Wait times for metered on ramps
When On ramps are metered there can develop a very long queue to enter a freeway this should be considered in route calculations, but it doesn't seem to be. The navigation has you turning on to a street that had an on ramp to a freeway that is backed up several blocks beyond where you made your turn onto the street. The result is you cannot merge into the lane that allows you access to the on ramp.

Allow Preference for Open Road Tolling (no more "Exit Cash Lanes" directions)
I'm getting very tired of being told to "Exit to Cash Lanes" only to be navigated right back onto the same tollway. Best I can figure, Waze is trying to avoid you getting a ticket for driving through open road tolling areas (at least here in northern Illinois on I-294) by telling you to exit to cash lanes, but there should be an option to tell Waze you have a transponder and are good to go for open road tolling (and the app will stop telling you to exit at every open road tolling area).
The problem with…

"Always Avoid This Intersection"
Waze needs an "Always Avoid This Intersection" feature.
Waze consistently routes me to turn left at a traffic light at an intersection that has 6 lanes of traffic merging into a single lane to get on to a freeway which is also controlled by a traffic light. The congestion there is ALWAYS terrible and easily adds 20 minutes to my commute. Users with local knowledge should be able to specify intersections to avoid at all times. This "avoid list" would be user specific, thereby allowing each user to maintain it (add/delete intersections) as necessary.3 votes -
Use Waze to help fight traffic by including tips encouraging the Zipper Merge (merging every other car), not rubber necking, etc.
It seems like a lot of people don't know how to merge. So you're forced to wait for a gap or force your way into a lane. Waze could be very helpful to build better driving habits. These tips could be sent via message or when the app is opened.

Add road closures that happen at specific times
For example, there’s a road on one of my regular routes that is currently undergoing construction and it’s a 2 lane highway so in order to work on it properly without traffic interference, they close the road between the hours of 10pm-5am Mon-fri. I noticed there is no option to report closures with a specific time frame which kind of sucks. I think it would be beneficial to add this feature as I know of quite a few other roads or ramps that close only at specific times.

TAKE OUT POLICE REPORTED AHEAD.
Police reports makes the drivers alert at that short particular moment. Especially those inconsiderate drivers who drives near the divider fast and cut in to the other lane opposite to what they used to speed forward. This MAKES THE JAM WORSE! INCONSIDERATE DRIVERS SHOULD BE PUNISHED SO THAT THEY LEARN.

Add back the ability to simply tap at the top to see a direction list
In the latest release, the ability to tap at the top (where the next turn is) and see the direction list is no longer there. This is the only reason that I used Waze over other tools is that it allowed me to quickly see a list of directions. The use case for this is that if I'm turning left, I also need to know what the next turn is so I can get in the correct turning lane. If this is not added back, I will have no reason to use Waze.

Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

Routing Error
I live on Park Lane in Jamaica Plain, MA. It is a short dead end street. We get many dozens of cars turning onto it every day thinking they are turning onto Peter Parley, which is cut through. They discover it is a dead end after they are midway down, they turn around with difficulty then often speed back up the street angrily. Our street has quite a few young kids living here often playing in the street. These fast drivers present a real hazard.
People who have stopped to talk to us about it report that as they are…

Problem with Waze directions.
People are trespassing on my property saying Waze is directing them there, They are trying to get to trails in Horsepen Run in Sterling VA.20165 The only access is to turn North at the Algonkian Parkway and Westmoreland Drive intersection. There is no public access permitted on Askegren's Lane. It is my private driveway. Thanks

navigation update
This application needs a closer accurate navigation were you are driving and show more patterns in the lane instead of the purple line covering the whole track when traveling. Last one I want to suggest is make a new option of someone wants to avoid highways and drive only on normal roads.

Big truck on side of the road.
Hello, would you consider: an option for "Big Truck" stopped on the shoulder? As someone who drives a commercial motor vehicle over a 130,000 miles a year, I can tell you that the majority of cars on the shoulder are abandoned whereas the majority of big trucks on the shoulder are broken down and or getting service at the time and there's usually a human being somewhere walking in and out of the highway at the truck is being repaired. With a little bit of notice, people will typically move over one lane to the left to allow room for…

Make it Easy to Report False Reports
Please make it easy for us to flag false reports, we are seeing dozens of "Major Crashes" each day in Nebraska, mainly Omaha, that are totally False.
An "crash" tonight on I-80 WB between exit 449 and 448 was a simple disabled vehicle with a flat left tire, OPD was blocking a lane so the driver could safely make the tire change. Fix this. Your app's credibility sucks.

Entrance to GWB from Riverside Dr South in NYC, dangerous directions.
This entrance puts you in the left lanes of 6 lanes of ferocious traffic. Waze always recommends the Lower Level, which is the rightmost 2 lanes, and would require crossing several lanes of traffic in a very short distance - very dangerous. Waze should recommend the Upper Level which is directly ahead and requires no lane change. People not familiar with the area may attempt to follow the Lower Level directions which would lead to hazardous driving.

Voice Equalities Across Genders and Countries
Right now, different voices and languages have different hidden features - like calling out segment length, different distances, street names, lane separation and so on. There's no reason for this discrimination. You should have all of the features available on all of the voices and have them toggle able.
So, for example, all male voices should have the option to speak Street Names. Also, ALL voices should count more Distances. It's ridiculous that a turn within 100m will be called out as 400m ahead, it's confusing and could cause a ruckus on the road.

Speed limit sometimes covers current speed
Currently when I rapidly accelerate, like when passing on a 2 lane road, the speedlimit box becomes larger and covers my current speed indicator. And this is usually when I need to know my current speed the most! Please put an option to disable this behavior. I want to keep current speed limit and current speed on screen at all times, do not make the speedlimit cover up my current speed at any time.
Thank you.
