Show All Alternate Route Information and Make It Easier to See and Select While Driving
When driving on a route, Waze lets you select alternate routes. However, there is not enough information given to make an informed choice.
Examples:
A) Waze may suggest a different freeway than the one you're currently on, but to get to that freeway you may be routed on side streets. You know that the traffic on the side streets is not accurately reported by Waze and are busy at that time of day and so you would avoid that route if you knew Waze would route you that way.B) Waze senses that traffic is getting worse…

Give a vulnerable population route
Sometimes you’re navigating in an unfamiliar area and you don’t want the fastest, rather you want the most populated route. I’m thinking, if you’re with small children, or if you are black/LGBTQ/etc. in an inhospitable, mainstream culture area, women driving at night, etc.

Waze should consider the vehicle size when advising a route, keeping high and large into account
Waze should consider the vehicle size when advising a route, keeping high and large into account
It happened several times to me that waze pushed me into a street too small for my vehicle, worst going backwards was nearly impossible because of the other cars in my back. I am not even talking about the funnel I was pushed in with a challenge to get out.
Also, not later than 2 days ago, i was advised à route with a bridge high limited to 2.00m ... so no way for me to go there. I was forced a détour…

Account for (sporting, concert) events along the route when calculating ETA for planned drives
If you need to be somewhere at a certain time, but there is a sporting event along the way, there will be a lot of event traffic just before & just after the event. Waze could account for this traffic when calculating a planned drive. Then, based on historic data for such an event, Waze could either plan a route that avoids the traffic or it could show the ETA so you could drive past the venue during the event. Alternatively, you could know how early before or how late after the event you should leave to avoid the huge…

Ability to declare a suggested route bad
Sometimes Waze suggests routes that are so bad as to be cringe worthy. It would be nice to to be able to report them for review.

Route planning for group pleasure drives
I have been using waze for a long time now but recently had to install G maps for a planned group drive round the Peak District. Lucky I had my hand held radio as maps was totally useless, but does let a multi stop planned route be shared with everyone, even if I found it unusable.
Can waze please add this feature so the drivers who drive for the fun and enjoyment with others can do so simply and easily? Preferred route selection stop to stop that's entered by the creator and fixed for client?
Could even add the other…

Distracted driver risk score route recommendation. Waze always picks the shortest route based on time
I routinely will disregard the Waze route recommendation and will take less traveled roads because I hate to have to rely on other drivers being always aware of their surroundings. I want Waze to recommend the less stressful route as an option. I trust my driving but I stress out with other drivers and will take side streets and leave the highway just to have a "safer" drive. I try to avoid backups on freeways as this contributes to the potential accident due to distracted drivers.

IOS app crashes at route decision points
The Waze iPhone app window disappears completely whenever I’m at an important turning point in my route. It seems to happen at the moment when I would have expected the voice message to “Turn Right, Then Keep Left to stay on Route 22”.
I can restart the app and Resume my trip. After I get back on the right road, that is.
This is getting to the Uninstall level of annoyance.

While traveling, user should be able to search for a Point of Interest such as "Starbucks" and save it as route POI. the app should display
While traveling or entering a navigation route, the user should be able to search for a Point of Interest (POI) such as "Starbucks" and save it as route POI. The app should display all "Starbucks" locations on the route with the option to add one or more POIs as a new stop. the POI will remain active until navigation is stopper or user reached destination

Stop giving me only OK to select new route, need a NO option
Stop giving me only OK to select new route, Give me a NO option to leave route as is.
Sometimes the original route is the better route or I have a route I want to use and do not want to change it.
Waze gives only one option and that is to say OK. We need a NO button as well to use.1 vote -
Mark cyclists on the planned route
It would be good to have marked the number of cyclists on the route that I can still meet. Or marked on the map where the following cyclist is riding along my route.
In practice, a cyclist would turn on the application and ride without a plan, or with a plan, marking where he is moving. The driver should be aware that there may be an obstacle on the way.Thank you for thinking about it.

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.4 votes -
Too many detours off the route and then right back to the same route
We were driving last night using the app and numerous times it wanted us to exit, make 8 or so turns and return to the same route! Very distracting and it was late!

Add ability to plan a route or loop and choose roads for planned rides that you can save and share.
Sometimes people like to take a road trip for fun. Such as a group of motorcycles.
It would be nice to be able to pre-plan a ride that includes several different/chosen roads, that will eventually bring you back home or to the starting point. Like a loop.
If you could drag and move the route on the map, while planning it, it would be easier to add points of interest along the way. Plus more than one stop per route would be great!
Routing from point A to B is very good, but the ability to customize and save your …

PLEASE allow disabling of route numbers. We don’t use route numbers in Australia and it literally will not let me see what street to turn at
No one knows the route numbers that have been randomly assigned to various roads in Melbourne. People don’t even use the route numbers of major freeways unless they’re a foreigner. It’s infuriating that in order to know which road a suggested route is wanting me to turn at I need to either recognise the geography or Google the route number.
