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!

Group toll passes & exemptions by country and/or state
It would be great that if in the app the Toll passes and exemptions would be grouped by country and/or state. As there are a gazillion ones in the list it's hard to find the ones you want to choose.
Ex. Belgium -> LEZ Antwerp, LEZ Bruxelles, LEZ Ghent and etc.
France -> Crit'Air 1,2,3,4,5,E
Germany -> Umweltplakette Grün, Umweltplakette gelb.Regards

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.

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:

Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects
I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)

Road worker alert
Add an alert for workers that are not in construction zones! These are the guys that are outthere close to the edge of the road mowing the grass and picking up trash! They are vulnerable because the only alert for them is usually a sign and they are generally working with nothing between them and traffic.

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".

Road speed option
In motorcycle it does not avoid highways very well. Have an option to select the speed(and avobe) of the road you would like to avoid. Example avoid all roads that have a speed limit of 45mph or higher

Ramp and road closures
If there is a way to report closed roads and highway ramps, I can't find it. And maybe others can't too, which could be the reason why closures I've driven up to this week were not reported. Sometimes a firetruck has a road blocked. Sometimes it's a block party or a broken down vehicle. The reasons don't matter. The closed roads and ramps are what matter

Layer at multi direction road
Due to modern road infrastructure, today interchange has multiple layer, in waze will show all layer as one, thus is easy to miss judge the correct lane.

More candy on road!!
Is there a way to add more "candy" to the roads, other than just the coupe of pieces when you 1st get the app? I use the Waze app everyday, and thought it was cool when a piece of candy appeared on the road, and you would receive a few extra points for running it over. Could something be set to have one appear every 100 miles or something? I don't know what the points give you...but it would be "something", to keep people starting and running their app more often...maybe? Just a suggestion....and I think it would…

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…

Road works
Resident don't know about road works and closed roads until they get home and see it in action in Sydney, NSW. I want to know if I'm not notified by post prior. A live (real-time) map would be great for everyone! Ta

Road closure
Please for the love of god, let us report road closures in our general vicinity (5-10 mile radius), it's completely impractical and unsafe to only allow us to report something if we're 10ft from it. Often I'm on a motorcycle and can't be messing with my phone on the road, but even if I pull over, I can't report something a few hundred feet away or behind me. Especially in the mountains where reception is scarce. Same goes for gas prices. Make it make sense. Fix this.

Road width restrictions
In Europe we often get width restrictions on certain roads. This could be added at Map edit level and integrated with navigation route planning and would need a new set of parameters in the vehicle details/settings that would determine if your vehicle can actually take advantage of routes which have width restrictions!!
i have been caught out several times in an oversize vehicle before!!

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
