Adding the ability to see the map and route for planned trips
Adding the ability to see the map and route for planned trips would be really helpfull when you want to see the ways you gonna ride
Also, if you want to check the route from a location other than your current one, you can plan a ride and than change the destination but than you can't see the map.1 vote -

Have a daily notification showing traffic on route traveled in advance of departure
Daily notification at a set time that informs you about traffic on selected routes. i.e. at 5 pm a notification alerts you to traffic on the M11.
I don't use Waze for my commute each day as I know the way, accordingly i often forget to check the traffic and get caught. A daily notification at the same time would stop this, it could also provide an alternate route.

Alternative Routes Button: Force a Short Detour Option (Skip Next 1-2km of Active Route)
Hi,
I confirm that I checked if this idea has already been posted, and did not find it: :whitecheckmark:
My suggestion is for the following feature:
The alternative routes button should provide an additional option to force a short detour for the next 1-2 km from my current position, bypassing a portion of the active route, regardless of whether the detour is optimal, slower, or less preferred.My suggestion solves this problem:
Currently, alternative routes only offer optimal paths for reaching the destination. Sometimes, however, I need to skip only the next few kilometers of…1 vote -
Retrospective (after arrival) information on route time via non-selected routes
This feature would show how long the drive would have taken had i chosen an alternate route. When caught in traffic one often feels I should have taken the other option. This feature would provide information, after arrival at destination, on how one would have fared had another option been selected.

Allow users to highlight the route only, without turn by turn directions.
When you've lived in the same city your entire life, you don't need turn by turn directions taking up most of the screen. However it can be nice to have the route outlined, with traffic, construction, and radar highlighted.
A toggle to display the route, without turn by turn directions would make this app a very viable replacement for Google maps.

Send an alert as soon as an accident occurs on the route so driver can consider another before Waze suggests one
Send an alert as soon as an accident occurs on the current route so driver can immediately consider another. It takes Waze a while to suggest a new one as it waits for traffic to build up while a driver will know that is likely to happen and can pick another route before it is too late.

Display alternative ETA's at junctions
When I'm driving towards an intersection junction along my route with several route alternatives, I would like a feature that displays hor much longer those alternative route choices are.
Why?
1) My commute has several alternative route choices that differ in meters and seconds.2) The first Waze default route choice is not always best.
3) Sometimes I can plan my route better than Waze, and don't always choose the Waze route.
4) Sometimes I prefer some variety in my daily commute.
5) Sometimes I want to choose a different route just so I can see something different.

Street blacklist
Unfortunately in some countries we face the reality of violence and sometimes the fastest route is not safe. So, my proposal is that we could have a "Street blacklist" in order to be able to add streets that we don't want to be in the route, preventing us to check all the route and try to find a new route every time or in a situation when we want a new route fast and during the route we notice that the navigation is going in the way that we don't want.

I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed
I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed. Specially when using Navigation since it the ETA status window takes up a reasonable portion of the screen. For instance: if I'm driving southeast my car icon should be displayed in the upper left hand corner (when using True North mode) but the same applies when in the relative mode. Thanks

Set permanent preferred routes for common commute such as: home to work and work to home
Set permanent preferred routes for common commute such as: home to work and work to home. Most people already have a set route preferred from home to work and back. Also set ways to drive to the everyday shopping stores. For those common commutes, it would be useful if Waze would give you your preferred route for the routes you have established in the favorites menu to location, rather than one based on set rules. It would be even more interesting if waze can learn your preferred routes when you commute to locations set in the Favorites…

alternate route needed from Lake City FL to Augusta GA
I recently traveled from Lake City, FL to Augusta, GA. The route that Waze took us included about 75-80 miles along US 80 east. While this is a fine road, it is very isolated with no rest stops, only 2 gas stations, and only small rural side roads. If I were to have a flat tire or other emergency, I would be in trouble. There are no mile markers or other landmarks and while I did not try this, but I am not sure that I would have cell service or how far first responders are located. Can you please…

OFFER AN EASIER ROUTE TO THE PINEHLLS PLYMOUTH
You offer two options to get off at Route 3 Exit 4. and then you are on a winding dark road. EXIT #3 IS A MUCH MORE PLEASANT OPTION AND YOU SHOULD OFFER DIRECTIONS. I gladly drive an extra 10 min ti avoid LONG POND RD WHICH IS A TOUGH COMMUTE

Disable automatic Update Request route reporting on higher level roads.
Under certain circumstances, Waze seems to automatically submit automatic reports - but there seem to be too many of them (big time cost for editors that process and respond to URs following up for feedback, generally no response from the "reporter" because they didn't report anything themselves).
This specific request is to disable "Incorrect route", "Incorrect turn" or other similar problems on higher-level divided roads (Motorway, Major Highway, Minor Highway). When we have roadworks, the roads authority will often set up contraflow lanes on the opposing direction's roadway. This seems to produce numerous automated reports that have no value…
