Waze is routing traffic down a small side street in our city that is without sidewalks or a shoulder. We have many children traveling on this street on their way to school and the skate park. Since the waze users are trying to find the fastest route, they are often speeding, making it even more dangerous. Research your routes better and STOP making our streets dangerous for our children and citizens!!!

O app poderia sugerir melhor rota sem utilizar-se da mais rápida ou mais curta. Criar uma trafegando apenas pelas vias mais fáceis, rodovias, avenidas e ruas principais; sem desvios por ruas laterais, pequenas e em bairros perigosos. Não vejo sentido em ganhar 1 ou 2 minutos, usando rotas alternativas! E nos casos de deslocamento noturno, por vias perigosas (risco de morte). Deixem o app mais inteligente!!! #UX

Rerouting freewatvtraffic through residential neighborhoods is dangerous. Residential roads are not equipped to handle the traffic flow and this creates a dangerous situation in some neighborhoods. An example is rerouting traffic from 80 to Mace Blvd in Davis. This is a road school children must cross. The road is under construction and Waze traffic is dangerous and unnecessary. I’m happy to file a class action lawsuit for those interested.

Please add an option to remain on major interstates & highways, if time savings is less than a specified amount. My wife would rather stay on the interstate or highway if it's only 10-15 minutes time savings by wandering down side streets. If there was an option to select only change routing off major routes if side streets save 10 minutes or greater, that would be fantastic! Wandering off side streets with stoplights, pot holes, etc isn't worth the time savings for less than that.

Stop redirecting traffic through neighborhoods. Waze sends hundreds of cars through our residential street a day. Drivers who fly through going above the speed limit and cause endless traffic on a street where they are children and pets. Waze does this because there are no speed bumps as it’s an EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS route. My suggestion is to stop redirecting your users through residential streets.

Stop routing traffic down quiet neighborhood streets - or failing that - post the g*d* speed limits

I'm going to respond with this: IT IS NOT WAZE'S PROBLEM IF YOU DON'T LIKE TRAFFIC ON YOUR STREET. Waze is an app built for, administered by, and paid with the eyeballs of commuters. It is designed for one thing: to get from point A to point B in the quickest way possible. If that happens to go through your neighborhood, then in the short term, tough cookies. If you are not happy with this situation, for reasons of safety or noise or whatever, then it is up to YOU to ask your local municipality to implement traffic calming measures such as speed bumps or legal restrictions. Waze will detect the slowdown in traffic speeds this will cause, and then will no longer be inclined to route people through your area. You can also ask your state legislators to do things to reduce the burden of traffic on the major roads, by either expanding them or increasing subsidies for public transportation.

People have always found ways to cut around traffic, but historically this has required local knowledge of the roads which was only available to a select number of people. Now the world has changed and information has become liberated, suddenly people start to blame Waze for directing the unwashed hordes of working people through their idyllic little suburbs. Instead of addressing the problems in this country caused by our relentless suburbanization and our utter neglect of transit and infrastructure, you want to foist the burden on those who have been forced out to the hinterlands by a pathological housing market and a dysfunctional political system.

Yet again, I am stunned by the words and actions of my fellow citizens.

Use the Avoid Difficult Intersections option in the Navigation section of the menus in the Waze app.

Waze will think its helping you avoid high traffic by sending you on short cuts through residential streets. Then it will lead you to having to make a left turn without a light on a major high traffic street. Super scary. Please offer an option for thise not in a huge hurry.

When rerouting to the streets, to have the option to get back on the high asap Vs navigation on the streets for long stretches.

To have user set preferences for “re-routing”. Personally, I’d favour re-routing only if it’d save 5 minutes or 10% of the remainder of the journey (whichever the greater). Fed up with being sent down narrow country lanes, poor condition side streets and through residential estates just to save a minute or so

Please stop suggesting Embry Circle as an alternate route in Chamblee, GA 30341. Homeowners are unable to get in or out of their driveways for several hours during the afternoon rush. Cars and large trucks are using this route and our once quiet residential street has become a nightmare, with cars backed up for a half mile. Not only are homeowners held hostage during rush hour, but Waze followers on this street are frustrated and angry at the backup, often blaring their radios, honking their horns and littering as they sit in the backup. PLEASE remove this as a Waze route.

Please remove Alton rd, embry circle, and embry hills drive from your cut through roads. This creates considerable traffic in our neighborhood with little to no regard for the speed limit. As a mother with young children I am concerned for our safety with the amount of driving zooming through this residential area with little regard for their surroundings.

I was hit by a driver cutting through our neighborhood. He took off and I couldn't get his tag. I was not hurt but imagine if a child was hit. These people are not respecting that these are neighborhood roads where people walk, bike and are trying to get to their homes.

Plus, we now have semi-trucks using our neighborhood to avoid the highway. It’s dangerous and it’s ruining our roads.

Please!! It is insane in our neighborhood. It takes half an hour to get out. What you’re doing to our neighborhood isn’t right.

I can't get to my own house or to my mailbox without considerable risk due to Waze cut through traffic on Embry Circle. It is unbelievable that I can't get to my own home in my own neighborhood. We can't walk in our neighborhood, can't get into or out of it without sitting in stalled traffic. Please remove Embry Circle as a cut through.

I’ll add my voice. As the parent of an elementary aged child, the cut-through traffic is very dangerous. Please remove these routes as rush hour alternatives.

Please remove these streets from your waze directions. Cars are backing up and then can't turn left out of the neighborhood. We have young children and walkers at risk as drivers fly down the road with their phones in their hands. And when you get to the exit of our neighborhood, your app has actually made it harder for them to turn left (blind curve) and those turning right end up waiting in a line so long that they should have just stayed on the main road. Once the circle backs up, the waze drivers start cutting down Embry Hills Dr, flying to get to the other side of the circle which creates very dangerous conditions for our families. These roads are not meant for hundreds of cars to be using them at once, which is what is happening every afternoon now.

Specifically, stop rerouting 4 lanes of Torrey Pines Road commute traffic onto Hillside Drive, a quiet neighborhood road that is 18' wide with no shoulder, no sidewalk, and no lights.
