Waze lets you know when you drive near road features that can impact your drive, like speed bumps or toll booths. Read more about road features alerts.
You'll see alerts for the following road features:
- Railroad crossings
- Toll booths
- Speed bumps
- Sharp curves
- Speed limit changes
- Complex intersections
- Multi lane merging
- School zones
Note: Road features are added to the map based on reports from our partners and map editors. If a road feature wasn't reported, Waze may not know about it.

Got questions?
How do railroad crossing alerts work?
When you approach a railroad crossing, an alert appears and stays on your screen until you've crossed the railroad tracks.
Why didn't I get an alert for a speed limit change?
Waze lets you know when the speed limit is about to change drastically, giving you time to adjust your speed. However, if you're already driving below the new speed limit, you won't see an alert.
What are school zone alerts?
Waze notifies you as you approach a school zone, so you can adjust your driving and slow down if needed. School zones are usually active only during specific hours on school days.
