Avoid a specific road or place as a one-off when planning a route
I know we've had posts from people wanting to a avoid a particular road they never want to use in the past but what about a one off option to avoid one during the planning phase?
I needed to navigate at the weekend and had been informed a few hours before of a road closure on the most ideal route, Waze didn't know about this and obviously I can't report it until I'm there, so I wanted to avoid a particular location and have Waze route me around it.
I was sure there was an "avoiding" option during the planning…

Avoid car only roads
Sometimes a car is towing a trailer and they're not allowed on the same roads as only cars. It would be nice to be able to hit a button and not have to worry about driving down a road you're not allowed to be on.

road trip attractions
add attractions like "horses to the right, or xxxxx monument on the left in .2 miles" would be nice for the passengers to be looking forward to seeing some ponies or cows on a roadtrip & not miss them (ik personally they are my fave parts of roadtrips!)

Add an EASY to access button for road closures, this may be in the case of an accident or dangerous situations like robberies
Add an EASY to access button for road closures, this may be in the case of an accident or dangerous situations like robberies, violent protests, dangerous hazards on the road, roads fallen in/sunk. This is critical as an alternative rout needs to be calculated ASAP especially in a dangerous situation.

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I…

Turn reminder if been on road with no turns for a while
I was on a road that had no turns for about 10 miles and then missed my turn as had not looked at Waze for some time. I have notifications off but thought would be a good idea to set Waze so that if you have not turned for some time could get it to make a noise or something to remind you of the turn up ahead.

Danger Alarm(Warn Dangerous Points in the Roads)
Hello . I live in Iran. Every year in our country, 30000 die in traffic accident and many injure. There are some places in our roads that frequently accidents happen in the places. One place that I know is the entrance of our city from highway that sometimes bad accidents happen in there. This is because of the inaccurate and inefficient design of the roads. Those who are familiar with the place mostly ride carefully in the dangerous part of the roads, and accidents often happen for those that are unfamiliar with the road.
I suggest…

You have our clinic location wrong. Institute of Sports and spines is located at 1566 Wynnum Road, Tingalpa Qld 4173, not at 820 Old Cleveland Road, Carina Qld 4152. You need to update your map. Additionally, trying to sign up to an account to edit the map is not easy at all.

Reduce the excessive frequency of too many warnings on the same stretch of road
Waze = Good morning.
I would kindly like to suggest an implementation of functions, regarding voice warnings, as they are truly TOO MANY and TOO FREQUENT on the same stretch of road! Very repetitive indeed, and so distracting!
In fact, constantly hearing the voice assistant that in a verbose way warns you every 200 meters, instead of just once, or at most twice, no longer makes you pay attention to any turns or changes.We couldn't even talk to each other in the car anymore, with that continuous non-stop voice every two minutes! I had to disable them completely…

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,…

I'd like to turn off the notification for a car on the side of the road but still listen to Rodger Federer's voice
The Car on the side of the road ding is so loud and obnoxious that I don't want to hear it. I still want to listen to the voice guidance. Please, either get rid of the ding or give me the choice to turn off alerts and still have the voice guidance.

Prefer main roads
Please install main roads button, so in cities I take main roads instead of all those side roads just to save a minute but burn way more petroleum and drive zip zag. So if the roads will be similar time waze would preafare main roads, if time would be different fore 5 minutes and more it would take side roads. This would help especially on long journies, we're I can not zoom in every little city all the time.

To mark street - Kids are playing
Dear Waze Maps,
My friends and I have come across a problem. This problem is kids playing on a community road/street. This presents a risk to kids , drivers , and property. For example , a kid who is playing on the road could get injured by a car hitting him/her. The car could also swerve and hit another car , injuring the driver and/or car. Another possibility is for the car to hit property like : signs , decorations , houses , or light posts.
A person who is familiar with the road usually doesn't use Waze maps…
209 votesWe plan to work on marking the street with playing kids in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

"I hope to remove the road name display because it often blocks my view of intersections."
I hope to remove the road name display because it often blocks my view of intersections. it’s annoying and frustrating, it affects my view of the route. I also want to cancel it, but I can’t find a way to remove it.

Speak command icon near report a road condition.
I use my iphone in landscape mode and wave and 3 fingers don't work safely. A button on the main nav page near the report icon would be great to initiate the speak command
