Road closure options
Would be nice to be able to report a road closure prior to starting trip. I know a major road is closed but I can't report it to be routed around it until I am at the closure

Emergency road closure.
I know that there is a feature to report closed roads but that is for long term. What I want to see is when I come around the corner and the fire department or police department has a road shut down because of an emergency it would be nice to know that the road is temporarily closed ahead by the Emergency Services.

Toll Transponder Preferences (for Exclusive Exits & Lanes)
In Pennsylvania (and other states, such as Florida) there are exits on toll roads that are only for holders of a certain toll transponder (such as E-ZPass) and have no cash facilities. Unlike all-electronic toll roads, using one of these ramps without a transponder is a "violation". There are also HOT (High Occupancy Toll) and Express lanes that require a transponder but may even allow for special transponders that give free rides to carpools.
Waze used to direct me to one of these ramps, which is closest to my house. However, likely because people without toll tags…

Never change my NON-TOLL route to a TOLL ROUTE without my explicit permission
We are on an extended road trip. We EXPLICITLY told Waze to avoid TOLLS. As you are driving along, Waze will pop up and suggest going the toll route because it will be faster, albeit, more expensive. If you don't happen to see the pop up and don't select "No Thanks", Waze WILL SWITCH IT AUTOMATICALLY to the TOLL ROUTE. If there's another setting to stop that, I haven't discovered it yet. You SHOULD NEVER EVER change my route just because it's faster without my explicit permission to do so.

Avoid a specific road
I've seen a number of posts regarding this, and myself have wanted this on various occasions for a number of different reasons. The alternatives (avoid highway, avoid toll, avoid dirt) are useful in many cases, but there are also many cases where they simply don't serve the actual need.
For example, this reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/comments/6vfd6m/can_i_stop_waze_from_rerouting_or_select_a/) is from a user that wants to specifically avoid the Capital Beltway (I-495). Not because it's a highway, and not because of a perceived inability for Waze to determine traffic, but just as a personal preference. As another example, sometimes when driving…

toll booth alert off switch
Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert
99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.
10 votesGreat news! The option to turn off toll booths alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

toll
Toll off - we might have been fined because we have swich off the tolls on waze and still it have sent us through the tolled route. But i have not noticed we have the country toll card on - which means it is still sening you down to the toll routes. I believe this could be changed and used in diffeent way- may tis be te alert for other to make sure you are not making the same mistake

Route with toll charge
As the route suggested in the first place is always the fastest route (even if it has associated costs), it would be nice to have a warning before starting the route, whenever it was a route that included toll roads. Thank you.

Warn me when the estimated time of my commute (by a certain route) is taking longer than usual.
I prefer not to take toll roads. They're expensive. So, if my commute by normal roads is approaching 30 minutes (which is how long I give myself to get to work), I want to know, so that I can leave with enough time to make it there without paying for the toll road.

Road Condition Rating/Grades
Showing potholes is a great feature especially in snowy climate. It would also be great to rate the road and conditions. Such as a block feature or an avoidance feature. I traveled 20mph on a road label 50mph due to how terrible the conditions was, it felt like I hit a speed bump every 40 yards. I would label this road a "D", if I could avoid these roads like a less than "C" feature, that would be awesome. User ratings paired with GPS acceleration compared to the speed limit could really help avoid these disastrous neglected road and…

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, 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!

Road Avoidance
A way to tell Waze to avoid certain roads in the app, similar to tolls etc. but any road of my choosing.
I sometimes drive vehicles that can’t go down some roads and it would be really useful to be able to tell the app to never navigate me down roads I tell it not too.6 votes -

Automate road closure Report
It is difficult to report road closures in real time - especially on a freeway - because of the approach speed and unexpected driving adjustment. If Waze inquired why I missed a turn/off-on ramp it would be helpful. This is similar to when Waze asks "you slowed down - are you in traffic?" If Waze notices that I missed a turn/off-on ramp it should ask "you missed a turn- was there a road closure ?" This way I can report later ( give me 60 secs) when safe. If I just missed the turn because I was distracted or chose…

Groups on the road
Create groups, which on the road will see their members in real time, which will share their routes and destinations. This is very useful for companies and their agents on the road.

"Workers on road side"
Can you add a "workers on side of road" choice under "hazard"? Often times when I'm driving I see workers on the side of the road mowing grass or something like that. I would like to have the ability to warn other drivers that there are people in close proximity to the road / work going on that's not exactly on the road.

Allow Preference for Open Road Tolling (no more "Exit Cash Lanes" directions)
I'm getting very tired of being told to "Exit to Cash Lanes" only to be navigated right back onto the same tollway. Best I can figure, Waze is trying to avoid you getting a ticket for driving through open road tolling areas (at least here in northern Illinois on I-294) by telling you to exit to cash lanes, but there should be an option to tell Waze you have a transponder and are good to go for open road tolling (and the app will stop telling you to exit at every open road tolling area).

Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
There should be an option to apply the above choice across the whole route to the destination or state by state or highway by highway.
For hazards and police, the “Still there” and “ Not there” choice is available only for a short period of time. It’s only after passing the location that one knows whether it is still there or not.
Generally graphics are poor: the icons for road hazard, police, construction are not intuitive. The graphics of car…3 votes
