===Speed Limits===
[[File:Speed_Limit_70.png|150px|thumb|Right|Speed Limit Sign]] Speed limit data added to segments in the WME is used in the Waze app to display an app user's speed relative to the speed limit. In addition, the app notifies users if they exceed a speed limit designated on the Waze map.
Speed limits added to the map should match federal, state, and municipal laws that designate maximum speeds for passenger vehicles.
Speed limits that are designated on private property may be added to road segments on the Waze map at the discretion of regional or state managers.
====Special Speed Limits====
{{As of|2016|02}}, the WME and Waze App only support maximum speed limits for passenger vehicles, without variation for time of day. Specialty, also known as 'bannered', speed limits, like the ones shown below, should be disregarded until a time when the WME supports their use.

====Advisory Speed Limits====
In addition, yellow 'advisory' speed signs (as shown below) are usually not enforceable; therefore, 'advisory' speeds, like the ones shown below, should '''not''' be added to the waze map.
