  1. Add tunnels to exceptions

    Hundred thousands of people are claustrophobic and don’t want to pass through tunnels or get stuck in one during a traffic jam.

  2. Report and show long term roadworks

    Since I am driving thousands of kilometers a month I need a button to report long term roadworks especially for highways/autobahn. And with that it would be nice if the lenght of the roadwork is shown too - it could look the same like the time it takes to come through a traffic jam on the left side of the screen.
    The first report marks the beginning of the roadwork, the second the end of it. In Germany there are signs where they write the estimated end date of the current roadwork. That could be reported too.
    That would be…

  4. Display next instuction after the current one

    It would be really handy if you could always show the turn instruction after the current on screen instruction. It will help with early lane positioning. Ideally including the lane that you need to be in.

  5. Optie voor tractors (snelwegen EN ook autowegen vermijden)

    Hallo, ik ben tractorchauffeur. En voor tractors is het verboden om op snelwegen en autowegen te komen. Het zou dus makkelijk zijn als je ook de optie hebt om autowegen te vermijden.

  6. Ability to add obstructions offline

    Wish there was a way to add (eg, road closures) offline - currently it seems the only way to do it is to actually drive there until the triangle button appears on the screen. Trying to warn everyone as a closed road is currently showing as roadworks/closed lane.

  7. Leave the overview map on the screen until I change it.

    In Google Maps, when I get to the Overview Screen, it stays on the screen and slowly zooms in until I get to my destination. In Waze, the Overview Screen only stays for a few seconds, then reverts to the basic navigation screen. Please make Waze more like Maps and let me keep the Overview Screen on the display until I change it!

  8. End route at end of closed segments

    When the destination would end on a segment that is currently closed the route ends on the next closest segment (that isn't closed) which in many cases is a road in the back of the property where there's no access to the destination.

    Consider ending the route at the last node that is not closed on the route - at the node the closure ends/starts.

  9. Provide Cost for Dynamic Toll Roads

    When a suggested route includes a toll that has flexible prices based on other factors, please provide the cost for the toll for that route. For example, in and around Washington, DC, there are several toll roads that have flexible prices based on traffic, time of day, etc. It would be useful when selecting when to use a route with one of those tolls if Waze could provide us the amount we will be charged for the suggested route.

  10. Lowest toll charges

    If the route durations are almost the same, it’ll be good if Waze can automatically place the one with the lowest toll charges as 1st option

  11. Deleting old routes efficiently

    I would like to delete routes I no longer need with only two or three moves. Similar to deleting messages in the inbox.

  12. UK time restrictions (School Streets)

    Monday to Friday
    No entry between 8am and 9:15am."
    And 2:45pm and 4:00pm."

    There are loads of these signs in hundreds of cities all over the UK especially London. Can't we allow for local map editors to save time based restrictions into the map?

  13. Penalise routing through unpaved roads

    Problem:
    Users with "allow unpaved roads" attribute on the client are oftenly routed through unpaved roads. They complain on why they are routed through these when other routes are available.

    Description:
    Unpaved roads are often rough, uncomfortable and dirty. When the user has selected "allow unpaved roads" they expect to see better routes. When there are no other available options to get to a place, or when the paved option is tens of kilometers longer, then unpaved roads make sense. However, when there are several routes with paved roads and some unpaved roads, users are not expecting to drive through…

  14. adding no commercial plates filter

    Allowing a filter for choosing passenger cars only routes or commercial vehicles allowed. This would be helpful to plan routes and side routes avoiding parkways or roads in the NYC area which do not allow commercial plated vehicles on those roads

  15. Left hand HOV Lanes

    Waze does not reliably suggest HOV lanes. When HOV lanes are dedicated, Waze will regularly suggest them when selecting an HOV route, but when it's a permissive lane (separated by dashed lines rather than separated by a physical barrier), Waze will not suggest the lane most of the time.

    When a Wazer selects an HOV route, permissive HOV lanes should be suggested.

  16. When a second destination is entered, have the option to keep the first destination as a stop

    When a second destination is entered, have the option to keep the first destination as a stop. Currently if we set the second destination as new final destination the first destination is removed.

  17. Voie qu'un véhicule ne peut empruner (se termine par un escalier)

    Vous indiquez une voie qui n'est pas possible en véhicule (Rue de la montée des écoles à l'Estaque 13 Marseille). J'ai emprunté cette voie avec mon véhicule que j'ai sévèrement endommagé car j'ai du faire marche arrière du fait que la rue se termine par un ESCALIER! Veuillez retirer cette rue des propositions de route.

  19. 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.

  20. Save a route, not just a destination.

    Save a route, not just a destination. We have a new driver in our house and we'd like to save specific routes for her to follow. We realize this could impact the time to destination but would be acceptable in certain situations
