  1. Add slippery or wet floor alerts

    It would be very useful for the driver to add slippery or wet floor alerts due to rain or oil, this helps driving safety.

  2. Rank routes by least number of minutes in traffic

    For a long drive, calculate "% of time spent in traffic" and "# of minutes spent in traffic" and include that as a criteria.

    We just stared at 3 different routes for a 4+ hour drive that had varying lengths and amount of time in stop & go traffic. We would have liked to have selected easily "the one that makes the car move the most and has the least stop & go, so we don't get car sick and our children don't wake up."

  3. Rail road crossings.

    The routes need an option to avoid Rail Road crossings. The map should ideally show if there is an underpass for the train.

  4. 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

  5. Restricted areas feature

    Give people the ability to label areas within waze as "not safe" so waze can route loved ones around high crime areas. This would not be a crowd sourced data point but a parent could label parts of town (think...draw a polygon around an area) as restricted or unsafe. This would keep vulnerable children out of high crime areas or areas with known offenders.

  6. Avoid a street

    my wife was robbed at gunpoint on the way to our son's therapy, he is autistic and goes to therapy daily. she would like to avoid this street because she is traumatized, sometimes the route recalculates and sends her there, she does not obey and makes a maneuver to force recalculation again, but this makes her apprehensive and tense, but this takes time on the route and they get late for therapy. I'd like to indicate that street is unwanted and never pass that way. I know sometimes a feature is not important for a product road map, but it…

  7. Add option to avoid passenger vehicle only roads

    When driving a commercial vehicle (UHaul van) would be great to be able to avoid passenger car only parkways such as those common in the SW Connecticut/NYC region

  8. Add a route option

    I live in Texas and the route options do not take into consideration safety. Usually it gives me routes that are dark( no street lights) and thru miles in rural areas. I would like to suggest that a safe route option is added to the route options that takes the driver thru populated and areas with good street lightning. One should never compromise safety.

  11. The pervious version was better as it automatically started the drive with a count down. Now I have to confirm the route every time I start

    Also one cannot easily schedule the drive for later as before. Now one has to go through some planning workflow. The planned drives does not include the planning of ferries schedules.

  12. The new version change makes it much more difficult to plan a trip for the following day. The last version was excellent.

  13. Make "Do not avoid Pay Roads" assume all Vignettes / Tolls paid

    When driving through Europe, Waze avoids highways even when the option "avoid toll roads" is turned off (it should use toll roads). Each country has a different vignette. Travelling a 5h car ride from Crostia to Austria can take you through Slovenia or Hungary. To use highways you need to add the Vignette for Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia. That takes time and is confusing and inconvenient.

    Solution: when "Avoid toll roads" is disabled, take any road a typical car would drive, including all vignettes you buy in that country. Assume the driver will buy them. Give infos about tolls and…

  14. Gated Community Traffic Issue

    Hi! In Fairfield a Gated community in Ponte Vedra Beach, GPS takes all visitors to a resident gate instead of our security gate. This has caused traffic jams and accidents as drivers without a pass may not be buzzed in ans have to make a U turn onto a highway. Is there a way to re-direct Waze customers to our Security Gate?

  15. Add a "prefer main roads" option

    Whenever I visit an area that I'm not familiar with, Waze tends to find the fastest possible route to where I'm going, which often involves cutting through residential areas or some narrow back road. This is great if someone is late or wants to do whatever it takes to get somewhere as fast as possible, but I would love an option to prefer main roads, even if it adds a few minutes to my trip, just so the drive is as easy and safe as possible.

  16. Detailed info on "car on shoulder" warning

    Instead of just "car on shoulder ahead" it would be great to know which shoulder (left or right). In Minnesota we are required by law to move over to give cars on the shoulder room. It would be great to know which way I need to move to avoid hitting the car or striking someone who is out of the vehicle.

  18. Prefer fuel efficient routes settings

    Similar to the setting on Google maps. Add prefer fuel efficient routes so that if a route is only a short amount of time slower but shorter / more efficient (less fuel use) that route is taken. For example a route that is 5 mins slower but 30 miles shorter would be preferable.

  19. 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.

  20. Routes options in case of road closure, detour, or anything else

    Was going to my friends house early this morning and police had the main road closed. This had just happened and wasn't going to take long enough for a detour to be put in place and I was so close to my friends house Waze gave no additional routes as options. Luckily I new the area enough to know what to do but I know things like this happen everyday across the country. It would be nice to have a feature that lets you choose a road or distance to avoid for these situations. Typically Waze gives you multiple options…
