International Land Border Wait Time
I would like to suggest that Waze capture wait times at land border ports of entry into the US in the Canadian and Mexico border with automated geofencing. There are millions of people who come in a day into the US and would be a great market for people who come shop in the US.

Border
The fact that your app still doesn’t have options to avoid going through another country is pathetic. Waze will suggest longer routes through the United States when driving anywhere bear the border in Canada. Not only is it stupid and inconvenient, it has become outright dangerous with the way ICE works.
Fix this you clowns, it’s a simple thibg to add to the settings

International Land Border Wait Time Predictions
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature enhancement that could significantly improve the accuracy of ETA predictions for routes involving international land borders, such as those between the USA and Canada or the USA and Mexico.
Current Situation:
At present, it appears that Waze calculates ETA for routes involving international land borders based on general traffic data. This approach treats the border crossing as a regular segment of the journey, comparing travel times between points A and B without considering the unique delays associated with border crossings.Proposed Enhancement:
To provide more accurate ETAs and…42 votes -
Show border line on map
Since the corona virus crossing borders in Europe isn't that easy as before. So it would be nice if I could see the border line clearly on the map. A thick red line for example (like google maps) or something similar would be neat.
It also makes things easier to navigatie if you know whether you entering a different country when planning your route. In Europe, this sometimes could be the case.

Maximum Speed info box when crossing a border
When crossing borders if would be interesting to have a little popup infobox appear on the screen which summarizes the different speeds allowed in the country to which you have crossed the border to.
For example when i'm driving from Luxembourg to France, when crossing the border into France, i would get the info that
1) on Tolled Freeways the max speed is 130 kph
2) Non Tolled Freeways max speed 110 kph.
3) Minor Highway 80kph and etc.When i drive into Germany.
1) Freeway 130 kph
2) Minor highway 90 kph
3) in the city 50 kph10 votes -
Stop changing language when you cross the border
I don't know if it's my phone or waze, but I'm taking a trip around Europe and every time I cross a border the voice commands change language. And it's not even the language of the country, I'm in Italy now and it switched to French. My native tongue is Dutch but I'm from Belgium so I speak a bit of French but it would still be nice just to keep the language I selected.

Adding distance and time till the cross border
It would be great, if the user picks a route that crosses the border, than the application shows additionally the approximate time and distance till the border and not only the time and distance till the end point.
It's due to the fact that crossing some borders it self take additional time, and that the prices for fuel differ in different countries. It would help managing when you need to refill the car, and in which country.
Just two numbers: time till border, distance till border.

Add "avoid border crossings" setting, just like avoid toll roads or ferries.
Navigating from New York to Detroit, there's a route that crosses through Canada. I didn't bring my passport and wish to avoid this, but if I manually force another route, I might miss out on traffic-responsive optimizations. It should be possible to avoid border crossings just like any other route preference.

Change matching color pop-up window activation border--it's dangerous!!!
When I want to dismiss pop-up windows while driving, the border to indicate they're activated matches the color of the window and is very hard to see. As a result, I have to focus my attention on the Waze screen and away from my driving while operating the navigation knob in my 2020 Mazda to make the window active for dismissal--or let the window remain up where it obsures my map view. PLEASE change color of this border to white, yellow or anything that doesn't match the window color so I can spot it in my peripheral vision and keep…

Feature Requests for Waze: Improving Cross-Border Travel in Europe
Because I use Waze and travel between countries in Europe, I felt the need for the following functionalities:
When planning a route, it should show which countries require a vignette, if you pass through areas that require additional fees, and specify what those areas are. (For example, I planned a trip from Germany to Hungary and received notifications that I needed special permits to travel, but I didn’t know what permits were required, which caused me some panic.)
While heading towards Vienna on the highway, there were signs indicating that highway A21 was blocked, yet Waze was showing the route…

When losing internet connection, by crossing a border for example, waze/andoid auto closes completely. Because of this you have to set your route again while driving. Please let it continue in offline mode and reconnect when the roaming or new signal kicks in. The current behavior is dangerous.

Show international borders on route
It would be very helpful to show international borders. For some reason these are not visible once the route is chosen. Due to uncertain wait times at some borders, which Waze isn't very good at calculating, it would be helpful to at least display them and let drivers make choices based on other information (there are other apps that monitor these wait times, such as Border Watch). Also, had I not already known that Waze was sending me through Albania, I would have been unable to avoid additional charges, hassles, and delays (Albania requires extra documentation from European…

Arrow icon - make different colours
Make different coloured Arrow icons (yellow, green, orange, pink, fusha, white (with a black border), black (with a white border) as the Arrow icon is the biggest and easiest to see while driving (the only colour now is blue, and it's the same colour as most of the map lines, which can make it hard to see at times).
