I would like the option to draw my own route. I often use Waze, not just to get places I've never been, but to time my arrival to places locally and be alerted to traffic incidents.

Overall I love Waze, but I can't use it much because it wants to "optimize" my route, which often takes me straight through dangerous construction areas (single lane concrete barrier interstate death chutes). We have a ton of construction in my area right now on almost every major road. I don't want to avoid all highways or interstates or even all of one interstate, but I'd like to choose to take a longer route around very specific sections that either often have very sudden large traffic jams, or that just make me anxious due to the poor quality of the traffic management.

To my knowledge, there are no navigation apps that allow a customer to make their own route from start to finish. I've actually considered going back to paper maps and a highlighter, but that won't give me a time estimate or traffic info. Please let us make a custom route and save it. It would be a game changer for me and others in our area.
