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.
693 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Please update route showing newly completed 269 to Tunica via 302 past Corinth Ms. Cuts off 1 hour travel time compared to the Waze app.
Route to 1010 Casino Dr. Robinson Ms., Waze does not show new and updated route. Outside Corinth Ms. take 302 then State road 269 into Tunica. Cuts off one hour travel time compared to the route shown in Waze currently.

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.

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…

return around me screen from previous version. People do a lot of local unplanned trips without setting a route or ending location
I travel local I have no idea route I'll use and do not have time to establish a route. previous version of Waze showed all reports located in my area

Do not start navigation automatically. Somtimes you just want to check the route or estimated journey time in advance.

Add voice commentary at the end of your drive when the route you actually went was slower\quicker than what Waze originally presented.
I want Waze to say, "Good job! You found a faster route! You saved 5 minutes. Other Wazers will thank you." or "The route you chose took you 5 minutes longer. Maybe you should listen to me next time?"
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

Indication of clear route ahead (compared to normal traffic)
Where I live, there aren't that many Wazers. So often, heavy traffic on a stretch of road is not reported simply because no Wazer has been there yet (despite it being a busy main road).
Regularly I will detour around junctions because usually there is congestion, sometimes reported on Waze, sometimes not, it ends up being a gamble to detour or not.
However sometimes (and it seems randomly), there is no congestion. On the Waze client, the road is shown as clear, but like I said above, that often means no Wazer has been there yet to report traffic, so…

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route.
Suggest Waze needs to add a feature to read warnings every time there is a change in speed limit on the route. (currently: waze does not read or very rarely reads warnings when there is a change in speed limit)

Option to not display the 'route summary' screen when starting navigation.
Having selected a destination on the map and choosing to navigate to that destination, a 'summary' screen is currently being displayed before navigation commences, requiring the user to accept the route prior to navigation starting.
An option to bypass this screen and start navigation immediately after selecting a destination would be a nice addition.1 vote
