Add average speed zone indication on screen to Android auto
In Android auto the average speed zone is announced by voice but there is no indication on screen like in the "normal" waze. So you don't know how long the zone is and if you respect the speed.

multiple reoccuring beep option when speed limit threshold is exceeded.
Being able to set a reoccuring beep (instead of just one beep) when the speed threshhold is exceed is very necessary. This way speed cameras can be avoided and one is reminded what the speed limit is. Also, it is necessary to be able to add temporary speed limits into the trip line. These may or may not be permanent, but important just the same due to temporary speed cameras.

Personal speed limit for electric cars
As I recently done 800 miles with my zoe, I found that the fastest route is not actual fast.
Generally, best range can be achieved by keeping speed around 56 mph at motorway for an electric car.However, route optimisation has been done based on the top speed of the route unless there is a traffic.
Therefore, if we can have personalised top speed, we might different route.
5 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.

Show speed cameras before starting drive
Here in Germany, having an app that shows you the speed camera just when coming near the camera has gotten illegal. But it is legal to check for speed cameras before starting the journey. It would be good if Waze would show speed cameras on the overview route just after calculating the route.

Speed camera, police and booze bus
Have speed camera, police and booze buses as all different icons so people can tell the difference between them. 1 icon for all police isn't specific enough.

Variable Speed Limit Camera Audio Cues
Hi, based in the UK here.
When a user drives in a variable speed limit zone on a motorway in the UK, Waze thinks the speed limit is 70 mph all the time when in fact the speed limits can be changed from anywhere between 20 mph and 70 mph.
These variable speed limit zones have several speed cameras that can detect speeding for a variety of speed limits.
When navigating on Waze, when approaching a speed camera the audio cue for alerting to speed cameras does not play when driving within the speed limit shown in Waze, only…

Suggested driving speed based on traffic
Based on current driving conditions, the app would let you know how fast you should be going to keep traffic moving (i.e., if it was heavy traffic the app would recommend a speed of 10mph vs. moderate traffic with a recommended speed of 35mph). The feature would also suggest a lane you should be driving in, based on GPS speed, so drivers who prefer to go at a modest highway speed are in the middle or right lanes.

Awards for People for Driving the Speed Limit
Many people drive above the speed limit and we've all got a speeding ticket at one time, but wouldn't it be cool to get rewarded when we do drive at or near the speed limit? Maybe waze can create a feature to award points based on how much time or mileage that we are compliant to the posted speed limit. And maybe even leverage companies like Starbucks to award good drivers with a coffee! It is especially critical that drivers obey the limit on residential streets, and maybe this could motivate and educate drivers to do so!!

Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works
I would like to suggest adding functionality to Waze that supports temporary speed limits on road segments affected by road works. This would work similarly to the current "Closures" feature in the Waze Map Editor (WME).
Reason for Request:
This summer, we have received numerous reports from drivers through the mobile app, indicating incorrect speed limits displayed on roads under construction. Currently, setting temporary speed limits and later restoring the original limits after the road works are completed is a time-consuming, double effort for us.A "Temporary Speed Limits for Road Works" feature would not only streamline the process of…

change speed bump to traffic calming device
There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.
The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.
If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down methods and…

Police speed trap trends
Instead of only showing current police speed traps, have a toggle options for where police tend to sit and wait. "police hot zone" kind of idea. "police have been reported at this time for the last three days" kind of warning. This will not only help avoid tickets, but get people to slow down in the more "dangerous" areas

Speed limit alert
Hey Waze
I have a proposal that I think would help with traffic safety. You have already created a speed alert. The problem today is that it only gives an alarm once in a speed zone. To get a new alarm, you need to enter a new speed zone. I thought it might be a good idea to make it possible for you to choose to get an alarm as long as you drive too fast, and that you can choose the alarm tone and volume. In android auto, the speedometer is placed on the right side of the…

Speed indicator
When the phone is in landscape mode, the speed indicator can be sometimes hidden by the lanes indicator when it pops up.
Is it possible to put the speed indicator on the foreground or move it when it is hidden under another object?
Thank you3 votes
