"Avoid" option for single track roads with passing places
When travelling in Devon, Cornwall or anywhere where there is a lot of unspoiled countryside, I suggest Waze make available an option in the Navigation Settings to "AVOID" Single Track Roads With Passing Places.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Agree 100% with this proposal and all previous comments that have been posted below. Single track roads are dangerous, and I'll take a longer route with easier roads any time. But when you're not familiar with an area, it's often impossible to tell whether any of the routes that Waze offers you are single track or main road. This is a big problem when we're on holiday on rural areas like North Yorkshire. If you can ask to avoid motorways and toll roads then you should be able to ask to avoid single track roads. Disappointed to see that this isn't "on the roadmap" and hope that this can be reconsidered.

Can you add a filter to avoid single track roads

Everybody hates small roads from the bottom of their hearts. We've seen similar ideas here many times. I hope we don't get that same standard reply of how it doesn't fit in their roadmap.
Small roads are dangerous when someone's coming from the other direction. Add the option to avoid them.

This is essential for where I live and I'm so fed up of Waze directing me down these roads which probably make my journey 3 minutes faster. Particularly not fun as there are so many more potholes and due to tractors/large vehicles using these roads, their wheels dig up the verge to the side of the road's tarmac leaving huge holes which if you go into will probably break your axel. (You can tell I've just had a bad journey!)

So many single track roads near me and the area is full of farms so always meet tractors on single track roads and there are few passing places

I keep getting sent on single track, and narrow country lanes where if I meet another car or lorry comíng the other way I have to back up or scratch my car on the bushes at the side of the road. Many of these roads also have potholes.

Single track roads are common in some parts of UK and if you meet someone coming the other way you may have reverse hundreds of feet uphill with high hedges on either side which is quite stressful and happened to me yesterday using Waze. An alternative route using wider roads was possible and although would have taken a few minutes longer would have been infinitely preferable.

I find this imperative. Many people don’t know how to drive on single track roads, so making them dangerous. Please let’s have the option to avoid them unless it’s the only option. I do like Waze, but if it keeps sending me unnecessarily on single track roads, I will have to find an alternative app.
