Conditional use of toll roads if saves more than set percentage of time
I live in Northern Virginia (US) where we have a growing network of high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes paralleling existing roads. These come up as separate roads in Waze as they have their own on ramps and off ramps. Just to make them more fun, they have variable tolling so when traffic is more congested on the "free" lanes the toll lanes cost goes higher. The speed limit is also higher on the toll lanes so they always come out as preferred over the regular lanes for navigation.
The current Waze app allows selection to avoid or not avoid toll…

Aviso sonoro limite de velocidade
Com a redução do limite de velocidade para 50 Kms, em diversas vias da cidade de São Paulo, sugiro que o WAZE adote um sinal sonoro, sempre que a velocidade do carro superar os 50Kms, independente da velocidade permitida na via trafegada.
Recebi diversas multas por excesso de velocidade, muitas por distração, e tenho utilizado outros aplicativos com esse recurso. Acredito que se o WAZE adicionar esse mecanismo, a fidelidade e frequência de uso será ampliada, pois eu, por exemplo, acionarei o aplicativo antes mesmo de entrar no meu veículo (sem mesmo ter a necessidade de ser orientado pelo trânsito).…151 votes -

Prevent Waze audio if a call is active
With the Text to Speech navigation active and a call comes in, the application will continue to speak over the caller on the speakerphone. Other audio applications like the audio MP3 player, will mute the music during the call and then resume after the call. Waze client should do the same.

Avoid express lanes
It would be nice to be able to turn off Express Lanes, with the same toggle switch as the "Avoid Toll Roads" option. I almost never have passengers in my car, and therefore cannot ever take the Express Lanes, but the app keeps directing me to them. Express Lanes also occasionally have different exiting options, so it can sometimes change your entire route and make you miss exits you needed to take.

Calculate total tolls for each route option
Some tolls are very high, others reasonable. Now I can only see if there are tolls or not, but not to decide on a reasonable toll road.
In NY, this can be as much as $13 (George Washington Bridge) and $1.50 (Henry Hudson), for example.

- Include “Avoid hazardous area” as route options.
We have seen many drivers get into slum areas that are really dangerous, with many episodes of people getting killed when entering on those areas in Rio de Janeiro, for example. I experienced this on other cities in Brazil and, sometimes, I really avoid using Waze because of this.

Time Based Restrictions, can we make this happen guys?
"No left turn between 7am and 10 am."
"Do not enter between 3pm and 6pm."There are thousands of these signs in hundreds of cities all over the US. Can't we allow for local map editors to save time based restrictions into the map?

Suggestion to add 'vehicle stopped in lane' in the 'hazard on road' option.
I often encounter vehicles stopped in the lane on the interstate as well as the surface streets. It would be helpful to have an option to report that hazard just as you can report a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. This would definitely help drivers so that they are aware and prepared for that hazard.

Ukrainian
Hello Waze,
First off, you guys do a wonderful job. I know that in my community of Ukrianians, there is a need for Ukrainian spoken directions.
If there is potential for it to happen, it'd be absolutely fantastic!
Appreciate your work.
Best regards,
Slavik

Make list of "suggested eta recipients" editable
Every time I go anywhere using Waze it "helpfully" pops up a picture of ONE person: my ex (and the option to add others). The only person I've ever sent an eta to is my ex, so I guess I'm just doomed to see their contact pic every time I drive?
Even though I've gotten rid of all my Waze friends (why would I need to know when my friend halfway across the country is driving? That's just annoying), and even though I've completely un-synced my contacts (stopped using "send eta" when the resulting info was fairly useless (ex has…

Make car icon customizable
Make the little car icon on the screen while I'm navigating customizable. I'd like to be able to make it look like my car...starting with my car's color. You could have a small number of car types (truck, van, sedan, sports car), or a more elaborate library of make/model/year (I vote for 2010 Chevy Camaro!)
134 votesGreat news! You have 10 different icons to choose from.

Google Play Music Media Controls
Add a mostly-transparent overlay option with controls of simply "Previous, Play/Pause, Next" - quite chunky without being intrusive, that works with a media player of your choice, not just Spotify. Thanks!
