Suite of Tolls features (toll plazas location, toll prices, total costs per ride, etc)
English: The idea would be to have a bunch of tolls features that would be highly useful in different manners. All of them would be managed/contributed by the users themselves, something very similar to what we already have regarding Gas Stations:
- Locations of Tolls Plazas, with notification when getting closer to it and informing the updated value based on the vehicle type the user configures;
- Option to add, update or delete tolls plazas location and prices based on vehicle type;
- Total amount of costs to be spent in the Routes Summary - it'd help the user decide…
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Customized Price/Time rate for routes calculation
Now Waze always propose an option of routes without toll which is good, but not enough for me
Indeed, very often there is a compromise between full toll and no toll being relevant and worthy (cheaper than full toll, faster than no toll)To improce the relevency of the routes proposal an adjustable ratio price/time should be considered
For exemple, for a ratio 1€/min, a toll road at 16€ for 20 min gain will be proposed but not another at 12€ for 10min gain compared to no toll option

Human on shoulder/road
Once, we received a report of an animal on the shoulder of the road, so we paid some attention and looked for animals on the tree line, but it was a person. It was pitch dark, and we drove a few inches away from them because they were in entirely dark clothes on a highway at night. We can report humans on the app to save lives.

Enlarged Road names and numbers when the map is enlarged
I do not understand why road names and numbers do not enlarge proportionally to the map. It makes no sense whatsoever. There is a reason I am enlarging the map and it is to read the information. Please allow road signs and names to enlarge u proportion to the map size.

Road closure automatic pop-up
It would be nice, when we don't follow Waze instructions, that Waze automatically show a little pop-up to ask why we didn't follow the instruction. It would have, for example, 3 buttons: roadwork, closure, ignore. And if the user doesn't do anything after 10 seconds, the pop-up would just ignore and close.
It happened multiple time to me that a road is closed, but because of circulation around and behind me, I can't really take the time to navigate in the UI to find the good option to signal it, and then, once I have the time, it's just…
18 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Hazard reports in road on Hard shoulder
I have noticed that that some hazards can only be reported on the road whilst others can only be reported as on the hard shoulder.
Sometimes the one you want is in the other report option, by then you have missed it.
I strongly suggest that all can be reported in both road and hard shoulder.

provide a Navigation Prompt whenever the road name changes.
This is needed in two scenarios:
When a turn from Smith Ave to Jones Street, for example, is slight enough the client provides no direction. No matter how slight the angle of entry to a new road is, the client should say "turn right" or "slight right" on the road with a different name than the current road. This is especially confusing if Waze is running in the background, since my eyes are telling me I'm at an interchange and Waze isn't providing direction.Also, when the road you are driving on changes names but continues straight in the…

Show the Road That The User is Currently Traveling On, In the Client (Tied into 'Where Am I' Feature Request)
I think that this would be a great feature to have. On the Waze client, while using Waze, whether it be Android, iPhone, WM, etc... it would be nice to show the current road that you are currently on or traveling on. This is tied in to the feature request of something similar to TomTom's "Where Am I", but that is in another thread and I don't wish to take away from it.
The request for the current road is on on GPS devices. For example:

route overview
Please add an option to see either a birds-eye overview or a turn-by-turn list (or both?) of the route Waze is taking me on.
Sometimes I know I want to avoid a particular road. So when Waze plots a route for me at the start, I can review the proposed alternate routes and choose one. But if I need to deviate from that route to make a side errand maybe, Waze will recalculate my route on the fly, going back to its #1 preferred route. If I'm not paying close attention, this sends me back over to the road…

Show Road events information in Map view - Plan Route
In the earlier version of Waze this feature was available. With the new update the feature disappeared:
When choosing the best route out of 3 options Waze shows the list of route and the map. In the Map View not it is missing the traffic information!!!!To be able to choose the best route it is totally necessary to see WHERE exactly along the route you should expect traffic.
The list view shows this info somehow, but it is difficult to guess where exactly the road events are just on a simple line. In the Map View, you can easily…18 votes -

Fastest route regardless of toll fees
Currently Fastest Route takes toll amount and distance into consideration. Many times, better routes with much higher tolls + a longer highway detour is in fact faster.
While there is an option to opt out of tolls, there is no way to have the "Fastest" route regardless.
Fastest should mean really the fastest and not "according to what Waze thinks people might want".

Updating toll prices
There’s a toll in New Gloucester Maine that Waze says is $0.95. But it’s actually $2.25. I’m not sure when the price changed but it would be nice to have a feature that lets u update those prices like you can with gas
