Take one toll on route but avoid another
If there is more than one toll on a route, I would appreciate if we were able to select that we want to take one toll but avoid another.
Eg. I have two tolls on my way to work, one is $5 and saves me 15 min, the other is $6 and only saves me 5 min, so I want the route to take me through the first toll and avoid the second.
Right now Waze will only let me either take tolls or none at all

Importing a planned route into Waze
My friends and I often go riding with the motorcycle, convertible, or old‑timer.
Most of the time we follow pre‑planned routes that are created in, for example, a .gpx file.It would be a real win‑win if Waze could offer a way to upload these planned routes, combined with real‑time obstacles, roadworks, and controls.
Right now, we can enter our destination and Waze gives us the most recent updates. We’re curious whether it might become possible in the future to import a planned route.
Fingers crossed already.

Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue
I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety problem with Waze routing in South Africa.
Waze repeatedly routes users through extremely dangerous areas and known hijacking hotspots in order to save only a few minutes of travel time. This has placed myself, my family members, and many others into life-threatening situations, including multiple attempted hijackings.
This is not hypothetical. There is documented precedent of fatal incidents caused by GPS routing into unsafe areas in South Africa, including the widely reported case of an elderly couple murdered in Cape Town after following…2 votes -
It would be appreciated to add the "Avoid high-risk areas" setting in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
There are many dangerous streets and neighborhoods here. Avoiding them is crucial for the delay ride.

multistop saved routes
Every weekday morning I drop my daughter off at school on my way to work. I set my work address in waze first and then "add a stop" and put in my daughter's school. It would be nice to have an option to set saved route with multiple stops so that I could select it each morning in one step.

Fix the catastrophically bad basic route-planning
Stop gaslighting users about traffic, faster routes and GPS - Waze algorithms for route planning are the issue.!
It's the same on every journey. It needs fixing. Properly and urgently.
PS The picture is not my vehicle. ; )
The simplest journey, from my door to the local highway should be a straight road, 2.5 minutes but Waze makes a 270 degree loop, three times or more as long, on identical roads and traffic.
It is completely unreliable for journeys of every length - and it's not my GPS or traffic conditions!

Rua Íngreme
Olá equipe Waze.
O aplicativo é muito bom, mas acho viável a possibilidade de implementação de uma função para evitar ruas íngremes. Aqui em Belo Horizonte existem ruas que vão para o ceu. ***.1 vote -
Stop auto re-routing to save nominal time.
Perhaps the greatest problem with Waze is when the inconvenience of taking a nonstandard route is not proportional to the time savings the new route provides. All too often I’m taken on an insane route in comparison to the normal one just to save two minutes.
I would like to prevent Waze from automatically rerouting (or suggesting an alternative “best route”) unless the new route saves 10 minutes of the total “mainstream” route time.
Perhaps people could choose different thresholds for reroutes.
I hate it when all of a sudden I’m rerouted in traffic on the highway to take the…

Toll vs no toll cost estimating
Currently, Waze shows estimated costs for tolls which is very helpful. However, I think it would be very beneficial if there was a feature comparing the estimated cost of taking a toll road vs taking the longer ‘no toll’ option. For example, if a toll road might cost $5 but saves 15 minutes of driving, based on current average fuel prices (typical fuel type and average L/100km entered by user) could a cost estimate for fuel used on the longer route be used to compare and inform the decision for which route to take? For example, the $5 toll saving…

Setting for toll road suggestion
Have a setting in the app, where you can request a minimum time savings before the app gives you toll road suggestions. For example, only provide toll road options. If the time savings is 10 minutes or more. I do not need toll options when it’s only going to save me three minutes.

Screen flash
Hi, because I focus on the road. I only look at my phone when checking the route as I prefer not to have the Voice.
Please can you introduce a flashing screen when a hazard approaches or speed camera which would immediately advise a driver to slow down as in Formula One at a black Red flag, etc1 vote -
Proposals to improve driving
I notice that all the traffic reports made while driving (roadworks, blocked lanes, etc.) last too short.
I drive the same route every day and don't see the reports made the day before.
I also find it inconvenient, and dangerous, to post the above reports because they distract from driving and can be dangerous.
There should be a quicker and easier way to post the reports, and they should remain active for longer.
Furthermore, why not report traffic along the route by changing the arrival time color, like Google Maps, which changes the arrival time color depending on the traffic…1 vote -
Include traffic signal count on route summary.
For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

feature request: please consider adding a feature that allows users to-enter multiple destinations at once (multi stop routing).automatically sort them either: by distance from the current location (closest to farthest) or in a specific direction (from south to north) .

Feature needed to highlight favourite routes and also disliked ones
Feature needed to favourite routes loved to re-use as well as highlight disliked routes to avoid. If a favourite route is too busy or blocked, offer an alternative route but check the favourite route first and let the driver choose. Also an option is needed to highlight routes that one doesn’t like and wants to avoid. Such as narrow country lanes and roads with speed bumps.

Create a Vehicle-Aware Routing System for Waze
The Waze Team should consider incorporating a feature that can detect a user’s vehicle and its specifications, such as its height and weight, and to use that data when generating routes. Incidents such as over-height trucks striking low bridges, overweight vehicles damaging roads, and large trucks being directed into streets that are too narrow could be significantly prevented through this vehicle-aware routing. Implementing this would be a significant step towards leveraging emerging technologies to improve user experience and safety in a way that other GPS systems currently fail to account for.

Fix “add a stop”
This isn’t a new idea, just a quality of life update that needs to happen. Please fix the add a stop search feature that will not just look for any option fitting the search description but the closest on the route and display or notify how much time is added to the trip. If I am in a new area and I am looking for a particular food stop or something, say srarbucks for this example, every stratbucks in the usa comes up in the search but they aren’t sorted by the closest on the route but rather anything any…

Add stops
Before, it was possible to add multiple stops on Waze, and this is important for me since I work with deliveries. However, after the latest updates, it's only possible to add a single stop. On top of that, instructions like "turn right," "turn left," and "roundabout" are no longer being spoken, which makes using Waze impractical and forces me to rely on Google Maps. Please bring back the feature to add multiple stops because, even on the slowest day, I have seven consecutive deliveries to complete. I live in Brazil, where security is terrible if not nonexistent and having to…
