Highway Speed Limit Update Request

Post by trongrr
Recently, the Michigan Dept of Transportation increased speed limits on several stretches of freeways. In my last several trips up US131, Waze still shows the 75MPH zones as 70MPH.

I tried to update these areas, but I'm not a level 5 yet - so I can't. Might one of you with higher access update these areas? Here's a link to a map with the new speed limits in Michigan. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdot/ ... 8274_7.pdf

Hi guys, new to the forum, but not the app. I tagged the eastern most 75mph zone for I-69 earlier this week, or late last week. The signs have been up for a couple weeks now. I only travel as far as the Wadhams exit, so I can't tag the opposite end yet. If the tag is not there anymore, I'll drop another one right at the first sign on westbound I-69 after the I-94 Interchange.

I've been tagging sections of US 127 in Waze with the new speed limit for weeks and have yet to see any changes. Any section of the expressway that was 70 MPH is now 75 MPH so I would think someone with the proper level could go make the changes.

Thanks for the link. We're trying to update them as signs are posted. We know the routes planned, but we rely on drivers to tell us when the actual signs have been added.

The best course is to leave a user report UR at the spot where you see a new speed limit sign that does not match Waze. Thanks.

I have gone through and done the 75 corridor from Bay city to the bridge as I know it's all showing 75.

I will try to track down what all has been done and update it, but usually by the time MDOT returns my email it will be past the deadline...

Yeah, the only reason we haven't done this en masse yet is because the maps we've got showing the start/end of the 75 zones are imprecise and too wide of a scope. We'd like the speed transitions as close to where the actual sign is on the ground as possible, and we don't have a good way of viewing that yet without users tagging them for us.

US-127 has been set to 75 between the I-69 interchange in Lansing, and where it drops from freeway to highway north of St. Johns. It will take a few days for those changes to be reflected in your client.

We'd love to get the precise location of the transitions though, down to the location of the first and last speed limit signs, so feel free to send in corrections if I over or undershot the transition points. MDOT's information isn't that granular, it's too wide a scope to narrow it down that much.
