Add a route option
I live in Texas and the route options do not take into consideration safety. Usually it gives me routes that are dark( no street lights) and thru miles in rural areas. I would like to suggest that a safe route option is added to the route options that takes the driver thru populated and areas with good street lightning. One should never compromise safety.

TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads
Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.
Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!
For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all…

Routes via faster alternate paths
I've noticed lately that Waze has been suggesting routes very similar to the routes suggested by Google Maps: through avenues and main streets that are most often jammed. Some time ago, Waze suggested smarter routes, avoiding traffic jams and going deeper into neighborhoods. The route was longer, but much faster. Today, he insists on passing only the main streets and this considerably increases the travel time. When the path is known I always follow the routes suggested in the past by Waze and 100% of the time I save between 5 to 10 minutes, which is a lot of time…

The pervious version was better as it automatically started the drive with a count down. Now I have to confirm the route every time I start
Also one cannot easily schedule the drive for later as before. Now one has to go through some planning workflow. The planned drives does not include the planning of ferries schedules.

The new version change makes it much more difficult to plan a trip for the following day. The last version was excellent.

Mark temporary the route as blocked, unavailable, reroute options
Add the option to mark the current route or road segment as unavailable or ability to calculate completely alternate route for the next couple of miles. I found myself multiple times on a suggested route that was closed due to roadwork, incident or event by the police for some reason. I tried to avoid it but waze kept on routing me back that blocking point… I usually have to drive random a lot of miles until the route changes enough so that I can be given an alternate route. Happened in cities, highways (due to accident ahead). This would be…

Gated Community Traffic Issue
Hi! In Fairfield a Gated community in Ponte Vedra Beach, GPS takes all visitors to a resident gate instead of our security gate. This has caused traffic jams and accidents as drivers without a pass may not be buzzed in ans have to make a U turn onto a highway. Is there a way to re-direct Waze customers to our Security Gate?

Add multiple destinations
There should be a way to add multiple stops along a current route. If I’m headed to a specific destination, I might need to stop for gas, food, or other quick detours. It would be much more convenient to add these stops without having to cancel or restart the original route. Integrating this functionality would greatly improve the user experience.

Emergency Route Mode
"Emergency Route Mode" – a new Waze feature that instantly calculates the fastest route in urgent situations, bypassing all preferences (tolls, traffic, dirt roads, rural routes, highways, etc.). It builds user trust in real time, strengthens brand loyalty, and opens strong monetization channels via smart emergency ads, premium upgrades, and city partnerships.

Alternate routes options
possibility for drivers to share different routes.
For example.
I work in a high traffic jam / high accident area.
When I bring Waze up.
It only gives me an option for 3 direct routes.
Despite their being back road options or other possibilities.
I would love if there was an option for the driver to submit alternatives.
Or :
choose from other alternatives.3 votes -
Feature Suggestion – “Follow a Friend” Mode
I’d love to suggest a new feature that could really help users who are traveling in separate cars to the same destination.
The idea is a “Follow a Friend” mode where one driver can request to follow another through the Waze app. Here’s how it could work:
• You enter your friend’s phone number or select them from your contacts.
• They receive a notification asking if they’d like to share their live location with you.
• If they accept, their vehicle would appear on your Waze map in real time, allowing you to follow them while still navigating your…3 votes -
Waze Delivery
I run a weekly trash route. I add customers weekly. I currently use Waze but I can’t add unlimited stops on a route that optimizes stops for quickest completion of the route. I am forced to use g maps to plan my route.
Can you design a “Waze Delivery” or “Waze Pro” that offers unlimited stops for a delivery route that can also optimize the stops for quickest drive, shortest miles traveled, as well as easily add or delete a stop.
I’m very interested in these features in Waze and would definitely be willing to pay for these features.3 votes -
Variable Toll Rates
Set up one type of feed input so that toll roads can update the variable toll rates in real time.
Understand that worldwide there are many methods companies use for toll rates that change. But Wase should have at least one feed type that can update the variable toll feed so that users can see in real time if it is say $2.00 to use the road or $40.00.

Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like those for…

Option to type custom planned arrival time
Would it be possible to add an arrival time that is off of the quarter hour? As strange as it sounds, I would like to know my departure time for a 3:05 pm arrival - for example. The estimated travel time can revert to being based on the closest (or ceiling/floor) quarter hour's prediction. But it would be helpful to have the alert be based on my actual time to leave.

Add a "prefer main roads" option
Whenever I visit an area that I'm not familiar with, Waze tends to find the fastest possible route to where I'm going, which often involves cutting through residential areas or some narrow back road. This is great if someone is late or wants to do whatever it takes to get somewhere as fast as possible, but I would love an option to prefer main roads, even if it adds a few minutes to my trip, just so the drive is as easy and safe as possible.
