Still waiting

+1 I would like to avoid a very expensive highway and take another road entrance a few kilometers away.

This would be amazing. I am constantly routed over a crumbling bridge, into a hairpin turn, up an 8% grade, and then into a blind turn. I want to avoid it. ²

Need to wake up to this idea. In the last week we got forced off a major road due to a closure that Waze did not know about. Instead of routing us home it just kept looping us back to the closed road. Need a way to say "find a route that doesn't use the A1".
If this is not on your roadmap, what is your solution?

There is a route near me in SW Virginia that Waze tries to route me on almost every time I'm traveling to NY. The route goes up and down a mountain with numerous tight turns and steep inclines, with absolutely no lights. Add fog to the mix, and it is incredibly dangerous. I actually popped a tire on the route at night. I never want that route to be suggested to me again as an option; I would rather sit in traffic. When you're driving alone, you can't always check alternate routes, so I want it so that Waze automatically avoids a route that I identify as one I don't like. There should also be some sort of indication ahead of time that a route has lots of elevation changes, so a driver can choose to avoid it (if an alternate route does exist).

100% need this.

This morning I was routed through an extremely dangerous area and was extremely on edge. I was routed through certain areas of central Johannesburg, South Africa. For the local population this may be the norm, but as an elderly Caucasian or should it have a Caucasian female, this route is extremely dangerous. The chance of attack or hijacking is extremely high. Furthermore traffic rules are not adhered to, and driving itself is extremely hazardous and the chance of an accident is extremely high. Should the latter happen, the risk of violence, high jacking and robbery is greatly increased. There are no traffic lights at intersections as they have been cut down as perpetrators steal the copper cables. I am extremely nervous and concerned should my wife use Waze. Is there a way that I can program “no go” areas in the App?

It'd be awesome if it could avoid speed cameras, always having to check my speed, that I'm not going a mile over the limit, some streets that have changed from a 40 to 30, when it should be a 40, easy to forget it's now a 40mph road. So avoiding speed limit routes (only where possible) would be awesome.

Poder elegir al igual que evitar peajes, poder evitar otras vías como la M-30

Bonjour, j’aimerais pouvoir interdire à Waze de me faire passer par certaines intersections. Il y a des intersections dans ma ville par lequel je n’aime pas passer. Ca pourrait être intéressant de pouvoir en interdire en les sélectionnant.

In Europe certain roads are not allowed to certain type of cars. So this would totally be recommended
Some people use the “motorbike” function but this is not enough…

This is an awesome feature suggestion. There are certain roads around me that are experiencing high rates of crime that I would like to avoid and be routed a different way.

it keeps trying to force me onto Angeles Forest, that road is a two lane deathtrap through the mountains and when there is a rockslide or some other issue blocking the road no one on waze can report it as there is no cell coverage up there... sure its the fastest way to get from Palmdale to downtown LA but it is also unreasonably dangerous, and even when i use "other routes" it just finds other ways to route me onto Angeles forest... years back waze sent me up there and directly into a forest fire... this needs to be addressed.

really that doesn't fit on your roadmap but keep it in mind?
What kind of Avoiding tactic is that?
by the way i have avoid unpaved roads checked and seems it doesn't know that Waze doesn't know that the following streets are unpaved LOL

(1) NW 20th Terrace
Brooker, FL 32622

(2) Northwest 22nd Terrace, Brooker, FL

(3) Nw 208th ln Brooker,FL

Please Mark them streets as unpaved...

And one of them is about 1.5 miles long

(1) NW 20th Terrace
Brooker, FL 32622

(2) Northwest 22nd Terrace, Brooker, FL

That's a very disappointing response. This would be a much more useful enhancement than cartoon icons and **** like that.

Driving from Los Angeles to the Antelope Valley, Waze often routes you on Angeles Crest Highway through the mountains. This is very dangerous. 26 miles of windy mountain roads and aggressive drivers passing on curves. My wife gets sick driving on it. We want to block it permanently. Safer routes are usually only a few minutes slower, but often they are actually faster. Sometimes when I try to pick an alternate route Waze gives me 3 routes to get on Angeles Crest highway. ugh. Otherwise the app is fantastic.

More specifically avoid a section of a road from a given direction.or better set a penalty of x minutes if routing this way
Eg Waze very often tries to route me in the mornings on a narrow 2 way street with lots of illegally parked cars blocking a complete lane and high volume contraflow traffic. Trying to get passed this section is appx. 6 extra minutes compared to the calculation of Waze. Everyone who is aware of the situation avoids this street from one direction.

For goodness sake Waze, that's a terrible response... Make it part of your "roadmap". This is something that affects millions upon millions of your users every day and it's annoying as ****. Some roads need avoiding.
