Hi,

I confirm that I checked if this idea has already been posted, and did not find it: :whitecheckmark:

My suggestion is for the following feature:
The alternative routes button should provide an additional option to force a short detour for the next 1-2 km from my current position, bypassing a portion of the active route, regardless of whether the detour is optimal, slower, or less preferred.

My suggestion solves this problem:
Currently, alternative routes only offer optimal paths for reaching the destination. Sometimes, however, I need to skip only the next few kilometers of the route—especially if there is traffic, an accident, or a stopped vehicle that Waze is not aware of. In these situations, I need a quick way to temporarily deviate from the planned route, even if the detour is not optimal for the entire journey.

In more words:
Many times I’ve experienced situations where, due to local hazards or traffic not recognized by Waze, I want to simply skip the immediate next part of my route (1-2 km ahead) before returning to the suggested path. Alternative routes offered by Waze do not help here, as they usually provide only entirely different overall routes and do not allow for these short, forced detours. A button that forces a brief local detour, even if suboptimal, would greatly improve safety and flexibility.

Thanks!
