Business Address Route to arrive on the right side of the street
For business address, hotels, commercial, etc. especially in busy downtown areas, please have the route always go around the block or whatever is necessary to arrive on the Right side of the street. For example dropping a passenger off in front of the building. Avoids having to do a mid-block u-turn or going around the block.

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.

Custom colors for car icon arrow &night time route
To be able to change colour of default car icon and night time route color, the cyan blue is too much of a strain on the eyes, if these were to be customised to suit all individuals for their own preference, this would be appreciated, maybe a shaded circle around the arrow as well for more clarity.

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.

Collaborative Routing
Waze works like the most other Navigation Apps. You can choose between 1 and 3 different fixed routes, that sometimes slightly change when there is a lot of traffic ahead. The problem is, that Waze works like a broadcast as far as I know.
So when Route 1 have heavy traffic, all other users get Route 2 to avoid traffic. The problem here is, that new heavy traffic will be created to avoid the first.
All cars following the same alternative route.
Instead of rely on fixed routes, each user should get a personal routing suggestion l,…

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.

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…

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.

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…

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

Arrival time and travel time on the route disappear.
Arrival time and travel time on the route disappear. They appear with a gray background and white letters, and then suddenly, they change to white letters and a white background, making them impossible to read. You have to constantly switch screens to see this data. It started a few days ago. It's very bad. It happens mostly on the car's MEDIANAV, connected to the phone using Waze on the phone. There was no version change in MediaNav, just an update to Waze itself.

privilégier les routes sures
j'ai utilisé votre application pendant un mois en Italie
même si les trajets sont exacts les routes que vous nous faites emprunter sont pour le mois dangereuses et ne sont absolument pas recommandables
cela vient du fait que votre application cherche la route la plus courte en temps mais non pas la route la plus sure même si elle nécessite le faire quelques km de plus
j'ai fait l'expérience similaire avec google maps et c'est exactement les mêmes résultats tout aussi dangereux7 votes -

Do not route cars through Foxboro Dr. Los angeles, 90049. It's a very narrow street and you are blocking 2 way access. It doesn't get you to sunset any faster than staying on Sunset.

Warnings are blocked by route in landscape mode on iphone
when using waze on my iphone 6 in landscape mode, the top of the screen indicates where next exit is, etc. When a warning is received it appears behind the aforementioned route and the warning cannot be read in its entirety, so it is a guess it there is an obstruction, stalled car, police etc. This just happened within the last month.
