you need to add a map button on the map to enable or disable freeway routing. often, a freeway will not be my best route, this would help
an onscreen button is needed to change from freeways to avoid freeways. Often, I would like to change enroute from freeway to surface roads and it takes many steps to do so. one button to change on or off onscreen would be a big help

Differentiate "dirt road" of "4x4 trail".
"Dirt road / 4x4 trail" should be called "4x4 trail" only, and keep the same navigation capabilities as now, only to be allocated as such the badly damaged roads that only 4x4 vehicles are able to travel it.
In the "street category" should be added a new type of segment called "dirt road", which would be passable streets for any vehicle but their ability to circulate them may vary due to various external factors such as weather. Because of this, they should suffer some level of penalty in the routing, and allows the "avoid dirt roads" in the application…55 votes -
Remove excess map details when entering/ exiting busy highway intersections with many entry points or circular roads that adds confusiont
For example:
1) I don't need to know the lanes that not in my direction of travel/ against my flow
2) If it's a lane that is parallel to me but something that I can't get into and no need to knowAt busy intersection with 4-5 exit ramps and inter-looping lanes from different directions, there can be information overload and confuses the driver on which is the right exit/ entry lane to use.
Put these not-useful-to-me/ distracting information into a very lightened colour or remove them totally?

Save the route for the way back from a location and also to use it other time
Possibility to save the route for the way back home from a location or to use it again other time. Many times waze guides you back on a longer/country lanes route.

Report Blocked Lane by Voice
It would be an amazing addition to be able to say "Hey Google, Report Left/Center/Right Lane Blocked" rather than needing to use the on-screen controls as it poses a safety hazard.
I feel as if that would entice users to use the feature more; it's a very beneficial tool to have, allowing you to prepare for the lane chance before it's too late.
That may also help with traffic congestion when everyone is trying to merge into a single lane on interstates.3 votes -
Block a turn only to myself.
A single segment makes my daily travel to work and son therapy only 1-2 minutes shorter, but through a neighborhood I avoid because it's full of turns and bad pavement. I wish I could make that single turn red on the WME but only for me so Waze can route me to any other route it sees better for me.

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel…

Select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway
Users should be able to select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway.
When driving on a multi-lane road, there's often reports of a hazard that cannot be seen. It would be more useful for "Which lane is the hazard in?" then select 1/2/3/4/5 so that drivers know specifically if it is likely to affect them.

Sharing Tips
Sharing tips about an specific area, that would pop up as you drive. Remarks written by drivers for specify roads or areas, such as "people crossing out of crossing lanes", "wet when slippery", "skate boarders often on the road"....just random tips that the drivers could write according to their opinion. It could be turned off by the driver once he/she has read it and it would never show up again. Tips that locals know and can improve driving safety and it's hard to create specific topics. Just custom made tips.

Special calculation and result for motorcycle despite traffic jam
Hi all,
Sorry I do not want to create a duplicate but rather synthesize the idea (other posts talked about but are not totally clear)
It would be cool to create a special motorcycle calculation, for big towns with big traffic jam (ex. Paris-France...) :
the faster way, whatever, even if cars are bumpers to bumpers.Because even if you ride slowly between cars, it remains faster than another way (excepted if road is closed by police or whatever).
It should be possible to choose this kind after choosing destination. For exemple, it would be really practical to have, after…

Motocicli 50cc e 125cc
In Italia esiste il problema che sulle tangenziali non si può circolare con una cilindrata inferiore ai 150cc, quindi chi utilizza un 125cc oppure un 50cc e serve utilizzare waze sarebbe bello come opzione evitare le tangenziali. Grazie
In Italy there is the problem that on the ring roads it is not possible to circulate with a displacement of less than 150cc, so those who use a 125cc or a 50cc and need to use waze would be nice as an option to avoid the ring roads. Thank you

need waze to tell me the turn after next, so I can set lane position properly when making the next turn
Waze will show/tell m the next turn to make, but before I get to it, I need to know what the turn after will be, to insure my lane position is correct for the coming turn.
6 votesGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

Burn in Screen
I am using Waze everyday in my car however; recently I have noted that the waze interface is causing my AMOLED screen to show a shadow screen of waze even while I am in other apps. I was wondering if the waze display screen items location can be changed randomly on an occasional basis to avoid such issues on the phone screens. I informed some of my friends and they found same issue on their phone so we are forced to reduce usage of this app as much as possible to avoid severe damages to our displays. Thanks for your…

The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
It would be appreciated to add the "Avoid high-risk areas" setting in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
There are many dangerous streets and neighborhoods here. Avoiding them is crucial for the delay ride.

Road speed option
In motorcycle it does not avoid highways very well. Have an option to select the speed(and avobe) of the road you would like to avoid. Example avoid all roads that have a speed limit of 45mph or higher

When a vehicle is broken down in the middle of the road, we aren't able to report it or say which lane is blocked.
When we come up to a vehicle that is disabled in the middle of a road, we can only report it as being on the shoulder. We need to be able to report it as blocking the road and report which lane is blocked/closed.
