Stop routing traffic inappropriately
I am contacting everyone at Waze right now. Waze is causing problems.
Highway 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz is notorious for its beach traffic. Waze directing traffic thought downtown Los Gatos and on to mountain side roads to avoid this.
STOP DOING THIS!
First of all this is causing horrendous gridlock in downtown Los Gatos. The town has put up signs telling Beach Traffic to stick to Highway 17. Drivers are ignoring this because Waze gives tells them they can cut thru Los Gatos. This is causing MASSIVE problems.
Second, DON'T direct people off Hwy 17 on to the mountain roads! It is obvious these people DON'T know how to drive on them. They need to stay on 17 if they are not experienced on these winding two lane roads. They either drive too slow of constantly cross the center line. 17 is a MUCH safer option for them.
This is becoming a black eye for Waze. The mountain social media is full of complaints Waze need to do something to correct this immediately.

Los Gatos becomes a parking lot on the week ends with people who think it is a short cut to avoid traffic to Santa Cruz.

Your app is clogging city roads not intended for arterial traffic. I stopped using the app because I can't support tech with such negative externalities. I hope google figures out how to correct these problems. I know my town officials have been meeting to work this out...Los Gatos
