speed limit of the road on the map

Post by dsaville75
I just started using Waze and it is the greatest navagation app I have used. I searched the settings but did not see an option to have the speed limit of the road you are traveling displayed on the map it shows my speed. Is there a way to enable that or is that currently under development.

If this question has been posted before my appologies.

Suppose another company owns rights to a suitable dataset, is willing to license it and wants money. Then the clever negotiating initiative may be to use Waze’ rapidly growing user base and its unique, easy and fun, user-driven update model to arrive at a mutually beneficial ongoing agreement that would produce a "best in class" feature for both companies.
Just like GasBuddy partnered with Waze to grow their base and coverage... oh wait...

It's all my phone's fault for using Tapatalk.
And WhatGas over here... No... Wait

+1 it needs too much work to implement, and time that could be better spent giving a more useful base service!

Don't get me wrong either, it'd be a nice feature to have for some, but I think you're asking for something a little different.
How about forgetting the average for that 10 min slice and say whether a road is slow on average for that road in total, like Google maps traffic layer. Is that what you mean?
That would be pretty nice. Or even a notification like a speed camera, but for a change in speed? There are easier ways to do it I suppose :-)

You're not reading what's been said and confusing the point.
A simple alert when you are over the speed limit has nothing whatsoever to do with average speeds and the way waze works and calculates routes, it would purely be as an alert, nothing else. Why are people misunderstanding that?

That's what he means.

Again, that's not what is being said here. ALERTS ONLY!

Yeah, simple way to not get caught is to be a safe and observant driver ;-)

It still isn't enough people. Longggg term yeah why not, but we need the map accurate first and that could take quite a while!
