Alternate routes options
possibility for drivers to share different routes.
For example.
I work in a high traffic jam / high accident area.
When I bring Waze up.
It only gives me an option for 3 direct routes.
Despite their being back road options or other possibilities.
I would love if there was an option for the driver to submit alternatives.
Or :
choose from other alternatives.3 votes -
Feature Suggestion – “Follow a Friend” Mode
I’d love to suggest a new feature that could really help users who are traveling in separate cars to the same destination.
The idea is a “Follow a Friend” mode where one driver can request to follow another through the Waze app. Here’s how it could work:
• You enter your friend’s phone number or select them from your contacts.
• They receive a notification asking if they’d like to share their live location with you.
• If they accept, their vehicle would appear on your Waze map in real time, allowing you to follow them while still navigating your…3 votes -
Autobahn / Highway prefering
It should be possible to not only avoid highways, we should also be able to choose to prefer them please. Nearly every time my ETA is getting earlier on the highway.
Man sollte Autobahnen nicht nur vermeiden, sondern auch priorisieren können, da man dort sehr oft viel Fahrtzeit einsparen kann.

Waze Delivery
I run a weekly trash route. I add customers weekly. I currently use Waze but I can’t add unlimited stops on a route that optimizes stops for quickest completion of the route. I am forced to use g maps to plan my route.
Can you design a “Waze Delivery” or “Waze Pro” that offers unlimited stops for a delivery route that can also optimize the stops for quickest drive, shortest miles traveled, as well as easily add or delete a stop.
I’m very interested in these features in Waze and would definitely be willing to pay for these features.3 votes -
Variable Toll Rates
Set up one type of feed input so that toll roads can update the variable toll rates in real time.
Understand that worldwide there are many methods companies use for toll rates that change. But Wase should have at least one feed type that can update the variable toll feed so that users can see in real time if it is say $2.00 to use the road or $40.00.

Modificar y guardar rutas personalizadas
Sería bueno que los usuarios pudieran tener la posibilidad de editar y guardar sus propias rutas, no sólo tener las 2 o 3 opciones pre establecidas por defecto, ya que muchas veces dichas opciones presentan errores de ruta que envían por caminos rurales o de difícil acceso, problemas temporales como obras en la vía, congestión o vías cerradas, rutas aparentemente más rápidas pero con exceso de semáforos, o momentos en que uno conoce la ruta, la transita seguido, sabe cómo es la ruta, pero la app insiste en que se debe volver a la ruta pre establecida

Ignore Traffic Option for Real Time Road Closures
For Real Time Road Closures, please add the option to "Ignore segment traffic". Currently if there is any traffic detected on a Closed segment, the Closure will be put into Suspend mode. This can be problematic since some Waze users choose to ignore a closure, because they can't "see" any backed up traffic due to the closure, and will cause the closure to be paused until enough traffic has been stopped behind the closure and the segment detects no more movement. By then the closure should have been in place warning Waze users well ahead of time to find an…

User-intuitive multi-stop route for a leave later time
I find it very difficult to set multi-stops on way to one destination, because I have to look up how to do it online everytime. It is not intuitive, is not marked, and you just have to know the "secret" of tapping on the arrival time to THEN add another stop. That makes no sense. And then, if I need to arrive at the final destination at a certain time, I can't set it up with the multi-stop to know when to leave to make those stops and arrive at the destination on time.

Add restaurants or POI that you're interested in
I would really like to be able to flag points of Interests or Restaurants I want to go to in Waze. When I am near, or I put in a route that is near those flagged POI's or Restaurants Waze can notify me that said destination is along the route and may be x minutes out of the way.

Display next instuction after the current one
It would be really handy if you could always show the turn instruction after the current on screen instruction. It will help with early lane positioning. Ideally including the lane that you need to be in.

Optie voor tractors (snelwegen EN ook autowegen vermijden)
Hallo, ik ben tractorchauffeur. En voor tractors is het verboden om op snelwegen en autowegen te komen. Het zou dus makkelijk zijn als je ook de optie hebt om autowegen te vermijden.

Ability to add obstructions offline
Wish there was a way to add (eg, road closures) offline - currently it seems the only way to do it is to actually drive there until the triangle button appears on the screen. Trying to warn everyone as a closed road is currently showing as roadworks/closed lane.

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!

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".

End route at end of closed segments
When the destination would end on a segment that is currently closed the route ends on the next closest segment (that isn't closed) which in many cases is a road in the back of the property where there's no access to the destination.
Consider ending the route at the last node that is not closed on the route - at the node the closure ends/starts.
3 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Provide Cost for Dynamic Toll Roads
When a suggested route includes a toll that has flexible prices based on other factors, please provide the cost for the toll for that route. For example, in and around Washington, DC, there are several toll roads that have flexible prices based on traffic, time of day, etc. It would be useful when selecting when to use a route with one of those tolls if Waze could provide us the amount we will be charged for the suggested route.

UK time restrictions (School Streets)
Monday to Friday
No entry between 8am and 9:15am."
And 2:45pm and 4:00pm."There are loads of these signs in hundreds of cities all over the UK especially London. Can't we allow for local map editors to save time based restrictions into the map?

Show factors that impact route prediction.
Show factors that impact route prediction.
Example: New Orleans has many closures during Mardi Gras season.
I had Waze show route to a Burger King that I knew would be impacted by closures. The pre-route screen did not show any information that would hint to the problem.
The route did come up as expected that was far from a direct route.
Then checking the map in Waze, it did show the many closures that the route page did not.Waze should show closures, traffic, Hazzard Reports and anything else that would impact the route.

Show bus lanes in motorcycle mode
In Australia, we can drive in bus lanes if you drive a motorcycle/scooter, therefore please preference a route with a bus lane, as it will be much quicker than one without.

Left hand HOV Lanes
Waze does not reliably suggest HOV lanes. When HOV lanes are dedicated, Waze will regularly suggest them when selecting an HOV route, but when it's a permissive lane (separated by dashed lines rather than separated by a physical barrier), Waze will not suggest the lane most of the time.
When a Wazer selects an HOV route, permissive HOV lanes should be suggested.
