Add information/instructions on when to add a pass
My suggestion is for the following feature:
Either:
Add an information panel when users enter the Toll and HOV passes page for the first time, informing them that adding passes may route them into areas or through restricted roads.
Or:
Allow us to add information against each pass/permit, giving the user guidance as to what each pass is for.My suggestion solves this problem:
There is less chance that the user will select a pass/permit that they shouldn’t have due to the misunderstanding of how the pass system works.In more words:
Now that Passes/Permits that users have added to…19 votes -
Price information
When you use Waze on android auto ( last version) . The toll price take the place of the statut information. This appear not in full screen but in separate screen like Waze / music / notifications.
It is possible to have the ability to switch of the option or change the place to keep the standard information readable.

Narrow street flags
Here in Pittsburgh, we're a city of hills, bluffs, and narrow, winding roads, and listening to Waze help navigate me has led to $400 in repairs and 3 near accidents in the past 2 months by taking me through poorly maintained streets and roads so narrow that, while not legally-required to be one way, nevertheless make for perilous travel with few opportunities to turn around and try another route.
If users or editors could flag narrow streets and if an option was labeled to avoid these streets, similar to the options to avoid toll roads, it would be a major…

Need option to minimize tolls. Current settings are all or nothing.
Make an option to select some tolls. Currently waze offers all or nothing. For example, my commute either takes me up the turnpike for $13 or no tolls in a round about manner. I want to see an option with the garden state parkway only tolls which are significantly less money.

Change Icons for Avoiding Tolls/Highways Etc
Right now, it's weird the way it's setup. The icons say "Avoid Tollls" or "Avoid Highways". When you touch them, they don't change their name but the image will put a line through it. To me, that feels like a double negative and is confusing. I wish it would say Tolls and Highways and when you click on it, then it would change to Avoid Tolls or Avoid Highways.

I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account.
I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account for closed/restricted roads or HOV/toll preferences correctly, voice directions are inconsistent, and certain app features or settings fail to respond. Even after basic troubleshooting (restart app/device, check permissions), the issues persist. Improvements in these areas would make Waze more reliable and user-friendly.

♿ Disabled Driver option
At the moment, there is nothing in Waze to help Disabled drivers when it comes to roads that are restricted to disabled drivers, car parks for disabled people, or tolls that are have different charges for disabled drivers. This causes wrong information such as toll costs and wrong directions to be returned. There is only limited POI information (wheelchair accessible) which only displays as text when you select a POI rather than be searchable and selectable.

Suggestion: put the tolls on the itinerary, than we could guess how much to spend on the trip!
When you go somewhere and it has some tolls you could guess how much spend on the way, and waze could mark where the tolls are and the price.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Things i wish i had on my 2k mile road trip
- allow police moving as an option
- allow tracking of route, speed, location, comments, and pins to be displayed if looking for something. (i hit a deer and the only thing I did was marked it on Waze and I don’t know where i was)
- Beep function not working for me would like to honk at others
- Announce toll booths ahead
- Price corrections on gas when parked at the gas station
- Allow notifications for comments for review later some are hilarious
Keep up all the excellent work and I LOVVVEEE the WAZE app.

Preferred Roads
Preferred Roads would allow a user to specify a list of roads they are more familiar with and prefer to take where possible, whether manually, or automatically through repetitive driving habits.
If a new route might save me 2 mins I don't care. I would still prefer to use my most familiar roads. If there is an accident and I should avoid to save 10 mins, then it could utilize less familiar roads.
Along the same lines, another collection of roads could be considered roads to avoid. This is different to avoiding Toll roads, as some toll roads are preferable…

Waze avoiding nlex tolls if you don't have easytrip
The logic of waze is wrong. Tolls in the Philippines accept both rfid and cash. So you can still pass by nlex or slex tolls using cash if you don't have the required rfid

Modify Waze CarPlay
Waze in CarPlay does not correctly visualize the routes to choose them, it does not correctly show the distance, nor does it show the costs of tolls or highways, that information should be available on the CarPlay screen, since according to current laws you cannot take your cell phone while driving.

Hi,
I live in Northern Virginia in the Washington DC suburbs. Many of my trips take me around the DC Beltway and on other roads that have "Hot Lanes." The Hot Lanes generally operate next to the regular lanes, but being toll lanes, sometimes move faster, which is why some people use them.
Most of the time, I don't use Hot Lanes because most of the time, they don't get me there appreciably faster and are not worth the money. There have, however, been times when I would have liked to have known how much time I could save by…

ezpass only roads (I-66 VA)
Waze should pop up a warning to tell users you MUST have an EZPass to use this road. This is a new issue that applies to I-66 in northern Virginia between I-495 (beltway) and DC. Effective Monday, December 4, 2017 this critical highway in the DC area used by many out of state folks, tourists and business folks alike, you must have an EZPass to get on this road. The tolls are dynamic during rush hour and have no price cap. Tolls can be $40 or more. Waze should warn drivers of this. Given the complexity of the …

Trip price calculation
The viamichelin.com route calculator gives you quite an accurate prediction of the trip price based on a few factors.
- Vehicle average consumption data (by vehicle type, mpg or l/100km).
- Distance.
- Average fuel price.
- Tolls (data publicly available, should be added to Waze).
I believe it would be very useful.

Option to limit route at max 50 mph (spare tire)
Last week I got a flat tire. After changing it with a spare one, I went back on my way. But my speed was limited to 50 mph/80kmh due to that flat tire.
Waze suggested a route with higher speed limit which is dangerous when you are limited due to a spare tire.
There should have an option to select routes with « limit to routes with max 50 mph ». Similar to the one to avoid toll roads

Time to destination/speed
While I do like coolwalk better then the previous version, I don't understand why you don't copy and paste the phone version of Waze. As someone who commutes almost 150 miles a day, the time to destination was most useful. I could tell how much traffic there was by the time to destination. Now it was replaced with toll pricing, which is not even accurate. Speed and speed limit need to be on the drivers side and also as a colorblind person, the red over black is even more difficult to see in addition to the font being incredibly small.…

Clean Special Fuel Vehicle HOV Access
In Virginia they offer Clean Special Fuel Vehicle license plates for vehicles to access to only certain HOV lanes. For example, I cannot use I-95 EZ Pass for free unless I have 3+ people, but I can use the Dulles Toll Road and a few others that meet the criteria for the IRS for Clean Special Fuel Vehicles.
We need an option to put in the type of playe/access that will route away from tolls, but allow us to use the HOV lanes where it is free. I'm sure this is similar in other states and places.
