Timeframe for the toll highway
it would be nice to add the ability to choose the time when the toll highway can be used to calculate the route. Sometimes there are promotions for the tool highway

Lane guidance interface
Hi, I have a suggestion to improve lane guidance in Waze.
Currently, when a turn is coming up (e.g., turn right), Waze shows which lanes can be used (e.g., both right lanes). But sometimes, right after that turn, the driver needs to make another move (e.g., a left turn).
In those cases, it would be helpful if Waze still showed the usable lanes, but highlighted the most optimal one for the next maneuver. For example, use a slightly different shade (like a darker green) to indicate that staying in the left of the two right lanes will make…

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…

"Avoid" option for single track roads with passing places
When travelling in Devon, Cornwall or anywhere where there is a lot of unspoiled countryside, I suggest Waze make available an option in the Navigation Settings to "AVOID" Single Track Roads With Passing Places.
63 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Show blocked and illegal lanes
London, Clapham Park Lane. Bus lane at a junction. There is a left turn lane for buses only. But Waze shows to turn left and does not show the forbidden lane on the map. I had a fine for being in that lane. Please edit the map to show that lane. Possible even a verbal warning to the unwary

Avoid traffic jams.
I often travel with 3 kids on long road trips. Always rather be moving than standing in place with screaming kids and I am SURE a lot of people would agree. I recently had a trip take 10+ hours instead of the original 7 because of completely predictable and avoidable traffic jams on highways. Clearly not there in the middle of the night when I depart but jams there every day since they are because of ongoing construction work on a lane. I kind of assumed waze already tried to help you avoid these but I guess I was…

Hi,
I live in Northern Virginia in the Washington DC suburbs. Many of my trips take me around the DC Beltway and on other roads that have "Hot Lanes." The Hot Lanes generally operate next to the regular lanes, but being toll lanes, sometimes move faster, which is why some people use them.
Most of the time, I don't use Hot Lanes because most of the time, they don't get me there appreciably faster and are not worth the money. There have, however, been times when I would have liked to have known how much time I…

Fastest route regardless of toll fees
Currently Fastest Route takes toll amount and distance into consideration. Many times, better routes with much higher tolls + a longer highway detour is in fact faster.
While there is an option to opt out of tolls, there is no way to have the "Fastest" route regardless.
Fastest should mean really the fastest and not "according to what Waze thinks people might want".

Feature to Avoid Specific Road
I really do love Waze! You guys are great! But can you PLEASE add an option to avoid specific roads (or steps of a route)? There’s a route that Waze directs me on my commute daily, both ways, that includes 2 roads that are extremely dangerous. I don’t mean difficult intersections or something like that. I mean regularly reported gun violence, car jackings at stop signs/lights, and gang activity. I literally had this map editing option back in the days of printing out mapquest directions… any kind of option would be wonderful! Thank you!

Reporting of traffic jams in filter lanes or turning lanes
Hi, many times while driving on the highway I would pass a filter lane or turning lane at a traffic light that is extremely long. I would like to be able to report this so other users who might be coming up to the turning lane would know its present status and can decide if they want to continue there or go to another turn off. Currently, I can only flag whether there is traffic on the "main road" that I am traveling on.

Suite of Tolls features (toll plazas location, toll prices, total costs per ride, etc)
English: The idea would be to have a bunch of tolls features that would be highly useful in different manners. All of them would be managed/contributed by the users themselves, something very similar to what we already have regarding Gas Stations:
- Locations of Tolls Plazas, with notification when getting closer to it and informing the updated value based on the vehicle type the user configures;
- Option to add, update or delete tolls plazas location and prices based on vehicle type;
- Total amount of costs to be spent in the Routes Summary - it'd help the user decide…
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Account for congestion of multiple lanes merging into one
When there is a junction with two highways and a small road, consider it a standstill traffic jam heading from any highway onto a small road. Because it's 4-6 lanes going into 1 lane - it will certainly slow traffic down to a halt.

Give at least one non toll option.
When searching for new routes, always give at least one option that is not toll related. I always have to run a search with tolls on, and another search with tolls off. Almost always when tolls are on, it gives 3 differnt routes all containing tolls. Then when I run with tolls off, the routes are within a minute or two of the toll roads. However sometimes the toll road will be 20 to 30 minutes faster. Requiring at least one given route be non toll, would make checking the speed differnece so much…

toll selection based on user pref
When traveling i would like the option to choose a toll road based on the time saving. Going on a toll road that costs $8-10 to save 1 min of travel time seems pointless. Though if I am in a hurry and it saves valuable minutes i want to know. i would like a check box that is "Use toll roads when time saving is 10 mins + option"

Group toll passes & exemptions by country and/or state
It would be great that if in the app the Toll passes and exemptions would be grouped by country and/or state. As there are a gazillion ones in the list it's hard to find the ones you want to choose.
Ex. Belgium -> LEZ Antwerp, LEZ Bruxelles, LEZ Ghent and etc.
France -> Crit'Air 1,2,3,4,5,E
Germany -> Umweltplakette Grün, Umweltplakette gelb.Regards

Road Improvements & Increase Highway Lanes, Carpools
How many times have you traveled on a highway with consistent heavy traffic with empty space on either side and wondered, why don't they just add more lanes? [CA-237 San Jose]. Then you wonder how you can get your voice heard because everyone else is most likely thinking the same thing?
Or you go onto a heavy on ramp and wonder, there's room for carpool, but everyone is waiting into a single line, why don't they add it?
Or there is a pothole, but who to contact to fix? Or road improvement, or on ramp, off ramp are dangerously…

Public transport lane indicator
By indicating the lanes on the road when driving on, for example, 4 lanes, there is no way to inform the user that one or more lanes are intended only for public transport.
It would be great to introduce a special public transport icon for such lanes.
This is especially true for straight stripes.7 votes -
select locations to avoid
Click a specific location you want to avoid (dangerous, long light, frequent traffic, personal reasons, etc). If you can click to add a stop to a route, you should be able to select a location and say Avoid this (Just for this trip, Save to un-favorites list, or Always avoid). Currently I have to add a fake stop to trick Waze into rerouting around a known bad spot.
