Stop routing traffic down quiet residential streets
Your app has a very narrow focus. It doesn't take the actual street or the people that live on it into consideration. I have lived on a very quiet residential street until your app has increased in popularity. Thanks to your app, our street is now like a mini-highway and two neighbor pets have recently been killed. Additionally, your ignorant app doesn't take into consideration that it is directing traffic to take a very dangerous left turn onto Briarcliff Road. The results have been numerous accidents. Please take Stephens Drive, 30329 off your cut throughs at once.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

out residential street is now full of traffic since mapping services have begun suggesting it as a route. Is there a way to asked to be removed? Our sleepy street has become a nightmare.

Sometimes Waze recommends very complex routes which only save 2-3 minutes vs a simple alternative. And if you miss a turn, you may not save any time at all. For example, I would prefer not to take a large number of side streets to avoid only a small amount of traffic on the main road. I would like to the option to request simpler routes, perhaps an algorithm that compares the number of steps required to save a given number of minutes. Thaks!

בירושלים שכונות רבות המהוות סיכון ליהודים אך לעומת זאת הוויז מגדיר אותן כשטח ידידותי ודואג להכניס את הנהג לתוך השכונה עמ לקצר את הדרך.
פעמים רבות נהגים המבקרים בעיר מוציאים עצמם בשכונות שאינן מקבלות יהודים בברכה.
כמו שיש את האופציה להמנע מכניסה לשטחי A כך גם צריך להיות בשכונות מסויימות בירושלים -

I think it should be an option you can turn on and off. To lump with this, Waze should allow you to turn off the penalties of going to smaller roads. It often pucks terrible routes because it has such a hard on for big roads.

I've used waze for travel one time, more than 200km. Waze led me to a primary streets to avoid a congestion on the freeway. So i think it's still consider rooad types other than freeways.

Waze starts to ignore road types the longer my commute is, according to my personal experience and the "quick help". So waze isn't being much better than a common gps app for any commute longer than 30km, and mine is longer than 30km.
From waze quick help:
Long Distances:
0-15 km - All road types are allows for routing.
15-20 km - All road types except Streets.
20-30 km - All road types except Streets and Primary streets.
30-200 km - Only Minor, Major, and Freeways.
more than 200 km - only Freeways.
