when looking for a gas station on Saturday, avoid gas stations that are not open in Shabbat
i was looking for nearest Gas station on Saturday near Ramat Gan, Israel, and Waze suggested me the nearest Gas station in Bnei Brak, when i arrived it was closed due to Shabbat. why Waze suggests me a closed Gas station?

I was using the Waze app as usual on a road trip. I used the "add a gas stop" for the first time, which I thought was fantastic as my car indicated I had 40 miles of gas left, it was 10:30pm on a Sunday night, and my young son was ill. We left the highway and went to the first one on the list at 15 miles away, and it had closed at 10pm. We tried the second one on the list, and it was also closed. I ended up using all the gas I had basically following Waze to an out of the way station assuming that the map would know the hours of these gas stations and this would be factored in to the "add a gas stop." I guess that was too much to assume. I ultimately had to have gas delivered by a tow company. It was a hard lesson to learn late at night with a sick kid.

Brazil is living a dificult moment with a massive truck drivers strike. Because of it, gas stations are not being refueled and a lot of places are already closed.
Considering this emergencial situation, waze could open an momentary featuring allowing to point which gas stations are already closed, making easier to drivers to find where still have fuel do sell.

This sounds more like a request for a "not open now" feature.
