Waze lets you know when the speed limit is about to change drastically. As you near a new speed limit, you’ll get an alert, giving you time to reduce your speed and drive safer. If you’re driving below the new speed limit, you won’t see this alert.
Note: Speed limits changes are added to the map based on reports from our partners and map editors – if a speed limit change wasn't reported by an editor or partner, Waze may not know about it.
