avoid a specified road would be a great feature.
It would be great if I could avoid a particular road I hate driving on the way home. Its not a toll or a dirt road, and I dont want to change my preferences just to avoid the same road , but I hate it. Its unlit, fast, narrow and has a really annoying junction and a big width restriction. I just want to tell Waze to never route that way. Id rather take 5 more minutes getting home .

verbose mode II
I would like waze to tell me about better courses not taken when relevant. For example when passing next to a toll road which would shorten the route, I would like waze to tell me that a shorter route exists, but was not chosen because I did not allow toll roads in the path.

Better Route Planning Idea
Just like the toll booth warning in any route plan, there should be a warning that the route REQUIRES A FERRY to get to your destination...absolutely ridiculous...

Maps updates (more frequently)
Hello,
I would like to ask why the maps are not updated more frequently? In metro Atlanta, they have added new toll lanes on I-75. Those routes have not been added and when we are using those lanes using Waze they are very confusing with all the nonsense directions we hear. These new toll lanes were added a year ago, and as of today in 2020, no updates yet!! Thank you for listening to my request

Ability to add an E-Z Pass discount
Where I live there are E-Z Pass discount programs depending on where you live. For example, because I live in a certain town, I get a discount on one of the tolls that I have to drive to get out of town. Normally, the toll is $1.25 but I only have to pay 10 cents. I feel like Waze often doesn't suggest that route because there is a large toll but for me there isn't so I'd rather go that way than a round about way to avoid the toll. And yes, I do know about the setting…

Easier access/access to changing routes

Give warning when routing through ferries
Hi,
Currently Waze gives you a warning when routing through toll roads, but not when routing through ferries where the majority are also paid. It would be nice that Waze also then gives a warning when routing with ferries.
Thanks

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

Add routes that *avoid* red light and speed cameras similar to routes that avoid tolls.
Similar to routes that avoid tolls there should be routes that avoid speed cameras and red light cameras.

"This route avoids tolls" when avoid-tolls option is on.
Suggestion: A note that "This route avoids tolls" when avoid-tolls option is on.
We (and others too) had that we were taking a much longer route (more than 40 minutes extra!) because we didn't realize that avoid-tolls is on...
Thanks so much!

Dynamically configure waze session based on Bluetooth connection (for motorbike/car/truck)
Certain apps have the ability to detect what Bluetooth device is connected.
My suggestion is to allow users to pre-configure different Bluetooth connections to different vehicular modes, for example, a Bluetooth headset may be used on a motorbike and therefore Waze could detect that this Bluetooth connection is present and set itself for motorbike mode, likewise, an in-car radios own Bluetooth connection could be configured for a car, and finally, a different Bluetooth connection could also be configured for a truck, I envisaged then that this would allow users to predefine certain options like toll passes, low emission zones and…

Geotagged event triggers
Allow the user to define an event such as playing one of your own sounds, display one of your own photos or play a music track at or near specific places. Example uses - get onto a fast stretch of road and your music changes, and changes back when you get into town again. Get a mile from a toll booth and a note appears telling you how much money to have ready. Drive near a grocer and your recording says "don't forget to get the eggs". Go past a tourist attraction and a recording tells you about it. You…

Search bar for Tolls and HOV passes
In the Tolls and HOV passes menu, there are a lot of passes for a while (in the past there were only passes for my country), and I have to scroll through them to find the pass I'm looking for. It is really a lot, I guess for the whole of Europe. It would be beneficial to have a search bar for this menu to be able to filter/search passes.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my old…5 votes -

MORE navigation options, in addition to shorter time or distance
I would LOVE for waze to have multiple options for routes. For instance :
Standard options:
- shortest distance
- shortest time
Standard avoids :
- avoid toll roads
- avoid highwaysNew ones:
- least turns
- least traffic lights ;New avoiding routes:
- avoid construction routes
- avoid one lane streets
- avoid streets with traffic moving slower thanAll of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It can…
