Common Route Change Alert.
We all have a weekday routine driving to work in the morning and back home in the evening. Most times we do not turn on Waze since the rout does not change. When there are traffic problems in that common route, I'd like to receive an alert from Waze informing me to switch on and follow a faster route automatically.

I believe WAZE will direct you one way and my friend's phone a different way at the same time. Sometimes, it really amounts to a couple minutes of time saving, one vs. the other and insignificant. But, for the 2nd time in a month, YOUR INEPT APP COST ME A MINIMUM OF 90 MINUTES EACH TIME!! Last night, you directed me to the Turnpike vs. the Garden State Parkway (GSP much cheaper) so i thought it was another insignificant choice. BUT THERE WAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE GSP AND IT WAS A PARKING LOT. CAN YOU PLEASE FIND A WAY TO ALERT THE IMPORTANT STUFF WHICH ARE - REASONS FOR ANY DELAYS!!! You estimate time of arrival but it is such a bad guess and just keeps increasing as the "Parking Lot" traffic stagnates!!

Would be great to have a voiced alert for route change even if you have Alerts Only sound on. I typically don’t have direction sound turned on for my commute, just Alerts Only. I miss route changes too often.

.. or I have the app running and at that "decision point" I glance at the app and realize I am in the wrong lane for the that non-normal route. Granted, when starting the app does announce / display an overall route name: "Let's take I-95 ... " vs another alternate. But admittedly, I am not always fully awake and not expecting this change.
