Flag when route contains tolls
Yesterday I was going from Kfar Saba to Tel Aviv in the morning and the route ended costing me over a 150 NIS.
I often use Waze and trust it so I put in the address and followed the route. At some point I realized that it was taking me to Road 6 (which I didn't want to take because I am with a rental car at the moment and they charge extra) it was too late to turn back at that point so I proceeded. Only to discover that the route was now taking me to the fast lane…

Enable drawing polygon areas Where Closures Cannot Be Applied
Use-case:
There is a bridge under construction where only one direction is open at a time, controlled by traffic lights. Currently, Waze often shows it as closed, even though cars are just waiting for the light to change.
Proposal:
Add a feature in WME to draw a polygon-shaped area where closures cannot be applied — useful for cases like temporary one-lane bridges with traffic lights, where Waze should display a queue instead of a closure.

You need to give a FUK!
You can make your product safer, if you just gave a FUK! Meaning, "Frequently Used Keys"! I LOVE your product! I live by it when I drive! I report as much as I can to make Waze as accurate as possible!
I tend to report alot of cars broken down on the side of the road. Yellow dot, hazard, car broken, on the shoulder. 4 keys to push to report something so common!?! So why not have FUKs to make reporting easier, quicker, and safer? Whereas, I only hit ONE key to report something I report often?

How would you report a hazard in the road later when it is safe to do so. There was a chain on my exit lane and not a convenient time to pos
Be able to touch your route and post a hazard (chain in the road) after you have stopped at a later time and it is safe to post.

Vehicle on hard shoulder
Perhaps the wording of "Vehicle on hard shoulder" could be changed to "Broken down vehicle obstruction" or something else similar. This way it is only added when a vehicle is in a live lane. I find a lot of people add this report when the vehicle is not in the way, sometimes just in a layby even. There is no need for the report and just causes unnecessary traffic delays. It would be the same as saying "Lamppost ahead" if it's not in the road or obstructing traffic, then I feel the report is more of a distraction than…

User preferences for level of detail in turn instructions
I keep my audio set to "Alerts only" and am familiar with my metro area's turns and continuations and, when I preview my route's turns, I like for the list of instructions to be as concise as possible. I like that "View Only" instructions don't show up in that route preview.
But, for a turn instruction to be spoken, it must also be included in that list of instructions. This makes it more difficult for me to distinguish the key turns on my route; it may also be an unnecessary level of detail for other drivers who are already familiar…

I want to point outthat vehicle type setting can potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing the route to be congested, when in fact traffic was smooth flowing, albeit at a slightly slower speed due to heavy rain showers.
In Malaysia, when it rains, motor cyclists take shelter under flyovers and bridges. Therefore, if their waze was on, it would make your app think traffic is at a standstill.
Another issue with motorcycles is, in Malaysia, Lane Splitting is not an offence, and most times, during slow traffic, motorcyclists travel at much higher…

Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate
Ability to Add a "Gate" to a segment of roadway on Waze Map Editor, then include Definitions of that Gate, such as, Restrictions of Entry (Guests-only, Guests and Residents, Residents-only, Construction-only, All Types Available Access), Restrictions of Roadway (Narrow Road, Unpaved Road, Separate Lane for Guests, etc.), and Times of Guest Availability (Primarily for Gated Communities that employ staff and have to revolve around Holidays, Night Time Restriction Hours, etc.).
I'm a Spark Delivery Driver for the Jasper, GA area and roughly 80% of the gates that I encounter are Private Resident Gates with 20% of them being Gated Community…

Environmental Related Hazards
There should be a hazard option to report any weather conditions like any objects on fire that are on the road or on the shoulder. I suggest this as I was just on the QEW and there was a grass fire that had cause heavy traffic and I went to report it and there was no option to. I feel if there were more environmental related hazards that could be available for reporting, it will not only inform other drivers of the situation so that they can navigate out of the way to prevent less of a traffic jam and…

Add Completely Custom Routes
I would like the option to draw my own route. I often use Waze, not just to get places I've never been, but to time my arrival to places locally and be alerted to traffic incidents.
Overall I love Waze, but I can't use it much because it wants to "optimize" my route, which often takes me straight through dangerous construction areas (single lane concrete barrier interstate death chutes). We have a ton of construction in my area right now on almost every major road. I don't want to avoid all highways or interstates or even all of one interstate,…

Show visual instructions for "View Only"
For a View Only instruction, only a "Continue" instruction is currently shown in the app along with the lanes. It should also show visual instructions that are set by editors in the WME Turn Instructions panel.

Waze Runner – Safer Routes for Runners
Waze Runner is a feature that helps runners find the safest, most well-lit, and frequently used routes based on real-time data. It would:
Geo-tag common running paths and suggest safer routes.
Provide alerts on construction, lane closures, and low-visibility areas affecting safety.
Offer an emergency connect feature to locate other runners or notify a trusted contact if needed.
This feature would make running in unfamiliar or isolated areas safer, particularly for women. Waze’s mapping and community data make it the perfect platform to implement this solution.More details & case study: https://www.byanuthomas.com/projects/wazerunner
Would love to see this feature considered! 🚀

Suggested improvements to display
UConnect system is installed in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I don't use it due to the cost of upgrading the map. But, I do like some of its features that would greatly benefit Waze. I have screen shots available if needed but don't see a way to add to this post.
- Show the name of the actual city/town that your in. Really helps when traveling
- Show highway signs on map that exactly match the highway road signs (image wise) when exiting, merging, etc. EXTREMELY helpful in large cities and enhances road lane guidance

Variable Toll versus Fixed Toll opton
A lot of users want Waze to add additional features for variable tolls but all I am asking for is for Waze to recoginze the difference between fixed tolls and varaible tolls. I've come to the conclusion that Waze is pretty much unusable for my comute from Falls Church to Herndon, VA becuase it either wants to take me on the unaffordable express lanes OR avoid the reasonable Dulles Toll Road.

Recalulate Route Button / Bird's Eye Route / I'm On This Route Button
Seems like there are lots of these that get one or two votes and die the way of the dodo just like I will assume this suggestion will do. Although the idea behind Waze is social-traffic guidance it doesn't do the commuter a lot of good when they are in route on a multi-lane interstate in the middle of rush hour(s).
We all give permission for Google/Waze/everyone to know our location so use that information to know that we are on the route and recalculate the traffic speeds based on our movement and feedback on our phones.

My complaint is that if there are 2 right turn lanes or 2 left turn lanes and an immediate turn is next, it would be helpful for the Waze voice to direct me which turn lanes to be in for my next turn. I have the Newest Version of Waze on my phone and still having this issue in St. Louis, MO

HOV depending on people in car
As you plan a trip, if there are HOV lanes, the app should ask how many people are in the car so that you can be directed to HOV lanes if you pass the requirements for those lanes. Thx :)

Waze para Motocicletas (Waze for Motorcicles)
Em São Paulo, no Brasil, há um grande número de motociclistas que utilizam o Waze diariamente, como eu. Porém, o navegador recalcula as rotas conforme o trânsito de carros, o que não é interessante para nós, devido aos corredores de motos (faixas entre os carros). Por isso, gostaria de sugerir que fosse criado um modo especial para motos, que pode ser dentro do próprio programa, que não recalcule as rotas da mesma maneira que faz para os carros. No caso, recalcularia somente em casos de bloqueios ou acidentes. Desde já, agradeço e parabenizo pelo aplicativo, que nos ajuda muito!

Traffic lanes speed.
It would be useful to add this feature back to the Waze app because the speed of traffic segments is useful, so that we drivers can understand how intense the traffic is on certain sections of the road. But it should be estimated in both Km and in miles.
