    Feature Request: Personalized Cost per Minute for Route Selection

    I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze's route selection much more useful.

    Currently, Waze will normally recommend the faster route, even when the time difference is very small and the faster route includes a significant toll.

    For example:

    • Route A: 42 minutes, no toll
    • Route B: 40 minutes, $6 toll

    Waze will normally choose Route B because it is faster, even though I am paying $6 just to save 2 minutes.

    I don't want to completely disable toll roads, because sometimes paying a toll is absolutely worth…

  2. Rerouting

    Rerouting. STOP IT. We pick a route for a reason. Maybe someone is afraid of bridges or tunnels. Maybe there is a fear of heights. Or maybe we know that we want to avoid a bad area of town. We cannot choose a route to do those things with assurance that it will not change. I'm aware that there are good reasons to reroute. But we need an option to automatically accept or deny a route change. It is not safe to stare at a Waze screen waiting for a popup to select NO for a reroute. I do not…

  3. stop changing routes

    Please add an option to disable Waze from changing your route as soon as you start driving, I specifically choose routes that are a couple minutes longer as I hate certain roads yet it’s useless as as soon as I set off Waze has already changed my route and put me back onto the way I didn’t want to go, this is really frustrating and definitely the worst part of the app

  4. Implement a user-selectable feature to inhibit re-routes that won't save more than nn minutes

    Simple. Provide radio buttons for Settings that will allow one to inhibit re-routes unless they will save one a minimum of some number of minutes; e.g., 5-minutes, 10 minutes

  5. Add a Skyway On/Off Preference

    Add a Skyway On/Off Preference

    I would like to suggest adding a Skyway On/Off option in Waze's route preferences.

    Currently, there are situations where all available route options use Skyway. While I understand that Skyway is often the fastest route, some drivers intentionally prefer SLEX or other non-Skyway roads, even if the travel time is longer.

    The reasons can vary:

    To reduce toll expenses.
    Personal driving preference.
    Familiarity with non-Skyway routes.
    Avoiding expressways when not necessary.

    An optional "Use Skyway" toggle (On/Off) would allow users to choose whether Waze should consider Skyway when calculating routes. When turned Off, Waze could…

  7. Smart Routing for Buses and Trucks - A Must-Have Feature for Waze

    Hello Waze Team,

    I would like to suggest adding a dedicated navigation mode for buses and trucks, with routing that takes large vehicle limitations into account.

    Today, Waze is excellent for private cars, traffic updates, and real-time navigation, but it can be very problematic for buses and heavy vehicles, especially in Israel and particularly in the Tel Aviv area.

    Many streets are extremely narrow, have sharp turns, low clearances, weight restrictions, or are simply not suitable for large vehicles. As someone who works in tourism and frequently travels with tourist buses, I have personally experienced situations where Waze directed our…

  8. Add maximum toll budget filter (Tambahkan filter maksimum biaya tol)

    Hi, it would be very helpful if Waze could add a feature to set a maximum toll fee limit. Instead of just "avoid tolls" entirely, we could filter routes based on our e-toll budget (for example: only show routes with total toll fees under Rp50,000). Thank you!

    [Halo, akan sangat membantu jika Waze bisa menambahkan fitur untuk mengatur batas biaya tol maksimal. Jadi, alih-alih hanya sekadar pilihan "avoid tolls" sepenuhnya, kita bisa menyaring rute berdasarkan anggaran saldo e-toll kita (sebagai contoh: hanya menampilkan rute dengan total biaya tol di bawah Rp50.000). Terima kasih!]

  9. Option to Select Expressway of Choice (Mix and Matching)

    In Phillipines there are Expressways that are owned by different companies.
    They are likely non competing so depending on your destination, you're either going to use either one of them or both.

    So It is natural to have them in Toll and HOV Passes (Autosweep RFID and Easytrip RFID), so the route functions correctly for your desired destination.

    But there are certain conditions that they are now competing.
    Specifically with NLEX Connector Road vs SKY WAY Stage 3

    Say you begin your travel at Santa Mesa Manila for example, if your destination for example is somewhere North like Pampanga or…

  11. Arrival Times

    Waze does not seem to take traffic Jams into account when posting arrival times. Sitting in traffic it just adds minutes to your arrival rather than adding a jam to the arrival time.

    Make the street names that appear right below the car icon larger in addition to the turn-by-turn directions in the black box in the top left corner. Also if I'm going somewhere and I want to search for a new location it shouldn't come up with no results it should ask if I want to cancel the current route and

  13. מניעת שכחת ילד ברכב

    פיצ'ר "מצב ילד" - מניעה אקטיבית של שכחת ילדים (ללא מטרת רווח)

    הצורך: התזכורת הנוכחית היא פסיבית וגורמת ל"עיוורון התראות".
    הפתרון:
    1. בתחילת נסיעה: הוספת מתג מהיר "יש ילד ברכב?" (יופיע חכם לפי שעות הגן/בית ספר).
    2. בסיום נסיעה: האפליקציה תדרוש פעולה פיזית (אישור בסליידר) כדי לוודא שהרכב נסרק, ולא תסתפק בהודעה שנעלמת.
    3. רשת ביטחון: התראה קולנית חריגה אם הנהג התרחק מהרכב מבלי שביצע את האישור.

    השורה התחתונה: הופכים את Waze מצופה מהצד לשותפה אקטיבית בהצלת חיים, באפס עלות חומרה למשתמש.

  14. Auto start disable/timeout setting

    Massively annoying when I enter a destination and the overview screen doesn’t give me chance to pick the preferred route before auto starting. A long distance navigation, 5 seconds isn’t enough time to properly review and allow selection of the route I want to take. Add an option in settings to disable auto route start altogether and also for those than want it on (since we can’t all have it the way we want) a setting to specify auto start timer please

  15. הצגת משך הנסיעה בהוספת עצירה

    תמיד כשמנווטים ליעד בוויז -
    רואים גם את שעת ההגעה
    וגם את משך הנסיעה הצפוי
    אבל ..!
    כשמוסיפים עצירה לא רואים את משך הנסיעה הצפוי מהעצירה ליעד. תוכלו להוסיף?

    זה מאוד חיוני כדי לתכנן עצירות במסלול ולהחליט אם הן כדאיות.
    ולהבין כמה זמן מנקודה לנקודה

  18. Setting for toll road suggestion

    Have a setting in the app, where you can request a minimum time savings before the app gives you toll road suggestions. For example, only provide toll road options. If the time savings is 10 minutes or more. I do not need toll options when it’s only going to save me three minutes.

  19. Toll Roads - Variable Toll Avoidance

    Summary: An additional check box in navigation in settings, that turns off variable tolls only leaving the Tolls that don't change prices.

    I'm surrounded by Toll roads in DFW, but they have these awful Toll roads that change to be like 20$ on Friday's after work. basically taking advantage of busy times to squeeze money out of us. I don't mind using the toll roads that I know the price of, the ones' with fixed pricing. But these drive me up a wall, so I usually end up setting it to show tolls and then if I see the toll…

  20. Add option to select routes that have reduced exposure to the headlights of oncoming traffic at night

    Add a driving preference/option that selects routes that have reduced exposure to the headlights of oncoming traffic at night to reduce glare and halos. In addition to generally avoiding busy streets, the route chosen might prioritize two-lane roads so the driver can get into the right lane, thereby moving farther away from oncoming traffic. Older drivers hate driving at night so this is a big opportunity to potentially attract new users.
