Add a feature/option to avoid railroad crossings
Today I got stuck waiting for a freight train twice. It would have saved me time to have an option on Waze to give me an alternate route and how many minutes the detour takes in order to avoid the railroad crossing. When I got stuck for the 2nd time I took a right turn to explore the area and found an underpass 2 blocks away, which saved me about 5 minutes. This gave me the idea.

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…

Toll roads automatic on/off feature when frequently traveling abroad
It will be helpful if you could please add a feature that will automatically choose ON/OFF for TOLL ROADS when frequently traveling back and forth from ones home country to abroad.
Example, one uses toll roads at the "home" country but when abroad with a rental car wishes to avoid such roads.
Currently there's no such option so when landing abroad or crossing a border, one needs to remember to manually shut down the toll road option, then when arriving back to the home country needs to remember to turn it back on, otherwise the app navigates via much longer…

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…

Add avoid railroad crossings toggle
Waze already lets us avoid tolls, ferries, highways, and other obstacles when rerouting. It should also let us avoid railroad crossings. Sometimes a train is passing and traffic comes to a complete stop, but there’s no quick way to reroute around all crossings.

Move avoid highways option to menu
As someone who owns both a car and a motorcycle, I toggle The avoid highways navigation option back and forth all the time. It's currently buried about 3 or 4 menus down. Love to have that moved to the top menu for ease of use.

Android auto - missing setting
Om android auto user interface there is no posibility on change route option: "avoid/not avoid toll roads"
Very interesting because when you are driving maybe you want to change it easily.
30 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
Android Auto Proected is a major focus for us in this year, and we encourage you to read more about it in the Android Auto forum for updates and latest releases.

Suppress lane guidance announcement when turning lane is a single lane
Currently, on intersections with Lane Guidance mapped, for TTS voices, Waze announces the number of lanes that turn. For example, "Use the right 2 lanes to turn right".
My suggestion is that if there is only a single lane in the rightmost or leftmost position to perform the turn maneuver (whether it's a Keep, Exit, Turn, or U-Turn), Waze do not announce the "Use the right lane to turn right", or the "Use the left lane to turn left". If there are more lanes or more complex maneuvers, Waze keeps the lane announcments.
There are two benefits:
1) This shortens…13 votes -
Please add bus lanes operational hours for London sometimes as anytime or with poor design by local authorities to trap drivers
Dear Sirs,
Please add bus lanes operational hours for London, sometimes they are set as any time or with poor design by local authorities to trap drivers and be served with contravention.No pre-warning, no standard design with decent ergonomically signs to serve the day driving and night driving.Would be a great assistance to get warned before bus lane and flagged all along of the bus lane so drivers can drive adequately or pull out of bus lane if missed to change the lane.
Best wishes,

Toll and HOV passes should NOT be mandatory!
I found out, that of you ommit to MANUALLY add Vignette/Toll pass/HOV pass, your navigation will be put into "Avoid highways" mode. It is a bit frustrating for all who travel a lot abroad to manually add highway passes/Vignettes for each and every highway portion we intend to drive.
My suggestion is Waze should INFORM you for needed Vignette, and you should be able to either IGNORE this (still navigating higways) or to simply (one -click) ADD needed vignette to list of passes you own. That way it would be unser-friendly. For now, when process is manual and…3 votes -

"Express" Hazard Reporting
Love Waze, but I don't like how many actual touches are required to report a hazard. The more time it takes to report a hazard, the more time your eyes are not watching the road. Also, the most common hazard I see is a car stopped on the shoulder. I'd like a two-touch way of reporting this. If the report menu could be customizable to include a "quick report" option for the most common hazard a driver encounters, this would be a solution.
20 votesYou can long tap or swipe up the Report button to bring up the most common reports – saves a click. Also, consider voice reporting!

Option to avoid C area roads in Israel
When I drive in Israel I plan my route in order to avoid crossing a checkpoint and c areas. Sometimes, waze automatically changes my route in order to avoid traffic making me drive in certain areas I’m not willing to. Adding an option to avoid those roads as well as A and B areas can be helpful.
