Automatic action: Waze's visual alert will pop up when you go over the speed limit .
Waze, the traffic navigation app, can now warn its users if one exceeds the speed limit.
“Whether you’re driving on new and unfamiliar roads or a place where speed limits change with the season, you’ll no longer be in the dark. Waze will keep you aware of your speed, reminding you to slow down and drive safely,” the company said on its official blog.
Users do not have to change any settings in the app as the visual alert will automatically appear on the Waze speedometer, and will stay there until your speed drops below the limit.
Users can customise how they prefer the alert to appear – either when the speed limit is reached or when the speed exceeds the limit by 5%, 10% or 15%.
However, in a blog post on its official site, the company indicated that the latest feature is currently available in a limited number of countries namely Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Columbia, Czech Republic, El Salvador, France, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uruguay.
The company also says that the feature will be rolled out in other countries once it becomes available, so keep an eye out for update notifications in the Google Play or Apple App Store in the coming months.
