Speed trap
I go to work same path every day, Waze notifies me about same speed trap every day too, can you make a button “do not show again”? Second if ignore thanks click, message stays, it definitely should disappear after 1 min.

We are planning to implement this idea.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Speed limit sometimes covers current speed
Currently when I rapidly accelerate, like when passing on a 2 lane road, the speedlimit box becomes larger and covers my current speed indicator. And this is usually when I need to know my current speed the most! Please put an option to disable this behavior. I want to keep current speed limit and current speed on screen at all times, do not make the speedlimit cover up my current speed at any time.
Thank you.

Variable Speed Limit Sign Integration
Here in Northeast Ohio in our construction zones we have "Variable Speed Limit" signs. They are used to reduce the speed limit on a streth of road only when the work zone is active. Example stretches are the Interstate 271/480 stretch in Bedford and again on Interstate 480 in Parma. The 271/480 signs will be in use til 2021 according to the construction plan.
There are several solutions:
1) When entering reported construction zone there could be a pop up presented asking for current speed with known work zone MPH listed (see below)
2) After pressing the speedometer/speed…16 votes -
Speed trap
When speed trap notification pops up. Tachometer becomes hidden behind the directions element. That makes it impossible to read current speed and also max speed limit. Maybe the possible cause is scaled system UI. I think the speed trap notification could popup small in the corner.

Autozoom depending from speed
I like to have an autozoom depending from my travel speed that shows me a big area when driving fast and a detailed area when driving slow e.g. in the city.

Add speed limit near the camera icon
Since all cameras have static speed limit, it would be great to extend camera icon to contain information about speed limit(like current icon + 50/70/110 or another number). This will help driver to understand limit much earlier before camera and correctly choose speed without fast braking, so this will improve safety on roads

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

Obscured vehicle speed
When driving in an average speed trap zone, the vehicle speed is partially obscured by the average speed trap indicator.
ALSO.. when approaching a speed camera while in the zone a banner pops up TOTALLY obscuring the vehicle speed until the camera proximity is passed.
This is a NEW FAULT affecting only average speed zones since a recent update when a banner issue obscuring speed indicator for all speed cameras was resolved
Please resolve this frustrating issue.
Vehicle speed is obscured JUST when you need it most. Thank you !4 votes -
Current Speed limit
show the Current speed limit in the UI. also, add option to get notified whenever my driving speed is X km/h above the limit. (the users will set it)
2 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.

The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the trap
The speed trap alert sound should consider the speed limit of the camera and not the current road the driver is on.
In situations where the driver is on a fast road and is about to exit to a slower road with a speed trap, the driver does not receive the sound alert as they should if they were already on the road with the camera.
For example: A driver is driving at 90 km/h on a road with a speed limit of 100 km/h, following a route already indicated on Waze. The driver is going to take an exit…

More obnoxious speed limit warning
Sound when exceeding speed limit by set amount is a great option, but very easy to miss the warning. Instead of a short beep, Please add an option to select the sound, option to repeat sound until under set speed overage, and a flashing screen or other obnoxious ongoing visual warning. This would have saved me a ticket and be very beneficial as no other app does this.

Speed limit/autovelox notification when screen off
It would be great to have a speed limit notification and autovelox with a big pop up (like the speed limit signal 50 km/h) even when the screen is off. Often when the smartphone is connected with bluetooth I cannot hear the speed limit alarm. I'll be always aware of the speed limit and autovelox on my route saving battery!

Speed limit announcement
It would be nice if speed limits on the motorways could already be announced in advance (with distance information, e.g. 120 km/h in 800 m). I got to know and love this function in Sygic Car Navigation...
This saves fuel and brakes...

I would love to have multiple beep sound when you exceed the speed limit, different beep options would be nice for user preferences

Make speed limit larger on apple carplay
I have read the responses to this issue. It seems to be a bot responding as:
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.
That is NOT the issue. Just remove the speedometer and make the speed limit LARGER. Like it appears on Google Maps, which owns Waze.

Speed limits ahead
How about an Info of speed limits ahead on cirrent road.
Why?
If you travel over Land, you are usually allowed to do 100kmh. At intersections, small villages etc. the speed Limit is usually reduced to 70kmh. If there could be some kind of Information with a speed Limit ahead, about 300 to 500m ahead you could just take you foot of the Gas an let the car roll to safe energy. I Do it regularly on known Routers, if traffic allows it (no one behind me how might be annoyed). With this Methode I m able to have 1…12 votes -
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
