Pop-up obscures junction box on southbound routes.
When a route through a junction box is generally southbound, the pop-up for that route (voice prompt, restrictions, switch route, difficult turn) obscures the junction box itself. This is a big pain when you are trying to use the Switch Route feature and you cannot see the route markings behind the pop-up. A handle to move the pop-up, or any other solution to keep the pop-up off of the junction box polygon would be helpful.

Report and block dangerous routes
I absolutely love your products, however there’s a major flaw in that you direct users through extremely dangerous areas in South Africa. This includes a well known Johannesburg hijack and robbery hotspot and yet I can’t report it nor block it on my route.

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.

different color & voice on map to indicate the route is a overhead bridge
sometimes there are overhead bridges that have the similar route as the road on ground. It is very confusing to look at the map. When we made a mistake and accidentally drive into the wrong lane (overhead-bridge/under the bridge) waze is still directing us to go further but the route is becoming more and more confusing because we are on the overhead/bottom, and GPS is showing only either one of it. GPS doesn't tell us we are on top of the bridge. so since we cannot change what the satellite see from the top. is it possible to color the…

Automatically break up long routes
Waze has a hard time calculating long (several hundred miles) trips, because of all the data it tracks. The solution is to break your trip up into shorter segments. I propose to have Waze do this automatically.
When a very long trip is requested, have Waze calculate the route, then set the person's destination to an intermediate point. When they reach that point, set it to the next intermediate point, etc., ending up at their final destination. This would ease the lag in the app when, for instance, Waze has to re-calculate your 800-mile route. Instead, it would…

Allow declaring Toll Roads and the option to not navigate through them
Waze wants to route me through a toll road every day and can't seem to find an alternate route until I actually drive it. I want to be able to avoid Toll roads, which means tolls roads need to be able to be declared in the editor.

Allow default sharing of route to android share rather than internal sharing mechanism
Currently sharing is done to an alphabetical user list from my contacts. This is of course kind of silly since most of us use waze for navigation but not as a means of communication. I would like to see the old sharing back as default (share via other app), or even better - remember which app i used last to share and offer it as default. In the past 4 years I have shared my ride not via whatsapp only once, and that was into facebook chat.

be able to limit voice instructions to a single part of the route
I usually do the same route in which, approximately halfway along the route, there is a point of traffic congestion and this is where Waze is useful for me to find an alternative to that point. I would like to be able to select only a part of the journey to receive the directions and be able to avoid them for the rest of the journey as I don't need them. I use Waze on the phone connected by bluetooth to the car and I can't manipulate it to silence it.
I hope I explained myself well1 vote -
It would be great if I could add a custom date for Planned Routes
It would be great if I could add a custom date for Planned Routes. I have an event I'd like to plan a route for, but it's in September. Other times, I don't know what day specifically it will be. Other times I know the specific date, but not what day of week it is.

Incorrect Route
Please stop directing people off Highway 80 Eastbound onto Chiles (frontage) Road and other surface roads at Davis CA. Highway 80 necks down from 5 lanes at UC Davis to 3 lanes across the Yolo Causeway. People are not getting onto the causeway any faster because of your direction. What is happening is that entire neighborhoods are blocked in. Emergency vehicles have no access as the surface roads are backed up to Highway 113 and even further. People are "parked" in intersections, blocking them. When Davis Legacy Soccer is holding a tournament off Chiles, people are blocked into the soccer…

Option to limit route at max 50 mph (spare tire)
Last week I got a flat tire. After changing it with a spare one, I went back on my way. But my speed was limited to 50 mph/80kmh due to that flat tire.
Waze suggested a route with higher speed limit which is dangerous when you are limited due to a spare tire.
There should have an option to select routes with « limit to routes with max 50 mph ». Similar to the one to avoid toll roads

Add in Android Auto the list of "notices" on my route, as also available on phone.
Oh phone is possible to list all notice (queue, incident, etc) on my route. It should be available on Android Auto too.

"Along route" should be a choice when searching for a point of interest!
Many times while driving I want to find a restaurant, bathroom, gas station, etc. I'll get results, but a) many are already far behind me, and b) the distance is off. How about giving an "Along route" option? Unless the only option is behind me, it is silly that I have to test 4 or 5 choices that move me backwards before I find one that is ahead of me. Waze knows where I am headed and knows where the places are, so that should be the clear and obvious option.
And why can't the distance be correct? Again,…

Add ability to route via a gas station
Of all the POIs out there, gas stations are the most important. Waze should be able to incorporate a gas station stop into its directions. It should also be possible for users to report the location of gas stations from the app.

Avoid parkway feature
Driving a commercial vehicle we are not allowed to go on parkways. A conventional GPS allows you to "avoid part of route" I want to be able to go on all other highways just not parkways. When it gives you a route, you should be able to avoid parkways where all truckers cannot use either

Prolonged route
Sometimes kids fall asleep in the car and parents would prefer prolonging the drive for some extra zzz's
It would be a cool to have a feature so waze adds some extra miles to your trip - maybe even taking into consideration roads with fewer stop signs and red lights.Thanks,
Signed, a parent whose kid fell asleep in the car 10mins from destination 😅1 vote
