When we're rerouted to avoid congestion it would really be helpful to get a brief reason.
When Waze reroutes us to avoid congestion, it would be very helpful if it could briefly announce "rerouting due to congestion" or words to that effect so we'll know that the apparently strange new route isn't the result of an inadvertent electronic "hiccup."

During the pandemic, routes should avoid passing close to hospitals.
I think that during the pandemic, routes should avoid passing close to hospitals.
We must leave those areas free for the care of those in need and we also avoid any contagious contact.1 vote -

Speed camera toggle
Please give us a avoid speed camera reroute toggle similar to toll ways. Seems like your app keeps routing us into cameras by default. These are bad unhealthy unsafe driving conditions in high traffic areas that I would prefer to avoid and go around.

Lane guidance colour
The current lane guidance in Android Auto is shown such that the 1st line shows the upcoming lanes to take, and the 2nd line shows the next (i.e. then) guidance. Instead of taking up two lines, which takes up space, colour the most appropriate lane (s) in a different colour (green), and the least best lane in another colour (amber). For eg, if the upcoming highway exit is 3 lanes to the right, but the final edit is only the right most lane, colour the 3 arrows such that the right most is green, and the two other arrows in…

Toll road prices
Sydney driver, tolls are crazy here depending where you're going. Maybe an option of route at the start. Route A - 34 mins $9, Route B 39 mins $2 etc. Would make a huge difference on commutes everyday of the week.
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

Names assigned recently for some existing public lanes by East York council in Toronto
I'm a collge journalist student. On September 16, 2019 the council approved to add names of people and other historical aspects of Toronto to some existing public lanes for people to easily navigate to and had 2 street closures..
I'll add the info here for the update but in return I would appreciate a quote for my article which really will help me graduate since I'm in my final year.
What is the process of getting you navigation system updated and how long will it take?
This is from the offical government website and each change has its own PDF…

Flag when route contains tolls
Yesterday I was going from Kfar Saba to Tel Aviv in the morning and the route ended costing me over a 150 NIS.
I often use Waze and trust it so I put in the address and followed the route. At some point I realized that it was taking me to Road 6 (which I didn't want to take because I am with a rental car at the moment and they charge extra) it was too late to turn back at that point so I proceeded. Only to discover that the route was now taking me to the fast lane…

Make switching avoid highways on/off easier
Often times during my commute I need to know if it's quicker to continue using highways or go local. Currently this means navigating several sub-menus which is distracting, dangerous and sometimes impossible. It would be nice to have a quick option on the home screen so you can compare the ETAs and routes for both highway and local

Enhance Route Planning with Flexible Toll/Vignette Options and Reminder Features
Introducing customizable toll and vignette options, along with reminder settings for expirations and automatic removal of expired passes, would greatly improve user satisfaction and navigation accuracy.
Many countries offer various toll and vignette options based on different time durations (e.g., 1 day, 10 days, 1 month). By allowing users to select these flexible options in Waze, navigation would cater to their specific travel plans, preventing unnecessary detours away from toll roads or vignettes.
Additionally, incorporating a reminder feature would enable users to set alerts for upcoming toll and vignette expirations (e.g., 1, 2, 3, or 7 days in advance). This…

Adding Traffic signals to the map or giving the option to avoid signals or not
Will there ever be an update that gives you the option to avoid traffic signals or not or possibly show traffic signals on the map? Many times in order to save time. It routes me to a block with no traffic signal at forces me to make a left onto a busy intersection, which sometimes is very dangerous. I’d much rather wait at a traffic light which I end up having to do anyway, in order to make the left when the traffic stops.

Better option with toll roads and highways.
Countries in Europe that have toll roads and Highways which are privatised have a bill which can come every three months and these bills are enormous sometimes, it's hard to understand in Italy for example how much it will cost to use a section of the highway not all of it to reduce some time and pay less. It should be an option to see how much it could cost to use different sections when getting routes that way I can decide and make a compromise between fastest route and the amount of money it costs. Often in Italy not…

Avoid car only roads
Sometimes a car is towing a trailer and they're not allowed on the same roads as only cars. It would be nice to be able to hit a button and not have to worry about driving down a road you're not allowed to be on.

This-trip-only Navigation Preferences or Warning When Any "Avoid" Option is On
Occasionally a given trip requires selecting "Avoid" options within Navigation Preferences. However, it's easy to forget those options were set, resulting in a convoluted and potentially time-consuming routing the next time Waze is used for a different destination. Suggestion is to provide an upfront Navigation Preferences option for "this trip only" when setting up the trip or when a trip is selected from favorites. An alternate approach to this issue is that whenever a future trip is defined, via favorites, new trip or past trip, the user is alerted if any Navigation "Avoid" settings are ON.
