When driving through Europe, Waze avoids highways even when the option "avoid toll roads" is turned off (it should use toll roads). Each country has a different vignette. Travelling a 5h car ride from Crostia to Austria can take you through Slovenia or Hungary. To use highways you need to add the Vignette for Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia. That takes time and is confusing and inconvenient.

Solution: when "Avoid toll roads" is disabled, take any road a typical car would drive, including all vignettes you buy in that country. Assume the driver will buy them. Give infos about tolls and vignettes in the route description.

Good afternoon, how are you?

First I would like to congratulate everyone for the excellent solution, what a fantastic technology built that allows the WAZE APP to bring countless benefits to all types of drivers.

But you know that the more technology to make life easier, the dumber the users become and because of this I realize that in the day to day traffic, many people without proper experience doing a lot of shaving and because of that, I would like to suggest some improvements to the solution/technology.

Problem: I currently live in a historic city where many of the streets are prohibited from the circulation of larger vehicles, cargo vehicles, buses, trucks and every day there are drivers circulating with these large vehicles on these streets and this often occurs because they are unaware of the place they are passing, not paying attention to the signs and doing what Waze suggests.

Solution: Put a way to categorize the type of vehicle supported by streets/avenues/etc and also for the app user to inform what type of vehicle he is currently driving. To further improve the solution, the app itself, crossing the information on how it has performed the curves (by coordinates) and other data such as speed, can identify that he is possibly riding a motorcycle and ask to confirm either a car, or a large vehicle and the from this identification of the type of vehicle to signal the correct paths.

I myself, in the old days, before waze and googlemaps existed, if I had to go to a place I didn't know, I would study the way, which streets were close, today technology makes it so easy that we study less and we get dumber and end up most drivers pay less attention to the signs and sometimes end up going to places they could not go with that particular vehicle.

Thank you and I hope I have been helpful with this small contribution.

Hugs and congratulations again to everyone who works on the construction/evolution of this technology.

Boa tarde, tudo bem?

Primeiro eu gostaria de parabenizar a todos pela excelente solução, que tecnologia fantatisca construída que permite o APP WAZE trazer inúmeros beneficios para todos os tipode de motoristas.

Porém vocês sabem que quanto mais tecnologia para facilitar a vida, mais burro os usuários se tornam e devido a isso eu percebo que no dia a dia do trânsito, muitas pessoas sem devidas experiências fazendo muitas barbeiradas e devido a isso, eu gostaria de sugerir algumas melhorias para a solução/tecnologia.

Problema: Atualmente moro em uma cidade histórica onde muitas das ruas é proibido a circulação de veículos maiores, veiculos de cargas, ônibus, carretas e todos os dias tem motoristas circulando com estes veículos grandes por essas ruas e isso ocorre muitas vezes por eles desconhecerem o lugar que estão passando, não prestarem atenção nas placas de sinalização e fazer o que o Waze sugero.

Solução: Coloque uma forma de categorizar o tipo de veículo suportado pelas ruas/avenidas/etc e também para o usuário do app informar qual tipo de veículo ele atualmente está dirigindo. Para ainda melhorar a solução, o própria app cruzando as informações de como ele tem realizados as curvas (por coordenadas) e outras dados como velocidade, pode identificar que possivelmente ele esta pilotando motocicleta e pedir para confirmar ou carro, ou um veículo grande e a partir dessa identificação do tipo do veiculo sinalizar os caminhos corretos.

Eu mesmo, antigamente, antes de waze e googlemaps existir, caso eu tinha que ir para algum lugar que eu não conhecia, eu estudava o caminho, quais ruas eram próximas, hoje a tecnologia facilita tanto que estudamos menos e ficamos mais burros e acaba que a maioria dos motorista observam menos a sinalização e acaba as vezes indo em locais que não poderia ir com aquele determinado veículo.

Obrigado e espero ter sido útil com essa pequena contribuição.

Abraço e parabéns novamente ai pra todos que trabalham na construção/evolução dessa tecnologia.

The "best" route is often a matter of personnal compromise.
It's often a mix of fastest, shortest, and more and more road cost / fuel economy.
I suggest we add a "Mixed" routing strategy, that could follow our preferences.

We could think of a system starting with 100 points that the user would share among the different "strategies" of routing.

For instance, one could set :
* Fastest : 50 points
* Shortest : 30 points
* Economy : 20 points.

That has the big advantage to allow other routing strategy for future.
* Less traffic lights : 5 points
* Less train crossing : 10 points
* Nice points of view : 5 points
* etc...

of course, total points would always have to be 100 points. As i said, routing is a matter of compromise. :)

I hope this can help waze users and developpers.

Best regards
