WAZE route option for golf cart path
I set up a route while on a golf cart path in The Villages, FL amd was given an option to use "golf cart" path. The route worked flawlessly! Is that an option somewhere in WAZE? If so, where is it?

Bug in when driving using Navigate adjusting "Avoid Highways and Tolls"
I think that if I am using the Navigate, but then decide to turn on or off the Navigation settings (Settings > Navigation) "Avoid Toll Roads & Avoid Major Highways, it should address this when it refreshes your route, but it does not. I have to completely Stop navigation and restart.

New road segment for yields
Currently the routing algorithm assigns a penalty where ever a junction is located in the editor. I believe no penalty should be assigned to a junction with a connecting yield segment, as traffic typically isn't slowed down at these junctions. I believe that creating a new yield road type segment would improve routing accuracy. I've seen many URs that could have been prevented if such a segment already existed. A junction with signal lights should not be treated the same as a junction with a yield.

Correct mileage designation.
Please change the designation 'oh point six miles' to the correct 'zero point six miles'. As a math teacher, this 'drives' me crazy.

Display Current Neighborhood (Urban) or City / Next City (Highways) on Top Bar
Title: Display Current Neighborhood (Urban) or City / Next City (Highways) on Top Bar
Description:
The Problem:
When driving, drivers often lose track of their general location. In cities, they don't know which neighborhood they are in. On highways, they lose track of which municipality they are passing through or which city is coming up next. The current interface lacks this contextual geographical reference.The Solution:
Add a smart location indicator on the top bar of the map screen that dynamically changes based on the driving environment:In Urban Areas: Display only the Current Neighborhood (e.g., "Downtown"), keeping the screen…

Feature Request: Introduce Dimension-Based Vehicle Routing for Japan and Asia
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to propose the introduction of dimension-based vehicle restrictions.
Currently, Waze primarily relies on vehicle categories and passes, which work well in many Western regions. However, in Japan and much of Asia, road restrictions are strictly based on physical dimensions—specifically height, width, weight, and vehicle length.
Because current categories cannot fully account for these physical limitations, large vehicles often face risks or get stuck on unsuitable roads.
Proposed Solution:
Map Data: Allow map editors to configure road segments with specific limits for height, width, weight, and length.
User Input: Allow users to input their vehicle’s…

היי ניווט לתחנות דלק עם אפשרות סינון סולר/95/טעינת חשמלית. אבל לדלק 98 אין וזה ממש חסר לנו הנהגים שמתדלקים רק 98
היי ניווט לתחנות דלק לפי סימון צרכים כמו 95/סולר/טעינת חשמלית יש הכל. אבל דלק 98 אין אפשרות לבחירה בעדיפות הגדרות. אני חושב שזה חשוב מאוד שיהיה כי החברים שלי ואני נוסעים הרבה ומחפשים המון באינטרנט לאיזה תחנה קרובה יש 98 וזה קשה. אני חושב שזה יהיה מאוד מועיל אם תצליחו לקדם את זה

Options for economical routes / shorter distance routes
It would be good if waze did something similar to google maps where it shows you the fastest routes but also shows you a more economical route that may take a bit longer but saves distance or saves fuel a bit.

“Reverse Trip” Option
I think it would be a great feature if Waze added a “Reverse Trip” button after completing a drive. Instead of generating a new route back based on Waze’s current suggestions, this feature would guide you back using the exact same route you originally took.
There are times when I discover an easier or preferred route during a drive and would rather return the same way instead of taking a different suggested route. This could be especially useful for short trips where you quickly return to your original starting point.

Bloquear zonas o lugares peligrosos
Seriía bueno que a uno le permita "banear" o bloquear lugares peligrosos o considerados como zonas rojas entre sus rutas para que la navegación no lo tire a uno por ahí, algo así como permite bloquear ferrys, peajes, etc.
Aquí en Guatemala hay muchas zonas de alto riesgo que sí uno entra, de entrada le disparan, pero Waze no lo sabe y tira rutas para que uno pase por ahí y siendo que uno no conoce, se arriesga a salir herido o muerto de esos sitios.

Opciones "Sin tráfico" y "Transitar con precaución"
Me gustaría que hubiera la opción de "Sin tráfico" para los casos donde el trancon terminó y pues ya no hay tráfico.
Además de la opción "Transitar con precaución" para zonas que pueden ser peligrosas para el vehículo y las personas.2 votes -
Lack of Context in Rerouting: Security Risks and User Autonomy
The current Waze algorithm often reroutes users on long-distance trips without providing the underlying reason (e.g., specific accidents, road closures, or incremental traffic). While this "silent optimization" might work for short urban commutes, it represents a significant strategic failure for long-haul navigation for the following reasons:
Safety vs. Efficiency: By prioritizing the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) above all else, the app frequently diverts drivers from well-monitored, high-infrastructure highways to poorly maintained or dangerous secondary roads to save a negligible amount of time. Without knowing why the route was changed, the driver cannot assess if the time-saving is worth the…2 votes -
Princess Donut and AI voices from Dungeon Crawler Carl
Would Love to have the voices for navigation of Princess Donut and AI from Dungeon Crawler Carl!
A third option would be Carl from Dungeon Crawler Carl.I would also love the option to pay to keep a certain voice so it never goes away.

Make the new arrow position work for those of us using the map facing North
Waze changed the position of the car to allow for more visibility for people who have the map facing their direction of travel, however they completely forgot about all of us who prefer the map facing North.
Now we are basically using 15% of the screen for navigation, the rest is dead space.
Also - whenever we are facing South we can’t see upcoming turns, forcing us to do potentially dangerous last minute lane changes.
This is a major safety concern and Waze needs to address it immediately!2 votes -
Night-Safe Routing
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a “Night-Safe Routing” option in Waze. This feature would allow users to choose routes that are safer and more comfortable when driving at night.
At night, some roads may be poorly lit, isolated, or less frequently used, which can make drivers feel unsafe or less confident, especially in unfamiliar areas. Current routing primarily focuses on travel time and traffic conditions, but does not account for nighttime safety factors.
By introducing a Night-Safe Routing option, Waze could prioritize routes that are better lit, more populated, and have more consistent traffic flow. This…
