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.

Add Pause Button to Route Guidance
I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.
I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.
I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.
I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the continual…

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.

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.

Timeframe for the toll highway
it would be nice to add the ability to choose the time when the toll highway can be used to calculate the route. Sometimes there are promotions for the tool highway

The instructions to the entrance to Pano Lefkara is completely wrong and dangerous. It should me at the next turning to thecright outside Stella's cafe.
I live in this village and I see many z cars that turn before, into Stylianou Lena street which is dangerous and narrow.1 vote -
Journey time <> motorway preference setting rather than avoid/use toggle
When motorbiking it’s often frustrating to be stuck on a motorway when the non-motorway alternative (for a large portion of the route) is equal or similar time.
It would be great to have an option to better blend the route. I.e a preference to non-motorway unless it makes sense for part of the route to be completed on motorway to make progress rather than the strict on/off toggle.

Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

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…

Add favorites to a route
When I go on long trips, I enjoy stopping at rest areas, but I have no clue where they are or when they'll appear. I've ended up at a sketchy gas station, only to discover a rest area just 2 miles ahead. I also like pulling over at specific restaurant chains, but again, I don't know their locations. It would be awesome to add favorites to a route so the app tracks the distance to the nearest Chick-fil-A or Buc-ee's, then resets after you pass it to show the next one. This feature would be a game-changer.

Option to switch to a different route
If a road is closed or very congested it would be great to have a way to tell Waze to calculate an alternate route. This could also be useful if the driver wanted to avoid a part of the route for any reason. One way would be to have a "change route" button. Another would be to have a setting that specified after # number of commands are ignored a new route would be automatically calculated based on the direction you are currently going. We just had to put up with about a thousand "make a U turn" messages before…

dynamic rerouting
Please stop automatic (dynamic) re-routing. Waze no longer is asking for re-routing permission from the user during active navigation. Waze is now dynamically (automatically) re-routes user without askiing nor alerting the user. Please STOP automatic (dynamic) re-routing without asking user's permission. Please stop automatic dynamic re-routing without asking user.

Show toll and no-toll options on the routes list
I truly hope that you consider putting the feature back, as having to go to the settings to change the setting to "No Tolls" and check the routes and then uncheck it to see other options is, to put it mildly, RIDICULOUS. This was there before, but for some reason that escapes me, Waze removed it!
For example, this past weekend, I was driving from NJ to OH and had to change routes quickly. I put in the addresses, and it gave me a wild route that was about 50 miles longer and would take over an hour longer than…

Modo 2D sem placas de ruas
Eu uso o weze no modo 2D e as placas com os nomes das ruas ficam atrapalhando na hora de fazer as curvas pois ficam na frente da seta de indicação da via , seria melhor tirar essas placas e colocar os nomes das ruas dentro da via ficaria bem melhor ou tentar afastar as placas das curvas

Option to minimize use of L roads in Ireland
Add an exception to PREFER R, N, and M roads. These dang L roads barely have room for 1 car with tight hedges often encroaching within inches of one's rearview mirrors....the epitome of a nerve-wracking + dangerous experience as these are often windy with blind curves. They might "seem" more direct to a cartography algorithm, but IRL they are a total white-knuckle nightmare‼️
