Routes
I’d like to request 2 additional routes besides the existing 3 recommended routes:- 1) The longest route that avoids 50% of overall traffics along its path; while navigating on this route, it’d alert with options when there’s a faster route regardless of distance; options are either to maintain current route or the improved traffic route? 2) The longest route that evades 90% or higher overall traffics along its path; while navigating on this route, it’ll pop up a screen that alerts users of a quicker route regardless of overall distance, which free from zero or…

Ad option under navigation for "fastest route".
It seems shortest distance (in miles) is the option Waze gives. In one case, Waze tries to take me over and around the mountain which is actually longer due to very sharp curves.

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.

adding second rout icon that show the next best route and the time will take
we as Humans always feel that the neighbor grass is greener and the route we took is not really the best one.
my idea is to add an icon showing the best second route at a high level with time to the destination. sometimes for a couple of more minutes but better road I will prefer changing my way ....
from other side, I will feel more confident that Waze suggested me the best way .2 votes -
Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.

Minimum time buffer for changing routes
Please, please build in a minimum time 'buffer' under which Waze would not change the selected route. For example, if I put 10 minutes in the buffer, any route change which would save less than 10 mins.would not be made.

Improve display for alternate routs
When alternate routs are displayed, the route description is displayed in small, grey, hard to read font. A larger and darker font would help.
This option of alternate routs is useful during drive to conclude if a suggested "exotic" route really save significant time.6 votes -
Railroad crossing warning remains on screen permanently after recalculating route
Like the title says, the “railroad crossing” warning stays on the screen forever if the route recalculates while the warning is on screen

Automatic Alternative Routes
Give automatic alternative routes. I like Waze but I use Google maps because of the automatic alternative routes choices. Google maps can also calculate a route if I make a wrong turn. I am in my car as part of my job and I need this option for traffic jams, accidents, etc.

Route Suggestions are not the BEST! Have thubms UP, when WAZE does a good job.
On some days, Waze suggests some really amazing detours and it saves a lot of GAS, as the vehicle is constantly moving. Also, the route saves you time. At other times, WAZE take you straight into Traffic or to a route, with building up traffic, and then asks "Are you stuck in Traffic". Really !!!. You told me to go there.
There should be a way to give WAZE thumbs up, for saving time. and Thumbs DOWN for suggesting a route with more traffic with no options for detour.
Saying there is traffic ahead , and taking you there,…

Tolls & Route Options with Cost, Time, and Energy Info
Display all tolls on the map with cost, time saved, and energy difference compared to non-toll routes to make route choices clearer. Allow to select and unselect some based on the price vs time / range saved

Show Forward and Reverse Route Options with Distances on Two-Way Roads
I would like to suggest a feature that could enhance user experience when recalculating routes on two-way streets. The idea is that, upon initiating or redefining a route while the vehicle is stationary on such roads, the app would display indicators both ahead and behind the vehicle. These indicators would show the distance and estimated time for both directions, allowing the driver to choose the most efficient route. For example, if proceeding forward results in a 3.5 km journey and turning around leads to a 2.8 km route, the user could opt for the shorter and quicker…

Increase size of route number graphic in navigation information block
Please increase the size of the route number graphic in the Android Auto Waze display. For example, in Norther Virginia, I'm often traveling on the beltway (495) or highway 95 or 66, etc. There are areas where 395, 495, 95, etc are all options at the same time. These route numbers are shown in their graphical symbol form and the numbers are very small even though there is much more space in the box that shows the upcoming step in the navigation. As a driver that uses prescription glasses, I have to take off my distance prescription to read them…

More route options
It would be great to have the option to toggle between 3,4 or 5 routes. There may be different routes to get to the highway and everyone does not drive the highways.

Leave later time should consider route choosen
When you plan a drive to leave later, the time suggested to leave before the time you need to arrive, is always considering the fastest route (or the first option). Imagine you get 3 options of routes, if you choose the option with no tolls (slower), then you choose to leave later option, the calculation is made with the fastest option presented before (and not selected), but should consider the option selected.

You ought to change the name to "Uh-Oh, Error Calculating Route."
You ought to change the name to "Uh-Oh, Error Calculating Route." Since that's what shows up at least once and often twice about 65 percent of the time. It gets worse everyday. Would also be nice if the app would figure out where my house is, even though it has the address.

Make alternative routes tappable directly on the map like GMaps.
Hoping for tappable alternative routes on the map, which also shows time difference from the suggested route. This was a feature I liked a lot in GMaps.

Allow setting a maximum number of toll gates in route planning
Dear Waze Product Team,
I have a suggestion that would greatly benefit users travelling in toll-gated cities like Dubai.
Feature: Allow users to specify a maximum number of Salik toll gates they are okay with during a route search.
For example: “Avoid more than 2 Salik gates”
Waze would then show routes that meet this preference, while also displaying the number of Salik gates per route.
This feature would help users:
Control toll expenses and plan budgets.
Avoid surprises from unexpected toll gates.
Choose routes tailored to personal priorities (shortest time vs. fewer tolls).
Such an addition…
