  1. Toll limit

    There needs to be an option to be able to specify which toll roads to use on a given route.

    Oftentimes I'm going to a location where I only use portion of the paid highway as the second half of the journey is very expensive and I am able to divert.

    However, Waze always sends me the highway way as the fastest route, despite not being the most efficient or cost saving.

    This could be easily overcome but being able so set a cap price on tolls OR being able to add highway roads to an exception list within the…

  2. Emergency Route Mode

    "Emergency Route Mode" – a new Waze feature that instantly calculates the fastest route in urgent situations, bypassing all preferences (tolls, traffic, dirt roads, rural routes, highways, etc.). It builds user trust in real time, strengthens brand loyalty, and opens strong monetization channels via smart emergency ads, premium upgrades, and city partnerships.

  3. remove question after chacking for alternative routes

    recently you've changed the location of the alternative routes button. in addition to that change after selecting route you've added another step, a question asking if I want to continue, like when starting a ride.
    this question is unnecessary and I suggest you remove it. it wasn't there before the change and there is no reason for it to be now.
    hope you'd take my suggestion

  4. Download Routes

    Having downloadable routes, would really for help for areas like the Peak District or coastal areas where there is little to no GPS or Cellular Network.
    Being stuck in the middle of nowhere, with no network or gps is not a pleasant experience, especially when the existing route has failed, very likely to being out of cellular networks range

  5. Waze update has altered the route options, seemingly imitating the style used by Google Maps.

    Waze update has altered the route options, seemingly imitating the style used by Google Maps. Why on earth are they copying that approach? It’s shorter, yes, but far more confusing. I highly doubt anyone appreciates this change. Could you revert it to the previous format?

  6. Alternate route for immediate area

    My commute is 13 miles both city and highway. When i have issues near my house, Waze needs to offer alternate route based on proximity. I need to find a new route where i am at, not at the end. For now, i just turn to force it to do something else.

  7. HAUTEUR LIMITÉ

    Très important de signaler les ponts ou tunnels d’une hauteur inférieure à 2.80 m (voiture avec vélos sur le toit ou van, …) et d’en tenir compte dans le calcul d’itinéraires.

  8. Option to Disable Auto-Rerouting After Route Is Set

    Hello,
    I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to disable automatic rerouting after setting a route.
    As a driver, it’s not always possible (or safe) to constantly check the device to notice when Waze changes the route and tap “No thanks” in time to stay on the original path.

    There are countries where you must follow a specific route due to legal or financial reasons — for example, vignette zones, road restrictions, or toll obligations. When Waze changes the route automatically, it can cause problems such as fines, invalid route logs, or entering roads not suitable for the…

  9. Alternate routes options

    possibility for drivers to share different routes.
    For example.
    I work in a high traffic jam / high accident area.
    When I bring Waze up.
    It only gives me an option for 3 direct routes.
    Despite their being back road options or other possibilities.
    I would love if there was an option for the driver to submit alternatives.
    Or :
    choose from other alternatives.

  10. Ability to Create a Custom Route on Waze

    I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to create a custom route — not just by choosing from preset options, but by selecting specific roads or waypoints to shape the path they want to follow.

    For example, I often travel between two cities, and while Waze suggests two or three routes, none of them match the one I actually prefer — an alternative road with a divided highway that takes the same amount of time but offers a much better driving experience.

  11. Stop changing routes automatically while I'm driving!

    Waze needs to stop AUTOMATICALLY changing my route on me. It's frustrating especially when I chose the non-toll route on the way back. Then I look at the app and it's showing the route I did NOT choose!!

  13. Rota por velocidade média

    Às vezes, o aplicativo sugere uma rota com tempo total menor, mas com distância bem maior do que as outras opções. Por exemplo: 5 minutos a menos e 10 km a mais. Portanto, sugiro mostrar a velocidade média (Distância Total/Tempo Total) de cada opção de rota

  14. Light commercial toll pricing.

    Good morning, including toll pricing is a great bit of information. With the amount of families in Australia now owning dual cab utes, these are considered a “light commercial” vehicle and are tolled at a higher rate. Can Waze maps please have the option to select different toll categories so families are able to budget easier for trips or even road trip holidays.

  15. Route by average speed

    Sometimes the app suggests a route with a shorter total time, but with a much greater distance than the other options. For example: 5 minutes less with 10km more. Therefore, I suggest showing the average speed (Distance/Time) of each option.

  17. Feature Suggestion – “Follow a Friend” Mode

    I’d love to suggest a new feature that could really help users who are traveling in separate cars to the same destination.

    The idea is a “Follow a Friend” mode where one driver can request to follow another through the Waze app. Here’s how it could work:
    • You enter your friend’s phone number or select them from your contacts.
    • They receive a notification asking if they’d like to share their live location with you.
    • If they accept, their vehicle would appear on your Waze map in real time, allowing you to follow them while still navigating your…

  19. Autobahn / Highway prefering

    It should be possible to not only avoid highways, we should also be able to choose to prefer them please. Nearly every time my ETA is getting earlier on the highway.

    Man sollte Autobahnen nicht nur vermeiden, sondern auch priorisieren können, da man dort sehr oft viel Fahrtzeit einsparen kann.

  20. Cuando se añade una parada deberia mostrar los kilometros de la primera ruta y segunda ruta. Hoy solo muestra la segunda inmediata

    Uso Android. Cuando añado un destino como parada; no muestra los kilometros de la segunda, solo de la mas inmediata. Ello ayudaría a evaluar cuanto se altero la distancia con añadir la parada.
