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.
Great news! The option to disable HOV lanes is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Now the Waze preference provides for avoiding toll roads or not. I want a more discrete preference to avoid certain toll roads. Some toll roads in the Washington DC area are reasonably priced like the Dulles Toll Road. Others like the Express Lanes on i-495 are priced ridiculously high. So, I would like route planning and driving times to allow certain toll roads, but to exclude others.

This is so obvious. Please add this!

Include an option to, when tolls are not allowed, allow tolls if journey would be a user definable percentage quicker. (Eg "Allow tolls if journey is at least '10%' quicker")

The Waze Live Map has the capability to store information about Toll Roads like whether an interchange is Electronic Toll Only (No Cash), but the Phone Apps have no way to support this.
**An increasing number of toll road interchanges are being built in the United States that are Electronic Toll Only**, especially in the Mid-Atlantic with the EZ-Pass system. Waze Users should not have to avoid toll roads altogether just to avoid no-cash interchanges.

Make all available routes visable and seperate using headers. Instead of the clunky...Settings --> Navigation --> Avoid tolls/major Highways

Change the "Avoid toll roads" option in the settings to the default setting, then allow the user to choose whether or not to avoid toll roads for that specific trip when routing. As a general rule, I do not like to take toll roads, but there are times where I don't care, or would prefer them. Currently I have to change the setting before starting navigation, then change it back the next time I navigate.

No toll option
Better directions when arrive at destination on left or right. -

The avoid highway option is buried in the settings. Either make it easier to toggle or when you selecting alternate routes always have an option to compare taking the back roads vs the highway.

In addition to being able to turn on and off the use of toll roads to route, it would be nice to also have the option to use toll roads during certain times of the day - for example, use toll roads to route only during the morning hours and do not use toll roads to route in the afternoons.
