Add "avoid border crossings" setting, just like avoid toll roads or ferries.
Navigating from New York to Detroit, there's a route that crosses through Canada. I didn't bring my passport and wish to avoid this, but if I manually force another route, I might miss out on traffic-responsive optimizations. It should be possible to avoid border crossings just like any other route preference.

It may be useful, specially when using rented cars that won't allow you to go abroad and, specially in places like the benelux where in little you may cross various borders.

Waze veut me faire passer par la suisse (où il est interdit d'ailleurs) ce que je ne peux pas faire avec mon véhicule et mes chats qui n'ont pas de passeport.

Il m'est parfois impossible de traverser la Suisse à cause du matériel que je transporte, il est vital que cette option soit fonctionnelle, merci

Je vis sur le bord de la frontière Canada-USA. Chaque fois que je veux prévoir un trajet à l’ouest, dont pour aller travailler, Waze me fait passer par les USA. Cet ajout est important.

This is most needed.

Add a feature to avoid routes through international borders. I can’t get a route from northern NY to the upper peninsula in Michigan without the Route directing me through Canada. With the border closure, I need a route strictly through the US.

Yesterday, when driving from Croatia into Slovenia Waze rerouted us to a local “EU only” border crossing where our Canadian passports could not be used to enter the EU. Instead of saving us time, the re-route cost us an 2 extra hours. All this information is available on the internet (as we searched to find an international border crossing). It would be nice to have it in Waze and alert the user so they could accept / reject the amendment to the route.

Yeah I am planning a move from Portland, OR to Burlington, VT and Waze wants to force me through Canada, which would be fine, but my friend that is moving with us does not have a passport. Almost every trip planner has me go through Canada for some reason and being able to turn it off would be a lifesaver.

In Europe it is the same. Current restrictions are in place due to Covid. Borders are closed. I live really close to France and using waze gets tricky.

Since Covid19, borders that usually don't bother anybody are not allowed anymore. Covid19 is in our lives for more than a year, but still, I can't avoid border crossing. That's awful!

Waze must add this option to avoid boarders crossing.

I completely agree. Waze almost forced me into Canada without a passport

At Canada/USA border crossings it would be helpful if you could tell Waze if you have Nexus. Not all border crossings offer Nexus lanes.

Was traveling to Detroit from NY. Got there okay. From DETROIT to NY, waze directed us and many others through CANADA. without passports you can't go through. No one wanted to go through CANADA. Wasted 2 extra hours in a 10 hour ride became a 12 HOUR RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let user decide to avoid selected Countries when route is over cross countries. For example to calculate route between Bulgaria-Greece and for personal reasons I don't want to go trough Macedonia (it is not allowed, I don't have the permit, It is not safe, or whatever reason)
