Hell I live in Indonesia,
since there is a lot of small routes which literally only 1 car can fit,
Please kindly add a new feature which allows you to avoid small road / route / passingway. Which I believe will help for all Indonesian fellows

Thank You

Waze gets you where you need to be, but you may not want to drive on all roads Waze takes you. One of the gripes I have with Waze, but also with all other GPS systems I know, is that they sometimes take you through very smal roads to get to a place while there is a very good alternative route which may be only slightly longer.

What I had in mind is a driver profile in the waze client that let's Waze know you want the nice roads for your car, or whether it can drive "anywhere".

In the editor a new attribute would have to be added that allows for this distinction. If want to go to place A, and my profile is "nice car" waze would need to select the route going the most over "nice roads".

More worked out information e.g. in the waze feature request forum: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=657&t=113062

It would also be extensible to trucks, cars with RVs, ...

Yes! Please!

I think there should be a option on avoiding alleys please update it as soon as possible

everybody is having the same problem

fix it please

Agree!!

Same problem here.

The problem with addresses being set back in the alleys would be solved if you had an option to avoid alleys.

Shoild be able to block alley routing

Waze often makes impractical routes that take you on the freeway for one or two miles, sometimes less, because it shaves off the ETA by one or two minutes. Waze also has a tendency to make you do zig zags which adds a lot of unnecessary unprotected left turns. Waze would be a lot more useful if it did a better job of utilizing main roads and making more straightforward routes.

In addition, there should be a way to choose to take local roads over freeways, depending on how bad traffic is. Sometimes it feels better to be slowed by lights than being stop and go on the freeway, even if it takes the same amount of time. When choosing routes, there should be a feature that allows you to pick local roads or different freeway routes.

stop using alleys as end points for directions in Chicago

Ability to block routing through alleys

I am tired of finding myself being told that destination is basically the only way to get to it is by stopping in the alley. Well I want to be able to get to their destination in the front of the house of course and of course I want to be able to do so with the option of being able to decide whether if it's a Tulane or two-way street which way I want to vehicle to face on that street as opposed to just pulling down the street

The problem isn't when there's heavy traffic -- in those cases, usually the complicated routes actually serve to get you around traffic quite handily. The problem is the complicated route is still suggested even when there is NO traffic.

I actually noticed that too... When there's a heavy traffic, it route me though streets that requires lots of turns.

I feel this is just a minor problem though...

Based on my observation, Waze tends to throw up extremely complicated navigation at times. When following its advice in times of heavy traffic, the route is very fast and useful. However, even at times when roads are abandoned and taking major thoroughfares would be simpler and yield similar time/distance results, the convoluted path is still the one suggested.

I would hope the algorithm would weight every turn as a negative so that a turn would only be added in those cases that it provides an obvious time/distance gain at the time of navigation.
