Adjustable maximum speed
For enviromental reasons i drive slower than the maximum allowed speed. Would be great if you could enter your maximum speed into waze in order to adjust your ETA
21 votesGreat news! This feature is already available in Waze. It’s called Personalized ETA.
Personalized ETA setting is turned on in Settings – Navigation – Personalized ETA. Waze would analyze the drives you took in the past, calculate how long it took you to drive sections of the route, and compare this information with Waze’s estimates. Then, it uses this info to personalize your ETA whenever you search a route in Waze.
Important: Waze won’t analyze drives that you delete from your drive history. Deleting drives may disable Waze from personalizing your ETA until you take more drives.

Display current speed and limit when approaching speed camera
Currently speed camera alert covers whole bottom screen and hides current speed and allowed speed.
It would be super useful even just to see allowed speed!

"Easy drive" mode
define the navigation logic so that it will skip narrow streets, traffic lights, stop signes, any road when the average speed is under 40 km/h etc. Allow for a 20% longer ride, but get me home fresh and not drained...
7 votes“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease your driving experience to some extent.

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

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…

Time dependent Speed Limits
We really need the ability to add time dependent Speed Limits for school zones or other times of the day where the maximum speed limit changes, this would not only help with navigation slow downs (which most school zones wouldn't affect too much anyway) but would also increase safety for drivers and pedestrians in the area.
If we were able to set speed limits during specific times of the day it would mean a popup warning for a changed speed would mean users would be aware and slow down and hopefully prevent accidents from occurring in this speed sensitive zones.

328 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!

Change how ETA works
Other sugestions ask similar but all forget us, cyclists. The eta is always based on cars, I need it to be adjusted to fit my average speed, not using a data stored in who knows where. I want it to update live based on my speed at a time.

Speed Limit Announcer
Waze should have the option of Current Speed Limit Announcer, everytime when the speed changes, or if your on the road, and the speedometer pops up for example, “35” in a 35 mph road, or “60” in a 60 mph road
Waze on your phone and/or CarPlay should speak “The speed limit is “35 mph” or “The speed limit is 60 mph”
It is a lot better than looking at your radio just to see the speed limit is posted to prevent a crash

Current speed yellow when approaching turn too fast
App displays speed colour to yellow on turns.
In Australia we have advice sign posts "yellow triangle" that suggest
a comfortable speed for a corner (on corners that are closer to hair-pin than straight).The route navigation current speed would show white (normal), yellow (over suggested speed) or Red (over legal speed limit)
Some possibilities:
- Waze servers auto assign "suggested speed" value based an approximation of centripetal force that considered angle between two segment "points" and ignores slope.
- Waze editor allows a road to have an assigned "suggested speed" based on road signage suggestions (which…5 votes -
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.

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.8 votes -
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

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.
69 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

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.

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

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.

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.

Speed history
Keep speed history for past 90 days. Ability to sort it by dates or trips and map view. Log speed even when not navigating. Give user the ability to turn this feature on. This is useful when getting pulled over or camera ticket. This feature can be a expanded Google Maps "your timeline" with pin point speed history.

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.
