Different Route Options (Realtime): Your map gives you the option to select different routes in the entry stage but it would be nice to see other route options and the added drive times while you are driving (a Google Drive feature). It is very helpful if you need to change a route on the fly due to traffic or an additional stop.

I only use Waze outside of Rush hour, as it does not pick up on traffic jams effectively enough. I believe that better integration with Google traffic data would be an improvement. I am fed up with being directed into heavy traffic that Waze misses.

Please! I wish this idea were more popular!

Traffic Circle vs Roundabout. Spell check changed vs to CSU

Either based on Region=United States or with a toggle option set Traffic Circle CSU Roundabout. Google Maps used Traffic Circle in the USA.

Sometimes traffic suddenly backs up and I decide to take the side streets. I wish there was an option to route side streets around the jam.

Make it so Waze reroutes you around traffic. It used to reroute you around traffic, but it does not anymore.

When routing and a major city is in the route, give the driver the option to avoid the city proper. This will help people who are not familiar with the names/numbers of roads that lead into a major city that Waze may take them on. This would also be great because a driver may want to keep some of the navigation rules but avoid city traffic at all costs. Example: Last night Waze brought me INTO DC rather than going around it on one of the major highways. That is NEVER a faster route especially for someone who doesn't know the city and doesn't want to drive there...ever....but gets stuck doing so at night in the rain (still rather upset at Waze for that). There are just some cities people would rather avoid at all costs than drive through.

RUE RAMELET MOUDY

NE PAS DÉVIER la circulation vers RUE RAMELET MOUNDY et ALLÉE DES VITARELLES à Toulouse 31100 circulation très Très encombrée à partir de 17h00 Gros gros bouchons

In my neighbourhood, there is a street where there is a traffic jam every day to get to the highway.There are 2 other routes that are just as short an nobody uses them. Is there a possibility to change the algoritm so that it recommends these other routes easier when there is a traffic jam?

I commute over an hour each way every weekday. There are MANY times when I hit a jam. If I just knew the area better, I could jump off the highway, weave my way through some neighborhoods and circumvent the backup. Enter the "Get Me Outta Here!" button. This button understands that I need an immediate detour and calculates some best routes, even through neighborhoods.

I would love for Waze to have a passive mode for familiar routes. I have to drive through downtown to get to/from work and 90% of the time the route is the same, but with a lot of interchanges. Waze is very chatty, it reads the whole sign. This can get really annoying in the middle of good song or TED talk. A mode that only gives you non-turn notifications AND route changes would be awesome. I've missed a route change more than once because my brain tends to tune out Waze on my commute.

Thanks!

Has anything been done on this one? If so, I need to know how to access this mode. Right now, I'm thinking about just not using Waze anymore.

This would be great! I'd rather pick a slow road that keeps moving over a fast road with a major bottle neck.

Often I'm in a traffic jam and Waze will recommend I come off at a junction and then immediately back on, using it to skip the traffic. Not being a terrible person, I ignore this instruction when I notice it happening as I'm aware that it will make the jam I'm in worse for everybody else and clog up connecting roads. Unfortunately I'm sometimes not staring at the map or it is a big junction and I don't notice that it's going to make me come back in so I would appreciate a toggle that stops Waze leaving and rejoining traffic before any new major junctions. There are probably some other antisocial driving habits that Waze could be preventing too but I can't think of them at the moment.

Agree. Fucking stop pointing to the worst traffic route.

I would like to propose a 'keep moving mode'.

Often I see Waze routing myself on a congested road, while there are plenty of little local roads that would get me around that. Obviously I only know these roads in my local are, but Waze should know about them. Even if it takes a little bit longer, it should re-route me through those settlement streets.

So the mode would:

* keep you moving, even if it would take longer or be farther
* utilize small local streets

This would be especially handy on motorcycles where sitting in traffic is extra annoying. (lane splitting is not legal here)

Hello justin

Stop having Waze read direct me to have me fucking traffic routes wasting the only fucking gas I have to get to and from work for the fucking week
