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.

Reminder that Avoid Motorways is switched on
Some users will only turn on Avoid Motorways for a particular journey or day of travel, and afterwards the user would prefer to use motorways again.
The time difference between a motorway and non-motorway journey is usually significant, and so when the app is reopened and Avoid Motorways is still switched on, it would be useful to have a reminder, for example: "these routes are avoiding motorways - the fastest route using motorways is 54 minutes shorter", with a "use Motorways" and an "avoid motorways" button, and a checkbox for "Don't show this reminder again" for those users…

To have an option to avoid Interstate Highways.
Add an option that just avoids Interstate Highways, example any highway with an I in front of it. I40, I16, etc. Avoid Freeways avoids other roads other than interstate highways.

Allow Local Passes (like current HOV/Toll Passes) for Access to Private Neighborhood Gates & Other Restricted Routes
Currently waze will avoid these gated routes when routing even though some users may have access. Instead, waze should allow local passes (much like the current HOV and Toll Passes) so users with access can add a local pass in app and the app will then know it can route that user through the restricted gate or road.
See full example at:

Avoid low emissions zones button
An avoid low emissions zones button would be helpful for the drivers of pre 2016 non euro 6 diesel vehicles.
I intend to visit Edinburgh and Dundee in the summer both of which have low emissions zones. For me Birmingham and Bristol low emissions zones also need to be avoided.3 votes -
Tolls
Implementation of the toll rates!
Automatically calculates the price at an entry naviguation when using highway and toll! Updated by other wazers (like gas stations).
Gives the amount of travel when using a motorway!
Way, each Wazer can prepare his way in better conditions and to know your expenses during his journey.
Good luck to you
27 votesThank 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

Change the colour of the road when there is at least one toll road in the trip
Sometimes you don't remember the status of the "avoid toll roads" option. I've seen that the toll road option is about to be moved on the main screen. That's great but I think it's not enough if you miss that configuration screen.
Indeed, when you start Waze while you are already running you just want to keep your eyes on the road instead in the Waze configuration.That's why I think that Waze could allow the wazer to set a custom colour for routes that use toll roads (for example red instead of blue) in the navigation menu.

Make option to avoid international borders
Drove from Boston to Michigan and the app continuously tried rerouting us through Canada to save time! Please add an option to avoid international borders so we don't have to worry about being sent through another country if traffic builds ahead.

Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Hello Google Maps/Apple Maps/Waze Team,
I would like to propose a very important routing feature that is currently missing from all major navigation apps:
📌 Feature: Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Users should be able to select one or more countries they do NOT want to enter during navigation.
Similar to “Avoid highways” or “Avoid tolls,” but for entire countries.Why this feature matters:
In many regions (especially the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Middle East, etc.), some users are not allowed to enter certain countries due to political restrictions, documentation issues, or border regulations.
Currently:

Closed off Lanes.
Hello again Waze,
I believe another useful feature would be an easy way to indicate to other drivers where a Lane (of a road) has been closed off (in addition to the ability to highlight ‘Roadworks’).
This would greatly assist other drivers who are stuck further back in a queue, in deducing what is causing a traffic holdup ahead.Best Rgrds,

Add option to avoid passenger vehicle only roads

Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)
Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.
So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a…

Avoid asphalt
Avoid long asphalt.
For overlanding and discovering countryside route on smaller roads, preferably gralvel. Aka take the Scenic route.
There is no such navigation app nor functionality on gps devices.
A nice bonus would be a choice, slider: how much longer in time or distance am I willing to drive more then the direct route.1 vote -
Distance to overtaking lane
On australian highways we have overtaking lanes at various distances along the road. It would be nice to know the distance to the next overtaking lane to allow people to wait instead of making risky overtaking moves when the next overtaking lane is only 1km away

Maps updates (more frequently)
Hello,
I would like to ask why the maps are not updated more frequently? In metro Atlanta, they have added new toll lanes on I-75. Those routes have not been added and when we are using those lanes using Waze they are very confusing with all the nonsense directions we hear. These new toll lanes were added a year ago, and as of today in 2020, no updates yet!! Thank you for listening to my request

When entering a route that has HOV lanes, it would be helpful if Waze asked how many occupants are in the vehicle. 1, 2, 3+ & direct if appl
When entering a route that has HOV lanes, it would be helpful if Waze asked how many occupants are in the vehicle. 1, 2, 3+ And utilize the HOV lane where applicable.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.
