Differentiate between toll roads and toll bridges
I drive solo in Seattle. I have three options into Seattle from the North: - I -405 (with a toll bridge - 525- across the lake) or 1-405 (with a non toll bridge - via 1-90) and then I-5 with no tolls at all.
Can we have an option for WAZ to differentiate between toll roads and toll bridges - this is because I can still drive the "regular" road on the 1-405 and then take the toll bridge (525) into Seattle, but I don't want WAZ to figure the time for the HOV/T lane...aaaaagh, does that make any…

Display bridges on top instead of higher road type
Currently in the app if a bridge goes over a higher road type, it makes it seem the higher road type actually goes over the bridge. This should not be correct as it makes the map look incorrect. A segment that has been mapped as a higher elevation should be displayed above any other segment.
Example for this interchange:
Instead of this: https://i.imgur.com/WhRYooz.jpg
It should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/Gf6BI31.jpg18 votes -
Bridges

UK Railway Network LOW Bridges Add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach
UK Railway Networks has 100s of LOW Bridges across UK. Please add Visual and Audible Warnings on approach and give drivers an option to AVOID low bridges. i.e. ask height of vehicle and suggest alternative routes avoiding low bridges. I am happy to help to source a list of all Low Bridges on UK Rail Network.
Every year in Britain there are about 2,000 bridge strikes, where road vehicles hit railway bridges and viaducts – that's an average of more than five every day. Each incident can cause hours of delays for tens of thousands…

tolls
There is a difference between express lane tolls and bridge tolls. Can you separate the two when it comes to avoiding tolls. If you set it to avoid tolls, it will avoid both express lane and bridge tolls. If you need to drive across a bridge, it will send you many, many miles around to avoid the bridge toll, when you really only want to avoid the express lane tolls.

police alert when they take pictures from a bridge
In my country we have police officers standing on bridges and take photos of ppl on their phones while driving.
An option to report and alert other drivers will make the driver stop being on their phone faster.2 votes -
Express Lanes - Avoid Express Lanes option
A nice feature would be a setting to avoid Express Lanes, like the ones on I95 (I-95) that require the EZ-Pass. Currently the only way to do this is to enable "Avoid Toll Roads." However this makes my route avoid the tunnel or bridge that I DO want to use. Avoiding the tunnel or bridge would add 20 or more minutes to my drive.
Basically, separate out the luxury Express Lanes from toll roads and create another setting for them.
Thank you.49 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.

Calculate total tolls for each route option
Some tolls are very high, others reasonable. Now I can only see if there are tolls or not, but not to decide on a reasonable toll road.
In NY, this can be as much as $13 (George Washington Bridge) and $1.50 (Henry Hudson), for example.

Lift/Swing Bridges
Hamilton/Burlington Ontario, & Niagara Peninsula
We have two roads that pass traffic from Burlington to Hamilton that do not force traffic to be route around the Hamilton Harbour. These roads travel on a isthmus with a water route to pass ships from Lake Ontario into Hamilton Harbour.
The QEW has a high level bridge that goes up and over this waterway
Eastport Drive and Lakeshore Road, come together to cross over the waterway via a lift bridge. This lift bridge could be up for 20+ minutes to pass ship traffic in and out of Hamilton Harbour
This is a…

Make Waze more useful for buses and trucks
Make Waze more useful for buses and trucks. So i can choose that i drive one of those vehicles and not just between only a car, taxi or motorcycle. And can specify how tall the vehicle is. And Waze then navigates you so that you arrive without suddenly arriving at a bridge that is too low, for example

Please add rail traffic at grade crossings. Connected to USDOT FRA or community.
Data should be included either from the community or Federal Railroad Administration on wait times on rail road crossings.
Also if Bridge\ship traffic impedes auto traffic it should be displayed.

Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
There should be an option to apply the above choice across the whole route to the destination or state by state or highway by highway.
For hazards and police, the “Still there” and “ Not there” choice is available only for a short period of time. It’s only after passing the location that one knows whether it is still there or not.
Generally graphics are poor: the icons for road hazard, police, construction are not intuitive. The graphics of car icons…3 votes -
Additional hazard icons
Add "Truck" as an additional hazard icon. I just saw an 18 wheeler last night entering the entrance to the North Bronx River Parkway just 100 feet from going under a low bridge.
