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.

Stay on Major Road Option, Longer Distance, Faster Time
Give a route option to stay on MAJOR roads, state roads and highways, and choice of a slightly longer distance, but shorter time driving. Waze always takes me off the interstate or major state road to save a few miles off of my route, but in doing so I go through every stop sign, speed table, neighborhood and school zone possible. Sure it saved me a couple of miles, but added loads of frustrating time to my drive, increased gas usage and increased wear and tear on my car.
Not only that, the start and stopping of these shorter routes,…

TOWNS should be able to submit DO NOT USE THIS ROAD on certain roads
Towns should have a way of reporting problems with rerouting. In the case of many small towns intersecting two major highways, not all roads are appropriate for heavy traffic.
Towns should have a way to “prevent through traffic” on Waze, since Waze users totally blow off “no thru traffic” signs!
For example, small towns still using one lane bridges need to be able to prevent over use and over-weight; afternoon traffic blocking residential roads just because someone is trying to bypass an on-ramp; especially tricks using small town roads not equipped for big trucks and curbs, lawns, and lights all…

WAY OVERDUE - quick easy toggle between freeway routing and surface street routing. Too many steps to compare route quickness.
frequently in a busy freeway city culture being able to toggle quickly between quickest route freeway AND quickest route surface streets - takes too many steps to toggle. Needs to be on front page map. I’ve been a Waze member from the start and shocked that this has not happened where I can input a route for freeway driving and easily switch to surface streets where the route is OFTEN quicker but system keeps me in freeway gridlock when set for freeways. This is a big mistake to not have this as an easy toggle. Living in Los Angeles this…

Routes via faster alternate paths
I've noticed lately that Waze has been suggesting routes very similar to the routes suggested by Google Maps: through avenues and main streets that are most often jammed. Some time ago, Waze suggested smarter routes, avoiding traffic jams and going deeper into neighborhoods. The route was longer, but much faster. Today, he insists on passing only the main streets and this considerably increases the travel time. When the path is known I always follow the routes suggested in the past by Waze and 100% of the time I save between 5 to 10 minutes, which is a lot of time…

"Always Avoid This Intersection"
Waze needs an "Always Avoid This Intersection" feature.
Waze consistently routes me to turn left at a traffic light at an intersection that has 6 lanes of traffic merging into a single lane to get on to a freeway which is also controlled by a traffic light. The congestion there is ALWAYS terrible and easily adds 20 minutes to my commute. Users with local knowledge should be able to specify intersections to avoid at all times. This "avoid list" would be user specific, thereby allowing each user to maintain it (add/delete intersections) as necessary.4 votes -

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

Take one toll on route but avoid another
If there is more than one toll on a route, I would appreciate if we were able to select that we want to take one toll but avoid another.
Eg. I have two tolls on my way to work, one is $5 and saves me 15 min, the other is $6 and only saves me 5 min, so I want the route to take me through the first toll and avoid the second.
Right now Waze will only let me either take tolls or none at all

multistop saved routes
Every weekday morning I drop my daughter off at school on my way to work. I set my work address in waze first and then "add a stop" and put in my daughter's school. It would be nice to have an option to set saved route with multiple stops so that I could select it each morning in one step.

Include traffic signal count on route summary.
For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

Add favorites to a route
When I go on long trips, I enjoy stopping at rest areas, but I have no clue where they are or when they'll appear. I've ended up at a sketchy gas station, only to discover a rest area just 2 miles ahead. I also like pulling over at specific restaurant chains, but again, I don't know their locations. It would be awesome to add favorites to a route so the app tracks the distance to the nearest Chick-fil-A or Buc-ee's, then resets after you pass it to show the next one. This feature would be a game-changer.

I select avoid freeways and Waze still takes me the quickest. I would like to use the back roads, scenic routes. I’m not in a hurry.
Back roads/scenic routes. Not everyone enjoys driving on the freeway/highway. I do use interstates but often want to use the back roads/scenic routes. Especially if I’m not on a time schedule and or in my classic vehicle.

Adjust routes
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitations:
- Add the ability to manually edit a route with multiple intermediate stops
Waze usually finds good routes, but sometimes I want to manually adjust it — set 2–3 waypoints, fix the path myself, and avoid places I don’t want to pass. Right now, it’s not possible to fully customize a route this way.
- Allow starting a route from a different location (not current GPS location)
In Ukraine, GPS can be unreliable or blocked in certain areas. Sometimes…

To avoid road construction
You should add so that you can do the same to avoid road construction as with avoiding toll roads! That is, choose another alternative route if road construction is on the proposed route. A completely different thing is that you should add a warning for all "fixed" road bumps so you don't get hit by a car!

Skickade till Waze:😉 Ni borde lägga till så man kan göra samma för undvika vägbyggen som med undvika betalvägar! Alltså välja annan alterna
Hej,
Ni borde lägga till så man kan göra samma för undvika vägbyggen som med undvika betalvägar! Alltså välja annan alternativ rutt om vägbygge finns på föreslagna rutten. En helt annan grej är att ni borde lägga in varning för alla ”fasta” vägbulor så man slipper sönderkörd bil!3 votes -
Toll limit
There needs to be an option to be able to specify which toll roads to use on a given route.
Oftentimes I'm going to a location where I only use portion of the paid highway as the second half of the journey is very expensive and I am able to divert.However, Waze always sends me the highway way as the fastest route, despite not being the most efficient or cost saving.
This could be easily overcome but being able so set a cap price on tolls OR being able to add highway roads to an exception list within the…

Emergency Route Mode
"Emergency Route Mode" – a new Waze feature that instantly calculates the fastest route in urgent situations, bypassing all preferences (tolls, traffic, dirt roads, rural routes, highways, etc.).
