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…

Type of Route Options Preference settings
I frequently drive a route that gives me the option of taking a toll road or driving on the non-toll route or taking streets - but when I look at the routes available to me, I am not able to compare the time savings of taking the toll road vs the non toll version of the road. I am only able to see toll road, or a street option, or an alternate freeway option. I would really like to be able to see the difference in commute time if I jump in the HOT lane vs not paying toll…

Avoid traffic on the route.
I think it would be useful to add a function or setting that avoids all traffic jams on the route without wasting time in everyday traffic.

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…

Add full support on HUD displays on cars
When using Waze in my Car via Android Auto, it shows show semi support on the HUD display.
For example, when turning left on roundabout, the arrow and symbol shows straight instead of circle with left arrow surrounding it.
Another support is missing - When driving on road with several lanes and need to stay on right lane or left lane, no lanes appear on HUD, only straight arrow.
Google Maps and Sygic work great with HUD display so it's clearly an issue with Waze.
Please fix.

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.

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…

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

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!

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.

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.6 votes -
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

How come there isnt a feature to "avoid crashes".
Several times I've been notified less then 1km from a collision, this does not leave me any time to change route. If the route knows there's a reported accident on your route, it could tell you to change routes to avoid, or ask of you want to. I would also like to see notifications way sooner then 1km, like 5 or even 10km.

"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.

Use A.I. to help us avoid missing a turn
I am sure that Waze is keeping data on our driving and routes. Why not use that data to assist us. If you find that two or more people miss the same turn . . . then do something about it!
Either give us multiple warnings as drivers approach the turn in the future or choose a different route avoiding that turn . . . or both.
This could help reduce the amount of times we have to make u turns and add additional time to our trips.3 votes -
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 -

I would like an "Avoid Left Turns" in addition to "Avoid Difficult Intersection" (in the US) along with additional time and distance.
I try to avoid them, anyway. But I am not aware of them on unfamiliar routes. I would like to see estimated differences in time and distance.to determine if the routes is worthwhile. I've wanted this feature for years and wondered why it is not already a feature..Not only can left turns be a hassle, but they are also inherently more dangerous..

route overview
Please add an option to see either a birds-eye overview or a turn-by-turn list (or both?) of the route Waze is taking me on.
Sometimes I know I want to avoid a particular road. So when Waze plots a route for me at the start, I can review the proposed alternate routes and choose one. But if I need to deviate from that route to make a side errand maybe, Waze will recalculate my route on the fly, going back to its #1 preferred route. If I'm not paying close attention, this sends me back over to the road I…
