Display alternative ETA's at junctions
When I'm driving towards an intersection junction along my route with several route alternatives, I would like a feature that displays hor much longer those alternative route choices are.
Why?
1) My commute has several alternative route choices that differ in meters and seconds.
2) The first Waze default route choice is not always best.
3) Sometimes I can plan my route better than Waze, and don't always choose the Waze route.
4) Sometimes I prefer some variety in my daily commute.
5) Sometimes I want to choose a different route just so I can see something different.

Please consider to add the following option to Waze application,
I think that it could really assist to Waze users to have a Routh speed indicator when ever you choose one of the alternate courses you are able to realize the rate to driving speed (by color / number in ball)20 km vs 10 min = 2 or/and white ball (means that the Routh is fast)
15 Km vs 15 min = 1 or/and Green ball
15 Km vs 20 min = 0.75 or/and orange ball (means that the Routh is slow)
10 Km vs 20 min = 0.5 or/and dark orange ball (means that the Routh is slower)
Thank you -

This is relevant for long/tricky routs in traffic with many alternatives.
When I press "routs" near a junction, I am usually presented 3 best routs. But it does not really matter to me at this moment which street to choose in 40 minutes from now; the relevant choice at this point is whether to turn right or keep straight.
Therefore, please give me the best routes for the major different options for the current point. I want to know whether to stay on the highway or to enter the city, even if the 3 best routs all go through downtown. Often, if I see that on highway I will only lose 5 minutes, I prefer to use this less stressful route.
Also, related is the situation when the routes cross somewhere in the middle; i.e. I am going from A to B and all three suggested routes go through the same point C, but they continue differently from there, too. Such alternatives are irrelevant: let the routing refine the decision when I come closer to point C, with updated traffic information.
