Stop forcing toll routes
I use waze every day for my daily commute and love almost everything about the app.
That being said, I am frustrated with a recent update in regards to the routing options. I used to be able to select avoid toll roads, and all of the routes provided would be toll free. Now, even if I have avoid toll roads selected, there is still one or more routes showing toll options. I live here, I know where the toll roads are, and if I wanted to spend an extra $100/wk I wouldn't need Waze as those roads always have less…

Yellow Box Junction Cameras
TLDR Version: At the moment on Waze you can only report either speed cameras, red light cameras or fake cameras, having a 'yellow box junction' camera would be a logical and great addition imho.
Non TLDR Version: Yellow box junction cameras drive me nuts (for those not UK based these are cameras that make sure yellow box junctions - ie boxes marked on the road to stop drivers stopping at the entrance to a side junction and blocking it), mainly because not all yellow boxes are enforced with cameras (so drivers from all angles enter it and the only way…

Be able to find any address as before
Go back to the old navigation where you can put in any address and it would calculate the entire trip. How would you determine what middle stops to use on a route that won't take you out of your way. It worked fine before this update.

Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic
Informing WAZE of blocked roads is problematic. There should be just one quick button which only says blocked and is used when the road that WAZE recommended was not taken because it was blocked. Currently a four way intersection has four choices on which part is blocked but you cannot stop in the middle of a busy intersection to tell WAZE which of the four roads is blocked. Past the intersection, it is difficult to enter this data into WAZE while still driving. A single blocked button will let WAZE figure out which recommended road was not taken.

URGENT
Countless people want the same thing. Get on it. We need multiple starts and stop points like Mapquest allows. Stop delaying and do it. I love your app. Make it even better.❤️ Something about languages was on here, too. Listen to people that love you! We want to help.

"Easy drive" mode
define the navigation logic so that it will skip narrow streets, traffic lights, stop signes, any road when the average speed is under 40 km/h etc. Allow for a 20% longer ride, but get me home fresh and not drained...

Route Optimizer
In Waze you enter multiple addresses, then you pick up your start destination.
Waze resolves your Route with shortest time or kilometers.
After you finish the first route, if you are in Route Optimizer, and start Waze, Waze automatically picks the next optimized route and so on with the third and next entered destinations. I know there is a planner but when the time is up, the destination is gone from the history.2 votes -
Automatic Favorites
If I deviate from my route and stop for any length of time, Waze should prompt me to add as a favorite place when I resume. For example if I stop at grocery store, car wash, gym or any other place on way home I'd like to have I my favorite places to add as stop on future trips. Likewise if I'm on a trip and stop at great place to eat, I might want to stop next time.

Copilot feature
I have a suggestion that I think would be excellent and differentiating from other applications. This is a functionality that could be called "Copilot", and that allows a device with a Waze account to establish a new destination to a different device. For example, I have Waze on my device while I'm driving, and my wife can set a new destination for me from her own device without having to touch mine, for that reason I thought the function could be called "Copilot".
This same functionality would also be very useful when navigating with CarPlay, so that I can continue…

Bug: Chosen route changes to shortest route after stopping without warning
I've discovered that if I choose one of the alternate routes (if it is longer), and start navigating that route, if I go off the route and stop, say, for lunch, when I return to Waze it has rerouted to the default shortest route rather than the original alternate I had chosen. In one case I was unaware of this at first and it started taking me in the opposite direction in order to connect to what was (originally) the shortest route, but due to my current location was now a much longer route.
That or the "shortest route" default…

Also more functionality with sharing your location and allowing those you share your location with to request your location if sharing stops working or you close the app accidentally. Also, reports from travel done that…

"Along the Way"
It'd be great to have some sort of functionality to where if I'm going from point A to point B, but I want to stop "along the way" at, say, a Taco Bell, you could search for these interim destinations, see how many there are, and which ones are more out of the way than others. Oftentimes, if you search now, it stops your route and maybe even sends you backwards. If I could know that if I wait 20 more miles, there's a Taco Bell 0.2 miles out of the way, I might rather do this than turning around…

Vehicle on left side of highway
Please add an option to report a vehicle stopped on the LEFT side of the highway. Often a Wazer will report a car on the side of the road, but it’s actually against the left wall and it’s confusing and dangerous.

Waze Unplanned Road Closure Alerts
Would it be possible for Waze developers to notify user of an unplanned route closure the moment point A and destination are entered? Having entered work destination (using multiple interstates), ware tried to reroute me may times to alternate roads - the MOMENT I logged on. It turned out the Interstate was closed 15 miles ahead, and I was stuck for 2 hours. If Waze knows the road has an issue along the route, an alert upon destination entry (like IMRIX) would be most helpful.

Parking Entrances and Most Common Parking Locations
When driving to a destination, the street address does not always correspond to the street where you park. In the case of someone in a condo (like me), the garage entrance is at the side of the building, not at the front. The roads you take to the address is not the same as where you would go if you want the parking garage (some one way streets would require you go around the block).
While I could mark home as the side street, there are similar problems for retail stores, where because of divided roads, parking lots, multiple entrances,…

Hazard ahead “Still There?” Buttons distracting
Hazard warnings for stopped vehicles are sometimes accompanied by radio buttons to confirm whether the vehicle is still in the same place or not.
These buttons are WAY too bright and large, almost blinding when I’m driving at night.
Please make these less distracting. My passenger can fill in your update report.

Add ability to route via a gas station
Of all the POIs out there, gas stations are the most important. Waze should be able to incorporate a gas station stop into its directions. It should also be possible for users to report the location of gas stations from the app.
