Option to Ignore Automatic Traffic Rerouting for Motorbikes
Let motorbike riders stay on the original route even if Waze suggests a reroute. Constant rerouting can be distracting or unsafe when riding.3 votes -
Limite de valor de portagens
Olá,
Venho sugerir ter uma opção do valor máximo de portagens a pagar numa viagem.
Atualmente apenas posso optar por viagem com ou sem portagens.
O que estou a sugerir é num trajecto com portagens de 50 euros (por exemplo) ter opção de portagens mas até 15 euros (exemplo). O Waze criaria o melhor trajeto com portagens mas o custo total não iria além do valor pré definido 15 euros (exemplo).
Obrigado por esta maravilha (Waze)1 vote -
Add road closures when not on a route
Android and Car Play do not let you mark road closures while driving. In large cities, WAZE is often inaccurate because of the number of event road closures that go unreported. Please add a feature to add road closures for non-drivers and off-route drivers in large cities.

Stop giving me only OK to select new route, need a NO option
Stop giving me only OK to select new route, Give me a NO option to leave route as is.
Sometimes the original route is the better route or I have a route I want to use and do not want to change it.
Waze gives only one option and that is to say OK. We need a NO button as well to use.1 vote -

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…

similar eta
Similar ETA can't be previewed before deciding which route actually is faster or works for me. I would like to be able to see if I want to take the similar eta suggested i.e if it's less/more km, traffic, etc. (like google maps)

Distracted driver risk score route recommendation. Waze always picks the shortest route based on time
I routinely will disregard the Waze route recommendation and will take less traveled roads because I hate to have to rely on other drivers being always aware of their surroundings. I want Waze to recommend the less stressful route as an option. I trust my driving but I stress out with other drivers and will take side streets and leave the highway just to have a "safer" drive. I try to avoid backups on freeways as this contributes to the potential accident due to distracted drivers.

To avoid road construction
You should add so that you can do the same to avoid road construction as with avoiding toll roads! That is, choose another alternative route if road construction is on the proposed route. A completely different thing is that you should add a warning for all "fixed" road bumps so you don't get hit by a car!

Construction Closure: Intersections
I was thinking about how we can close roads on WME. It would be nice to be able to close multiple roads or just an intersection by drawing something like a junction box and then being able to set parameters. Sometimes Just an intersection will be closed for construction but you can still drive up to the construction to get to your destination. If it could just close within the box-

Big rig route options
I work for our local FD. Over many years there have been numerous big rig accidents on heidi circle in scott Louisiana. They are taken that route via GPS to a particular location and the turn down there is impossible for big rigs and they always slide into the ditches and flip. A route option for big rigs would be great so it prevents further numerous issues. There were 2 incidents there yesterday alone! Some of these can potentially carry hazardous materials making the situation even more dangerous!

SafeRoute – A safer pedestrian routing mode based on community input
As everyday users, we develop a deep, almost instinctive understanding of our cities. We know which streets feel safe, which corners we prefer to avoid, and which areas become uncomfortable after a certain hour. Waze already offers an excellent model of community-driven navigation by allowing users to report accidents, hazards, and police presence. Extending this collaborative approach to pedestrian mobility could significantly improve people’s sense of safety during their daily walks.
SafeRoute is a proposal for a new pedestrian option that would suggest routes which are better lit, more populated, or generally perceived as safer, while avoiding places that the…

Travel planning
I would like to plan a route with an overnight stop, or at least figure out the halfway point on a route. Find distance between cities. Also, option to find gas, food, and rest stops along the way.

Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like those for…

Routes via specific road
Plan or change a route to use a specific road ie. a specific interstate road, state road, local road, so the route will go specifically how you want to drive it. Many times the suggested routes are not the best. One knows this after having driven a certain route multiple times. Waze does not know this.

Alternate Routes
The last update to Waze made it more difficult and unsafe while driving. Prior to the update, I could click one button for alternate routes and it would bring up three on the screen. Now it brings up one and now I have to take my eyes off the road to slide the other options up. This was a bad idea of an update. Waze is the only map app that provides quick alternate routes while driving and now it is become risky to use.

Adjust routes
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitations:
- Add the ability to manually edit a route with multiple intermediate stops
Waze usually finds good routes, but sometimes I want to manually adjust it — set 2–3 waypoints, fix the path myself, and avoid places I don’t want to pass. Right now, it’s not possible to fully customize a route this way.
- Allow starting a route from a different location (not current GPS location)
In Ukraine, GPS can be unreliable or blocked in certain areas. Sometimes…

Customise routes according to specific vehicles
Vehicles such as the Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks cannot drive on all city roads because of their low power and the speed limits imposed (45 km/h).
In Rome, for example, you can't drive on a very important road called the 'Tangenziale', or the motorway. This means that using Waze is not an option, as it often sends you to these roads, which are off-limits to small cars.
It would be better if these small vehicles could have other routes so they don't risk getting fined or worse.8 votes
