Leave the overview map on the screen until I change it.
In Google Maps, when I get to the Overview Screen, it stays on the screen and slowly zooms in until I get to my destination. In Waze, the Overview Screen only stays for a few seconds, then reverts to the basic navigation screen. Please make Waze more like Maps and let me keep the Overview Screen on the display until I change it!

Low clearance feature
There should be a feature that allows you to select routes for oversized trucks- tractor trailers keep getting stuck in the sumner tunnel or moving trucks on storrow drive all the time!! This is Boston MA but I’m sure other places could benefit too

Road Safety Level
Waze should add the option into the Map Editor to choose a safety level of a segment/road - in parts of the world, like in South America for example, in some streets you can come across gangs, shootings and other related life-threatening situations. Though, the feature can also he used for roads in dangerous or high terrain. And, the road safety level should then appear when choosing routes - when Waze calculates all possible routes - the safest one should say "Safest Route". Safety level should be determined by numbers (for example, 0 safest, 10 most dangerous). This would drastically…

avoid streets with poor road surface (loopholes, etc.)
assign a score to each street (ask the drivers), calculate the average score for each route and include it in the choice. + an option to chose the best quality road.
but currently the choice of three routes does not work at all: just yesterday the service have permanently ignored my choice instead trying to drive me over the route it considered shorter, despite my other choice. No option to complaine to this on the site.

Fastest route regardless of toll fees
Currently Fastest Route takes toll amount and distance into consideration. Many times, better routes with much higher tolls + a longer highway detour is in fact faster.
While there is an option to opt out of tolls, there is no way to have the "Fastest" route regardless.
Fastest should mean really the fastest and not "according to what Waze thinks people might want".

Traffic Jam Standstill Should be much slower
Waze needs to read the speed of Wazers in a Standstill Traffic Jam better. In the last couple of months, I have not been re-routed around terrible standstill traffic jams because Waze thinks the "Standstill" is moving at 15 mph when, in reality, you're literally idling and moving a few feet every couple of minutes. I see where the app tracks Wazers, so why can't it use their average speed, which was closer to 3 mph? In the last few months, I have been caught in very long traffic jams because Waze thinks the route your on is faster than…

Create Waze Vehicle Profiles
It would be nice to have Vehicle profiles, and change them rapidly on the Main Menu.
For example:
I use a Private Diesel Car most of the times.
I also ride a Gasoline Motorcycle (witch can ride the BUS lane in Oporto - Portugal)
I can also use an TAXI Electrical Car.In this case I should be able to create 3 Vehicle profiles on the Settings, and on the main menu, choose witch one we want to use at the moment, so that routes can be calculated accordingly. Otherwise, I must go to Definitions and Change the Type of…

Possibility to tick an avoid country lanes box
Overview routes are only general. A button to tick "Avoid country lanes/no name lanes) would be so useful to not go in circles, trying to find a better route towards a location. It's not always possible to avoid country lanes, but most of the times/most of the route can be at least on B roads.

Save the route for the way back from a location and also to use it other time
Possibility to save the route for the way back home from a location or to use it again other time. Many times waze guides you back on a longer/country lanes route.

Give Option to Confirm Address when starting Route
I want to confirm the address Waze is taken me to before the route starts. If I say take me to X, it automatically starts the route without letting me confirm or see the address it is taking me to.

Capitalize on the Great American solar eclipse 2024
I'm not sure if you all are already thinking about this, but I think it would be really smart to capitalize on the upcoming Great American solar eclipse on April 8th. I've noticed that Waze is good about navigating large crowds of vehicles through the available road systems when a lot of people are running the app, so I think it would be great to market and advertise to folks that they should be using the app in order to alleviate the traffic and smooth everything out. I know I will be running the app, especially on my way home!

Provide an alternative route when accident in front of me
I need the app to provide enough in advance an exit off highway with an alternative toure. It happens to me all the time that Waze gets me stuck in the constipation. ******* banana. It used to work this way. Not anymore. I am crazy.

Add "HIGHWAY FIRST" to route preference
When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.
I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even if…

Improved Automatic Re-Routing for Traffic Congestion in Waze
We would like to propose an enhancement to Waze's automatic re-routing feature to provide users with greater control and flexibility when navigating around traffic congestion.
Currently, Waze offers basic re-routing, but it lacks the ability to:
Prioritize surface streets or alternate highways/freeways: This would be particularly valuable for users who prefer avoiding congested highways altogether, even if it means a slightly longer route.
Define granular re-routing preferences: A binary on/off toggle is limiting. We propose options similar to existing route preferences (fastest/shortest) that allow users to:
Set time windows for re-routing: For example, automatically re-route during known rush hour periods.
