Force Reroute Button
Many times i can see that the freeway/higway I´m about to enter is slow moving, and waze wants to route me into that sometimes even if there is reported trafficjams/heavy traffic etc on that road. A button on screen or easy accesssible (poosibly instead of the bulldozer) to force an alternative route would really help

Available on version 2.2 and on. To reroute, click on the green bar (after starting the route).
One of the options is to recalculate the route, i.e. force a reroute.

There ISN'T any "force reroute" option as you claim. Why don't we have one? I know the roads in my area, and Waze always wants to send me on a route which I know will take 15 or more minutes than Waze claims. I detour 10 miles extra and still get there faster, yet Waze keeps shrieking at me to U-turn and go back to the crappy/slow/blocked route. LET ME FORCE REROUTE.

This option doesn't seem availlable on Android Release 4.17.0.0 or it's really well hiden.

Waze should also be able (better than others) to calculate in real time, the most time efficient route. TomTom and Garmin also have these options in their live services.

maybe even a feature like igo has - dont use next x km of the route.
