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,…

Stop telling me where not to turn
In a recent update someone added the asinine feature that tells me where I should not turn as I cross every intersection, in 100 m don't turn just go straight you dumb idiot.. I don't get it my great aunt used to tell me the name of any every intersection I would cross when she tried to explain how to get somewhere instead of just telling me to drive straight up a particular road! It's asinine it's extraneous it's not helpful and it's annoying! There's no way to turn off this stupid feature and I'm stuck having ways tell me…

Please add South African English to the voices. I prefer to hear the terms robot instead of traffic lights and traffic circle instead of round about because it is just lekker.

Detour update
I use Waze everytime I travel. It's a great app and very user friendly. However when it sends you on a detour (ex: because of construction or an accident ahead), it should say why it's changed (why your taking a detour) your original path. I was traveling by myself over night and didn't take the detour, because I was uncomfortable and unfamiliar with the detour it suggested) to take and got stuck in a construction traffic jam.

Feature Improvement
I have used the Share Drive feature on Waze multiple times. It is a good feature. In my opinion the feature would be improved if it maintained a trip for at least 30 minutes after the traveler stopped. I believe that Waze currently drops the trip after the traveler stops their vehicle. The user has to reset the feature when they resume their trip.

More voice warning before freeway exits, regardless of speed
I noticed that the location of the voice instruction you hear before a freeway exit varies based on how fast you're going.
Around 100 km/h, you get the voice instruction 1.5 kilometres before your exit.
Around 80 km/h, you get the voice warning about 1 km before the exit.
Around 60 km/h, you get the warning just 300 metres before the exit.It's the last one that I think is a problem. Some drivers rely mostly on the voice instructions either because we don't have a phone stand or because of restrictive laws regarding phone use while driving. And if…

Show blocked and illegal lanes
London, Clapham Park Lane. Bus lane at a junction. There is a left turn lane for buses only. But Waze shows to turn left and does not show the forbidden lane on the map. I had a fine for being in that lane. Please edit the map to show that lane. Possible even a verbal warning to the unwary

Can you do a better job on I 66 near Washington?
I have to say you’re coverage of I 66 outside of Washington DC has become absolutely terrible. Today I got trapped in a traffic jam for over an hour. No warning, no attempt to route me around it… nothing. And this happens over and over again. At best you sometimes note there’s some construction but you don’t seem to understand that entire lanes get shut down. You guys are really letting me down on that area

Do not start navigation automatically. Somtimes you just want to check the route or estimated journey time in advance.

Improve prompts for U-turn
Currently when Waze gives a U-turn instruction the voice prompt is "Make a U-turn ON [name of street you are on]. The problem with this is everyone knows that a U-turn is "ON" the street you are on. However, the driver does not know WHERE to make the U-turn. Map editors routinely see Update Requests where the driver was given a U-turn instruction and thought the turn was at a different intersection than where Waze was instructing them to make the U-turn.
What would actually help the driver is if Waze informed the driver WHERE to make the U-turn. The…

correct directions on how to go to Domaine de La Garde in 01000 Bourg-en-Bresse
I am the owner of the Domaine de La Garde, which receives some 10'000 visitors a year. The directions currently given by Waze on how to go to La Garde are not correct and lead to many frustrations. The correct description is to go to the Avenue du Maréchal Juin, then the Rue du Parc des expositions and then the Chemin des Narcisses to the very end (number 27) to the entry gate of the Domaine. Thank you for correcting. Friedrich von Kirchbach, owner, Domaine de La Garde, tel:0778376956, mail: fvonkirchbach@gmail.com

Change of colors for better visibility
Freeway exits to the left appear yellow with white lettering. Due to the little contrast that yellow and white make, it is very difficult to see the sign when you are driving. I suggest that the color be a yellow background and black letters, which are precisely the colors that highway signs use and are very easy to see due to the colors.

Display petrol stations with distinctive colour on the map and make it visible as on option, like POI
It is good to see petrol stations all the time in current view. That feature is very useful in standard navigation built-in card software, that like POI feature. It is often when I pass
