Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete
When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.
I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.
BACKGROUND
Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.
=== Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===
Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to…

Speed camera notifications
Hi
First of all thanks for the service.
As a constant waze user I think one major upgrade would to be able to get speed camera notifications even if you are not speeding. This would help as sometimes the smart motorways sometimes are at a lower speed on digital sign than the current speed limits. Thanks again.Kind regards

Larger Speed and Speed Limit Option Please!
Please give the option to make the Speed Display and Speed Limit Boxes Larger. It is very hard to see due to small size. This would be very helpful in cars like mine that do not have a digital speed display.

Known Speed Traps
Would like that we have “known speed traps” integrated into the map section. For example if me and 100 other wazers pass a certain location everyday and we ping it as a speed trap the data should be collected until the app knows this is a speed trap and should become a known speed trap on the map. I think the same should be done with tag readers cops are known to read tags in certain areas by sitting in the median, ramps etc

Speed trap
Speed trap notification should ALWAYS sound. If you are not over the speed limit, you risk accelerating before the trap and getting a fine.
Other alerts sound at any circumstance. At least, give the option to activate always on notificatios for speed traps.11 votes -

Alert about speed cameras even when not speeding.
Currently, with speed camera alerts enabled, the alert only activates when speeding while approaching a speed camera. An option to display the alert regardless of current speed would be beneficial.

Change option speed limit /speed penalty
in europe I travel through many countries. Each country has different speed penalts. it would be good to have a chance change the speed limit to the value of the penalty, for example, if my speed is 150, it's not terribly. but when my speed value is 400 € for a penalty then I better slow down.it is good for Young people . they have no sense and no money. and it's best for safety. at maximum speed an alert is displayed ,,, withdrawal of driving license

Please fix the CarPlay issues,
Please fix the CarPlay issues. Directional information covers the speed limit, move the speed limit to the top left? Speed camera notifications cover too much screen, make these transparent? Show the average speed camera distance like on the mobile version of the app. After turning a corner the map takes too long to realise you’ve turned meaning you scan easily miss your next turn if it’s close after.

Historical Speed Trap Zones
Gather police present reports from drivers and develop a warning for areas on roads where police usually set up speed traps. Create a speed trap button for user input.

Speed limit on Android Auto
Thanks for finally making Waze available on Android Auto but you left out the speed limit and it is one of my favorite features. It's especially helpful in rural areas where speed limit signs are few and far between and it makes it easy for law enforcement to set up speed traps.
43 votesThank 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.

Speed traps notifications
Early notifications about speed traps inform you whenever you are in the area of the speed trap.
But now, if you are entering the speed trap area at the allowed speed, they don’t inform you about it, even if you are entered at the allowed speed, but increase your speed in this area.7 votes -
Report speed limit when reporting speed trap ahead
Just a before a speed trap, most drivers have no idea what the speed limit is. Thinking they need to avoid a fine they slow down rapidly causing a mini traffic jam and a lot of danger. If you can report the speed limit, most drivers would maintain speed and traffic will go smoother. This happens mostly in Israel highway 2.

CarPlay Waze is missing the current speed that appears on iPhone only Waze. Please put the current speed on either the iPhone screen or CarPlay screen. Thanks

speed cameras
The alert about speed cameras warns about cameras that are positioned on the same direction the car drives, which is counterproductive.It should warn about cameras that are placed on the opposite direction, because these cameras are the ones that are relevant , they take the picture.

Adding a maximum speed for adapting maximal speed roads
Hi,
In Belgium and the Netherlands (and probably other countries too) we have adapting maximal speed signs on the highroads (and on soms other roads too). In case of trafficjams or accidents they lower the maximum speed on that road so you don’t get extra accidents and jamms (other people that go faster and slower on the highway etc).
It would be handy to have a button on the ‘report screen’ to set a new (temporary) maximum speed for that segment while you are in your car so that other people can see it, your maximum speed is properly indicated…

Upcoming Speed limit
It would be great if Waze could give a(n optional) warning if a speed limit comes up (similar to construction area warning). This enables the driver to lower the speed before - instead of brake down the speed when the limited zone begins.
This would be very helpful especially on German motorways, which haven’t a general limit and where you have to brake hard e.g. before construction areas.24 votes -
Speed bump notification
Please can you make speed bumps in a different category so it can be turned off without removing the rest of the hazards. Living in London means I get a speed bump notification every 5 seconds and it’s very distracting when driving. Thanks, Josh

Exceeded Speed Limit Warning
Hi the beep sound is heard after exceeding the speed limit but only once.
My request or suggestion is to have an option to choose if the beep should be continuous till the speed is not reduced OR to beep only once when speed is exceeded (later one is the existing set up)
Hope you understand and add this small request to the app.
I use the app by listening instead of watching so one beep for exceeding speed limit doesn't help..

speed limits
It should be interresting to add the speed limit on the map, every user could add the limit through his trip.
