More elaborate vehicle choice
It would be really perfect to be able to choose the type of private vehicle, such as a car + cart. As a result, the speed limits change and so does the journey time. It would be perfect if the approximate cost of the toll also changed based on the number of axles, for example car + trolley with 3 total axles and the toll increases.

Route Alerts
The shortened route alert should have user specified times. I do not care about saving 3 minutes on a 6 hour drive. There should also be a limited number of times Waze asks for this route. My last trip I ended up just letting Waze reroute me onto a toll road costing money because it wouldn't shut up about the 10 minutes I would save on my 3 hour trip.
There should also be a user settable feature where you can select how much you are willing to pay to save money. If an alternate route is faster but a …

"Prefer Freeways" instead of "Avoid Tolls"
Currently, you can set Waze to 'avoid tolls' which is handy - but this prevents Waze from recommending tollways when there is traffic on the freeway. For example, in Dallas we have 635 and 635 Express. Both follow the exact same path, the only difference is the express lanes cost around $5. It would be very nice if Waze would prefer the freeway, but still recommend the tollway if there is significant traffic reported on the freeway.
Also, Waze seems to have trouble telling if I am on the freeway or tollway, since they are basically…

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…

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 .

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

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.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

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...

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

Easier access/access to changing routes
Currently not able to see what the 3 optional routes stand for. All i see are 3 different coloured lines with different routes.. Previously i remember showing a shortest route/shortest time and avoid toll 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

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…

Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung nach Uhrzeit oder Wetter
Vielerorts gibt es Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen nach Uhrzeit (z.B. vor Schulen oder zum Lärmschutz) diese werden nicht nach aktueller Uhrzeit angezeigt. Selbiges gilt für wetterabhängige Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen (Regen oder Nebel) hier wäre eine Kopplung mit einem lokalen Wetterdienst toll

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…
