Hazard on the road
When there is a “hazard” on the road, Waze tells me in audio that there is a hazard and only on screen will identify the specific hazard I.e. car on side of road. It would be great if Waze said out loud the specific hazard so I didn’t need to take my eyes off the road to look at the screen.

Add "avoid border crossings" setting, just like avoid toll roads or ferries.
Navigating from New York to Detroit, there's a route that crosses through Canada. I didn't bring my passport and wish to avoid this, but if I manually force another route, I might miss out on traffic-responsive optimizations. It should be possible to avoid border crossings just like any other route preference.

Remaining travel time instead of toll value
If there are tolls involved on the route, its being showed the toll value instead of the remaining travel time. It should always show the remaining travel time or there should be an options to choose what to show.

Custom Road Hazard tags
Allow for custom Road Hazard labels. The current selection is quite general, but it would be nice to have the ability to pre-create custom hazard tags for those times when adding a description isn't possible.

toll estimator
today while driving I was given a choice of three routes, all of which had tolls. It would be great if there was an estimate on how much the total tolls would be for each route since I know from personal experience that one of the routes given had substantially lower tolls and only added two minutes to the trip

Routes via specific road
Plan or change a route to use a specific road ie. a specific interstate road, state road, local road, so the route will go specifically how you want to drive it. Many times the suggested routes are not the best. One knows this after having driven a certain route multiple times. Waze does not know this.

Ability to report road closure with voice command
I would like to be able to report road closures without having to touch the phone since I always come across them unexpectedly and never have time to enter the report manually.
After straying from Waze's route I would like to be able to initiate a voice command and say "road closure" and have Waze take that to mean that I strayed from it's route because of a road closure at the point where I left the route.

In states that use IPASS & similar toll systems, modify Waze to indicate that cash lanes or toll pass lanes are an option
The app currently routes us to the cash lanes - it doesn't take into account that IPASS lanes (& similar state toll lanes) are an option; please change

Time since road been driven
Tells user most recent time since another wazer traveled that road, highway, street, etc.
This idea would allow users to know accuracy of road reports, or if none be aware of possible reports.

Hazard ON the Road option
Under Report/Hazard on Road/On Road - one of the options should be, Vehicle ON ROAD. There are many times I find a vehicle broken down on the road which is much more dangerous than a vehicle on the shoulder.

I get many times into roads that marked with this or that level of traffic jam, while the road is clear. You should add "ROAD CLEAR" button
I get many times into roads that marked with this or that level of traffic jam, while the road is clear. You should add "ROAD CLEAR" button to allow drivers to report each other about New & Clear Road Conditions (not only hazards on road and or traffic jams).

When sounds are turned off (or for the hearing impaired), there is no indication of which side of the road on which the destination lies on the screen.

2-way road option when munching & mapping new roads
Most roads that I've ever driven on are 2-way roads, yet waze assumes that any new road recorded or cookie munched is on a 1-way road. I'd like a client option to default them to 2-way, since I know that there are areas where 1-way roads prevail. If I happen to munch a 1-way road while in 2-way mode, I can easily correct it in cartouche later, but I'd much rather correct 3-5% of the roads (or less) than 95-97%.

Vehicle "attaches" to road
I have noticed that the vehicle icon "attaches" to the road on the map. There are a couple of issues with this. When I am in an unmapped area, such as in a parking lot, the vehicle tends to jump back and forth between its actual location and the nearest road. Also, the exit I take on my morning commute has not updated yet, so WAZE tells me to take the exit prior to it. Even though I do not take that exit the vehicle icon does and shows me driving on the service road rather than on the…

Remove 407 warnings
Please remove the alert "Caution Tool Road" when on or near the 407. I don't need to be reminded every 30 seconds that I am on a tool road. Also I was getting a caution on the 412. It is no longer a toll road.

You should be able to put a parameter like number of minutes saved to say don't reroute me unless it saves x minutes
WAZE will re-route when it only saves about 2 minutes. I want to be able to set a parameter that says don't re-route me unless it saves more than 5 minutes. Also don't re-route me to a toll road unless it saves 10 minutes

Toll booth waiting time
Everytime I stop at a toll booth, the app asks if there is traffic jam. Instead of that, it would be nice to have toll booths identified in the map and once near it, the app would calculate the average time users are spending on each site, excluding fast passages as they would represent tagged vehicles. To display it, a bar similar to traffic jam would do just fine. With that, the ETA would be less affected by long lined in toll booths.
