When showing "Routes" options, show "average speed" per option.
When showing "Routes" options, in addition to "time" and "distance", show "average speed" per option. A user may want to choose an option whereby he/she is moving at a greater average speed, even if it means extending the duration of the trip, especially if the added duration is insignificant. For example, a user may prefer to travel 60 km in 1 hour than 40 km in 55 minutes because instead of siting in traffic the user is moving at a greater speed.

Waze is very dumb on selecting the best route because it only uses a deterministic fastest trip time criteria to select the best route. As Stanley said, sometimes someone is willing to take 2 - 5 minutes more time on a route, but with a much higher average speed. Therefore there should be two improvements: 1) include into settings the preferenbe between fastest route or higher average speed; 2) every time Waze calculates a route provide another with fastest speed but higher travel time, so we can choose what we prefer.

I want a new configuration option, in addition to faster routes: routes with the highest average speed.
