Turn Express Lanes off just like you can Toll Roads
Please Please find a way to turn off express lanes. You did it for Tol Roads do it for express lanes. I turned off my toll road pass to see if it would help and it does not - besides there are times I want toll roads to be an option but NOT express lanes. Every day I head home it only gives me express lane options - I'm not getting a ticket for being on an express lane as a single rider and I'm unable to get around traffic becauses waze wants to assume I'm on an express lane

Create a bus/school bus icon
I am a bus driver and use Waze not only in my car but on trips to areas that are not always familiar to me for work. A bus is larger than a car but smaller than a truck. Sometimes routes good for car travel aren't quite wide enough for a bus and you could show us that.

Tolls whitelist
We need the option to whitelist certain tolls when on "Avoid Tolls". I generally want to avoid all tolls except for a specific one since every other way is basically unusable.

Distinguer routes de terre et routes goudronnées
Il serait bon de distinguer les chemins de terre et les routes goudronnées ou de rajouter comme type de véhicule 4x4, tracteur, camionnette ou camping-car; car Waze calcule parfois des itinéraires plus rapides en nous faisant passer par des chemins accessible seulement en 4x4 ou en tracteur. C'est dangereux et souvent on ne peut plus faire demi-tour. En plus parfois on ne gagne même pas de temps à avoir pris ce raccourci du coup! Il faudrait pouvoir faire un signalement "cette route n'est accessible que pour: et lister les types de véhicules différents"

show public transportation routes
We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion, where…9 votes -
dynamic rerouting
Please stop automatic (dynamic) re-routing. Waze no longer is asking for re-routing permission from the user during active navigation. Waze is now dynamically (automatically) re-routes user without askiing nor alerting the user. Please STOP automatic (dynamic) re-routing without asking user's permission. Please stop automatic dynamic re-routing without asking user.

Customise routes according to specific vehicles
Vehicles such as the Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks cannot drive on all city roads because of their low power and the speed limits imposed (45 km/h).
In Rome, for example, you can't drive on a very important road called the 'Tangenziale', or the motorway. This means that using Waze is not an option, as it often sends you to these roads, which are off-limits to small cars.
It would be better if these small vehicles could have other routes so they don't risk getting fined or worse.8 votes -
Provide the option to Avoid a route through a state
As states continue to press forward on legislation hostile to the LGBTQ+ community - with some even including potential arrests for being in your gender identity - please consider an option to avoid routing through an area, such as a city or state.
This will be key for the personal safety of LGBTQ+ community members.

Notice on passport needed
Please give a notice when routed through another country where a passport is needed. We were routed through Canada and didn’t realize it because it wasn’t called out. We did not have our passports with us, so had to change our route at the last minute which added miles to our drive.

Safety and crime based routes and reporting
Waze should introduce a feature that allows users to report unsafe or crime-prone roads—especially relevant in high-risk areas like South Africa. Based on personal experience, Waze has sometimes routed users through dangerous neighborhoods, which can be especially hazardous for tourists or those unfamiliar with the area.
This feature should allow users to flag roads where recent crime has occurred or where safety is a concern. These reports could be time-stamped and reviewed by the community, similar to how speed traps or traffic accidents are currently handled.
In addition, Waze should add a toggle in the app’s navigation settings—like those for…

Add Option To Avoid NYC Congestion Pricing
I drive from NJ to Queens NY and want to avoid the new congestion charge. Would like to see route options that avoid the new congestion road tax.
7 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

EV charging list filters
It would be perfect to see/sort/filter the charging list with distance (to current position, regardless of added time) availability, and charging speed. When a charger is needed, it should be possible to pick from a couple of closer, available and faster selection.

Plan a drive
I like the plan a drive option. I wish you could add more locations to a plan a drive. Basically make a full trip from start to finish and add all the location you want to stop at.
7 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Plan your own trip
It would be nice if we were able to plan our own trip, by that I mean, you want to go to A from home but want to go via XYZ and not the routes you give us. Example: Home to Sudbury, Suffolk Via XY and Z ( Bibury )

It would be very helpful if there was an option to show roads that don’t allow pulling trailers
Waze does not give an option to show or redirect when you’re pulling a trailer. Some roads such as the Merritt Parkway don’t allow trailers. Sometimes we trailer motorcycles going south from Ct.

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

Add public transportation in app for users to choose as their vehicle type to match available restriction settings in WME.
In WME we have: Private, Electric, Motorcycle, Public transportation, Taxi.
In the app we have: Private, Taxi, Motorcycle (+ EV in a different menu)Main use case would be for unscheduled buses, such as tour buses, school buses, private hire buses, etc. that are not really “public transport”, but are allowed to use bus-only roads and turns.
Local authorities can define bus+taxi or just bus restrictions for turns and streets. We can map this correctly in WME, but then users don’t have an option that would route them through public transport only areas.7 votes -
Gas station stops by fuel range
Ability to enter fuel range of your vehicle to automatically suggest stops on long trips. When driving long distances, I have to make the destination a gas station that is *** miles away, then change my destination at that stop to the next gas station, then finally add my final destination at the last gas stop. Would be nice to enter a final destination and then a fuel range of 350 miles and suggest as many stops are needed.

Straighter/easier routes setting
There should be a way to set a preference for straighter/easier routes. Often, Waze suggests a route with a bunch of turns down small side streets or a really curvy road just to save one minute on a 20-minute drive when there was a more direct route such as a main road or highway. With this preference enabled, Waze would default to a route with a slightly longer duration that is much simpler and requires fewer turns.
