I’m a dedicated Waze user and truly appreciate how the app helps me avoid traffic, accidents, and delays. However, I’ve noticed that it sometimes routes me through areas that are unsafe — which is especially concerning when I’m driving alone as a woman. In truth, safety on the road is a priority for everyone. Waze could be even more powerful if it included a feature that allowed users to flag potentially unsafe areas and create “avoid zones” for routing. This would not only protect drivers but also build greater trust and loyalty among users.
