Notify if place is closed when starting a route
Google Maps will notify you when you begin a route if the place you are going to is closed. Can this function be added to Waze?

RV/Truck routing
Any possibility in the future to be able to choose RV or Tractor Trailer as your vehicle then trigger truck routes that would send you around low clearances or sharp turns, step grades etc.?

Autodetect closures and closed roads
Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.
Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed…

bridge
I think an option in the driver settings to ‘avoid low bridges’ would be a useful tool for many.

Add “Avoid Width Restrictions”
I’ve got a pretty big car and hate width restrictions when I’m driving through the rat race of London rushing to get to work.
If you can add “Avoid Width Restrictions” any road with a width restriction that would really help! Thanks !33 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Predictive Routing
As awesome as Waze is, the fact that it can never remember my route to work is a little annoying. Every week I drive the same route to the office and Waze takes me on a similar route, I think that if you drive the same route enough times to and from the same locations, Waze should recognize that and load the route you always take as the main route.

Allow Waze to resume my route after I stop.
When I stop along my route, Waze doesn't resume my route when I get back in the car. I have to re-program the route. This will force me to return to Google Maps as my travel app when I'd prefer to use Waze.

Evacuation zones
I know these currently exist via Champs/Coordinators, this is a suggestion on how these work.
We in NC have had a big issue with DOT not knowing every closed road and considered almost half the state as closed. NC leadership worked with champs and coordinators to get an evacuation zone set up. However, we noticed that routing through this zone was still enabled. Based on this here is 2 suggestions we came up with.
1 - Route Around - This suggestion is to restrict travel from outside the zone to outside the zone through the zone completely. This is the…

Create Waze Vehicle Profiles
It would be nice to have Vehicle profiles, and change them rapidly on the Main Menu.
For example:
I use a Private Diesel Car most of the times.
I also ride a Gasoline Motorcycle (witch can ride the BUS lane in Oporto - Portugal)
I can also use an TAXI Electrical Car.In this case I should be able to create 3 Vehicle profiles on the Settings, and on the main menu, choose witch one we want to use at the moment, so that routes can be calculated accordingly. Otherwise, I must go to Definitions and Change the Type of…

Mixed routing strategy (Fastest, shortest, economical,... and others to come)
The "best" route is often a matter of personnal compromise.
It's often a mix of fastest, shortest, and more and more road cost / fuel economy.
I suggest we add a "Mixed" routing strategy, that could follow our preferences.We could think of a system starting with 100 points that the user would share among the different "strategies" of routing.
For instance, one could set :
* Fastest : 50 points
* Shortest : 30 points
* Economy : 20 points.That has the big advantage to allow other routing strategy for future.
* Less traffic lights : 5 points…20 votes -
Please allow vehicle selection for large vehicles
Please allow configuration of routes that are suitable for large vehicles and campers. We have a toy hauler that is 40ft long so with our dually and trailer we’re over 50ft long and very tall like at least 12ft tall. We use Waze for all our navigation. For our recent trip Waze has taken us in very tight spots such as low lines and very narrow roads. It’s been awful for our vacation trip. Please fix

Allow users to set routing preferences based on factors other than journey time
Waze comes up with some extraordinary routes to minimise journey time, but the best route is a combination of several factors. How about allowing users to set preferences for other factors such as shorter distance, minimising turns, best fuel consumption etc.

HOV only ramps and roads
When Wazers select an HOV route, because of the way HOV was implemented, any direct access ramp or otherwise HOV only road will never be suggested.
Waze needs to be able to suggest all HOV options, including HOV only flyovers and ramps.

Remove street tags
It will be good to remove street names tags from the route, especially near turns . I did lost couple times just because I couldn't see where exactly I should turn because street name tag was exactly on my arrow.
