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.

Waze should be able to warn you of traffic on the planned route ahead before getting into traffic.

Automatically resume current route if/when android auto reconnects
For some reason waze seems to disconnect or reload on Android Auto when I'm changing apps on my phone. This causes Waze to stop the current route I'm on and then asks me if I would like to resume the route. I would prefer if it just automatically resumes the route and I can stop it if need be.

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!

Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event
Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.
Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze…

Waze on android auto route issue
The recent update on waze for Android auto no longer lets me choose which location after I voice command a destination. If I say, "take me to AutoZone" and I'm 5 miles from one it often just starts my route to one in a completely different city. I've even had it route me to a different state! Before it would give me a list of places that matched that name and I got to pick. Also, my route history now shows up on boot on Android auto. I drive for work a lot and it is not my passengers' business…

Bouton route barré non signalé
Lorsque une route est barré et que waze n'a pas été avisé, on devrait avoir un bouton pour demander un nouvel itinéraire et non se faire remettre sur le même itinéraire sans arrêt.

If there’s a road closure acknowledge it and recalculate a route
I get that you need several people to confirm theres an actual road closure but if I am the first there and I need an alternative route, it keeps sending me back to the closed road.

Include on-route traffic flow and incidents to "Your trip" screen and traffic delay to ETA.
Upon click on the ETA box on the bottom a "Your trip" screen pops up and shows route details. Please include traffic flow and incidents that lay on the route ahead (just like one can see it when the 3 alternative routes are presented. Also it would be great to show the traffic delay on the current route next to the ETA on the main map.

"This route avoids tolls" when avoid-tolls option is on.
Suggestion: A note that "This route avoids tolls" when avoid-tolls option is on.
We (and others too) had that we were taking a much longer route (more than 40 minutes extra!) because we didn't realize that avoid-tolls is on...
Thanks so much!

Trucker Route Option

Add "HIGHWAY FIRST" to route preference
When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.
I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even…

Import multiple addresses to allow for best route from the beginning address back to the same ending address Like Microsoft streets and trips
5 votesThank you for this suggestion.
This idea has been being discussed for a while and recognized as an important user request.
We hear the community’s voice and would like to share that while we can’t currently commit to a timeline, we do have plans to create a way to add more than one stop pre-drive.
We’ll keep the community posted, please stay tuned! -
checking for new routes easier with button on map screen. Long routes need driver to manually check for new route.
For long commutes the traffic changes and the app won't update with a new route. I check for a new route 4-5 time during my morning commute as traffic changes, but the app lags calculating change for commutes to work.

Reducing the number of wrong route choices in Waze search
waze needs to add an option checkbox in case the rider encounters the wrong route choice while traveling the route indicated by the Waze search. Waze can determine the wrong route for removal. Deletion based on a large percentage of the number of checkboxes ticked by the rider.

Add favorites to a route
When I go on long trips, I enjoy stopping at rest areas, but I have no clue where they are or when they'll appear. I've ended up at a sketchy gas station, only to discover a rest area just 2 miles ahead. I also like pulling over at specific restaurant chains, but again, I don't know their locations. It would be awesome to add favorites to a route so the app tracks the distance to the nearest Chick-fil-A or Buc-ee's, then resets after you pass it to show the next one. This feature would be a game-changer.
