Add road closures when not on a route
Android and Car Play do not let you mark road closures while driving. In large cities, WAZE is often inaccurate because of the number of event road closures that go unreported. Please add a feature to add road closures for non-drivers and off-route drivers in large cities.

mode that only makes a sound for route changes
It would be nice to have a sound mode option that only makes a sound if there is a change in route ahead.

Prevent route popup when using android auto
Route popup always appears on start up. This is not always wanted as it hogs up the screen and each journey does not require a defined destination.
Adding an option to turn on/off on start up would be nice.

Personalized routes
Would be nice to be able to select which routes are more preferable in terms of time/length/convenience. Example: prefer long route vs traffic jam, or faster route vs shortest, or hard faster route vs nice longer road.
Basically allow to choose what's more important - time, money (gas), complexity (novice drivers prefer less crowded roads), maybe even "nice view" coefficient, and adjust the way Waze calculates the route for the individual.6 votes -
Route with less traffic even if it takes longer
I hate stop and go traffic. I don't mind a longer travel if it means avoiding stop and go traffic.
Please add option to take alternate route that avoids heavy traffic even if it takes like 10 minutes longer. User should be able to set how much longer.

Further customizability in route options for drivers (enthusiast drivers)
Not only do, I feel like the special voices should have street names as well, especially in the age of advanced speech to text and artificial intelligence, but I also feel strongly that there should be more customizability for route options as it relates to those who enjoy the art of driving… there are toggles to avoid freeways and avoid unpaved roads, but why not a toggle for someone who enjoys the freeways, but also enjoys a fun route with minimal traffic… Something along the lanes of a “enthusiast toggle” where it shows a dynamic route with fun, challenge, curves…

A feature to enter a 'draw path mode' where the user can draw along the map to set a specific/general route to allow for route flexibility.

This will allow drivers to set routes quickly to avoid roads that are unwanted.1 vote -
Problem in route visualization when displaying alerts
When Waze displays route alerts the alert appears over the map when the phone is in horizontal position and it is not possible to see what should be done ahead. Please review this, as previous versions didn't have this issue.

Rearrange layout of route choices
When I click on "ROUTES", the layout is so dumb that there is more space for the cute graph than the actual road names. So, for example, if I have to follow one same street in the 3 different options, I only see the name of that street so the 3 different options look the same. I would like to know more about each route, and I think there could be less space affected to the cute graph.
Right now it's like half the screen for the graph and I simply don't think that's necessary.

Feedback on the deviation from suggested route
Instead of asking riders to stop and report, like when they take a detour. Why cant we ask for a feedback for diverting from the suggested route.
Also a one tap button to report, which we can detail out at the end of the journey.

Ability to add more than one stop on my route
I find the option to add stops on my route convenient for when I'm going on a long drive where I need to stop at a few places along the way, but it only allows me to add one extra stop. Why can I only add one? I'd appreciate being able to add at least 3 or 4 stops in one trip so I don't need to start a new route after each destination along the way (I've had to do that before and it's way too complicated). Can you please add an option to be able to add more…

Click into hazards on route during planned rides
Currently, if you click into a planned route from the main page, it shows you where possible hazards along the journey are.
However, it does not allow you to click into them to see what they are or when they were reported / any associated comments.
It would be useful to be able to do this to know what is upcoming on the journey before I set out.

Share route color band needs to be in different color with traffic color band.
The current share route color is green which is the same as none congested traffic color band. The same color bands created confusion to the user. I really can’t understand why this kind of mistake not being picked up by the UI designer. Please fix it asap!

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.

Route through road closures
During last week Verizon had to support the first responders was satellite assets for their communications. We were able to go through road closures. I would like the ability to turn off the reroute around road closures so that the people that can actually go through the road closures can be routed to their destination lot faster because of Waze and other map programs we could not rout ourselves to the locations that we needed to go to, I am Sure that the mini first responders that were at the Ruidoso Fire had the same issue

Localized Highway Shields (State & County Routes, etc)
In the U.S., each state has its own highway route number shield. Some states, like West Virginia, also have county route shields that differ from the state route shields. In Pennsylvania, a route like Route 28 would show the Keystone with a 28 on top of it.
A lot of effort is taken in WME to ensure the road names and turn-by-turn instructions match signage. Drivers would benefit by having the same highway shields in their Waze app as they will see on the highway signage as they drive.
Apple has already included this in Apple Maps. It should be…

Route planning based on severe weather
Is it possible to add a radar weather layer to the navigation map while driving in real time and suggest alternative routes to avoid severe weather. It would be useful to avoid large snow/ ice storms or hail/ thunder storms.

UPDATE SECTION: Warning on the route
Currently, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips per sense, and an accident is reported, although the road is crowded, we do not know which band to fall in to avoid the accident.
After the warning buttons like: accident, hole, works, etc
Show the selection of the band on which the warning is placed
Let's have options, three lanes.
This will help us whether we are on a road with a band, or that we are on a 5-lane highway
After this UPDATE, if we are on a highway with 2, 3 or more strips…8 votes
