Add a feature/option to avoid railroad crossings
Today I got stuck waiting for a freight train twice. It would have saved me time to have an option on Waze to give me an alternate route and how many minutes the detour takes in order to avoid the railroad crossing. When I got stuck for the 2nd time I took a right turn to explore the area and found an underpass 2 blocks away, which saved me about 5 minutes. This gave me the idea.

Wish WAZE could figure in rail crossings or add an option to avoid them. Here in Los Angeles street traffic is horrible anyway but worse with the new Metro Rail system. A feature to avoid rail tracks when figuring out the fastest route would be a huge improvement for us!!

Background: I was driving from Belgrade to Bucharest. Waze made me cross via Bulgaria, meaning Serbia to Bulgaria (customs) and Bulgaria to Romania (customs). Crossing such borders takes a lot of time, and had i realized i was routing via Bulgaria, i'd probably have taken another route. Does Waze assume a set time wasted at border crossings? It should factor that in when routing via several countries.
