In addition to quickest route, display safest route, incorporating factors like street lights at night, bad potholes, and animal crossing (e.g. deer crossing during dawn and dusk, when deer are 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.

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."

Save a route, not just a destination.
Save a route, not just a destination. We have a new driver in our house and we'd like to save specific routes for her to follow. We realize this could impact the time to destination but would be acceptable in certain situations

Beperkte snelheid
Graag een voertuigcategoriekeuze toevoegen: auto met aanhangwagen. Deze zou dan rekening moeten houden met lagere maxinumsnelheden en verbodsbepalingen. Erg handig voor bv vakantieverkeer met caravans/vouwwagens en beroepsverkeer (aannemers/hoveniers/etc).

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.

Ciclismo
Gostaria de sugerir a inserção de alertas de condução avisando os condutores sobre rotas de treino de ciclismo na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais na Orla da Lagoa da Pampulha em horários específicos. estes alertas ajudariam na prevenção de acidentes e remediação de controles de velocidade e alertas de desvio de rotas aos condutores.

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.

Mark temporary the route as blocked, unavailable, reroute options
Add the option to mark the current route or road segment as unavailable or ability to calculate completely alternate route for the next couple of miles. I found myself multiple times on a suggested route that was closed due to roadwork, incident or event by the police for some reason. I tried to avoid it but waze kept on routing me back that blocking point… I usually have to drive random a lot of miles until the route changes enough so that I can be given an alternate route. Happened in cities, highways (due to accident ahead). This would be…

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…

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?

Rerouting should respect road class: please add a "prefer major roads" option
I have a long daily commute, usually two to three hours behind the wheel, and I use Waze every day. I'm based in the UK, but I think the issue below applies anywhere Waze operates.
The problem is how Waze reroutes around congestion. As soon as there's heavy traffic or a road closure, it drops me from major roads onto very minor ones: narrow single-track lanes where traffic in both directions shares one lane, often with no street lighting and no passing places. My car is mid-size and these lanes are simply too narrow for it. At night I've hit…

Add more stops
I know you guys allow us to add one stop but would it be possible to add 15 or more stops? I drive a school bus an having that feature would be great.

Google Maps to Waze routing
With a recent update we can now look up items over in Google Maps and share it to Waze. A feature I am requesting is when we look at the routes that Google Maps gives us, if we hit share from one of the selected routes, we be able to bring that to Waze direct.
I know that Maps and Waze routes differently. Having that Maps over is nice but I'd like to pick a route there and navigate with Waze.

Add tunnels to exceptions
Hundred thousands of people are claustrophobic and don’t want to pass through tunnels or get stuck in one during a traffic jam.
