Scalable Toll Road Avoidance
It would be great if, instead of just on/off to avoid toll roads, users could customize how much money they'd be willing to spend to save a certain number of minutes.
This could be put into the UI as a slide bar—with the option to put in a manual number—that ranges from "Always Avoid" on one end (equivalent to $0/min) to "Always Permit" on the other end (equivalent to "infinite"/min).As an example: I'm more than willing to avoid a toll if it costs more than $1 for 5-minute savings (e.g I would avoid a $1 toll if it…

Allow using lanes reserved for public transportation
Excellent software! Thanks.
Drivers entitled to public transport lanes are guides away from such lanes.
Public transport lanes option would be an important feature.

Eliminate country lanes
Eliminate country lanes as an option for routing would be great in the UK as these roads are often single lane and dangerous to drive. All to save a minute from the main roads!

Allow Preference for Open Road Tolling (no more "Exit Cash Lanes" directions)
I'm getting very tired of being told to "Exit to Cash Lanes" only to be navigated right back onto the same tollway. Best I can figure, Waze is trying to avoid you getting a ticket for driving through open road tolling areas (at least here in northern Illinois on I-294) by telling you to exit to cash lanes, but there should be an option to tell Waze you have a transponder and are good to go for open road tolling (and the app will stop telling you to exit at every open road tolling…

toll booth alert off switch
Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert
99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.
10 votesGreat news! The option to turn off toll booths alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

text reminder to pay toll
It would be nice to have a text sent when I drive on a toll road/toll lane to remind me to pay the toll. I am often not familiar with which highways are toll roads or the ones that have toll lanes. The later is the most unclear.

Lanes description
Recently there was a graphic description of the lanes before approaching a junction, so the driver can see what lanes exist and which one to choose. And after a while it was removed. It was nice and helpful, please give an option to put it back.

Toll Roads - Certain Toll Roads
Hi
It would be great if we could select certain toll roads that we do and don't want to travel on. In Sydney Australia we have many different toll roads, some offer cash back and most don't, some are distance based toll road and some are fixed price regardless of the length of the road. With the distance based toll roads an entry point a few hundred metres apart can cost you a couple of dollars every trip, multiple that a few trips every day then every week it will quickly add up!!
So It would be great if we…

Differentiate between toll roads and toll bridges
I drive solo in Seattle. I have three options into Seattle from the North: - I -405 (with a toll bridge - 525- across the lake) or 1-405 (with a non toll bridge - via 1-90) and then I-5 with no tolls at all.
Can we have an option for WAZ to differentiate between toll roads and toll bridges - this is because I can still drive the "regular" road on the 1-405 and then take the toll bridge (525) into Seattle, but I don't want WAZ to figure the time for the HOV/T lane...aaaaagh, does that make any…

Toll roads
If user could use settings to set something like "use toll roads if it shortens the time on the road for at least XX minutes" or "use toll road if fuel economy if more then $XX". Waze gives us multiple routs from A to B, sometimes it is better to use toll road, sometimes it cuts only about 5-6 minutes from the trip (or less) - still not the reason to use toll road, too expensive for this outcome. But sometimes toll road is way better, so we don't want to forbid waze to suggest us toll-roads. I think…

Temporary HOV/Carpool lanes
If I'm in a 2+ vehicle, it would be nice if a route preferred HOV lanes. In my area, there is a "temporary" HOV lane which has a different direction in morning and evening. (See US-93 between Boston and Braintree MA)
20 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.

Need to add a distinction between normal toll roads and premium priced toll roads. Ex In Northern Virginia , the toll way vs Greenway
In northern Virginia, we have a standard toll road (toll way 267) and a Greenway that goes into Loudoun County. The Greenway is an extremely high priced premium toll (min of $4.45) vs the regular toll way of $ 1 go $ 2. Since I and many others refuse to take the abusively priced Greenway but need the regular toll way for a portion of our route, we need another option other than toll or no toll. such as avoid premium toll?

default toll
Change the DEFAULT 'avoid toll roads' setting to yes, requiring the driver explicitly know about the potential for being charged, especially now that many tolls are invoiced electronically based on plate number.

Lanes Selection Display
The lane indicator display is a great addition but the colour used to highlight the correct lane isn’t great white against light gray isn’t very eye catching. How about the correct lanes are highlighted in the blue that is used for the main display. This will be more eye catching against the grayed out lanes

Toll roads alert
A great feature would be the possibility to keep toll roads enabled but receive an alert when a route includes that kind of road (toll road)

Display route with toll and no toll
When navigating to a place, display on the map the route with tolls and the route with no tolls. Having to turn on and off the avoid toll to compare both routes is an extra step that can be eliminated when planning a drive.
