Route Planning
I ride a motorcycle and prefer to create my own routes and then follow them via my GPS. It would be awesome if Waze afforded me the ability to create the map and then download it to be followed with Waze on my phone

Route suggestion is wrong
Time calculated for closest route between São José dos Campos-SP from Ilhabela-SP is wrong. I did it in half the time! What is going on? The suggested option was much longer and timely. I ignored because I knew it was NOT the best option.

A new route suggestion
I would like to have a route suggestion that is "no traffic and no stop lights".
I'm driving a stick (manual car) and prefer to drive longer but to be "on the move" rather than get there faster sitting in traffic or stop lights.1 vote -

Suggest a faster route with Vignettes/passes
This happens very often: You plan a trip. It should take e.g. 12 hours using highways.
Then you open Waze and forget to add the pass/Vignette. The Waze offers you a route. You glance at it and don't see it is taking back roads on the overview, so you accept it and start driving...
After 10/12 hours you realize you are only halfway there and you won't arrive to your accomodation on time (happens more than you'd think)... what happened? Waze didn't prompt you to add the pass/Vignette for a faster route.
Yes, I have the option to…
2 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Show accident location on your route summary page.
When I have defined where to go, Waze calculates it and then shows a summary with (different levels of) traffic on the route but only shows an icon that an accident occured on the route. unfortunately it does not indicate where that accident occured on the route. why?
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Road closure re-route
Hi WaZE,
This app is wonderful. One question. When there is a road block or closure due to a march ,etc., why does the app not reroute you around it? Use other streets to get to the destination. It continues to lead you right back.
Can't you block that location and add that command in that program and the streets are opened again release it with another command?

Increase the contrast / Change colors at the top + Larger alert when route changes
A couple of times I missed the change of route because the alert it too minimal. I drive with no waze sound, so I do not hear the change. I think this is a critical improvement because of the time you can loose when you miss the change. Thanks!

Route by average speed
Sometimes the app suggests a route with a shorter total time, but with a much greater distance than the other options. For example: 5 minutes less with 10km more. Therefore, I suggest showing the average speed (Distance/Time) of each option.

‘Zoom in to issue’ from route overview
The ‘route overview/timeline’ is good but it doesn't let you understand what the issues on your route are in any detail just has the logos eg 3 traffic, a broken down car and police
Can I click on the issues to quickly zoom to an overview of that area so I know where those police are, what kinda traffic disruption it is.
Sometimes these are normal eg the traffic at those temp lights. Other times it could be I big deal eg the beginnings of an unplanned closure and diversion.
Currently if planing a long drive I would have…

Route time and distance colors
Id like to have the time and distance displayed change color based on the upcoming reported traffic on your route. i.e. red if heavy traffic, orange if moderate, or green if normal flow.

RED ROUTE INDICATED IN MAP VIEW
An added feature could be to include Red routes, when my phone rings, I often pull over when safe to do so, sometimes its not obvious that the car is on a red route so stopping is prohibited, it be good to look and check my Waze to see may be a thin red line on the map that indicates a red route,
I came off a red route onto a round about and joined another road it was not obvious to me that the road I joined which has many parked up lorries overnight had become a…1 vote -
Update regarding Route options distraction
The update changed the route option icon to the bottom right corner instead of the top left. It is not user-friendly in the bottom right when you’re driving and there’s other icons around and you’re trying to click on it and not be distracted. PLEASE change back to top left the icons there aren’t important enough

It would be nice if Waze could set a route around police patrols.

"Multi-Stop Route Support for Delivery Drivers and Professionals"
I suggest adding a feature to Waze that allows users to input multiple addresses (e.g., 10 or more, as many as the user needs) and get the most optimal route connecting all those points. Currently, Waze only supports adding one intermediate stop, which isn’t enough for delivery drivers or people who need to navigate between several destinations in a day, like within a city. For example, a delivery person could enter 10 different addresses in advance, and Waze would calculate the fastest and most efficient route to visit them all.
Why is this important?Saves time and money for delivery drivers…4 votes -
Enhancement request: Fresh or Stale route
t would be great if there was a way to know how fresh or stale the data is on your route relative to number of Waze users who have driven it.
Sometimes you wonder if there is another waze user even on the route you are driving, so you know reports would be non-existent.
Maybe an indicator to show:
Red: no users driven this road in last XX minutes.
Yellow: XX users drove this road in last XX minutes
Green: Waze users taking over the earth by using this route!I realize it would another layer of complexity to…

Options to "dislike "a route or intersection
Traffic has been so bad lately, but I feel like Waze is trying to come up with creative routes to get me to work. Unfortunately, they often end up adding 20 to 30 minutes on top of my normal commute time. I wish there was a way to "dislike "a navigation route, especially when it has added so much unnecessary time. It would be great to also "dislike" certain intersections that are difficult to cross, or less safe to turn onto.

Parking route
It would be great if, once you arrive near your destination, Waze could guide you through nearby areas with available parking. The app should take you on circular routes that always bring you back to your arrival point, dynamically adjusting the path if necessary.
Imagine a city with a grid layout of intersections:
You arrive at point A and select an option from a pop-up indicating that you need to find parking. Waze directs you to take a loop around the block to the upper left, bringing you back to point A. If no parking is found, the app…

In route notifications
Please, DO NOT INTERRUPT my drive route with notifications wanting to sign on through Google or my email OR wanting to know if I am riding or driving it is VERY DANGEROUS!! The app is FORCING me to take my eyes off the road to deal with a bunch of STUPID unnecessary notifications. If it happens again I will be deleting this app and not using it again!
