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…

Estimating the time to pass tunnels using average speed
When Waze suggests a path with a tunnel, the estimation time is always incorrect, and I cannot conclude that this is the best route. For example, if the time to pass a tunnel without traffic is 2 min and I pass it in 10 min (because of traffic), then after I came out of the tunnel, the estimation time become +8 min. I think Waze uses instantaneous velocity and GPS location to estimate traffic. In tunnels, GPS doesn't work (and many of tunnels don't have beacons), so Waze does not compute traffic in tunnels. This issue can be easily fixed…

Posted speed trap alert
Many streets have built-in speed traps. You know -- the speed is 40 mph, and is a sensible speed for that road, but then for no reason it drops to 25 mph for a half-mile (and there's no school, residences, sharp turns, etc in the road). These are all about revenue generation for the local municipality, and not about road safety.
I would like to be able to report a posted speed trap on the map (and the map should be able to identify many candidates for potential posted speed traps), and then after Waze through some TBD process determines…

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

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.

Having the speed your are going is nice but having both the speed limit and speed you are doing would be much better.

Speedometer speeding threshold alert below speed limit
I currently have a blackbox installed in my car for insurance purposes. I would like to be able to set my speedometer alert BELOW the speed limit so I know I am approaching it and DONT GO OVER the limit. The options now are all ABOVE the limit.

Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

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.

speed limit manual
can we have a manual speed limit? I often use a big trailer who is limit to 90km/h on highway versus 130km/h for the cars. so my arrived hour is always very wrong and my route isn't optimized at all.

Seperate speed limit warning for each vehicle type
Hi Waze team,
I have used Waze while driving motorcycle. But in my opinion, it would be good if we can separate the speed limit for each vehicle type because the speed limit may be different with cars on some roads. Maybe it's a good development route for supporting another type of vehicle like truck for example8 votes -
Display speed limit on Radars
Showing the pop-up when approaching a radar, show the speed limit assigned to the radar.

UI Problem: Speed camera\police alert covers the speed limit
I was using Waze in horizontal mode last night - the speed limit and my current speed were displayed near the bottom of the screen in the middle horizontally. I noticed that when alerts such as Police ahead or Speed Camera in x feet were displayed the notification box covers key bits of the screen such as your current speed, the speed limit and your precise location.
I think either the UI needs to shift up when the alerts are displayed, or the alert box needs to be constrained to one side of the screen.
I did take a…

Disable speed limit change banners
After last update every time when approaching speed speed limit change the bottom part goes red and there is a thermometer showing the speed limit.
It is impossible to turn it off!
It overrides all current information.
That red banner grabs attention what happened making driving very dangerous!
It is necessary to be able to disable this feature as well as speed limit signs on the map! We need less distraction on the map, more attention to the road!1 vote -

drive the speed limit alerts when cutting through a neighborhood
Waze sends lots of drivers through my neighborhood when traffic is bad. Most drive over the speed limit and will even pass others who are driving the speed limit. Because you have demonstrated that you do not care about my neighborhood, except as a cut-through, please add a voice alert that will sound when people are using waze to cut through neighborhoods reminding people to drive the speed limit.

Speed camaras and speed bumbs
Your new icon for speed cameras is not very visible, it is too small and the blue colour is exactly as the route ahead when you are following a route on dark mode, night mode. It does not really help at all.
Your speed bumps alert is too much and very annoying, in London every single street, road has speed bumps, nearly all of them. I don't see the point in alerting about it so often and repeatedly all the time. The speed bumbs icon it more visible and alerting in size and colours than the speed cameras icon…2 votes -
Combination Red Light & Speed Camera
In my area there are now red light cameras that are also speed cameras. Why is this relevant? Because if the light is STALE (green for a long period and may be turning yellow/red soon at some point) I and other drivers who are aware that the light may be turning red may speed up to avoid the possibility of a receiving a red light ticket. (Because you can’t just stop for a stale green light) If you are aware the redlight camera also tickets for speed it would be a helpful reminder to keep your speed in check while…

Separate the ability to show the posted speed limit from the speedometer.
Currently, the only way to see the posted speed limit, is to toggle on the speedometer. I’m a truck owner that keeps the speedometer toggled off, as the speed that is on my screen is 12 mph faster than I am actually driving. I don’t have the option to see the posted speed limit, because it is grayed out, unless you are “using” the speedometer.
