I'd like a notification of a school zone because I often forget when they are active and often go too fast. Yes, I should pay more attention...slandrum wrote:Similar to construction zones and other things that temporarily hamper traffic, so that you get an alert that Waze's routing may not be optimal, especially if the restricted time has just started (or is about to start).
If it's all about the speed, then it isn't so simple. To actually be accurate and useful, you've then got to be able to program the actual times the reduced speed is in effect. In some places, that's 2-4 distinct times during the day. In fact, most school zones in my areas are NOT blanket all during the day. And even those that are better not warn at 1am. Otherwise, there's no point.Traveling_Gav wrote:I envisage it would work by dropping a speed-camera equivalent icon at the start of the zone on each street and then specify the times. That's it!
Nope. That would have to alert 24x7jemay wrote:How do you program for "When Children are Present"? That is not a time we can program for....
You understand it just fine. Maybe what you're not getting is that the functionality for a new type of "object" in the system, from back-end infrastructure, to real-time servers, to the app, doesn't yet exist. Certainly, the technical functionality is similar, but it isn't the same. And to set up something new like this would take a good deal of time and effort.Traveling_Gav wrote:WME already has functionality and dialog boxes for specifying times for turn restrictions so I had envisaged that exact same thing would be applied to the school zone...
I think it would be a good enhancement too. With a warning when approaching an active school zone. I am aware that some states (Texas comes to mind) are very strict, at least where I have travelled around Dallas, with their School Zone enforcement.jimmy_changa wrote:I think that would be an excellent idea, though. Maybe it could be a checkbox on the relevant segments just like how a toll road is marked, along with a "School Zone ahead" announcement.
