Take into account holiday traffic
During holidays traffic over here, and i guess in most of the world, is quite different. I do a 100 km round trip every day and I appreciate that waze not only takes into account the current conditions but also takes into account what traffic is going to be like when I eventually get there. But during holidays I have to ignore waze completely or I'll arrive half an hour later because waze is calculating a route taking into account what traffic will be like on a normal working day instead of vacation days. And since waze already takes into account historical date to predict traffic I imagine it would be possible to make it look at the appropriate historical date for that holiday period.

Sur l'autoroute A1, on gagne entre 2 et 3 fois le temps de trajet quand c'est les vacances.

I've noticed it before and today again. Waze suggested a detour to avoid traffic that it was expecting. And on any given day it would have been correct to do so. But now it's not only a school holiday but also lots of companies close for summer in the next 2 weeks know as the 'builders holiday' over here. So there's almost no traffic and by ignoring waze I saved half an hour and even during the drive it had to adjust the ETA several times. So if waze anticipates traffic anyway (good job by the way) it must be possible to look back at historical data for holiday periodes.

The new tool to schedule turn restriction based on time is great. However, I did not find a way to restrict turns on bank holidays. If not existing, would be great to implement this.
