Route with toll charge
As the route suggested in the first place is always the fastest route (even if it has associated costs), it would be nice to have a warning before starting the route, whenever it was a route that included toll roads. Thank you.

lane guidance
Dear Waze Team,
Good day, I am a user based in Malaysia. I have been using Waze as my primary navigation tool for many years and truly appreciate the innovation and convenience it provides. However, after years of usage, I have noticed a main feature where improvements could be made.
Before Waze became my go-to navigation app, I used PAPAGO GPS. One standout feature in PAPAGO was its lane guidance system. Upon approaching an exit, a pop-out window would display an image of the specific junction with arrows clearly indicating the correct lane to take. This visual aid was particularly helpful when navigating complex or overlapping flyovers in cities like Kuala Lumpur.
While Waze offers a basic lane guidance system with arrows, I feel it could be enhanced to match or exceed the clarity provided by older GPS systems. The lack of a detailed visual aid in Waze sometimes results in missing the correct exit, especially in busy urban environments.
Given that earlier GPS devices successfully implemented lane guidance with images, I wonder why this feature has been omitted in a modern, online GPS application like Waze in 2024.
Please don’t take my feedback as criticism; rather, it is shared out of a genuine appreciation for Waze and a desire to see it improve further. As a long-time user, I simply wanted to share my experience and suggestions for your consideration.

Navigation by car type, fuel economy.
Update vehicle types to EV, PHEV, Hybrid, Petrol and Diesel. Then show routes most economical based on vehicle types (mostly petrol, diesel and Hybrid).

Street name below the location icon.
It is a serious flaw that Waze does not show the street name below the navigation icon. This is only displayed when the "go to" navigation is activated. In common use, the street name is never displayed and this makes it very difficult for the user to know which street they are traveling on or if they are in the right place. Waze needs to fix this. Another tip is that when we are traveling on a road, Waze should indicate the city we are passing through. This is also very important for better localization and a better user experience.

Drive with others
My idea would make it so you can add friends to your profile, and with those friends you could “drive with them” and it would link you guys on the same trip. Then it could find switch out points for you based on your drive. Also while I’m driving, the other person could close out the app and when it’s their turn, i pass the drive to them and it picks up on their phone right where I left off.

Waze often tells drivers to turn too far from the actual turn, possibly causing wrong way drivers
I have noticed that when approaching a turn, Waze often tells me to turn several hundred feet before a turn, without indicating that the turn is still several hundred feet away.
I believe that this may be contributing to wrong way crashes on highways. When approaching a highway entrance ramp that will be coming up on the left, many highway intersections will have the off ramp for the opposite direction first. Being told to turn when the wrong road/driveway is next to me has caused me confusion For someone who is tired or impaired, being told to turn at the wrong entrance could easily lead to getting on the highway in the wrong direction.I hope that you will consider making turn instructions clearer to try to help prevent wrong way drivers.

Ability to reduce number of times a roundabout warning is given
Can we have a setting in Waze that limits the number of times a traffic warning is issued? (I'm thinking primarily of roundabouts.) It's annoying to get warnings multiple times when approaching a roundabout - one warning would be sufficient.

hazardous goods restrictions
"Hello, would it be possible to integrate transport restrictions for hazardous goods, such as tunnels and the detours to bypass them, into the application? This would help thousands of drivers simplify their routes. I have a file listing all the tunnels in France with their categories and locations to make the integration task easier for you."

Customizable Time Difference for Toll Roads vs. Free Roads
Have you ever wondered if the extra cost of a toll road is really worth it in terms of time saved? We propose a new feature that allows users to set a customizable time difference between toll roads and free roads, so Waze will automatically navigate you through a toll road only if it meets your personal criteria.
Here’s how it works: You set the time difference—let's say 10 minutes. If the toll road saves you more than 10 minutes compared to the free route, Waze will direct you through the toll road. If not, it sticks to the free route. This gives users more control over their navigation and spending, ensuring they only pay when it’s truly beneficial.

Aviso dinámico: indicación de ciclistas en la via
Indicador de aviso de ciclistas en la vía. Lo perfecto sería que fuese dinámico, actualizándose con una aproximación de la velocidad de los ciclistas en la vía y la actualizaciones de los diferentes conductores. Muy útil.

One touch Highway/No Highway route recalculation
so that I can check and see if the highways are doing worse than the side streets, it would be great to have a one touch button after the routes are calculated to switch to no highway, let the routes recalculate and then if I want to switch back to highway

Tappe intermedie
Uso quasi sempre Waze, tranne quando ho la necessità di inserire svariate tappe intermedie nel mio viaggio.
Sarebbe utile poter aumentare il numero di tappe intermedie (ad oggi è solo una se non sbaglio) con la possibilità di selezionare il punto di passaggio direttamente sulla mappa.

Simplify road closed
Marking a road closed can be simplified. Waze knows where it wants me to go, I hit the button saying closure, why am I not asked to confirm that road X is closed? I could do that, probably while trying to figure out where to go and traffic is behind me. There is no way I can figure out why waze is giving me a bunch of arrows pointing everywhere when I just said that road you want me to take is closed. Get me out of here and toward my destination, please..

barra del radar de tramo
Cuando usas el móvil en un soporte horizontal no aparece la barra que te indica en qué posición te encuentras con respecto al radar de tramo. Estaría genial poder verla para llevar el control sobre todo cuando vas en moto que no escuchas las indicaciones.

Route from other location + display and zoom the entire route
I miss a Waze feature to plan a road trip from other location than I'm currently at. This would come very handy to familiarize myself with the actual route offered and better know its nuances. I also miss inability of Waze to display the entire route possibly zooming at its details in order to better know the actual route I am being sent through.

3 idées pour faciliter l'usage de Waze
1) Je pense qu'il serait utile de permettre de rentrer les coordonnées géographiques (longitude et latitude) de la destination.
2) Pouvoir sélectionner un lieu sur la carte, en cliquant dessus, permettrait de choisir une destination que l'on connaît mais sans en avoir l'adresse.
3) il serait utile de pouvoir enregistrer sa position actuelle directement dans Waze (sans devoir se l'envoyer par message) pour pouvoir

when rerouting, audio queue should be cleared at same time as screen updates
Currently, if I do not follow Waze route, it quickly reroutes based on my new location - which is good.
Problem is that whilst the screen reroutes quickly, waze continues to give its (I assume) cached audio instructions for the old route. I can travel 2 urban blocks with waze telling me to turn left at xxxx St and then turn right, and then the turn right at yyyy St - it can go through several instructions that are no longer relevant, and potentially confusing for drivers as they make no sense against the route showing on the display.
When this happens, I get "old" instructions and also miss the relevant new ones.
Issue happens in Android app and AA.
Suggestion is that as soon as Waze reroutes on screen, it should cancel any incomplete audio instructions.
