Show routes with and without tolls options
I don't know if it is a problem limited to my phone.
Some routes suggested when "Avoid tolls roads" is set to ON may not be among suggested routes when "Avoid Toll Roads" is set to OFF.
In a few words, please add a "Show All Routes" and indicate which ones are with or without tolls by adding a note or using a different color font, etc.,1 vote -
Smart Routing for Buses and Trucks - A Must-Have Feature for Waze
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a dedicated navigation mode for buses and trucks, with routing that takes large vehicle limitations into account.
Today, Waze is excellent for private cars, traffic updates, and real-time navigation, but it can be very problematic for buses and heavy vehicles, especially in Israel and particularly in the Tel Aviv area.
Many streets are extremely narrow, have sharp turns, low clearances, weight restrictions, or are simply not suitable for large vehicles. As someone who works in tourism and frequently travels with tourist buses, I have personally experienced situations where Waze directed our…

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.

Add maximum toll budget filter (Tambahkan filter maksimum biaya tol)
Hi, it would be very helpful if Waze could add a feature to set a maximum toll fee limit. Instead of just "avoid tolls" entirely, we could filter routes based on our e-toll budget (for example: only show routes with total toll fees under Rp50,000). Thank you!
[Halo, akan sangat membantu jika Waze bisa menambahkan fitur untuk mengatur batas biaya tol maksimal. Jadi, alih-alih hanya sekadar pilihan "avoid tolls" sepenuhnya, kita bisa menyaring rute berdasarkan anggaran saldo e-toll kita (sebagai contoh: hanya menampilkan rute dengan total biaya tol di bawah Rp50.000). Terima kasih!]

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.

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 -
Option to Select Expressway of Choice (Mix and Matching)
In Phillipines there are Expressways that are owned by different companies.
They are likely non competing so depending on your destination, you're either going to use either one of them or both.So It is natural to have them in Toll and HOV Passes (Autosweep RFID and Easytrip RFID), so the route functions correctly for your desired destination.
But there are certain conditions that they are now competing.
Specifically with NLEX Connector Road vs SKY WAY Stage 3Say you begin your travel at Santa Mesa Manila for example, if your destination for example is somewhere North like Pampanga or…

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…

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 -
Arrival Times
Waze does not seem to take traffic Jams into account when posting arrival times. Sitting in traffic it just adds minutes to your arrival rather than adding a jam to the arrival time.

Please find a way without adjusting my phone, android, to increase the font on the turn directions in the black box in the top left corner.
Make the street names that appear right below the car icon larger in addition to the turn-by-turn directions in the black box in the top left corner. Also if I'm going somewhere and I want to search for a new location it shouldn't come up with no results it should ask if I want to cancel the current route and

מניעת שכחת ילד ברכב
פיצ'ר "מצב ילד" - מניעה אקטיבית של שכחת ילדים (ללא מטרת רווח)
הצורך: התזכורת הנוכחית היא פסיבית וגורמת ל"עיוורון התראות".
הפתרון:
1. בתחילת נסיעה: הוספת מתג מהיר "יש ילד ברכב?" (יופיע חכם לפי שעות הגן/בית ספר).
2. בסיום נסיעה: האפליקציה תדרוש פעולה פיזית (אישור בסליידר) כדי לוודא שהרכב נסרק, ולא תסתפק בהודעה שנעלמת.
3. רשת ביטחון: התראה קולנית חריגה אם הנהג התרחק מהרכב מבלי שביצע את האישור.השורה התחתונה: הופכים את Waze מצופה מהצד לשותפה אקטיבית בהצלת חיים, באפס עלות חומרה למשתמש.

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…
