Show alternate route traffic
Give the capability to tap the screen to see alternate route traffic. For instance, Original Route goes from Point A to B to C to D to E. Along the way, WAZE reroutes and goes from A to B to M to N to E.
It would be beneficial to the user to be able to tap the screen, and see both routes- the new one, and the original with red where the traffic is.9 votes -
Stay on Major Road Option, Longer Distance, Faster Time
Give a route option to stay on MAJOR roads, state roads and highways, and choice of a slightly longer distance, but shorter time driving. Waze always takes me off the interstate or major state road to save a few miles off of my route, but in doing so I go through every stop sign, speed table, neighborhood and school zone possible. Sure it saved me a couple of miles, but added loads of frustrating time to my drive, increased gas usage and increased wear and tear on my car.
Not only that, the start and stopping of these shorter routes,…

TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads
Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.
Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!
For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all…

Customize Your Route
There should be a way where you can customize your own route, especially if you want to take scenic routes that you might not know the directions, while having the same benefits that Waze offers (navigation, police, traffic, etc).
I was just on a drive that I took six different highways on my own before meeting up to the Waze route and I had to turn my Waze off because it kept re-routing me to the "fastest" route... If I was able to plan my route and customize it to the route I want to take, that would be awesome.…

Need an option in search to switch routes from current location and destination and vice versa.
I like to plan routes and take the same way to and back from a destination. I think it would be beneficial to be able to see a route and alerts from a destination to your current location. Example: A is my current location I’m going to B my destination. Switch A->B TO B->A. Just like google maps.

WAY OVERDUE - quick easy toggle between freeway routing and surface street routing. Too many steps to compare route quickness.
frequently in a busy freeway city culture being able to toggle quickly between quickest route freeway AND quickest route surface streets - takes too many steps to toggle. Needs to be on front page map. I’ve been a Waze member from the start and shocked that this has not happened where I can input a route for freeway driving and easily switch to surface streets where the route is OFTEN quicker but system keeps me in freeway gridlock when set for freeways. This is a big mistake to not have this as an easy toggle. Living in Los Angeles this…

Route choice
Hello, would it be possible to add choices of route type, for example shortest or fastest. Cause now it's not clear how he tries to lead us and lately it seems it's not logical at all. For example, I was driving through Autobahn in night, where I can drive on 140km/h but waze taught it would be a great idea to change this route to a small forest road that has a 30 km/h speed limit with bumps on road.

Routes via faster alternate paths
I've noticed lately that Waze has been suggesting routes very similar to the routes suggested by Google Maps: through avenues and main streets that are most often jammed. Some time ago, Waze suggested smarter routes, avoiding traffic jams and going deeper into neighborhoods. The route was longer, but much faster. Today, he insists on passing only the main streets and this considerably increases the travel time. When the path is known I always follow the routes suggested in the past by Waze and 100% of the time I save between 5 to 10 minutes, which is a lot of time…

level crossings
I was wondering whether you have looked into using real time train information to inform the Waze journey planner.
This would be most relevant where there are level crossings, and would allow to reroute drivers when the crossing is about to go down.
I believe that currently, Waze only reroute drivers once the crossing has already gone down causing congestion rather than pre-emptively.
I’d be really interested to hear your thoughts on the subject and the feasibility of this.

Fermeture récurrente de voirie
Une municipalité a décidé de fermer une partie de rue le matin de 8h15 à 8h35 pour sécuriser l’entrée d'une école élémentaire les lundi, mardi, jeudi et vendredi hors jours fériés et vacances scolaires.
Comment automatiser cette fermeture récurrente ?1 vote -

Mr
Sometimes a route changes mid-route. I would like to set a limit thus that the route only changed if the change resulted in a savings (of a length of time I can set). So "only change route if there is a savings of 5 minutes"0

Better customization options in the settings
I think you should be able to customize your own GPS to be able to avoid certain streets and also to always take Highway as first route priority
