Vehículos pesados
Estaría bueno que actualizen las rutas y mapas para el uso de vehículos pesado.
También que además de usar el mapa designado por la app, se pueda elegir una ruta y que la misma quedé grabada, sin necesidad de que la aplicación te "obligue" a ir por una ruta más rápida, la cual a veces no es la correcta o está en pésimo estado6 votes -
Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night
Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night on a two-lane road, 65 mph during the day on a two-lane road, and a maximum of 70 mph for any road. I would like to be able to put this in settings, so that Waze can come up with a better route and ETA for me. I do not like being sent down two-lane roads at night going 55 mph when I could be going down a highway at 67 mph, and could…

Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

Stop auto re-routing to save nominal time.
Perhaps the greatest problem with Waze is when the inconvenience of taking a nonstandard route is not proportional to the time savings the new route provides. All too often I’m taken on an insane route in comparison to the normal one just to save two minutes.
I would like to prevent Waze from automatically rerouting (or suggesting an alternative “best route”) unless the new route saves 10 minutes of the total “mainstream” route time.
Perhaps people could choose different thresholds for reroutes.
I hate it when all of a sudden I’m rerouted in traffic on the highway to take the…

Road restrictions
Entering this idea as the previous "Road width restrictions" idea is closed for votes as implemented, even though it is not. Probably why its been omitted for several years.
Have waze allow map editors to include road restrictions, including width, height, weight, vehicle type, time based and temporary.
Allow users to include vehicle specifics in their route options.
The existing implementation uses the vehicle registration, but that only works in some countries and not the UK which has a lot of such restrictions.
Other routing apps have these features.

Option to type custom planned arrival time
Would it be possible to add an arrival time that is off of the quarter hour? As strange as it sounds, I would like to know my departure time for a 3:05 pm arrival - for example. The estimated travel time can revert to being based on the closest (or ceiling/floor) quarter hour's prediction. But it would be helpful to have the alert be based on my actual time to leave.

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.

smarter routes with road closures
Adjust the routing algorithm to consider the end of the closure (when there is one) as an additional cost of the route instead of disregarding the street, let's look at a practical example:
We need a route from point A to B, the options are A->D->B, A->C->E->F->B where the fastest route is A->D->B, however segment D is closed. The logical route would be the second option (much more costly in terms of time).
Now let's imagine that this new generated route (A->C->E->F->B) costs 2h30m to get to point B and the route A->D->B would cost about 20m to get to…

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.5 votes -

block off dangerous area in South Africa
Hi! I have been using your service for few years and absolutely love it but please could you add the feature to block the dangerous area in South Africa as well? I see that this feature is now available in Brazil and Israel but South Africa is known for it's dangerous areas and crimes and I have actually ended up in Alexandra(one of the most dangerous areas in SA) while using Waze and I absolutely freaked out.

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.

Lowest toll charges
If the route durations are almost the same, it’ll be good if Waze can automatically place the one with the lowest toll charges as 1st option

New different possible routes interface now not user friendly
The previous way to recheck the possible different routes was way more user friendly. When the options were in list form, with one glance we could see the different possibilities and as well as details for each of those routes. With the new format we only see time to destination and no other info. Please go back to the old format. Change is not always for the better.

Never change my NON-TOLL route to a TOLL ROUTE without my explicit permission
We are on an extended road trip. We EXPLICITLY told Waze to avoid TOLLS. As you are driving along, Waze will pop up and suggest going the toll route because it will be faster, albeit, more expensive. If you don't happen to see the pop up and don't select "No Thanks", Waze WILL SWITCH IT AUTOMATICALLY to the TOLL ROUTE. If there's another setting to stop that, I haven't discovered it yet. You SHOULD NEVER EVER change my route just because it's faster without my explicit permission to do so.
