  2. Straighter/easier routes setting

    There should be a way to set a preference for straighter/easier routes. Often, Waze suggests a route with a bunch of turns down small side streets or a really curvy road just to save one minute on a 20-minute drive when there was a more direct route such as a main road or highway. With this preference enabled, Waze would default to a route with a slightly longer duration that is much simpler and requires fewer turns.

  3. 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 !

  4. Convoy mode

    Multiple accounts linked together showing the same route regardless of configuration. That would help convoys to stay together. Also tracking and highlighting other members of the convoy. Maybe somekind of "wait for me" or "dont wait for me" button.

  5. Quality of road surface w/ permanence

    Allow users to report the quality of the road surface (beyond the occasion pothole / object in the road). A crowd sourced critique of how smooth/good the road surface is that has “permanence”. Like construction notices, when planning routes out of town, this could help drivers avoid bad sections of Interstate/ State routes. Add this category to reporting button so drivers can share their assessment, recheck every mile (“still a road quality of rough?) once a driver flags the road surface as poor / rough / bumpy / etc. Not to be alerted, but to be used in route planning…

  6. Rank routes by least number of minutes in traffic

    For a long drive, calculate "% of time spent in traffic" and "# of minutes spent in traffic" and include that as a criteria.

    We just stared at 3 different routes for a 4+ hour drive that had varying lengths and amount of time in stop & go traffic. We would have liked to have selected easily "the one that makes the car move the most and has the least stop & go, so we don't get car sick and our children don't wake up."

  9. Safest route i.t.o. crime

    In countries like South Africa there are certain high crime areas that should be avoided. If you read the news there are frequent reports of tourists especially, taking a short route unknowingly through a dangerous area and becoming a victim of crime or worse being murdered (sadly this is true). It would be great if one could select a "safest route" option which may not necessarily be the quickest. PLEASE.

  10. Reroute traffic from Penelope Avenue in Middle Village Queens

    Avoid directing cars onto Penelope Avenue in Middle Village, Queens from Metropolitan Ave and Juniper Vally Blvd. The latter two streets are much better suited for high traffic volume, particularly during rush hour. When drivers are directed to Penelope by Waze, it creates backup as the street is not designed to accommodate the same amount of two way traffic, and has also increased traffic related incidents as a result.

  11. enabled / disabled toll roads

    I have a suggestion for the development of the program.
    In Hungary, you can expect county (county) highway stickers. It is not mandatory to purchase a highway sticker for the entire country. It would be a useful function if it were possible to mark in the program which toll roads of the given country the user is allowed to use. For example, if I have a sticker for the counties of Pest, Heves, Borsod-Abaúj Zemplén and Hajdú-Bihar, I could use these sections of the M3 and M35 when going to Nyíregyháza, but before entering the county of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, the navigation…

  12. 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.

  13. Enhancing Navigation by Selectively Considering Planned Road Closures

    One possible solution could be to include a checkbox that allows editors to choose which planned closures are considered so important that they should be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective. This way, editors can select only the closures that are critical for navigation, while excluding those that are not as important.

    For example, in Switzerland these days, the Gotthard Tunnel is closed at night for cleaning. This closure can cause significant disruptions to travel, as the Gotthard Tunnel is an essential link between German-speaking Switzerland and the Italian-speaking Ticino region. Without the tunnel, the detour…

  16. Multiple kind of private roads

    Several categories of private roads exist.

    The common is that transit should not be allowed within them.
    But after that different categories exists :

    Some are open but only visitors allowed
    Some other are physically closed with or without the ability to open them.
    It would be useful to be able to map those categories so Waze would warn the driver before driving about the condition of the destination, and eventually change destination if it is not reachable.

  17. Show bus lanes in motorcycle mode

    In Australia, we can drive in bus lanes if you drive a motorcycle/scooter, therefore please preference a route with a bus lane, as it will be much quicker than one without.

  18. Add slippery or wet floor alerts

  19. Route suggestion is wrong

    Time calculated for closest route between São José dos Campos-SP from Ilhabela-SP is wrong. I did it in half the time! What is going on? The suggested option was much longer and timely. I ignored because I knew it was NOT the best option.
