fixing. For example, am in Abu Dhabi where there's Malls that begins with same letters in there names, like; Marina Mall, Mushrif Mall, Mazyad Mall. So…

pollution
When pollution peak, speed limit is reduced.
It could be interesting to be able to notifie these reduction by the users to inform others1 vote -

Speed and red light cameras and other cameras
Is it possible if waze said for speed and red light cameras and other cameras to say where any camera is in 1 mile not in 0.2 miles because that way people would get a heads up and not panic and not slam on the brakes cause that can be dangerous

Report dangerous driving
Would be super Helpful having an icon to report DANGEROUS DRIVING on Brazilian maps. Too many drivers do not drive safely and overpass de speed limit letting others drivers in danger.
Would be SUPER if Waze could add this service for thee good of all carefully drivers.
Thank you.7 votes -
Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match…6 votes -
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…

Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.397 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not…

Not sure if Waze does curves speed alert, that would be nice especially driving on a unfamiliar road at night or in poor visibility.

A button for HOV or non-HOV
There should be a button to tell Waze whether the car is in the HOV lane. 1), it would help Waze better determine traffic speed since it wouldn't average Wazer's in the HOV lanes with the speeds of those driving slower. 2), the Map would/could show the average speed of HOV or non HOV speeds. A Wazer in the HOV lane could really impact the accurate speed average shown (and vice versa).
429 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Can you make
A average speed but not for the trip, from the moment the gps system says im entering a average speed limit motorway. (i already have an average speed for the trip on my car dash). So in order for me to know what my average speed is while driving in average speed limit way it had to start from the moment i cross the camera (GPS started and end at the exit point)

Traking travel
When phone connect to car , autostart Waze, saving address During travel record position on map, with speed. When stop car shut down save position and stop waze. Result : map of trip can be available, including road used and speed top and average. Trafic condition can be automatic for or wazers because all cars speed are record and compared with speed limit of roads (if under limit mean trafic, difference in percentage show the trafic density). Look to have one idea Vezma App. Make what I suggest but don't do all that Vaze offer.

WAZE urgently needs updating in Queensland, Australia where in country and coastal areas is is almost unusable! MUST GET speed limits on map
WAZE urgently needs updating in Queensland, Australia where in country and coastal areas is is almost unusable! MUST GET speed limits on map, about the only App where they are not shown!

when there is a speed camera, flash the screen to make them more visible. with only current information, it is hardly visible.

Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Feature: Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Problem:
When one vehicle hard-brakes on a highway, it creates a backward-traveling shockwave. Due to human reaction times, vehicles behind brake even harder — causing a dead-stop jam with no actual obstruction. These "phantom jams" cause thousands of rear-end collisions yearly.
Proposed Solution:
Waze already collects real-time GPS telemetry from millions of drivers. If the system detects a sudden velocity drop, it could instantly push a "Reduce speed to 60 km/h" advisory to drivers further back — absorbing the shockwave before it cascades.
I Built a Working Simulation:
I've created an…

Warning notification
Can you please move the box that appears to warn you of a speed trap so it doesn't obscure the speed your driving at/speed limit indicator. Or move the speed indicators to the top right hand area of the display. Thanks!
