- Include “Avoid hazardous area” as route options.
We have seen many drivers get into slum areas that are really dangerous, with many episodes of people getting killed when entering on those areas in Rio de Janeiro, for example. I experienced this on other cities in Brazil and, sometimes, I really avoid using Waze because of this.
166 votesGreat news! The option to avoid high risk areas is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Mute re-routing sound
The constant re-routing sound waze makes when I choose not to take the exact route she wants me to, or because I kiss a turn is loud in my Bluetooth and even though I have the sound turned down its still annoying. I know she is going to re-route me so I don't need that loud Beep she makes. No other GPS device does this. If we could please have an option to mute this, then that would be amazing. Thanks.

How do I report a suggested route as a public safety concern?
I reported a route issue while using the navigation app which led me to the Waze Map Editor platform. I stated on that platform a leg of the suggested route as a public safety concern. The route went through a couple of small residential streets that have low vehicular traffic and many children playing on those streets. A person from Waze Map Editor said they have "limited ability to influence the suggested route". Who or how can I report a suggested route as a public safety concern? Waze Map Editor doesn't seem to be the right platform for such…

Return to original route if I deviate
If there are multiple routes to a destination, I will choose the one which most suits me, even if sometimes it’s a little longer because it avoids difficult roads (I live in the countryside; there are a lot). But sometimes, for instance when one of my local roads floods, the way I prefer to avoid that road closure is not one of Waze’s options, so I will deviate from the route. Except after I do that, Waze will automatically put me on one of its other routes; often without saying.
Please have an option that will allow…

Voice summary of the duration and incidents of the selected route.
When starting a route, the duration, arrival time and current incidents on the route are reported by voice.
The power to use the application without touching anything, only by voice, has to be further promoted.

It would be nice if Waze could set a route around police patrols.

Secure routes
People should feedback the security of route (too dark, too dangerous, too lonely in a 1-5 scale for example). this way, user can choose route by distance, ETA or security.
Some times I just drive through routes I didn't wanna to if I knew.

Use my device's GPS accuracy to determine route stickyness
I often find myself "stuck" to parallel roads because Waze routed me that way and I "must" be following the route--even though my GPS places me over 20m (65ft) away!
When I go to Taco Bell on my way to work, it's so I can go through the drive thru, NOT so I can roll past the front door as Waze would have me do. But the 15m (50ft) out of the parking lot is "close enough" to assume that I'm following the route.
This also happens when I'm trying to train Waze to take a longer …1 vote -
Add a simple Retry button after route planning fails
Often, I enter my destination right before driving.
Sometimes Waze fails to plan the route (because of weak signal or Wi-Fi/mobile switch).
This usually happens just after I start driving, so it’s hard and unsafe to go through many taps to try again in Android Auto.Please add a small “Retry” button on the error screen to try planning again with the same address.
✅ Safer – no need to touch the screen much while driving
✅ Faster recovery from short connection issues
✅ Very simple, very helpful improvement5 votes -
Ability to pick a route as favourite
For people with anxiety, new roads can be tricky to navigate. The possibility of picking a favourite route to go to your destination, so each time you drive there Waze suggests it automatically, would be great.

Think that you should actually have to click start to start route not have it start while you look at The route
Looking at The routes to decide the path is not the same as clicking to start the route

Fixbug where reporting traffic for instance while deviating from a turn by turn route places the reported event on the route not on the path

Please, can we have breadcrumbs to use a return route.
use of a return on the same route would be hugely beneficial - also to see frequently used routes would be similarly useful!.

Railway crossings with barriers should be avoidable (or lowering route priority).
Railway crossings with barriers should be avoidable (or lowering route priority). There exists near tunnel bypasses very often.
Note, the above problem can be solved by allowing discrimination of chosen road segments while creating navigation route.1 vote -
Request for Recalculation of Route after Deviating from Predefined Path
Hello,My name is Paul, and I have been using the Waze app for some time. I have noticed that when I choose to deviate from the predefined route, the app continues to redirect me back to the original route, even though I would prefer a recalculation of a new route from my current location.Please consider adding an option in Waze that allows for the automatic recalculation of the route starting from the point where the user deviated from the predefined path. This functionality would be extremely useful in situations where the initial route is no longer optimal or…

RV routes
I use Waze vigorously, however, in the summer of vacation time we adventure out in our RV. It would be helpful to have routes provided by selecting the vehicle type as an RV, and using roads specifically safe for an RV/18 wheeler truck.
These vehicles are not designed for small narrow roads, and would need to have the safest route provided possible.
Is it possible that we can have better options for the vehicle type, and this way Waze can make a suggested route specifically for said vehicle type? I honestly believe this would increase the amount of users…
