Rettungsgasse / Rescue Lane - Reminder while traffic jams
In Germany and most European countries, you are supposed to form a rescue lane whilst being in a traffic jam on a highway/Autobahn.
This emergency corridor is always between the very left lane and the one next to her, so all cars need to move to the very left / very right on those lanes, making enough space to let emergency vehicles through.
After several incidents where people died after emergency services being stuck in the traffic jam, the German government wants to increase the sentence on ppl not making space for the rescue lane.My Suggestion:

Give the option on "Avoid Freeways" to be temporary for just the next trip
I only have one place that I go where I want to avoid freeways, so once I turn it on, I have to remember to turn it off after I get back home, which I usually forget. Maybe have the option to be on or temporary on.

Ability to enter when a lane is closed due or a turn is temporarily blocked
Need the ability to identify temporary lane closures as well as temporary turn prevention due to any activity. I have experienced this a number of times where a lane is closed off for some type of activity but Waze doesn’t allow me to report it to x pet for saying Construction on road when it isn’t always construction. Sometimes lanes are closed temporarily for events being held in the streets or even a right turn isn’t allowed because of road closures or other work being performed.

Contribution to avoid multiple accidents and make Waze a more important tool
The central idea is to interface a two-way communication between the application and the car's computer (this makes it easier when the vehicle has an integrated screen, which would allow Waze to access vehicle information. All this information is impulse electronics that activate lights, warnings or any device to generate corrections, low pressure in the tires, lack of fuel, defect in some mechanical part, etc. Etc. etc. the idea that is waze read them and interpret them as warnings, in this In this sense, the human time to carry out or interpret an emergency is reduced, this could generate an…

Tracking stop signs and stop lights
In addition to "Difficult intersection" it would be very handy for two features:
1) Waze's map to record if there are stop signs (2, 4 way), and lights at an intersection. This would (hopefully) include separate turn signals; some intersections are VERY difficult to turn left at even with a light, for example.2) A setting for navigation (in the app) for "Avoid unguarded turns/intersections". This would then allow a driver to NOT have to turn left across 6 lanes of traffic, for example, as the app would know there was no light at that crossing (or even going…

lane assist
I hope Waze can roll out more lane assist features same as Google maps. This still lacking and during usage many lane assist not available at multiple lanes. Also during or about turning into lane the white arrow can blink to notify the driver if possible. Many thanks

Stop the app suggesting a "better" route during a drive if it'd require a sudden change of lanes/direction
I've just dealt with a user report complaining that their app will sometimes suddenly change the route as they're approaching a major junction, and in order to follow the new route would require a late and potentially dangerous change of lanes.
Given we now have lane guidance and lane count details available in the map data, it should be feasible to work out when it might be a really crazy idea to be telling the user to start following a different route to the one they're currently on, due to the need to make a sudden change of lanes…

Toggle navigation options in route
When already in navigation, and pulling up to see the route options... You should be able to toggle the navigation options, say, in a secondary section below the different routes available.
Examples:
- avoid freeways
- avoid ferries
- avoid toll roads
- etcThat way, you don’t have to go into Th e overall settings of the entire app. The setting stay as default, but the options you toggle are for that specific navigation in progress.
I sometimes want backroads, or whatever. And I don’t want to change the “entire app“ setting. Just that one time. Flexible. I can…

Showing lane signs even without navigation
Sometimes you drive without navigation and reach an intersection where some of the lanes go in different directions, and because of the road conditions the signs are hidden and it is impossible to understand which lane to choose.
It would be useful if the directions of travel in each lane were displayed on the screen, as there is during navigation but without highlighting any lane.3 votes -
Avoid Following a School Bus
It is always painful for drivers to catch and then follow a school bus for all its stops. Especially in cities, where it can result into big traffic jams. Can Waze partner with the school districts to provide live GPS data of school buses? It will be very beneficial if Waze can alert drivers about a school bus on their route, and give them an option to detour. This will save lots of time for drivers, and make it safer for the school buses because of less traffic.

Road Avoidance
A way to tell Waze to avoid certain roads in the app, similar to tolls etc. but any road of my choosing.
I sometimes drive vehicles that can’t go down some roads and it would be really useful to be able to tell the app to never navigate me down roads I tell it not too.7 votes -
"global entry"
Add Global Entry as an HOV option.
Global Entry is the US Trusted Traveler program that allows the traveler to cross the border under expedited scheme. NEXUS program currently available as an HOV option allows the user to travel through special lanes available on US/Canada border.
These lanes while traveling from Canada to the US also allows the holder of the Global Entry to enter the US through NEXUS lanes.
Similar is available for SENTRI lanes from Mexico to US.

Waze is a good app, but as a truck driver, it does not offer the option for commercial vehicles to avoid low bridges or parkways. If this feature was added, it would make the app more useful for everyone. I would like to see this capability added and updated in Waze.

Calculate tolls for each route.
In many countries, tolls have a substantial price difference depending on the hour of the day, and toll-less routes are often just terribly crowded. Being able to choose between 2 or more toll roads knowing in advance how much each route costs would allow us to make an intelligent decision!
En muchos países, los peajes tienen diferencias sustanciales dependiendo de la hora, y las rutas sin peajes suelen estar colapsadas. Sería mucho más inteligente poder elegir entre 2 o más rutas con peaje, sabiendo cuál sería el costo de cada una al momento de elegir!
2 votesThank 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

Please add a “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.
Please add a persistent “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.
If a driver repeatedly deviates from the suggested route, Waze should respect that choice instead of continually re-routing them back onto the same road. Drivers often have local or real-time safety knowledge that the algorithm cannot detect.
This would improve safety, especially on narrow roads or blind corners.

Show roads with raised structures with navigation options to avoid those roads
Exactly as the title states. Users can report a road as being under construction with raised structures. In route options, uses have the ability to avoid roads that are under construction.

Horse Ahead
An option for horse riders to mark themselves as road users for a period of time which alerts cars that there is a ‘horse and rider ahead’. It would prevent so many accidents on country lanes
