Danger level routes
Hi there,
I love Waze and use it everywhere in the world, mainly Africa and South America where traffic can be hectic... But also dangerous.

Mark roads/routes safe for women travelling alone
I usually drive alone and as a woman travelling solo there have been some roads on which I have been somehow scared due to their lack of illumination/population nearby. I was wondering if you have ever thought about adding a feature that would flag roads safe for women travelling alone. For me, I would definitely feel safer knowing that the route is well lit/populated/does not go through dangerous neighborhoods and I wouldn't mind if it's not the shortest or quickest route as long as I feel safe. There would always be the option to choose if one wants to take…

When using Apple car play there is no option to add a stop with the closest available location on route
When using Apple car play there is no option to add a stop using the closest available location on your current route. It only shows by mileage but that can sometimes backtrack you.

Allow users to set routing preferences based on factors other than journey time
Waze comes up with some extraordinary routes to minimise journey time, but the best route is a combination of several factors. How about allowing users to set preferences for other factors such as shorter distance, minimising turns, best fuel consumption etc.

Stop the app suggesting a "better" route during a drive if it'd require a sudden change of lanes/direction
I've just dealt with a user report complaining that their app will sometimes suddenly change the route as they're approaching a major junction, and in order to follow the new route would require a late and potentially dangerous change of lanes.
Given we now have lane guidance and lane count details available in the map data, it should be feasible to work out when it might be a really crazy idea to be telling the user to start following a different route to the one they're currently on, due to the need to make a sudden change of lanes, and…

Have an option to use HOV routes or not
I drive by myself most of the time that I use Waze. Many times two out of the three routes I get are in HOV route. It would be nice if I could opt out of HOV routes and actually have three routes to choose from.

Waze always sends me on a route with 2 tolls, I want to limit to 1
Waze always directs me to a route that requires 2 tolls, when for 2 extra minutes I only have 1 toll. It's not worth it to pay a 2nd toll for 2 minutes - and Waze hasn't recognized that I almost never follow its suggested route.

add option to disable traffic based routing
When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.
Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.
Because of this, there should be a simpler routing…

New color for current route on map that contrasts from the color of the other roads
The route color, especially on Apple Maps, that is light blue is almost the exact same color as all the other roads that are greyish blue. It’s hard to know which road to take sometimes because they are all the same color. I’d love if the route was a different color or stood out more.

Transferring routes from Google Maps to Waze

When entering a route that has HOV lanes, it would be helpful if Waze asked how many occupants are in the vehicle. 1, 2, 3+ And utilize the HOV lane where applicable.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

More Route options and prevent closing mid-ride
Hi there, I have a suggestion. Kindly add more route options, this is especially important in congested cities like Nairobi. It will frequently save time to go around than to to go thru the CBD. Addtionally, using your app on my motorcycle, I had severe issues with the app closing mid-ride resulting in complete confusion where to go. Please sort these out. The app has a lot of potential but is unusable because of this
