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…

RV/Truck routing
Any possibility in the future to be able to choose RV or Tractor Trailer as your vehicle then trigger truck routes that would send you around low clearances or sharp turns, step grades etc.?

use HN waze interpolation instead of google
We have several huge streets that make it difficult to place the house numbers, so I prefer to use interpolation by placing the house numbers in some meter intervals, but this change is usually not reflected because Waze prioritizes Google's interpolation over Waze's own data.
My suggestion is: Use Waze's interpolation when: The number is not mapped (there is no linked residential location and no house number) and there is a number greater than and less than the number searched for entered by an editor (not the automatic imported one)
Example:
Editor Editor
15 75I'm looking for the number…

smarter routes with road closures
Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:
We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).
Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to…

Create Waze Vehicle Profiles
It would be nice to have Vehicle profiles, and change them rapidly on the Main Menu.
For example:
I use a Private Diesel Car most of the times.
I also ride a Gasoline Motorcycle (witch can ride the BUS lane in Oporto - Portugal)
I can also use an TAXI Electrical Car.In this case I should be able to create 3 Vehicle profiles on the Settings, and on the main menu, choose witch one we want to use at the moment, so that routes can be calculated accordingly. Otherwise, I must go to Definitions and Change the Type of…

School Zone Warning during Routing Options
While looking at your different routing options, what if there's an indicator that shows you're being routed through an active school zone?

Prefer fuel efficient routes settings
Similar to the setting on Google maps. Add prefer fuel efficient routes so that if a route is only a short amount of time slower but shorter / more efficient (less fuel use) that route is taken. For example a route that is 5 mins slower but 30 miles shorter would be preferable.

hide street name
Good morning,
Would it be possible to create an option to hide the street name? At certain intersections, the purple sign hides the white arrow. Additionally, with Android Auto, the street name is already indicated. Sincerely. RR6 votes -
Close the Segment user is currently on
In Rural areas the users may encounter a situation where the road may be closed due to a problem like a downed tree or other issues. In order for Waze to re-route it needs to know that the road is closed and there is no way to report a closure of the current segment that they are on. App only allows reporting of the closure from the nearest intersection in the direction of travel, which will fail to re-route.

Report and show long term roadworks
Since I am driving thousands of kilometers a month I need a button to report long term roadworks especially for highways/autobahn. And with that it would be nice if the lenght of the roadwork is shown too - it could look the same like the time it takes to come through a traffic jam on the left side of the screen.
The first report marks the beginning of the roadwork, the second the end of it. In Germany there are signs where they write the estimated end date of the current roadwork. That could be reported too.
That would be…3 votes -

Speed Bumps
It’s a big ask and I’ve read online it’s coming soon.
But an option to turn on just as you would with the toll booths but for fixed speed bumps, so rather than a hazard that shows up when your almost at the speed bump. It’s instead a setting that when you turn on it will automatically make a route that has no speed bumps before you set off on your journey.
I have a lowered car and many people do so I think it’s very fitting that this should be the first app to have this function. Not only…

routes for caravans
Please create a category for those towing a caravan so that inappropriate routes are not offered.
I would rather travel further on a good road than be guided onto a narrow, winding, steep or unsafe surface when towing my caravan.
The risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle travelling at high speed on a windy dirt road is very high when visibility is limited and there is no room to manoeuvre6 votes -
História da rota
Quando adiciono uma rota ele fica registado do histórico. Quando fecho o waze e volto a abrir o waze e Quando navego sem rota, o waze vai ao histórico e adiciona no ecrã a rota do anterior. Então eu não quero essa opção

Routes options in case of road closure, detour, or anything else
Was going to my friends house early this morning and police had the main road closed. This had just happened and wasn't going to take long enough for a detour to be put in place and I was so close to my friends house Waze gave no additional routes as options. Luckily I new the area enough to know what to do but I know things like this happen everyday across the country. It would be nice to have a feature that lets you choose a road or distance to avoid for these situations. Typically Waze gives you multiple options…

RV routes
I use Waze vigorously, however, in the summer of vacation time we adventure out in our RV. It would be helpful to have routes provided by selecting the vehicle type as an RV, and using roads specifically safe for an RV/18 wheeler truck.
These vehicles are not designed for small narrow roads, and would need to have the safest route provided possible.
Is it possible that we can have better options for the vehicle type, and this way Waze can make a suggested route specifically for said vehicle type? I honestly believe this would increase the amount of users for…

User-intuitive multi-stop route for a leave later time
I find it very difficult to set multi-stops on way to one destination, because I have to look up how to do it online everytime. It is not intuitive, is not marked, and you just have to know the "secret" of tapping on the arrival time to THEN add another stop. That makes no sense. And then, if I need to arrive at the final destination at a certain time, I can't set it up with the multi-stop to know when to leave to make those stops and arrive at the destination on time.

Simpler versus faster route
I would prefer a simpler route versus a faster route, with a lot of turns or merges.
I'd like a setting to take the simpler route, if it is only a few minutes longer.2 votes -
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.2 votes
