Great news. Setting to avoid toll roads is already available globally. It is also possible to mark dangerous zones on map editor level, so the app could warn you if your route goes through one of dangerous zones.

    This would make my planned routes better as currently Waze often tells me to go down roads through dangerous areas where carjacking, stray bullets, and violent protest action such as burning vehicles are commonplace. Understandably these roads are emptier than alternative safer roads.

    I'm aware of a local road closure due to a construction issue. I've reported it many times in Waze and Google Maps yet Waze still routes me over this road to places. It would be nice to mark this road as "avoid".

    Twice I've been routed onto undivided mountain roads that were very dangerous. Would like an option toi avoid undivided roads

    This would be a very useful feature. I would like, for example, to avoid a specific, very expensive, toll underpass on my route, but not to avoid all toll roads since they are the fastest route.

    There is a TERRIBLE road that I WILL NOT take because it's full of massive potholes. How can I block this road from being included in my Waze directions?

    There is a an alternate route to my work that comes up when I-95 is backed up that uses a road that's really not meant for average vehicles. It's more for construction vehicles going to and from a cement company. It's not maintained at all. It has major pot holes, ice in the winter, and is just plain creepy when you don't see anyone on it in a car, just big trucks. I don't ever want to use that road.

    There is a short cut on my commute which waze chooses if the traffic is bad, because it will save 4-5 mins. However it is very narrow, single lane in places, with massive pot holes, with a chance of a damaged tyre, dented alloy or a smashed wing mirror. I would like to avoid this road (advise other users of its condition) due to traffic, BUT use it if there is a road closure i.e. I have no choice. Thanks

    Another will know GPS navigation system allowed the user to select a particular road on the list of roads on route and select to avoid that particular part of the route.

    זה רעיון מאוד טוב... יש מקומות שאני לא רוצה לעבור בהם

  • Anthony commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I often want to avoid a certain road, or even when using Tollroads, avoid a specific toll road (but not all) on a trip.

    Please consider implementing an option to expand the list and select a certain road/turn in the list and choose "avoid" (or similar).
